- After having spent three weeks in Quartzsite, this is what we think. Is there anything to do in Quartzsite? LTVA (paid) or 14 days (free) camping areas, which is better? Will I be able to empty my tanks while there? All these questions are answered in the video. Would we do it again?

Made it two months in Quartzsite. Pretty sure we won't be going back. Your video was pretty spot on, even a year after it was posted when we went. The cost and isolation from anything is practically a hostage situation. The road leading into Quartzsite (I-10) out of Pheonix was a nightmare and taxing on the nerves. The local restaurants and businesses had friendly people, yes, but the pricing was absurd and convience and conditions of their parking lots makes the whole thing a travesty and that's being nice.
Good luck on your journeys, be safe and be well!
Well, it seems Quartzsite didn't make it onto your "Favorite Vacation Spots" list! 🍵 Your two-month escapade deserves a bravery medal 🎖️ 😂l. May your future travels be filled with smoother roads and fun destinations. Thank you for watching.
Great video. I smashed the like and subscribe button. I love supporting fellow creators. Quartzite is amazing. I had friends that were just there in Arizona. Thanks for sharing.
Quartzsite is definitely a cool experience. Thank you for watching and we are supporting your channel! All the best!
September 15th through April 15th is how long you can stay.
Thank you for the info
You guys must have hit it just during the cold snap. Don’t be afraid to go back in February or March.
That was it for Quartzite for us this year. 😊
I think the word youe looking for is Retired hahaha, it's a good place to go if your Retired or don't work anymore and want to get away from the snow for 6 months or so.
I would agree with that statement. 😀
I think everyone should go see it once, it's mostly about the big rv show and warmer weather, most of the time...
We absolutely agree with that statement. It is definitely something to experience.
@@rvseeingyou I drove a big rig for year's pass there, it's something to see, but I'm like you, I'm sure it's a good cheap place to stay but not for kids, we're hoping to go there someday, we live in the Ozarks now, we used to be in Southern California.
@@camperbum I’ve heard the Ozarks is a beautiful place. Maybe we will get to visit someday.
@@rvseeingyou come in the spring, it's my favorite time lots to see from Branson to Hardy Arkansas, we live in West Plains Missouri 45 miles north of Mountain Home Arkansas, not alot of boondocking around here, but I hear, Branson has a few places. If you come this way let me know if I can help with anything. Hwy 62/412 starts by Tulsa and will take you across to Tennessee 😊
I’m a nomad who stays light on the land, so being in a tent is a true living experience for me. Thank you for your energy in your video(s).
See you down the road…
WalkINBeauty

All good points JP! We don’t think we would spend that much time there again! Good for a quick few days.
Like the tunes! My kinda music...
New subscriber. Thanks for this video as I'm about to become a full time nomad. I'm a jewelry and stain-glass artist and would like to sell at the swap meet. Love the desert!
Thank you for the sub and wish you all the best with your new journey. The desert is beautiful especially during winter months.
I missed it, why wont you go outside?
Not sure we understand your question!
Thank you for sharing your experience:)
Glad you found a Kidlet friend/ art creator
Did you feel comfortable with that large a population as far as Covid or Omicron?
Have you found local hot springs yet?
Blessings on the journey!
Tea, our entire family is vaccinated so we felt comfortable in these situations. That is not to say it is still not possible to become infected. As for Hot Springs, we visited a few in Oregon last summer. We’ve been meaning to do more but have a lot on our plate. 😂 If you have any recommendations please let us know.

Thank you 🤷🏿♂️
Kids are normally in school and if you wanted more heat - should have stayed longer in Yuma for that time of year. PS: maybe ask TJ if he likes rocks, crystals or old ghost towns/mines !!?
Have you heard of homeschooling or World Schooling? After every hike, the kid comes back with a pocket full of rocks; you should see my Jeep backpack. As for going South, we’re in Mexico. Thanks for watching the video.
Weather wise maybe it would help to make your first week the week of the show. Then staying a week or two beyond that would more likely be warmer. Doesn’t address your son’s lack of playmates though.
You are a lovely family for taking the time to volunteer!
Valid point Patricia! In all honesty, it started warming up just as we left. Thank you for taking the time, we appreciate it!
I like how you-sort of pause.When saying retirees.Instead I probably would have said-Old Timer’s!
I didn't want to come off "wrong". I am 45 and I'll tell anyone I'm getting old. I know people nearing 70 and they don't want to hear that word.
Agree with you…we stayed 11 days in LaPosa (as you said, with dump, water, trash). We were with a group that met most evenings around 4…occasional fires or outings. Most people seemed to go 4-wheeling but that’s not our thing. We walked a lot on some great trails that led off the “Magic Circle”, and I volunteered for a couple of days at the RTR - but yeah, we got bored. We think in a future year we might check out Imperial Dam or Mittrey Lake, because then we could kayak. Still wouldn’t do it for more than a month, though…we’d be itching to move. Btw, you guys might like Xscapers gatherings (they had one up at Havasu)…also I assume you’ve checked out Full Time Families.
Hey Eileen, we feel the same. Funny you mentioned Xscapers! We actually went to that event in Havasu but had to leave early. I’m assuming you are with the group? If so, maybe we will meet at one of their meetups. And thanks for checking out the video! 🤗
@@rvseeingyou aww, you are kind…nope, we are with the “old” escapees, but I try to steer younger rvers toward Xscapers. No way could I stay up for their evening events, lol!
@@turnbullstravels735don’t feel bad, we had to slip away on one too many occasions (bed). I don’t think we made it past midnight period 😂. We plan to attend an Escapees event to see what’s the difference (if any) 😊
Nice videos. I’m liking the reviews of the camping areas. We are like y’all and like to be nude. How do you find time for those areas with your son with you? The nudest resort we go to is 21+.
We only go to AANR resorts so it’s not a problem! The Magic Circle is not 21+, it’s just an open area for people/ families who don’t mind being nude.
Wait I’m confused- you left cause it was too cold to walk around naked?
Is it common for RV resorts have “clothing optional” areas?? 🙄
No, we went knowing we were only staying 3 weeks, and we did. We were just pointing out that it was also cold. And most RV parks aren’t AANR friendly. If that’s something you are looking for, check out www.aanr.com/
@@rvseeingyou you should totally do a video on that! I’ve never even heard of this sub-culture in the RV community- that would be interesting!
@@kristinaschmit8009 we definitely will at some point. Thank you for watching and the feedback.
@@rvseeingyou you should- you “buried the lead” in that story!! 😂
@@kristinaschmit8009 🤣🤣🤣 it’s a “balancing act”! We will get there 😊.
I'd agree with you that Q isn't a great kids' place, and that you hardly see any of them here. (I've been coming here in winter from Minnesota for a few years, and love it.) But I'm seeing fewer and fewer kids anywhere I boondock. Used to be lots, now just about none. Don't know why.
We are fairly new to RVing & thought this was the norm. We have heard from more seasoned families that there are more kids, just not at Q. 😊
I'm heading that way early in October. You are right. Very few kids. Mostly retired Baby Boomers. Mid winter is quite cool, but before and after is really nice.
Enjoy your trip and safe travels! Thanks for watching.
Im going to start living in my van very soon, when is the best time to get up there?
No expert but November is a good time. It does get cold especially December to January. Wish you all the best!
@@rvseeingyou thank you!!!
You both are very entertaining, can’t wait for your next adventure 🙂
we really appreciate it!
Just found you guys and subbed. Best of luck with your channel. Thanks for the 411 about Q
Thank you for the Sub and for watching? We hope the information was useful.
You had the kids .it's an adult place you need to go out at night do the night life . Take your coats cause it's cold you guy hide out in the trailer
Not sure I understand what you are saying?
Clothing optional beach in my home town in VT! Beautiful lake (Lake Willoughby)! Maybe we will meet there one day in our future!
We’ll check it out! Sounds good!
I travelled there (Willoughby:) and dipped this summer
Lovely!
Do you have a 4wheeler like the Ranger just wondering, I am thinking about getting one
Hi Thomas, we don’t have a 4wheeler. We tow a Jeep and that takes up all of our weight. But… if we could we would. Thanks for watching!
This is great information, new friend here
Thank you PTR.
@@rvseeingyou your welcome
Hello, I enjoy your videos! Thank you 🙏🏾
Hi Wayne, thank you for checking us out. Have a wonderful weekend.
what time of year were you there that it was so cold...summer?i know it's pretty hot there in ther summer
We were there in December to January. Summers are brutal out there!
@@rvseeingyou thanks
It has really changed since I first went and worked in 1995, one of the early full timers. It’s always a cold snap in January.
Maybe the “RV Lifestyle” isn’t for you?
We would be lying if we said that’s not a possibility! We started RVing a year ago and don’t have the years of experience that you might have.
Either way, we aren’t/weren’t telling others not to go. What we said is, it wasn’t for us “presently.”
We do hope to continue our journey and thank you for watching! Cheers & hope we cross paths someday!
@@rvseeingyou there’s a difference between full time boondocking and RV parks. I have friends that lean towards both camps, it takes time to work it all out.
Not picking on you just tossing it out there.
@@paulshannon4576 didn’t take it offensively.
We full time boondock! We only RV park when we have to. Lithium batteries, 510 watts solar plus a diesel generator and we travel with 3 (5) gallon jugs of fresh water. The first 7 months in our rig we hooked up twice to shore power and that was because the lithium batteries needed to be calibrated.
@@rvseeingyou Ah my kind of camping. I tell friends that if a see another RV, it’s crowded. 😁. Have you been south of Ajo, Arizona? Darby Wells Rd? Bates Well Rd?
@@paulshannon4576 th-cam.com/video/ovDrqJhnnFE/w-d-xo.html check out the background in this picture. I'm sure you will recognize the location 🙂
Very nice video! Marie ❤️
Thank you Marie!
New subscriber 🖐
Thank you Donna 🤗
Thanks guys for the info
Thanks for watching!
My guess is pretty soon all you will see is RV youtubers filming themselves at every attraction
Not if people don’t watch! I think people watch things they’re interested in!
