Quartzsite camping spot preference

So you basicly have to be frugal on water and waste, I guess the shower has to be quicky.

I do not want to be cramped with other. I will have the scooter so I can drive up and down to the town.

Quartzsite is a lot of fun. In the past I would join a group of RV's and we stayed at the Las Posas South Kiosk ($40 for 2 weeks). We would have a big bonfire and pot luck dinners covering about 5 days. It was so much fun. I won't be able to join the group this year.

I always filled with water (in the previous coach) 100 gallons of fresh water and empty holding tanks (70 gray, 40 black) and only used about half my water over 5 days. I didn't worry about dumping or anything as the line is long (or can be) and just waited until I got home. The coach usually needs washing and a good cleaning on the inside. But, worth every minute as Quartzsite is fun and the Big Tent event is the highlight. If they don't have it, you don't need it! LOL!

Everybody should experience Quartzsite at least once in their life. Being with friends and a group is what made it fun for me.

Safe travels,

Well, I heard there are Quartz and sites, so Quartzsites seem to make sense!

2oldman, you are getting picky again. you knew what he meant

Never heard it called Quartzsites before.

We stayed over at the river. You can see the various campground and rv parks Here

I also like LA Posa it's BLM land that is about $40.00 for 2 weeks, it's one mile South of Quartzsites on Hwy.#95 across the Hwy. from the big tent. I stayed there for 2 weeks in 2011. The BLM provides water and a sewer dump for there paid customers. When at the Big Tent don't park on the shoulder of Hwy. #95 the County sends Officers out there to write tickets. The free campground (also BLM) is at Dome Rock it's Southwest of Quartzsites on the road that goes to the City landfill. Don't know what services they have to offer? I visited friends there one time but never stayed there! The BLM allows you to stay there free for 25 days. The wind blows in the areas that I described to you and it can get dusty. I recommend when at these two areas to bring a small portable quiet generator and extra water. During the day at La Posa you will have to wait in long lines for water and to use the dump station. There is also free WiFi at the Mc Donalds in Quartzsites most people sit out in the parking lot to get on the net. If you have pets don't leave them outside or unwatched in these areas to many coyotes and they are very aggressive and protected by Federal Law. When in town carry a windbreaker and have comfortable walking shoes.

Exactly what 2oldman says.....:) :)

La Posa, Tyson wash. That's likely to be crowded in Jan.. if so, go north 5 miles to Plomosa Road.

My absolute favorite is over the Plomosa road pass toward Bouse, but, internet is spotty there.
