Nice little spot off the main hwy. Not much besides a rocky dirt area. Plenty of space though. Verizon cell service decent
Traveler
Very nice State Park campground. Sites are spaced far apart. Nice rangers and volunteers. Clean all around; two shower areas, two beaches, one dogs can go on. Lots of grassy areas for playing, or dog walking.
I would give the park 5 stars except for one think. Wow, the water really tastes bad. They are apparently not of city water.
You will be happy staying here.

Camping is what you expect in the dessert. There is a place for drinking water and dumps. However.... We arrived to the rudest, most obnoxious attendant when we tried to check it. MAKE SURE you arrive with a Printed (phone QR code) not good enough. If you need to get a printout of your online payment, you will have to drive to Luv's truck stop and ask the service desk- you email them your online payment and they print it out for$2. But wait there is more. I went back and the un-nice ranger lady now told me I have to go 2 miles down to Tyson Wash with my new printed info and get them to issue my stickers and paper receipt. So, why can't they just scan your QR code from your phone at ever campground in the complex and register you? Hey, just like getting on an airplane, going to the movies, boarding a train, or visiting a museum......

Stopped here for an overnight. Mostly snowbirds who looked settled in for the winter. A few sites along the river with cabanas. Sites have water and electric, but no sewer. A little cramped and not private at all, but are pretty long for pull throughs. There are private RV parks on both sides of it that have restaurant/bars on the water that you can walk to which is a great feature. Great location.
Only gave it 4 stars not 5 because it has "government park" qualities, but is a great place for the price.

Amazing campsite setting nestled against the Saddle Mountains. Beautiful Sunsets & Sunrises. Stargazing is spectacular. You won't regret it!

I heard a rumor there was good cell coverage with Verizon,but that was false. Nice Campground, good place to fish, traiks are short but ok.
Guide
Right off Palm Canyon road. Lots of flat spots to choose from. Our low clearance 2WD had no problem. Some traffic heading to Palm Canyon trail but not too bad and just during the day.
TravelerPros: The views are absolutely beautiful, sites are spaced out, quiet and clean, most roads almost any car can make it there are a few that requires a truck.
Cons: Flies are horrendous out here, no matter what you try to do to keep them away or out it’s almost impossible to do!

This is an open BLM camping area. The access is between Mike 134 and 133 on AZ hwy 95. It is about 11 miles south of Parker, AZ. You cross a cattle guard to access, then head down a dirt road. You can camp anywhere, but the better spots are after the second cattle guard. Cell service for Verizon is 3 to 4 bars. It is quiet from campers, but you can hear traffic on hwy 95. Services are close by in Parker, AZ, including dumping stations and water filling stations. There are several dumpsters around town, and a transfer station. This area is about 25 miles north of Quartzsite, AZ.
Guide
Easy and accessible for my overnight stay. Getting a tire replaced tomorrow so wanted to be close to town and this worked great and was easy.
GuideThis is an awesome spot the views are spectacular. There were a lot of people here but you can find a spot away from other campers or also great for groups. Only about 12 miles from quartzite.
Guide
Easy access road in. Found a shady spot with a fire pit. Beautiful views of mountains and cactus.
Guide
The dirt road leading in is very easy to drive on. There are many stone campfire rings. Cactus and shrubs all around. In the 50s during the day high 30s at night.
Scout
Close to the big tent but road noise is an issue. Great service when the network isn’t overloaded during the big tent event.
RangerWe drove by Quartzsite and decided that was not for us. It looked like a commune in the desert.
We decided to camp here and liked it enough to stay 3 nights. There was some freeway noise but not that noticeable once you get 100 yards away from the freeway.
We found a very secluded spot and did not see a sole the entire time we were here. We felt safe and secluded.
There was a big beautiful fire ring. You are not allowed to gather firewood here so pick some up before leaving town. Also fires are only allowed from October to March.
If the weather is not too cold, its a great option for winter camping.
One thing to remember about this place. There is only one store nearby and it is has the highest prices I have ever seen. They have a good selection but you will not like paying that much.
Guide
The campground was booked but the overflow doesn’t need reservations. Just drive in. The over flow is better in my opinion because it is paved and the regular campsites are not paved. 20 spots in overflow. Showers unlocked. Drinking water tap available in overflow lot as well. Well worth the $20
GuideLooks like this is a rv park with a healthy social club and lota if activities. RVs park a bit too close for us and it is a dusty place. No cell service at all at our site.
Guide
You GOTTA visit the annual Quartzite RV Show!!! Lots of Camping & RV stuff plus Hundreds of other vendors. We spend at least a week here in mid-late January every year. Meet old friends from around the country or make new ones. The show also includes a week of different Seminars covering a host of topics.
There are vault toilets as well as Dumpsters for your Trash. Across Hwy 95 there are dump stations and water available. Cost is: Up to 14 days = $40 Up to 28 days = $80 Up to 180 days = $180

Had a nice stay at a very nice well kept campground.
Guide
FREE & SPACIOUSNESS! Lots of places to park without being on top of the neighbors. Closest camper is over 400 yards away. Great views in all directions and only 3.5 miles to Palm Canyon. PC is the ONLY place in AZ where Palm trees are native. Apparently they have been growing in this secluded spot since this whole area was under water. Think of the song "Beach Front Property in Arizona".... Anyway, something cool to see. It's less than 4 miles off AZ-95 on a dirt road followed by a 1/2 mile VERY EASY hike from the parking area.
GuideLake Alamo is one of our favorite spots!!! Great place for SxS riding. I've been riding here over 15yrs and always find new trails. Must visit the Wayside Oasis for Lunch and a beer on every visit.
Guide
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
Scout
We tried several times to see about getting a spot but no one was there to help us out so we quit trying
ScoutNice campground very clean
ScoutThis was a great place to start for us. We left home barely ahead of a snowstorm and we were still winterized. Flushed and filled our tanks got our dogs socialized. Fantastic place to find our feet. Full service bar and waterfront access. Nice restaurant. Try the roadrunner.
GuideWay to busy and packed We like our space and people park so close The lines for the dump station and trash are long. Water is drinkable but gross. Not worth it when you can move around free blm and not have as many neighbors.
Guide
We loved Dome Rock. It was so much better than the paid the LTVAs. It had less people and much more quiet. Our group had a blast at Dome Rock. We stayed on the side off of Cholla Rd.
