Why do you think this has happened? I plan on coming out there next year for our first time. Has there been an increase in crime? I hear about people having generators stolen etc.
It is a combination of things pointing to greed. The show promoters keep running up their charges for space. Then the vendors can't make their 300% so they raise their prices. Then most of the customers who by the way are mainly on Social Security and who have not had a decent cost of living increase but who have seen Groceries, electric and heating bills along with greedy municipal increases for water, sewer, and garbage all rise just simply refuse to pay for all that is offered in Quartzsite. The drop in fuel prices helps get folks there but it does not feed them or pay their park rent. An example, The phone case I bought in Quartzsite for $6.00 last year is $12.00 this year. There is going to be some changes,(can't help but be) in the coming years. It'll still be a fun time and experience.
