Quartzsite Arizona has become an insanely popular place for those living in an RV or Van. There really is a lot to learn about the long-term camping and I hope that my thoughts and experiences will help you if you attempt to make the journey to Quartzsite yourself.

I spent 2 winters in Parhump thinking that was better; it's not. A couple nights I woke up to gunfire nearby; there were countless OHV's and trucks going by each day and dust being blown my way as a result. I understand what you're saying, and it's crazy in the Q for sure, but the crazies in Nevada are a bit more psycho, and as a result of the lack of people they think they can get away with more.
When I went I didn’t like the Accessibility to the Camping areas. My rig was new so I went to an affordable RV Park that was clean and had laundry facilities and a few other lovely conveniences
I made the trip down to quartzsite in 2022, paid for the full season and then after 3 weeks I headed back to Kingman. The town was far too crowded for me because I went there during the RV show.
Keep it coming! Love the info! I watch a LOT of nomad channels, you're the first one to mention that there's a separate area for dumping blue-boys (that I've seen, anyway, lol). Does the RV show usually have a lot of smaller trailers that can be towed by a mid-sized truck, or is it generally mostly large units? I've been toying with the idea of coming to Quartzite with just my truck, and then going to the RV show. (Winter hasn't even started yet and I'm already sick of the cold and snow, haha!)
When I went I didn’t like the Accessibility to the Camping areas. My rig was new so I went to an affordable RV Park that was clean and had laundry and a few other lovely conveniences. Personally I don’t like the dirty sand in a wind storm and I know the wind does blow there and sand storms can do damage to a rig
I've done an in depth series of videos on my channel on the price increase and the situation in Quartzsite. Most people have decided they're going to camp in the free area after the price increases next year. I've used the water in the LTVA. It tastes like a copper penny even when filtered. The water in town is $1 for five gallons. You can dump your trash for free at the town transfer station. The $5million dollar Rv dump and water fill station is still not operational. The majority of vault toilets in the LTVA are vile and disgusting. Only the people ones close to the office are kept clean. You'd best bring Lysol wipes with you as well as your own toilet paper as they're frequently out. There are far too many people in Quartzsite during the season. The ATV's are particularly bothersome with the clouds of dust they stir up. I decided not to stay there this year and I've been much happier for it. Peace and solitude are a beautiful thing. Far enough to not have to deal with the insanity but close enough to pick up my mail and packages.
In the LTVA’s, you can pick as crowded an area to camp as you want. You got thousands of acres to choose from. I’m new, so I have been sticking by the main road. It helps to be friendly to the people around you that you most likely will interact with during your stay. Nice girl near me wants to cook a Christmas meal for all campers in the immediate area. I told her I’m not going to discourage her from doing so lol.
The price increase also includes the other LTVA areas. They all need maintenance as well as more ranger presence due to the uptick in population. I don’t disagree with a price increase. But maybe not quite so extreme! Quartszite has become far too sketchy for my taste. I prefer the Imperial Dam area near Yuma.
Hey GO, we're heading there too. Noobies so a bit nervous, gotta say thanks bc we've learned a lot from you ❤️ maybe we'll meet? We like it quiet and drama free 😁 how close is a grocery store for supplies? I heard stuff is very expensive on the Q town. You take care, give dodger and echo a scratch from us 💚 Bill and Sandi 💚
Just so you know, BLM or the forest service says 25 miles straight line as in GPS to GPS location on a map. That is the distance you have to move every 14 days. My father found out by driving 31 miles away, but it was only 19 miles in a straight line. Luckily, he was not ticketed, but scolded.
It seems kind of crazy they are that picky. It seems like the law would be so someone doesn't just set up a home on one spot and the area become a homeless camp or something. If someone packs it in and out and moves it seems it should be okay.
@ too many people had abused the privilege. That’s why they had to put the laws in place. My dad said most of the Rangers were fairly nice. The new young ones are the ones you have to watch out for.
I actually believe they are raising prices on the LTVA's so many people will not come. It's getting so popular (or necessary) to be a "nomad" that they probably would like to reduce the crowd. Although I don't know if you kick all those people into the two week areas how you are going to enforce the 25 mile move?

Currently staying in the free 14 day area off of plamosa road. No where near the amount of people here like 2 yrs ago.
I would stay in the kind of area you filmed this video in. Peace, quiet n beautiful.

Please tell me more 🙏🏼 heading there soon and learning as we go 😁 total noobs 😊
It's already too crowded for me. Oh, well. It's an experience!
Very interesting comprehensive video.
Good video. Thanks for sharing the info. Will be heading to quartzite in the near future. You and the dogs be safe out there ✌🏻🇺🇸

It gets insanely busy! Lots of solitude still available in the desert though… 🌵🌲
Good morning travelers
Mornin’ 🌵🌲🐕🐕🦺
Good morning! Cold here in eastern Washington 🥶
Well you finally made it to "the end of the line" aka Quartzsite

40 degrees Celsius or 104 fahrenheit today in my back garden. I'd love some snow (Australia and it's going to be a stinking hot summer).
Hey 👋 there GO it's amazing to see you Echo and Dagger 😀 it' always pretty where ever you go RV camping 🏕️ you all stay warm
Keeping warm for sure! Thanks, Brenda! 🌵🌲🐕🐕🦺

Very cool. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with all of us. Q is definitely not for everyone… 🌵🌲
You've done well training echo
Hey thanks! He’s a good dog! 🌵🌲🐕🦺🐕
There is a family owned great restaurant there too.
Oh we gotta talk 😄
Like the thumbnail. 👍

Phone a friend! Seek help! That dad joke was a sign you have lost it! XD
why don't you go around black canyon lake? where the fresh fish are.
Great info. TFS

I think everyone is ok with a moderate price increase if services and upkeep and security are increased.
Yes Imperial Dam LTVA is much better experience for camping 😁 everything you need is right there 🤗
Boring is Good. Pizza is better.
With cold beer!
That terrain has to be painful for a dog's feet.
I have 2 pitbulls. One of them is a born guard dog. Anyone invading our space will leave missing an arm.
And you will lose everything in court 😂

You should meet Anna in Quartsite.

Do you ever use a metal detector? Might be fun!
Say hello to the campulance man if you see him ❤

It’s looking very likely that the 7 month permit price is going to go up to $600.00 next year
Hope not. I did an hour long video
About this topic. Lots of chatter in that video. 🌵🌲
@@GotOutif they do, this will be my last year here.
If the raise it that high it will get a little empty.
It'll turn into a wealthy RV park. Sad. Looks like the free sites are going to be more n more less available.
It would be a bad move as folks would fill up the free blm spots and leave garbage everywhere
