Hi all, I plan on going to Quartzsite this year for the big show. Would like to hear on your prefered camping spot, free camping spot, basic service from BLM and all services campgrounds.Thanks

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.Post should be moved to Public Lands forum.

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

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.

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

Never heard it called Quartzsites before.

I like La Posa it's across the highway from the big tent and south about 3/4 of a mile. Last time I stayed there it cost $40.00 for a 2 week stay. When it's time to refill fresh water and dump your septic tank early AM is the best time otherwise you will have to wait about an hour. If your price sensitive then you can stay at Dome Rock for free it's up by the garage dump West of the Big Tent. Last time I was there the County was writing parking tickets for parking along the HWY. at the Big Tent. Lastly, if you have any animals keep a close watch on them the coyotes in that whole area are extremely aggressive and protected by law.

The RV show is always the third week of January (21-29).

Bring your golf clubs and play the Quartzsite course northwest of town.

Quartzsite will be empty in summer. Folks begin arriving in earnest in Oct/Nov and leave in March/April. For those not staying a season, most come during the last two weeks of January. There's absolutely no problem finding a spot to park though. That area is HUGE.

I stay at La Posa on Hwy. 95 (East side of the Hwy.) one mile South of Quartzsite.

Very hot with few people in the summer. In the summer we over night at a CG with full hookups, no reservation as they are empty.

We always stay at Roses RV Park, about 1/2 mile east of 95, south of the interstate. $7.00 night dry camping, although they do have full hookups as well. Probably should book those now. We like Roses cause we can walk to the event site.

Yatch club in Quartzsite? How far are you from water? Should I bring my Zodiac!
Bring it and launch in the wash during the next flood. :B

Otherwise head west 17 miles to the Colorado River.
