Nice free BLM dispersed, close to Q
This camping area is one of 5 BLM free 14d dispersed camping areas in the Q area. Host on site to issue free permits but not sure why? Lots of nice open desert pavement areas and some scattered saguaros. Cell signal is fair to good. No amenities, no water, no trash, no toilets. Only a few miles south of Q on hwy #95. LTVAs are between here and back to Q.

Road Runner Long Vistor BLM
Pulled in late October and there may haven been 3 other campers. Plenty of room with close to flat & flat spots opened. Didn't see a host yet, so maybe this will be free. It can handle any size rig. Took some entrance photos for easy spotting from the road. The sign at the entrance was laying on the ground.
Roadrunner BLM
Plenty of room
Very accessible
I'm here in the height of snowbird season and the area is pretty empty, although the friendly camp host said there are hundreds en route, a women's camp group, ham radio operator group, and some other group whom I've forgotten. Nothing too spectacular for desert camping, mostly flat, a few dry stream beds. Ok internet reception.
First Quartzsite experience was a winner!
Arrived in late October on the last leg of our trip from Montana to Yuma. Stopped at the “fee campground” and after we told they we were only staying one night they suggested the “no fee” area called Roadrunner. Proceeded to register with Ed (great guy) at Roadrunner and found the area excellent for us. Solid ground, not too dusty, enjoyable stay. Less than 12 RV’s that night.

Beautiful Place and Lots of Cactus
We attended a camper rally Feb 10-14, 2021 and this also happened to be the first time we took our new rig out on the road. The drive to the spot from the 10 was easy and the camping spots (pull out areas) are nice and flat. It was quiet and the stars were clear and beautiful. During the day, there were several off road vehicles the drove by as where we camped was just off the dirt road so you may want to pull off the road as far as possible since it's very dusty. We brought our son's bike and we were glad we did. Lots of places to ride and gave him something to do.
Great place to walk and explore but if you have a dog, please keep them close as there are a LOT of cactus and big thorns everywhere. Our dog got wrapped up in some and it was quite the moment but he's OK. It's also very rocky so watch those tender paws.
The site's close to the town of Quartzsite which is cute and quirky but has everything you need; water, dump station, food, etc. Noise was non-existent at Roadrunner and we had a great time.
No amenities so pack in and pack out and please, leave no trace. This area was very clean so let's leave it that way. Happy Camping!

March 12-14, 2021
Ended up back in Quartzsite for a family birthday and it was cool to know the area and where to park ours and a rental RV. I truly dig this place. We parked further back from the dirt road this time so didn't have to worry about closing our camper door every time someone drove by in a off-road vehicle. Also had boots for our dog to keep the paws safe. He's still getting used to them. =)

Great central location
Great views, hikes, interesting people.
Very Large14 day limit BLM
This is one five of 14 Day LVTA camping areas in the Quartzsite vicinity.
It was a very large site that had entrances on both sides of the road that each had their own host. Lots of flat open spaces. It is managed by the Bureau of Land Management(BLM). BLM lands have special rules, fees( sometimes none) and can be popular with boon-docking.. I have seen other reviews saying it was free to stay here, but there are signs that say LTVA permits are required for use between September 15th and April 15th. Seasonal fee is $180.00 and 14 day permits were $40.00
I only had a look around, and decide to move on looking for actual free locations.

Terrific Winter Boondocking!
Great location. Only about 6 miles from Quartzsite, AZ where they have most supplies you need. Cell service in area but slow depending on how many campers are sharing the tower with you. We just got back from our 4th January trip there in a row.

Free & Gorgeous Views
Free dispersed camping, just 5 miles outside of Quartzsite, with no services available, but lots of space and beautiful views of surrounding mountains. This BLM area seemed to have less traffic and you could not hear the incessant hum of traffic on Interstate 10. You could hear a bit from Hwy 95, but it’s much less frequent and annoying.
Gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and very easy access to hiking and OHV trails. Sunrises and sunsets are endless and jaw dropping! Easy access back into town for food, gas, firewood, laundry, and just about anything an RVer or camper could need.
