Snowbirds from all over the US and Canada flock to this little haven, safe and far away from anything resembling winter.
There are many things happening in Quartzsite throughout the colder months, but the biggest draw is the opportunity to spend the winter in a more comfortable climate – without shelling out a big chunk of your life savings to do it.
Sure you can rent a spot in one of the many RV parks in town, and generally the prices are better than most other areas of the country.
During the summer, when temperatures frequently rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, Quartzsite, Arizona is a virtual ghost town. It's in winter that this city grows beyond all imagination as thousands of RVing snowbirds flock here. The city hosts an unending parade of rock, craft and travel shows from December through March. A Long Term Visitor Area (LVTA), free Bureau of Land management areas and commercial campgrounds offer camping options at all levels of comfort.
Commercial RV Parks
Quartzsite is home to numerous RV parks. The Quartzsite Chamber of Commerce website lists over 20 parks, some of which, such as the B-10, are in the middle of downtown. Others, such as the Tyson's Well seasonal RV park on Kuehn Road, are part of wider businesses, such as the Sellarama, Tyson's Well's flea market. Facilities in Quartzsite range from a patch of gravel with hookups to full-service trailer parks. It's possible to find parks that allow pets and parks that decline them, downtown camping and places off the beaten track, and weekly and monthly rates.
