Amazing BLM Camping with it ALL!

We love boondocking and spending two weeks in Quartzsite during the January RV show was amazing. Be prepared for large crowds but you’ll have a blast!

Boondocking at its best

This place has everything! Open desert boondocking mixed with the basic amenities needed like water, trash and sewer. 

We really like it here

We found our stay here very pleasant.   Everyone we talked to was kind and friendly.   Will definitely be back next season.  

Great place to winter

This desert BLM is awesome!  Affordable. Trash and water available and lots of space to camp and roam the desert 

Desert fun

We boondocked at this location in January and found the weather reliving from the cold north.  There is water, dump and garbage available upon entering/exiting the property.  There is a large expanse of desert to choose were to set up.  We paid $40.00 for 2 weeks and enjoyed every moment of being in the desert.  I will give some advice.  When choosing a spot, look at other RVs in the immediate area, if they have a generator sitting next to the rig, move on.  We moved 2 times before finally finding a spot were we did not have to listen to a noisy generator for hours on end, if not overnight.

Boondocking, Desert style

The good: water, trash, dump are all available here. Very level ground. 
The bad: people. So many people. The price you pay for the good. 

The Good and the Bad

This is Long Term Visitor Assoc.  camping on BLM land. $180 for 7 months or $40 two weeks. There are trash receptacles, water and dumping. It is camping in the desert. 

Great Camping

First time camping on BLM land and we like it. Plenty of wide open space, you can camp near the entrance or far back in the area depending on your preferences. There are minimal services such as water, trash disposal and dump stations. Proximity depends on where you camp. Upside is that RVs are able to spread out; downside is it isn’t as easy to meet fellow campers. 

LTVA Camping is….Interesting 

I like this LTVA because it’s far enough from I10 that you don’t hear traffic, yet easy driving distance to town. Pit toilets are good for those that don’t have black tanks. 

Far and close enough to Quartzsite

Spacious. Garbage, water, and dump at a great price ($180 for 7 months). 

Boondocking at its finest 

This was are first time with our rig out 38ft easy drive through, they let us stay  one night no charge. We stayed between the nudist area and family lol
