    Quartszite is crowded, very dusty and dirty with a lot of high winds ... You have grocery stores that are very limited with fairly high prices... Lots of homeless people living in Quartzsite... In the winter months. A lot of times the BML land used for free boondocking is pretty cluttered with trash... I've seen where people where pooping and trash bags in buckets then burying the bags...so you come in to camp, you will never know what's buried underneath you where you are camping...just the thought of camping on top of someones poop is enough to want to stay away from boondocking in Quartzsite....you do want to camp in Apache Junction, Arizona lots of winter visitors...are now going and camping along term in AJ ... Apache Junction, Arizona

    Being a weekend warrior RV'r myself I never understood the witch hunt for cheap restaurants . Most of us like myself have "Kitchens" in our rig that includes refrigerators. I always opt to cook my own meals in my RV over dining out. Most my meals are high quality foods at under 8 dollars a serving sometimes only 4 dollars, such as hotdogs and hamburgers. And when the fish are biting the cost is ZERO !!

    Apache Junction, Arizona is the place to come to in the winter for long term camping.... You're 10 miles from three large, lakes. Your just down the street from Chandler and Mesa... Two very large Cities.... Apache Junction or AJ as it is called....a lot of Western history in AJ... You have scenic hiking in the Superstition mountains...AJ is fairly close to Phoenix, Arizona...you can take road trips up north like to Show Low Arizona.... There's a fourth lake not too far from AJ called .. Saguaro Lake.

    This year was my third year in Quartzsite. I would say my favorite for camping was Plamosa Road from 95 east, all the way to Bouse. All 14 day areas except for one or two locations. Beautiful terrain and at the end of Plamosa Road a RV park with recently renovated showers and laundry facilities. $5 showers.

There’s usually no internet connection here though but in my opinion camping is better unplugged from internet and tv etc etc.

    Leave me out. I don't drink don't smoke. Don't have ATV. No motorcycle. Have food for 5 month. I will get the free water though and fuel at the pilot before heading to Yuma after RTR. I will need to find parking some where in Yuma area to camp. I figure i would check out Algadones, MX go in get a xray to see how they can do about my teeth. Than get an appoinmet to come back later in the year to start work on my teeth. I have minivan camper.find out about what i can do to make it more livable. Stick around the area until it get to hot for me and head up to grand canyon for 14 days than head to leadsville Co. Go hicking. At least that the plan for now. Its probably not going to be easy to meet Bob Wells since is going to be swamp already. I am really looking forward to this trip. It will be my first trip outside of Texas since 2008. I hope to make a few new friens. I am ciming excited and a positive attitued. Maybe we will cross paths? Who knows. See you down the road.

    Your information is very good 👍 I agree with you on the best pizza in the world, Al’s Pizza. You can get great advice from Lifestyle RV the service department is great. I did go to The Desert Bar outside of Parker, the drive-in was crazy, but worth it for sure. Very fun place! I love Quartzite.

    I went to Quartzsite last year, to much population.
    Think I'll do the gulf coast this winter.

    Thanks for the positive review of Quartsite , businesses and surrounding areas. I want the BLM experience when I retire.
    Is it safe for a single female traveler?
    Do they have rules & monitors on site for ppl abusing the rules? I e Leaving trash around, do they have quiet time or is it a loud party all night, is there a corner spot just for ppl who want quiet? Do they limit how many campers can be on site or is it like a parking lot? heard they have mice problems.
    Where is the nearest pharmacy, medical center & hospital?

      We have camped here several times, over a period of 6 years. Normally starting about the middle to late in February. We have not been there when the big tent show was going. We have found most of the other people camping near us to be respectful, not too noisy, and have always felt safe. For a single female traveler, I would just recommend that you not look for a place that is too far from other campers, or too isolated, and that you be open to greeting those around you. Most of the others will be be glad to keep an eye out for troublemakers. Common sense for you should be your guide. There are posted rules, but only some of the BLM sites have a camp host, and their hours are a little spotty. In some places, they do actively monitor people to make sure the rules are being followed. Try it, and we think you'll like it. Good luck.

    This is an awesome review, and great insight of the area. Scott the Quail Run rate does charge $0.20/K.W extra for the electric for the monthly rate during January and $100 more for the weekly rate, so do you think that you would use say $400 more per month for the electric, bringing a monthly rate to $925. Our rig is not set up with solar although self contained. We haven't boondocked for any length of time, can you tell.

      Are you kidding me. The electric bills in a park in the summer isn't even that much.

      There’s actually lots of hiking and other stuff to do. LaPaz County has a desert golf course very close to Q. Bonfires, Live music. Up to you to create your lifestyle in the Q. Not to mention a ton of Vendors selling everything.
