Quartzite?

Is the big gathering with all the mfgrs. there this year?

    Absolutely and many add a few dogs to it as well :( We don't usually do the tent the first weekend or to early in the day.
    We have been going for many years and enjoy the camping with our group of friends out in the desert. The tent and A-Z are just something to do.

    Depends on what time of the day you go. Mornings are pretty crowded but the afternoons are less so. But, yes you can make it, just don't expect to drive full speed ahead. The tent does get full but I think the Covid protocol will open it up
  • The closest (a short walk) is the La Posa West Long Term Visitor Area - dispersed dry camping @ $40.00 per 2 weeks. There are a number of free BLM camping areas within a couple of miles of the Big Tent, but parking at the tent is a PIA.
  • I've never been there myself. Where's the best place to camp to be close to the show?
  • I'll be heading there for the first time, gotta go to the show... I'm shopping!
  • If you are asking about the "Big Tent" show, it is scheduled for January 22 - 30th. I wouldn't call it a show with all manufacturers; more like a state fair with an RV emphasis.
