You Need To Know This About Quartzsite Arizona | Full Time RV Life

[@GotOut]

Quartzsite Arizona has become an insanely popular place for those living in an RV or Van. There really is a lot to learn about the long-term camping and I hope that my thoughts and experiences will help you if you attempt to make the journey to Quartzsite yourself. I did a video about the proposed Quartzsite LTVA price hikes: kzbin.info9e_om_4XNIs?si=15zKkM3MygDBvkp0 If you enjoyed this video today, please consider supporting the channel by joining our Patreon: patreon.com/GotOut checking out all of the products we use from our Amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/gotout or simply hitting the like button, subscribing, or sharing this video with someone else.

I would stay in the kind of area you filmed this video in. Peace, quiet n beautiful.

I spent 2 winters in Parhump thinking that was better; it's not. A couple nights I woke up to gunfire nearby; there were countless OHV's and trucks going by each day and dust being blown my way as a result. I understand what you're saying, and it's crazy in the Q for sure, but the crazies in Nevada are a bit more psycho, and as a result of the lack of people they think they can get away with more.

[@justifiedbyHisblood]

I made the trip down to quartzsite in 2022, paid for the full season and then after 3 weeks I headed back to Kingman. The town was far too crowded for me because I went there during the RV show.

[@GotOut]

It gets insanely busy! Lots of solitude still available in the desert though… 🌵🌲

[@benboruff]

It's already too crowded for me. Oh, well. It's an experience!

[@kennybyrd770]

Currently staying in the free 14 day area off of plamosa road. No where near the amount of people here like 2 yrs ago.

[@GotOut]

Funny some people say it’s packed Some say it’s empty!

[@Shadowbob9088]

I just left Plomosa this morning out at the north end. Been watching a pack of 4 coyotes working that area so beware if you have small pets.

[@kathyfann]

When I went I didn’t like the Accessibility to the Camping areas. My rig was new so I went to an affordable RV Park that was clean and had laundry facilities and a few other lovely conveniences

[@starsoulsandi]

Please tell me more 🙏🏼 heading there soon and learning as we go 😁 total noobs 😊

[@kathyfann]

I looked up on Google and I called them all and I went to the best deal and they have different deals different times of the year so that’s my best solution

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

Very interesting comprehensive video.

[@gailshaversjr1773]

Good video. Thanks for sharing the info. Will be heading to quartzite in the near future. You and the dogs be safe out there ✌🏻🇺🇸

[@GotOut]

Safe travels, Gail! 🌵🌲🐕🐕‍🦺

[@Boot76]

Good morning travelers

[@GotOut]

Mornin’ 🌵🌲🐕🐕‍🦺

[@debbiehersko6680]

Good morning! Cold here in eastern Washington 🥶

[@randomspirit]

Keep it coming! Love the info! I watch a LOT of nomad channels, you're the first one to mention that there's a separate area for dumping blue-boys (that I've seen, anyway, lol). Does the RV show usually have a lot of smaller trailers that can be towed by a mid-sized truck, or is it generally mostly large units? I've been toying with the idea of coming to Quartzite with just my truck, and then going to the RV show. (Winter hasn't even started yet and I'm already sick of the cold and snow, haha!)

[@sandy-quimsrus]

40 degrees Celsius or 104 fahrenheit today in my back garden. I'd love some snow (Australia and it's going to be a stinking hot summer).

[@GotOut]

Well most of the trailers they are selling there are brand new and very high priced. Mostly really big ones. They are fun to tour through though.

[@CharlesDogworth]

Well you finally made it to "the end of the line" aka Quartzsite

[@RiDankulous]

Nice video always relaxing to watch. Occasionally I mentioned the people I meet about the long-term visitor area. These people tend to be residence in the city, Tucson I’m surprised how many people do not know about the long-term visitor area. Are you going to see RTR festival? I know you’re not big on being around a lot of people, but you might be able to get to meet Bob Wells. I don’t have a van and also I’m traveling that weekend. I definitely would consider it in the future

[@GotOut]

I was thinking about the rtr

[@michaeladdington1447]

Thanks for your site!😊

[@BrendaBlystone-ur6fy]

Hey 👋 there GO it's amazing to see you Echo and Dagger 😀 it' always pretty where ever you go RV camping 🏕️ you all stay warm

[@GotOut]

Keeping warm for sure! Thanks, Brenda! 🌵🌲🐕🐕‍🦺

[@spaceprepper3657]

Always love the walks. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊.

[@BubbaStaines]

Phone a friend! Seek help! That dad joke was a sign you have lost it! XD

[@darqnomad]

I've done an in depth series of videos on my channel on the price increase and the situation in Quartzsite. Most people have decided they're going to camp in the free area after the price increases next year. I've used the water in the LTVA. It tastes like a copper penny even when filtered. The water in town is $1 for five gallons. You can dump your trash for free at the town transfer station. The $5million dollar Rv dump and water fill station is still not operational. The majority of vault toilets in the LTVA are vile and disgusting. Only the people ones close to the office are kept clean. You'd best bring Lysol wipes with you as well as your own toilet paper as they're frequently out. There are far too many people in Quartzsite during the season. The ATV's are particularly bothersome with the clouds of dust they stir up. I decided not to stay there this year and I've been much happier for it. Peace and solitude are a beautiful thing. Far enough to not have to deal with the insanity but close enough to pick up my mail and packages.

[@GotOut]

Very cool. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with all of us. Q is definitely not for everyone… 🌵🌲

[@carolmaplesden916]

When I was living in/out of my van i would do my business in my paint bucket and then take it to the toilets and dump it Never actually do your business in those places

[@kathyfann]

When I went I didn’t like the Accessibility to the Camping areas. My rig was new so I went to an affordable RV Park that was clean and had laundry and a few other lovely conveniences. Personally I don’t like the dirty sand in a wind storm and I know the wind does blow there and sand storms can do damage to a rig

[@GotOut]

Ha yeah I’ve forgotten what Life is like without sand dirt or dust! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@stevenanderson5272]

You've done well training echo

[@GotOut]

Hey thanks! He’s a good dog! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@stevesjeep3383]

Haha! Echo laying on his bed wasn’t giving tremendous excitement vibes🤣

[@GotOut]

Haha you noticed that too! Yeah he’s not a great performer on camera… 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@jonigeszvain3084]

😎. Looking forward to the next one

[@GotOut]

Wow! So glad to hear that! Thanks for hanging out with us! 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@philipwilliams7947]

In the LTVA’s, you can pick as crowded an area to camp as you want. You got thousands of acres to choose from. I’m new, so I have been sticking by the main road. It helps to be friendly to the people around you that you most likely will interact with during your stay. Nice girl near me wants to cook a Christmas meal for all campers in the immediate area. I told her I’m not going to discourage her from doing so lol.

[@GotOut]

Great advice here! 🌵🐕‍🦺

[@Shadowbob9088]

You are correct, on one either loves its or hates it. Ive been electric mountain biking out there and got to enjoy the same areas the atv operators get to see.

[@GotOut]

Oh great point! There’s even more to explore if you have good off-road transportation! 🌵🌲

[@lissand4617]

Like the thumbnail. 👍

[@PandaMoolin]

why don't you go around black canyon lake? where the fresh fish are.

[@CallaVentures]

The price increase also includes the other LTVA areas. They all need maintenance as well as more ranger presence due to the uptick in population. I don’t disagree with a price increase. But maybe not quite so extreme! Quartszite has become far too sketchy for my taste. I prefer the Imperial Dam area near Yuma.

[@GotOut]

I think everyone is ok with a moderate price increase if services and upkeep and security are increased.

[@Donkern621]

Yes Imperial Dam LTVA is much better experience for camping 😁 everything you need is right there 🤗

[@normansimonsen1203]

Boring is Good. Pizza is better.

[@sandy-quimsrus]

With cold beer!

[@JigsawPuzzleConnection]

Great info. TFS

[@kathyfann]

There is a family owned great restaurant there too.

[@starsoulsandi]

Oh we gotta talk 😄

[@kathyfann]

Times three restaurant near a gas station or maybe it’s loves I forget, but it’s very famous

[@kathyfann]

Delicious food homemade they even have pies that are delicious

[@buffit_8345]

Hey there. Just wanted to say that the new microphone is working really well. It’s really clear and seems to be blocking the wind noise as well! 👍🏽👍🏽😎

[@GotOut]

Oh I really appreciate that you said that. thanks for noticing! 🌵🌲

[@ogvanlife]

You should meet Anna in Quartsite.

[@starsoulsandi]

Hey GO, we're heading there too. Noobies so a bit nervous, gotta say thanks bc we've learned a lot from you ❤️ maybe we'll meet? We like it quiet and drama free 😁 how close is a grocery store for supplies? I heard stuff is very expensive on the Q town. You take care, give dodger and echo a scratch from us 💚 Bill and Sandi 💚

[@GotOut]

Howdy Bill and Sandy! It really makes me feel good to hear that you have learned from our videos. I’m not an expert, however, so don’t be surprised if Some of my advice or ideas turnout to be wacky. For rv gear, camping and tools go to D&B they have a big shop on the main street near the big yellow water tower/silo. They also have a big tent full of supplies in the show area at Tyson wash. Groceries, I recommend roadrunner for the best selection. Prices are higher indeed. Also Dollar General and Family Dollar. Also a new Dollar General Market store. Coyote grocery not as great of a selection. You must absolutely stop by the huge discount grocery tent in Tyson wash. That’s where I shopped the most, but no fresh stuff. Walmart in Parker 45 minutes away, or Albertsons and Safeway in Blythe, California, 30 minutes away.🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@johnmontalbano5769]

I have 2 pitbulls. One of them is a born guard dog. Anyone invading our space will leave missing an arm.

[@Junkyard_Dog]

And you will lose everything in court 😂

[@GotOut]

Don’t think it’s really common to have aggressive dogs at Quartzsite 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@joeyking2765]

That terrain has to be painful for a dog's feet.

[@GotOut]

My dogs let me know. I keep a close Eye on them. 🌵🌲🐕‍🦺🐕

[@cdlund2840]

I actually believe they are raising prices on the LTVA's so many people will not come. It's getting so popular (or necessary) to be a "nomad" that they probably would like to reduce the crowd. Although I don't know if you kick all those people into the two week areas how you are going to enforce the 25 mile move?

[@prissilou]

Will you be in Quartzite by Christmas?

[@gunner5125]

Do you ever use a metal detector? Might be fun!

[@GotOut]

No but I think you’ll like the next episode… 🌵🌲

[@Bumblingdesertdweller]

Just so you know, BLM or the forest service says 25 miles straight line as in GPS to GPS location on a map. That is the distance you have to move every 14 days. My father found out by driving 31 miles away, but it was only 19 miles in a straight line. Luckily, he was not ticketed, but scolded.

[@GotOut]

Great info.

[@mysurfing3550]

It seems kind of crazy they are that picky. It seems like the law would be so someone doesn't just set up a home on one spot and the area become a homeless camp or something. If someone packs it in and out and moves it seems it should be okay.

[@Bumblingdesertdweller]

@ too many people had abused the privilege. That’s why they had to put the laws in place. My dad said most of the Rangers were fairly nice. The new young ones are the ones you have to watch out for.

[@sandy-quimsrus]

Say hello to the campulance man if you see him ❤

[@GotOut]

I wonder if I’ll bump into him at the grocery or something…

[@carolmaplesden916]

So a person would still have to move every two weeks but if you payed for the 40$ two weeks pass went down the road towards Parker on that BLM land for two weeks came back and did the 40$ agen then to the other BLM land down past RV lifestyles and just continued the same cycle for the whole 7 months would be 240$ and one BLM is about 8 miles in one direction from the ltva and the other is about the same 8 miles from the ltva It would be easy and only cost 240$

[@GotOut]

You’re thinking! 🌵🌲

[@Alleycatthegadite]

It’s looking very likely that the 7 month permit price is going to go up to $600.00 next year

[@GotOut]

Hope not. I did an hour long video About this topic. Lots of chatter in that video. 🌵🌲

[@Alleycatthegadite]

@@GotOutif they do, this will be my last year here.

[@debbiehersko6680]

If the raise it that high it will get a little empty.

[@shannonagain3]

It'll turn into a wealthy RV park. Sad. Looks like the free sites are going to be more n more less available.

[@bobmartens1089]

It would be a bad move as folks would fill up the free blm spots and leave garbage everywhere

[@lynnay2168]

I hear they decided on $300.

[@GotOut]

That would probably be fair.

[@waynesmith2577]

Have you seen people with pop up campers in Quartzsite?

[@GotOut]

A few but not very common it seems. Very few tents as well.
