Quartsite can be a fun place to go depending on when. There are a bunch of shows put on at different times of the year-we have always gone to the RV show. We have always stayed in areas with no hook-ups as we are self contained. Have stayed on BLM land or private campgrounds--they are dirt--you pick your spot and park it.($6.00 to $15.00 per nite). That was a few years ago--may be more now. Never had any varmit or rodent problems. There is a "Honey Wagon" that drives around if you are close to town. Lars
