Away from everything

It is an easy thirty or forty minutes to a gas station so fill up when you see the Circle K and Chevron next to each other if coming from Yuma.  If coming from the north Quartzsite is probably your last chance for gas.  It is in the middle of nothing and nowhere, a little oasis with little to no cellphone signal.  The roads are currently undergoing heavy upgrading so be ready for long travel times and keep an eye out for the wildlife at night.  It was easily over 100F so the water feels nice.  They are currently waiting on their own motorized equipment but until it is ready you can still rent paddle boards and the like to go on the water.

As noted in other reviews the sites are water and electric only with no dumpsite.  The sites are almost on top of one another as well.  We had enough room to use our picnic table between our camper and the slide out of the fifth wheel next to us.  The camper on our other side was in a similar situation.  The sites back right up to the water.  If you are looking to lose yourself for a few days, this is the place.  The store packs the basics to include ice.
