My wife and I went to the FMCA Rally in 2013, it was her first. She heard people talk about Quartzsite and wanted to go so when we left the rally this year I took her there and checked into one of the RV parks. We spent two days and looked around (I looked around, she shopped) and after the second day she said "been there done that" . It is a great experience if you are joining friends but not so much if you are on your own. I would say that every RV'er should do it once.
