Quartzsite Boondocking

Quartzsite has been called the Woodstock for RVers for good reason. Every winter thousands of RVers descend on this small community located on Interstate 10 in western Arizona to dry camp in the desert, shop the many vendors who set up shop here for the season, and visit with old friends they have met in their travels. Things come to a head in mid-January when the “Big Tent” goes up and a major RV show takes place. It is not unusual to have several hundred thousand RVers pass through Quartzsite during this period, causing long lines at the post office and the few local restaurants, and traffic jams in a town where a dog could sleep in the middle of the road undisturbed for much of the year.
