Some people believe that BLM Land is owned by the government. Wrong, BLM land is public (taxpayers land) that is administered by the government. The same is true with the U S Forest Service land and national parks land. The citizens of America are the land owners.

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate you watching. Cheers!

[@captseamus]

Unfortunately the Government thinks it owns everything in the US except its national DEBT it creates.

[@ThomasCarrels-to5xe]

That's basic civics; how is it that is news to you? I want public resources scientifically managed and protected by federal agencies. Profiteering corporations and individual greediness are a threat to these shared resources.

[@susiepittman601]

You are playing word games. Citizens own the government. We are the government. So, the government ( all of us) owns BLM land.

[@dennisb.1996]

Thanks captian obvious!!!

[@amberbeaty7353]

Great information. I especially liked the details about the flag being up to know check in was open. I love little details like that.

[@debijo5288]

Me too. I don't think I saw any. But there was some wind blowing days.

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much. We're always happy to hear that we helped in some small way. Thank you for watching! We hope you'll stay with us 😁

[@peacedove9513]

QUARTSITE is the Best RV Community..since the 1970s..

[@tinaandcory]

Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@leoshanks7299]

Boon docking is wild living. Have fun

[@tinaandcory]

We had such a good time. It's definitely different from what we're used to, but that makes it more fun! Hope you keep watching our journey. Thanks for watching

[@nhbomar]

Thanks very much - I have never been there so videos like yours are very helpful for advance planning.

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much for the great comment! We appreciate you watching 🙏

[@rosaglem1905]

Seems I was there during your stay, I camped in LaPosa south, met the most wonderful folks. I left just a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to return later in the year during fall.

[@tinaandcory]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. It's on our list of places to get back to. Hopefully next winter. Thanks for watching i🙏

[@joyphillips3069]

This is my 2nd winter and I love ❤️ it

[@tinaandcory]

We hope to make it back next winter. Thanks for watching!!!

[@tedmartinez5394]

well done guys.

[@tinaandcory]

Thank you so much!! Cheers!

[@BuckJones1909]

We’ve watched so many videos about Quartzite that we were hesitant to watch another, but we really learned some new information from your video! Thank you!

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much! We're so happy you found our channel and hope you'll stay with us!! Safe travels!!!

[@sanrafaelhoa1363]

How does one know which way to park? I assume head to wind, and not broadside.... i guess observing others as you drive in...

[@tinaandcory]

Best to check the wind forecast when you arrive and park headed into the wind.

[@JoeT.1960]

I have not been there but I have lived in bullhead AZ. Back in the 80s 👍👍

[@tinaandcory]

We wish we had a bit more time there. Thanks for watching!

[@t.a.bernhardt7285]

Very helpful and informative.

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much!

[@user-ws1gg1zd3z]

Really nice show .... Lets see the tent areas and small stores up close......because you guys give a great tour!

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much for such a nice comment! Unfortunately we've moved on to Texas but when we get back to Quartzsite we'll be sure to show more of the shops. Cheers!

[@user-ws1gg1zd3z]

@@tinaandcory ok .......

[@debijo5288]

We Love Quartzsite We camped North 3 mile from Quartzsite. It was awesome we met people from all over this World. Than we went into Phoenix BLM north of town. You watch the BIG BALLOONS HOT AIR BALLOONS they come right beside you. Its crazy. Beautiful Balloons.. You can hear someone driving around witch made me uneasy. But over all I love to watch people. So many different human beans. Oh Hi Jolly is the name of.

[@tinaandcory]

Everyone we met was great. We hope to spend more time there next time we visit. We have so much left to see. Thanks for watching! We hope you'll keep following along!

[@rosaglem1905]

Me too.🙂

[@tommysimmons5266]

Where your at has 3 towers, one in town and one on the west mountain and one on the east mountain. Next time check out Main Street trading post/outback pizza. I used to live there for 2 years

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks for the recommendation! We'll try it out. Thanks for watching

[@jakeanderson9353]

What a neat location!

[@tinaandcory]

We hope we can get back there next year!

[@ameliaraymond9672]

If you don't mind being forced indoors when you want to sit out and watch the sunset because people run unenclosed noisy generators, this place is the perfect setting.

[@tinaandcory]

Sorry that was your experience. We didn't have any neighbors close enough to hear generators. It was THE quietest place we've been. Thanks for watching!

[@xstanadu]

Glad you enjoyed the Q 🌵😀

[@tinaandcory]

We did. Thanks for watching!

[@lynnedolan7905]

Thank you. Appreciate you recommendations. Love the desert, so it might be a good fit.

[@tinaandcory]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@karencorbett5950]

What about blyth califorina what stores do they have???

[@tinaandcory]

Blythe has some shopping, a couple of markets, dollar stores and places to eat. Still no bigger chain stores but there is some stuff there. Thanks for watching

[@airstreamer]

This was very well done! We are considering going to the Quartzsite RV show next year. I appreciate your thorough review of desert camping, it was very helpful in understanding the set up. Just found you, new subscriber. - Jim & Michelle / Airstreamer

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much!!! So happy you enjoyed the video. Cheers!

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

We’re also Canadians & plan to travel North America! Summers in Canada & Winters in the southern states starting this April. I’m conflicted about Quartize, we have a large dog who needs lots of walks & I worry about prickly things hurting his paws. But I also would like to experience it! Happy Travels & maybe our paths will cross.

[@tinaandcory]

If you stay on the paths and away from the brush areas you should be fine in Quartzsite. We had no issues with our dog and lots of people have their pets with them. Safe travels. Enjoy your journey and thank you for watching!!!

[@russellthemuscle60plus11]

Did you have a UFO sighting? 👽

[@tinaandcory]

Sadly no lol. That would have made a great video!

[@user-ws1gg1zd3z]

UFO.....UFO.....

[@petitchenil]

Thanks for the review, did not know about the winds, it’s off our list. My wife kinda likes the desert scenery but we both hate the wind. Was thinking about a week stay on the way to Phoenix.

[@tinaandcory]

The wind can be an issue. The nice days are beautiful though. Thanks so much for watching!

[@tomgerth5224]

great information, we are thinking about Quartzite next winter. Curious... you said if you had more time, you'd stay another week... were there specific things you would want to do or see while there... or in the area?

[@tinaandcory]

For us, we really enjoyed the quiet and open space after spending so much time in large RV resorts. We like to do a mix of stays and we would have liked more time to just relax for a bit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Some of the tent shops weren't open yet either when we were there and the annual RV show is on our to do list. Hopefully you enjoy it if you decide to give it a try. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😁

[@lakelivingb8409]

Newbie here. Thanks on info for sure. I on the fence about going to QT.

[@tinaandcory]

It's not for everyone. We love the desert landscape but some find it too boring. We enjoyed it because of the quiet and space and found it relaxing. We wouldn't spend a whole winter there but would like to go back for a few weeks. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Enjoy your travels!

[@JOHNNYJAMES-lk1yh]

Panning on visiting there this winter, couldn't tell by your video. Was wondering what direction you headed your RV in for the winds ?

[@tinaandcory]

I believe the wind was coming out of the north west, but from what we understand the winds can change there, so it's always best to check the forecast when you arrive. We didn't and got lucky to meet a couple of neighbors that gave us some great advice. Enjoy your time there!

[@judyanderson4206]

Hi guys ❤

[@tinaandcory]

Hello! Thanks for watching!

[@KorumEmrys]

Enjoyed!! Well Done!! Any issues with critters? Spiders, Scorpions, Snakes, Mice? Thanks!! Have A Great Trip To Texas Too!!

[@tinaandcory]

We didn't experience any issues. I think it was a little too cool for the snakes and scorpions, thank god!!! We did hear coyotes in the distance, so I'd be wary of leaving pets unattended. Thanks so much for your comment, it's greatly appreciated. Safe travels!!!

[@pamperry2473]

My 79 yo mom just returned in her van from QZ. She had a great experience but dusty :)

[@tinaandcory]

Definitely can get dusty​@@pamperry2473

[@wadelong1761]

Love your video on Quartzsite Question in mind is solar or generator at the time? Wife and I have been thinking about doing are next trip there this year your information is a plus.

[@tinaandcory]

Thanks so much! We use a generator to recharge the battery. We don't have solar. Enjoy your travels!

[@wadelong1761]

@@tinaandcory Thank you

[@jimk1050]

Well done video, I shared it on FB. One suggestion is to consider a modest 400 watt solar system to keep the batteries charged, since running a generator for hours charging batteries can be very annoying to neighbors. Someone told me years ago you can save a lot of money on solar if you're willing to run the generator for those high current appliances like your microwave and hair dryer. Our rig came with a stock 1000 watt inverter for the TVs that I plug extension cords into for my CPAP, computer and a desk lamp. Upgraded to 2 - 100 AH lithium batteries a year ago and have never run out of power for the furnace motor, inverter, etc.

[@cindymswyo]

Thanks, have you done any camping around Parker? LHC is way too expensive

[@tinaandcory]

We haven't been to Parker. Maybe next year 🤔 Thanks for watching!

[@Believe30]

Do you have the name of the store that sells the rv stuff?

[@tinaandcory]

Sorry, we don't recall the names, but there are a few to choose from.

[@norvin3186]

Are vans excepted?

[@tinaandcory]

There is everything from tents to big class A RV's and everything in between

[@dennisconrad6124]

I’m sure my opinion is going to make a lot of people mad but I don’t care. I’ve seen many videos on Quartzsite with lots of drone footage flying over the area. What do I see? I whole bunch of anti-sociable people. Parked as far away from everybody else as they can get, then they sit outside by themselves and stare at dirt and pretend their camping and having fun. Quartzsite itself is a hole in the wall and nothing more then a big garage sale.

[@tinaandcory]

Nobody should be mad...to each his own. It's not for everyone for sure but we enjoyed it quite a bit. We met several friendly outgoing people there and having some space to yourself for a while was nice. Thanks so much for watching!

[@frankmcmahon5820]

No Ocean lake or river not for me

[@tinaandcory]

We like those things as well, but we also appreciate the unique landscape of the desert too. If you're looking for water check out our Destin, Banff, cross Canada videos...it might be more of your thing. Thanks so much for watching!
