Close to the big tent but road noise is an issue. Great service when the network isn’t overloaded during the big tent event.

This is a cool spot and it’s much quieter than plasmas road or spots closer to quartzite. There’s only about 20 spots and they are all pretty decent. We have come several weekends and on holidays and still got great spots. Views are excellent . Here’s the only issue. There are full timers not moving after 14 days as is required by law. Some have really set up shop and this visit we are near someone who is running their generator all day and into the night. They have dogs off leash that they are leaving outdoors to roam and poop wherever. Now most everyone who is here is cool and nice but there are some really cool spots that I would like to camp at that someone has basically claimed. I do t want to be the “ Karen”, sorry all of you named Karen, but is there anyone we can call that might be able to enforce some rules. I would prefer these area be in supervised and there not ever need TK be rangers patrols g etc but that requires everyone to follow the rules. I will say it’s o my one area that of this site that this seems to be an issue and it certainly my didn’t ruin our time there. We still had a great time and DJ really live this area

We 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
Guide
Looks 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.

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.

I stayed two nights and found the area to be perfect. It was not overly crowded, except for the area right off of the main road. If you go a little farther in on the trail you get a little more space. I full time in a class c and flat tow my Jeep and was able to get about half a mile off the main road for my own slice of heaven.
There are lots of flat areas for easy setup, but there are also quite a few areas that would be challenging to level. Depending on your rig you may want to walk the area first.
There was a little bit of highway noise, but nothing major. Town is about 10 minutes south, and interstate 40 is about 10 minutes north.

Ended up staying in the overflow dry camping area for 2 nights. Was nice area. Little noisy but was ok. Worked out for me.

Lake 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.

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

I just followed the GPS / Google Maps coordinates to go to the Craggy Wash dispersed camping area south of Lake Havasu City (was actually in Lake Havasu City when I searched for nearby dispersed camping sites via The Dyrt ...). Copied the coordinates provided on The Dyrt webpage, turned left off US 95 South where directed (& it was the correct road on the live map), but there is a locked gate there with big sign: "Private Property Keep Out.". So.....since it was only 4:10 pm PST (Dec. 28, 2024), I travelled on to Hi Jolly just above Quartzsite. I did leave the Google Maps app active as I turned back south on 95 just to see if the voice directions might provide an alternate entrance to Craggy Wash, but ....no.

We tried several times to see about getting a spot but no one was there to help us out so we quit trying
Scout
Nice 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.

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.

What a wonderful place to stay. Great pool. Quartile just down the road. Highly recommend! Will book a couple weeks again next October.
Traveler
We arrived late in the evening and found the perfect spot. Stayed only 1 night. But by the views were awesome.
Ranger
This is a really easy spot to get to. It’s just north of Quartzite but had a much better vibe and quality of camper. Great sunsets We went on thanksgiving weekend and we had no problem finding a spot. Still pretty crowded but we were a decent distance from other campers. Quiet at night.
Traveler
This is a great dispersed camping spot as it’s pretty far from the freeway so you can barely hear the big trucks going by on Hwy 10. Slept like a rock.
TravelerThis is a small park, but the stay has been great. It’s quiet, the staff is super friendly and I had the best shower here that I’ve had at any campground I’ve been to during my 7 weeks on the road.
Traveler
Stayed the week before Thanksgiving/ mild weather. Mid week so not crowded. Reserved ahead in campground near next to the river. There are day use picnic spots between the campsites and the river which was unique. Since there was only one other camper in that section and and day users it was no problem. On a crowded weekend it could get weird. The views of the river and the mountains in the distance were so nice. Staff was super friendly on the way in. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Campsite parking is on grass. Watch out for the little stumps/poles separating campsites. They blend in with the grass at certain times. Nice variety of birds. Only stayed one night, but good time.
Traveler
Beautiful lake view and awesome sky at night! Only drawback are the UHVs flying around stirring up dust and taking away from the peace and quiet that should come with off grid camping in a federal wilderness area. Can’t fly a six inch drone because might disturb someone but you can fly around in a loud UHV! They are ruining the experience. They need a remote spot well away from camping sites and hiking areas.
Traveler
Called and Lady said dump station only open from 8-4 and price is now 15 instead if 10. Did not stay just passing through area and not enough time to actually use dump station.
GuidePlamosa Rd blm camping is such a great spot. The camphost is amazing and it’s a wide open area with many spots It’s quiet and dark at night. Perfect for camping/boondocking

Crystal Hill-Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.
Free remote dispersed camping. South of Quartzite along hwy 95.
NEVERMIND the BLM no camping sign at the hwy turnoff, go 3.1 mi to Kofa Refuge boundary and then to the 5.7 mi point and you reach Crystal Hill. There is a loop with about several back in remote style campsites. No signs, no toilets, no water, no trash, no tables, no fire rings. However cell seems good. 14d camping limit. The road in is washboard rocky gravel. Also more camping spots between the Kofa boundary and Crystal Hill.
Important note! The turnoff from hwy 95 is between mp 96 and mp 95. As of Nov 2024 there is a significant dip leaving the hwy that may be problematic for trailers or long RVs, causing you to drag the rear end or hitch... Recon first..
