Hi Jolly BLM Dispersed Camping Area, near Quartzsite, AZ, is a no-frills spot perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and a bit of rugged charm. This place is all about the basics—no water, no toilets, no hookups. But hey, it's free, and you can stay for up to 14 days.
The area is flat and spacious, making it easy to find a spot for your rig, whether you're rolling in a big Class A or pitching a tent. The camp host is friendly and helpful, and you'll find a mix of campers, from fancy RVs to small tents. Dogs are welcome, and folks generally keep them on leashes, which is great if you're a dog lover like me.
One of the best things about Hi Jolly is its proximity to Quartzsite. It's just a couple of miles away, so you can easily pop into town for supplies. There's a place called RV Pit Stop that's a lifesaver for dumping tanks and getting water. Just a heads-up, though—cell service is hit or miss. You might get voice and text, but don't count on data.
The scenery is classic desert—gravelly ground, some taller trees for shade, and wide-open skies. If you're into sunsets, you'll love the views here. And if you're visiting during the RV show, expect it to be busier than usual.
In short, Hi Jolly is a straightforward, no-cost camping area that offers a safe and clean environment. It's perfect for those who don't mind roughing it a bit and enjoy the freedom of dispersed camping.
