I’ve been there 3 times and I plan on going again hopefully in January or February. A good place to camp near Quartzsite is KOFA National Refuge. It’s not crowded there at all.
I do only free. Between Oxbow Rd south of I-10 Ehrenberg. Mittry Lake Yuma is great for veterans to shop at the Commissary. Palm Canyon between Quartzsite and Yuma. Yuma is a zoo compared to food shopping in Parker. These are just a few off the top of my head. This is my 6th winter in Quartzsite. It might sound selfish, but I keep my favorite places to myself. Don't be afraid to explore, but know your limitations
I think the deal with the price hike is going to allow them to improve the camp areas. Install more RV stations for black/grey water, trash and such. Install more toilets and what ever else. 600 dollars is still under 100 dollars a month. Im going down for the first time in a few weeks, and yeah id like to see it remain cheap. But, as a new guy to there, id probably pay the 600. Im someone that will need the vault toilets, lol
I totally agree Philip. Less than $3 a night. Plus, it'll probably keep some of the crime down (tweakers, etc). Have fun! I'm about 3 years away - then Quartzsite. Woop! The big tent will be a blast!
It’s a good plan, Matt! The free 14 date areas are great. I’ve never had a problem there but since it’s free, you just wanna make extra sure your stuff is locked up. 🌵🌲
Scaddan Wash, Dome Rock are both free areas but you have to move every 14 days. I also was out today in LaPosa South and there were 4 BLM Rangers there.
If the rate increase goes to more Rangers, I would support that as well. I don’t think anybody has a problem with a rate increase. It’s just the amount and if that money will be properly spent.
Some folks has trashed areas ! Has to clean up .. nasty dumping as well. Maybe part of reason for price hike .. Thats cheap anyway you look at it .. keep out rif … ( maybe ) Be safe my Friend
Nomads are good at finding good deals on services like RV dump and water. Some places are free. Some places are just a few bucks and some places are expensive. 25 bucks for water seems expensive. But if you need it, you need it and then it’s cheap. 🌲🌵
I'm about 3 days away from Q. I have the LTVA pass, so I'll see whether or not an increase in price would be worth it for me. I really doubt it will be as high as the proposal. Food prices are much more of a concern to me!
Didnt they put in several more sewage stations in the ltva or Q vicinity?Maybe I missed it, but you keep saying only water and dump station. Maybe you are combing trash removal and sewage, but it doesn’t come across that way. State refuge/trash dumpsters and removal is also included. I think there should be more options to pay but not at a rate of $85. Though, $85 for a month with the THREE services I mentioned is not ridiculous, but may be hard for many to swallow paying it in a lump sum. One issue with monthly rates to help people pay may probably be the available manpower. i.e. tracking folks camped who may be on a paid month or past due.
There are four more dump stations, but they did not work last year and I don’t think they’re going to be working this year either. It will be an excellent upgrade once they are working. Also, I think a realistic price for RV dump and water supply is only about $10-$20 per use. So that’s only $40 maybe $60 a month and the truth is a lot of nomads can find those services for free. There are also other costs like you mentioned the dumpsters and then road repairs signage and such. So maybe a fair price would be $85 per month and you can choose the number of months you want. 🌵🌲
Great live, GO. Good lighting and audio. Yeah, $600 is OK. It's still less than $3 a night. And - they'll use the money for more ENFORCEMENT, which is REALLY needed. Plus utility improvements, etc. That said, I'll go on FREE BLM and go into town once in a while. I dunno... We'll see what they really decide to do. $600 isn't set in stone yet.
I appreciate the input! I think it would be much more fair if they just charge $100 per month. But really all you’re getting is a dump station and water, which is only worth 10 or 20 bucks per use. 🌵🌲
@@cliffordlarson621 hi Cliff, where did you meet her? I was lucky enough to meet her at South Llano state park in Texas which by the way is my favorite park so far but I’ve only been to three or four
I guess that’s kind of what I’m assuming. To raise it from 180 to 600 seems greedy, but I might be missing something. There may be more to it that I just not understanding.
I am moving into my class A on Jan 2. Im going to rent a space in Mesa Az and get my rig ready to boondoxk next season. Any fb groups anyone can recomend
These people should pay more. Why should taxpayers subsidize them? These LTVAs are for those that have the expensive RVs. The rest of us, the peasants, with less money, have to crowd around the toilets, and smell sh-t all day to be allowed. I travel the National Forest across a few states, but I can't afford one of these RVs. So I carry a tent. In the winter, I have to go to the Quartzsite/Yuma area to stay warm. But because I'm poor, and lower class, I can't afford a home on wheels. Why shouldn't they pay more for their privilege? I don't want them or anyone else treated unfairly, but having to pay $85 a month in rent instead of $25 a month, so that taxpayers don't have to pay their bills, is not unfair. I'm not on welfare, and I live outdoors. So why should they get welfare?

Ha ha. Yeah, I wasn’t really trying to complain but maybe it came across that way. I just don’t see the logic in it. That’s really what I should’ve said. It doesn’t seem logical, but perhaps I’m missing something. 🌲🌵
One thing I never hear spoken about is the $180 fee is for up to three stickers for truck, trailer, chase vehicle, etc. and I believe two people. I'm a single camper in a minivan yet I have to pay the same amount. That doesn't seem fair.
Ok,quit complaining about the price increase. It's still very cheap for 7 months. People are trash dumping the areas as well as campgrounds and national parks. No wonder prices are going up😑
Well, I would complain if the price was increased to $600. It’s public land it’s supposed to be free camping technically. But seeing as how some basic services are provided, it does make sense to charge for that but if you see the conditions of the dump in the fact that there were only two dump stations for hundreds of thousands of campers, it just doesn’t really make sense to raise the price. Feels Like a money grab is what I’m saying, but if evidence can be presented to show that it is not a money grab then I think we would all look at that evidence fairly. 🌲🌵
Yeah, you’re right. I forgot about that Chinese restaurant. I’ve never been inside of it. I wonder if it’s actually any good? But the last time I actually ate at a restaurant was five years ago so I’m not really the person to ask about restaurants. 🌵🌲
@GotOut I'm nor a restaurant person either. I do a WalMart run every 4-6weeks and cook the food I love. Tonight's dinner is meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. I'm feeding 4 people and will have enough fir meatloaf sandwiches tomorrow. Can't beat it. 😊
Cooking your own food is definitely more healthy and also less chance of getting food poisoning. Besides it being cheaper. I do miss fast food though every now and then especially Taco Bell.
@GotOut Taco Bell? I haven't had Taco Bell in well over 15 years. I lived them at one time but then I started realizing that was what was causing a bad vase of Montezuma's revenge. I make the most amazing from scratch tacos and burritos. I also don't eat ANY fast food. I love your channel. You are very personable. Be safe in your travels.😊
Here's some info on the price hike. The last price hike to $180 was in 2007 . That's 17 years ago. What hasn't gone up substantially in that time period? Additionally the pass is inclusive of all LTVAs in AZ and CA. I wish anyone can point it out to me where in the US you can go live for $86 per month for water, sewer and trash and not have to move every two weeks. I live on my monthly SS and consider this price more than fair. There is signage for the dump. I didnt have any problem my first year here. How many of these same people that are complaining about this rate hike on public land in Quartzsite are some of the very same people that will go to one of the National Parks paying crazy money for a day where they can't even camp except some over priced concierge operated campground that's on public land. You get out of Quartzsite what you want out of it. I have traveled 18000 miles in the past 1.5 years with just me and my small fur babies. I'm 66 years old and female. Quartzsite is awesome for me. The Lit Cactus site is there still but its now The Prickly Bush. I would never stay in LaPosa North, Tyson Wash, or LaPisa West but thats because they are closer to town and more acessible for ths sketchy prople to get to town to panhandle. Like i said you get out of Q what you want out if it. This place is my calming place and i save enough if my SS every month to fund my travels for the other 6 months of the year.
I agree Valeta. You've got a good plan and I'm on-board with that too. I'm a few years away yet, but yeah. Quartzsite looks really fun. Social - new friends are easy to find! Congrats on being OUT there. Go girl! 😊
I understand all the things you're saying but they need to keep it reasonable yes it is definitely cheaper than staying in an RV park they should figure out what their costs are to run this operation their workers and maintaining the dump station and water and then charged accordingly this isn't a money-making Venture for the government
@@GotOut really bu ms me out. I sold my fifth wheel and built a tiny house. I ve been setting up my solar , my holding tanks, etc. To learn about this hike is depressing. I found an RV campground up on Colorado river across Havasu city AZ in California for $355 a mo plus electric unless you have solar. That's with water in water out wifi, showers laundry day use are , for $450 you can have waterfront lot! Lake Havasu!!

To be honest im glad for the hike. This will keep out some of the crooks and thieves i like your idea of $100 a month
I really do think the $100 a month idea is the best as well! Another option would be to simply charge for each use of water and RV dump.
My wife and I plan on going full time next year
Hope you are both ready for a real adventure! 🌲🌵
Been there the last 4 years, never boon-docked. This year we are doing it, don’t scare me! Greet n meet in your future?
The LTVA is very safe. That is my experience. And honestly, everyone is very friendly and willing to offer advice. 🌵🌲
I’ve been there 3 times and I plan on going again hopefully in January or February. A good place to camp near Quartzsite is KOFA National Refuge. It’s not crowded there at all.
Lots of people pay the $40 for 14 days. That’s $80 a month. $100 a month is a deal as long as they add a few xtra water and dump stations
I agree they should definitely add more dump and water stations if the price is significantly raised. 🌵🌲
I do only free. Between Oxbow Rd south of I-10 Ehrenberg. Mittry Lake Yuma is great for veterans to shop at the Commissary. Palm Canyon between Quartzsite and Yuma. Yuma is a zoo compared to food shopping in Parker. These are just a few off the top of my head. This is my 6th winter in Quartzsite. It might sound selfish, but I keep my favorite places to myself.

Missed most of live ☹️. So happy to be here now
Raising the price that much I think it will cause a lot of people to find somewhere else to go or Boondock somewhere nearby. Have fun when you go. 😃
Yeah, that’s my thinking too 🌲🌵
Yes, that's what I'm going to do
I think the deal with the price hike is going to allow them to improve the camp areas. Install more RV stations for black/grey water, trash and such.

I totally agree Philip. Less than $3 a night. Plus, it'll probably keep some of the crime down (tweakers, etc). Have fun! I'm about 3 years away - then Quartzsite. Woop! The big tent will be a blast!
Apparently, they are getting a water tank. No extra pit toilets, no extra garbage cans, nothing for the campers.
Thinking about going
It’s honestly not for everyone. But I think everyone should try it out for a week or two. 🌵🌲
missed the live, catching the VOD now! I've never been to Q but I'm thinking of going down to check it out for a few days this Winter just to see.
It’s a good plan, Matt! The free 14 date areas are great. I’ve never had a problem there but since it’s free, you just wanna make extra sure your stuff is locked up. 🌵🌲
Barking dogs are not a problem for the most part. Loud people are another thing.
There are a few parties, but I have found them to end at a pretty reasonable time in the night. 🌲🌵
Hello from Riverside
Awww, bummed I missed this one. Have tons of questions about the Q. (yes, I watched it anyway, it's just not the same...lol)
Well, thanks for watching the replay random spirit! 🌲🐕🦺🐕🌵
Scaddan Wash, Dome Rock are both free areas but you have to move every 14 days. I also was out today in LaPosa South and there were 4 BLM Rangers there.

I am sorry I missed the Live. I will be coming to Quartzite in January. Is it difficult to access the camping area with a Class A 40 ft ?
You will not have any problem camping at Q with any size rig. 🌵🌲
@@GotOut Thanks
Some folks has trashed areas ! Has to clean up .. nasty dumping as well. Maybe part of reason for price hike .. Thats cheap anyway you look at it .. keep out rif … ( maybe ) Be safe my Friend
Yep. You nailed it Brian. Less than $3 a night. They need more staff for enforcement so I'm all for that. 👍
They have a minimum price for water at the dump station I went to i-95 it was 25.00
Nomads are good at finding good deals on services like RV dump and water. Some places are free. Some places are just a few bucks and some places are expensive. 25 bucks for water seems expensive. But if you need it, you need it and then it’s cheap. 🌲🌵
Can you pay the $40 for two weeks then stay in one of the free areas in Quartzite for two weeks?
Yes, I don’t believe that breaks any rules. Hi Jolly and dome rock are two of the free areas I’ve camped at and I would recommend. 🌵🌲
They also offer 4 weeks for $80. I’m in La Posa South and they have a sign up at the entrance that says that.
I'm about 3 days away from Q. I have the LTVA pass, so I'll see whether or not an increase in price would be worth it for me.
I really doubt it will be as high as the proposal. Food prices are much more of a concern to me!
I hope you’re right that the increase won’t actually be up to $600. A price hike from $180-$300 would seem fair enough. 🌵🌲

I like the the idea of 100 bucks a month. Go ahead and increase prices but don’t force people to sign up for six months.

If they don't provide a dump people will be dumping out in the desert that will be a mess and disgusting
Ok then allow people to pay 86 a mo.
Not 600 at one pop that's fricken nuts
That’s an excellent solution! 🌲🌵
Let’s play a game. Let’s count how many times you say “it’s not fair” in this video.
