Quartzsite, AZ is a small little community of about 2,000, that is situated in southwestern Arizona, about 20 miles east of the Colorado River. It sits in a large desert valley, and is an oasis along I10, between Phoenix and Los Angeles. This is the time of year when tens of thousands of RV'ers migrate to Quartzsite for a conglomerate of flea markets, mineral and gem shows, and an RV show under one of the biggest tents I've ever seen.
The B.L.M. has designated thousands of acres of land around Quartzsite for RV camping, and that's exactly where the above photos were taken. We're parked next to our friends, Art, Linda, Randy & Emily, about a mile south of Quartzsite, in the BLM La Posa West area. The fee for 14 days is $40, and there is access to water, Dumpsters and a dump station. We've enjoyed the visit with our friends, and one short motorcycle ride in the desert, but we are leaving today for more dental work in Algodones, Mexico. I have an appointment tomorrow to finish what was started last week. We'll most likely park at the new Indian Casino which is west of Yuma, and only about a mile from the border crossing. When I was there last week, I noticed a large area full of RV's and trucks next to the casino. As I suspected, it's OK to park there for free, and that's where we are headed this morning. It's about 90 miles from Quartzsite to Yuma, and we'll be making the return trip when we're finished with dental and optical stuff in Algodones. Looking forward to parking with another group of friends here in Quartzsite, next week.
