humm. Seems some people forget or are judgemental about what constitutes a n rving experience. The Q is about anything goes, everything welcome, just look around find the group or niche to your liking.
We camped for 2 weeks 3 years ago between the aforementioned Blue Birds and the nudist colony at La Posa south.( The Blue Bird gathering time horns are a Hoot, say what? ) We were comfortably surrounded by rigs of every size, age and type, with no concern. Last dec. we again camped out at Plomosa Rd, mile 1 for 2 weeks, all alone for a 1/2 mile in any direction. Whatever you want to find in desert boondock camping, it is there.
This rv community is made up of every slice of our nation, some with wherewithall to have a Newell, a Prevost,a schoolie. whatever. Theres the gent who was brought up going camping, never lost the love of it just taking it to another level while remembering his humble beginnings. these are the folks we respect. A camper, ANY camper a well loved rig of any type regardless of type or age taking their youngsters out to begin their love of the life on wheels.
Quartzsite is one those many miracles evolved in our time, that may pass into our history as did rt 66. I'm glad to be one of the many who can pass on the memory, to the next generation of campers.

RLS7201,
I was very careful not to knock any of the trashy RV's we'd SEEN in abundance as not everyone can afford or even wants to own something like a Prevost. Sorry we didn't take any pics. However, what does it cost to keep an RV etc looking at least halfway decent? Soap and water isn't expensive nor is a little elbow grease or paint! It does require a little of a person's time though and so many don't want to be bothered etc. Can't mention a word on here of what many of them would rather be doing or do as it'd get deleted anyway!
We've never had an issue keeping any of our things decent looking no matter their age. Nor have our family or our neighbors etc. Makes for being a place or area you'd rather be in for sure. Perhaps, you should go into the inner city neighborhoods in many of the larger towns and see how you'd like living there for a few months or even staying overnight. The neighborhoods sure look clean and inviting and where you want to be, right? Most places you'd not even try sleeping with your eyes closed! To each, his own!

Been a member long enough to see the words "goin' to QuartzSite" pop up so often that it seems like I should know what folks are talking about.
I finally looked it up and it looks like a Giant RV Parking Lot that fills up in January/February every year...what on earth brings all those rigs down there????
Thanks
Francesca, stick-in-the-mud

With the exception of some of the old time trailer parks, there are very very very few poor condition RV's in Q. How could they be? Look at the trip they need to make to get there...
Interesting comment "very poor condition RV's about everywhere we looked".
Look more closely.
Sometimes we take our Bounder (cheap) to the Blue Bird rally at LaPosa South, to visit with our friends.
One time we had to move because a Prevost park too close to us with his loud DD 8V92.
You would probably see my ol 95 Bounder as a "very poor conditon RV" but it just returned from a 11,000 mile trip to Alaska, with no major issues.
So.........it may not all be as you percive.

Sure are a lot of thin skinned members posting on this thread. You'd think they are mortally wounded by about anything others say they don't/didn't like about the entire Quartzsite area. If it's your bag, go and enjoy it and if it's not your bag, just stay away. Pretty simple isn't it?

Now why did this experienced scene form such a negative opinion in our minds? (snip)
We are not a bit snooty in anyway as anyone who knows us would tell you. (snip)
Now, go ahead and pick it apart again as I stand firmly by the words i've written!
