Quartzsite & The BLM!
Quartzsite & the BLM! While I am not currently full timing, I did get my proverbial feet wet last year and spent some time in San Diego County where my life once was and stayed in the Laguna Mounta...

I've never been to Quartzite but can tell you that there are many many people who spend lots of time there for free. Seems your problem was arriving at a bad time, and not taking time to scout out the area before hand.
There is a site/group called "cheaprvliving.com", and also a yahoo group called "vandwellers" who have tons of experience and info on free/cheap places to stay. Go to those sites and ask for advice.
Also if you are 62 or over, you can get a lifetime pass at any National Park or Forest Service office (for $20 I believe) that will allow you to stay for 1/2 price at any Federal facility, and no entrance fees. Lots of Forest Service sites will cost you $5-$6/night with that pass. All the Forest Service sites will have at a minimum vault toilets, and most of them have drinking water.
