Any POG members in the Quartzsite area? Just arrived and curious if any other POG members are here. Any particular camp site areas one should check out that seem to attract the larger campers. There's got to be over a million people out here this weekend!

Craig, one of our POG members " Gary Swaim" and I think a POG Sponsor is out in Quartsite now. I just spoke with Gary last week and he had just gotten there. Very busy working the crowds.

If you meet up with him, tell him I said hello.

Curtis, where do you park at Quartsite? Are there R V spaces available ? I think I'm going thru there the end of the week and thought about stopping and checking it out.

The amazing thing about Quartzite is you can park at one of several RV Parks with Hook-ups or Park on the southern side of the freeway on Federal Land with no hook ups but for very little money. The last time I checked its was $16.00 for a permit from the Ranger. The guy who knows more about this is Ken Zitter.

Quartzsite is a amazing little town in January February. Hookup camp sites are available in town but at a premium this time of year however you can dry camp in the desert with access to water and sewer dump for $40 for two weeks. Ive left Quartzsite now however had four great days there. If you are in the area you definetly want to check it out.

I am heading to Quartzsite tomorrow morning if any Bus Nuts are in town. I will be camping with the Wanderlodge folks at La Posa South.

I am curious. For years I've read about this place and was excited about finally getting through there. Last year as I drove through Quartzite on the Interstate it looked like a shantytown. Never even got off drove right on by. I bet I'm not the only one who has had this reaction.

Now I assume the town itself is not the draw but rather the cheep boondocking?

Correct, the cheap boondocking is the main draw.
Here's a bunch of info for those that are not familiar with the place.

I bet more than a few people r both curious and reluctant to pull off into the desert. In my beater absolutely but is it ok for a 54,000 lb bus? Post some decent photographs.

Thanks Joe. Would u venture out there with yours?

Joe C,
I definitely would go out there, just being careful where I go. Lots of big coaches go out there.
But I'm restricted from going, my wife abhors the idea of such a place. Thus we don't go. :)

I just arrived home from the Wanderlodge Rally, what a great time we had. The BlueBird group was absolutely amazing, potlucks, campfires, and Lots, I mean Lots of Bus Tech talking. Great time, can't wait for next year. The Big Tent was fun, and Got Pizza at Silly Al's. Would Highly recommend.

Wonderful, Scottsdale is a nice place. a bit hot for me about 6 weeks in the summer, but other than that it's tough to beat the Arizona climate.

I hear you, ready to head north, just waiting on a couple of item from Amazon to be delivered before I head out of town...

Fred, it is up in your neck of the woods. It is mostly vans and Skoolies, but they are going to have a good Bus turnout this year.

Weather in Quartzsite is going to be perfect for Desert Camping if anyone wants to meet up.
