    Quartzite - La Posa

    La Posa South

    Way 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.

    Better than the paid LTVA

    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.

    Great spot for larger rigs

    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.

    Erenberg Dispersed Camping - quiet and serene

    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.

    Good Experience

    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.

    Kofa National Wildlife Refuge - Crystal Hill Free Campsites

    Crystal hill rock hounding

    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..

    Good one night stop

    This an excellent place for a stopover especially if you are heading south through the algodones border crossing. Although you can hear traffic it’s not intrusive. 5 minutes east of the 95 just north of the border patrol check point. It’s dispersed camping, flat, no shade. It has nice views of the surrounding mountains. The one thing to be on the lookout for is the tiny red cactus that is abundant.

    Great stop - Nice location on the river

    Stopped here for one night as we were passing through. The staff we met were MJ and Carrie, very nice and friendly who wanted to make sure we were taken care of. The sites were long enough to not unhitch and the utilities were placed well. It was a short walk to the river where we spent some time. Departed the next day.

    A brand new desert oasis!*

    Huge resort with spacious spots and full hook up’s. Mostly flat with paved roads everywhere you will take your rv/camper on your visit. Close and easy access to Colorado River for swimming, boating, seadoos and off-leash dog walking/playing. Exceptional clubhouse with a gym and enough room to stretch out, remote work, or to catch a game with fam and friends on their big flat screen tv. Firepit and golf cart rentals plus smores kits and doggie bags with a bandana, dog toy and treats are also available. Super pet and kid friendly with play systems and a 2000sqft dog park. The store could use more ‘store’ items but there is a family dollar directly across the street.

    They also have tiny homes for rent and I think the longest rv spot is almost 72-80’ long.

    Clean bathhouse and laundry facilities. Free WiFi. So much to mention and I know I’m missing something but I hope i helped.

    Don’t forget to ask Lou if you can purchase the wakeboard in the office. And tell them you heard about the first flight discount for 20% off.

    *The resort is really big. About a half mile long or more. If you have trouble doing long walks or walking in general then renting a golf cart is highly recommended.
