- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- It's almost time for more than 1 million RVers to gather at Quartzsite, Arizona for the winter. We spent more than 3 months boondocking in the desert last year on BLM land and have a few tips to offer those that want to make the trek into the desert! We discuss the differences between Plamosa Road free area and La Posa South LTVA.

Can you imagine how great it would be if every state had LTVAs!
Don’t forget it’s cash only for the long term areas. We are out here enjoying the beautiful weather.
That's great info....thank you! Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Not cash only..they also excepts checks
thank you both for the great videos please keep well and stay safe
Thank you Peter. We sure do appreciate you coming along. Have a wonderful week and share the Christmas Spirit!
We just came upon your channel. Thank you so much for all this information. We are going down there next year. We can’t wait. 😍
Welcome to the community Kim! We're glad you found it helpful. We spent 3 months at the Q in 2020. Take a look at some of those videos as well. Have a great week!
I’m not even sure you both realize how much your followers actually appreciate your videos. Between you, JonesN2Travel, Watts on Wheels, Tipsy Marlin & others every single question I’ve been able to think of has been answered. We can hardly wait to join the full time HDT community! Safe travels! Stay warm! Hopefully your new DRV will be ready soonest!
Thank you so much Tod....we have some of the BEST subscribers EVER! Hopefully we can cross paths one of these days. We can't wait to get together with the "gang" in the desert and share some videos - soon! Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas!
Well explained about the Long Term season pass for BLM. Watched many explanations but this one fully explains how it can be used at all the sites in the two state area.
Thank you very much Carl. Thanks for coming along and we hope the information is useful to you. Happy New Year....stay safe.
ALL BLM should be pay to use. Also raise the pass fee to $200
@@jackiemueller205 Why? Don't we all pay enough in taxes? Have you ever calculated how much of your money is taken that way? And want to give them more?
@@byronlemay2166 yes! Cause it don't come here. Just like the people who think they support Quartzsite, you don't. Do you ever come here in summer? You should see the trashed campers left on in the desert. The garbage bags left at cross roads because snowflakes think someone comes and cleans up after them. You know who does that? We do! The people who live here and love our desert. Yes pay for the privilege of camping in the desert. Canadians and all non-residents should pay more, as federal lands are ...for the use of the American citizens...
@@jackiemueller205 My point is that more money given to them won't make it any cleaner...the trash left dumped and the wind blowing it around simply happen no matter where lots of people are. You have to decide if your town being a "tourist attraction" during the winter months or simply a dead truck stop off the interstate is more desirable. In that event the town would hardly exist and there would still be plenty of trash around...perhaps even worse. Pull over anywhere on the way to Phoenix and see all the garbage for yourself. If the BLM says "We don't pick up the trash because we don't have the money"...that's nonsense. And yes, I do support the town...by camping there and spending my money along Main Street for food and supplies. And I don't leave any trash, either. You want to punish everyone for the random, stupid acts of a few. You must be liberal, right? Try to realize that giving the government more money is not the answer...in most cases, at least.
Can't wait to see you guys out on the road. I'm 68 and new at this stuff. Lost my husband in Feb and we had decided we would sell everything and live this way on the road. I'm going to do it anyway. This is great information. Thanks much! .....Kathy from Sultan, WA
So sorry for your loss Kathy...enjoy your journey and be safe. Hope to see you on the road.
I had a great meetup on Plomosa road last year. A great turnout. My first actual scheduled meetup. I will have one this year Jan 21-24. Thanks for sharing this info for people coming to Quartzsite.
Thanks so much for this overflight.
New sub here . Nice video. I have always been scared to go out there not knowing the ropes. Thank you for giving some insight.
Thanks so much B! It can be intimidating but once you figure out the ropes it's a lot of fun. Hope you get a chance to enjoy the desert. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
We are actually considering Quartzsite for this winter. At least for a little while. We’ve heard some not so great things, like the grocery store is very small. We trust you guys though because you haven’t steered us wrong yet. Patrick is more unsure about it. I think it would be an adventure. Maybe we’ll see you there.
LOL....yes, stock up on groceries before you go! Hope to see you there. We'll probably be there for the week of the show in January.
@@SuiteTravels we’ll probably head that way from Montana in October
@@SuiteTravels we just got a winter job in Yuma!! Could you please refresh my memory on the name of the church that you attend there? Thanks 😊
@@kylemcfarlane107 We attend Champion Church while in Yuma.
@@SuiteTravels I’m writing it down. Thanks 😊
Thx for the info on Quartzite I have always wanted more knowledge on that and I hope you’re RV gets moving quickly for you also wanted y’all to know I really enjoy your channel thx
Thanks so much for the kind words.....that really means a lot to us. Glad you were able to get some information from it - we really appreciate you coming along. Merry Christmas and stay safe!
Today is 1/16/2023 I was watching your quartzite update video and you directed new people to come to this video, so here I am. What a nice video! I just started camping, last year. I'm a retired, single, female, with a Tab 400 teardrop. I've heard about Quartzite from watching "BoB" while being locked down during Covid.( I think everyone knows BoB, Right?) and I'm just interested in it. This video is great! I live in Michigan and would love to have a place to go in the winter, where it is warm. I'm subscribed and hit the bell notifications. So, I'm in! No questions, yet, just want to say thank you for helping me!
Welcome to the community Gail! So glad you were able to get some information that was helpful. Have a great week!
Great info on Quartzite. My wife and I are a few years from retirement and we are trying to soak up all the info on the RV freedom life we can. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the kind words Chris. Your work is just beginning! The time really just flew-by when we started to prepare. We appreciate you coming along and if there's anything we can produce to answer questions don't hesitate to ask. Stay safe and have a great new year!
Merry Christmas and I ihope your coach arrives on time. This Covid has realaly messed people up. Hope all goes well, happy trails.
Thanks Linda....Merry Christmas to you as well! Thanks for the kind words. We have some of the best subscribers and we really appreciate you coming along!
Great video as usual Folks. I'm sorry it's the wait for the new coach is dragging out. As You said, the Good Lord has His plan. I'm praying it happens soon. Miss You, GOD BLESS
Miss you too Allan. So happy you can celebrate the holidays with family. Stay warm and stay safe....hope to get together again soon.
Getting ready to head there soon for the first time. So grateful for this information. Thank you so much. 🌲❤🐶😻😽❤🌲
Glad it was useful Roux. It really is our happy place....hope you find the same. Happy New Year. Stay safe!
I'll be in Q soon! Excited! Helpful videos. Thanks!
I just found you two, this was very nicely done, and... I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. Yay! 🙉🐱😂🐸🐻🙋 🙋
Welcome Alice! Glad you found us - thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for this. We stopped by Plomosa Road area and camped (for just one night) with the only other HDT couple there. I loved it and Sue is warming up to it. We scooted back home for the holidays, but hope to get back down there by mid-January. See you then!
Thanks for the idea Marty! You were right....it's a little different and hopefully we were able to shed some light on the process. Glad you were able to stop and see what it was like. Hope to see you this spring. Merry Christmas to you guys....stay safe.
Appreciate the low down on Quartzite. Great info. Didn’t know how it worked finding places to stay.
Happy to help John! It's a great place - we appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend!
Thank you for explaining the terms that are floating around the RV and camping utube world. Now I understand what they are talking about.
So glad you found it useful Annette. Thanks for coming along and have a great week!
park place rv park 1250 annually 100 month only extra is electric. water n sewer hookups wifi great location lived there year round 2 yrs will return very nice management
I’ll be there in January for the 2 weeks of the show it’s sure going to be a different Quartzsite this time
Yes it will Steve....it will be interesting to see how much of an impact there is since our Canadian friends won't be there as well. Have a great time in the desert and stay safe. Merry Christmas!
Jimmy Yuma I'll be there I'm not a pussy
Thanks for the information on Quartzite. We’re planning on staying at the LTVA for a couple weeks. It’ll be our first time there.👍
Glad you enjoyed it Road Hog....as we said it's a love/hate relationship and hopefully you'll have a good experience. Thanks for coming along and have a Merry Christmas!
It’s cool to run across you Folks. I am a fellow Nomad. Been wanting to make my way out there. Just need to get ahead, have no emergency funds. But that’s always been the dream. I have been stuck between the city and the coast always having to move around and it’s just been miserable, well hopefully somehow times can change. Just craving that space and peace of mind but I know I’ll get there.
Hello, I am new to your channel first time watching you guys, thank you for filling us in on how LTVA we are in Alberta Canada and we were going to be spending the winter down their this year up you know why not their right now maybe boarders will open soon fingers crossed .Any way we to have a large rig for our 5th wheel and side by side and we used to be a long haul drivers so guess you can guess kind of rig we have lol everything we have heard of how the LTVA worked was not fully explained .We thought it was only for Quartzite so thank you for showing the other places that we can use the pass at .
Glad we could help Don. Hopefully the borders will open soon and you can come south and visit again. Stay safe and thanks for coming along.
Just found you on my feed. Liked and subscribed. I am doing a no-build build on my old SUV and I hope to be going full time this summer, Lord willing. Thank you for ALL the info. I'm going to marathon your videos. God bless your travels and hope to see you in Quartzsite in 2023.
Welcome to the community Maddyg! Sounds like you have a great plan....hope to cross paths with you.
Merry Christmas Y'all! Like you said, patience on the new rig. It will happen, enjoy every thankful moment!
Thanks Carolyn....if we don't know patience yet, we're learning! Thanks so much for the kind words. Have a Merry Christmas!
30 years ago it was an awesome event. Now it was mostly flee market style & rock show. This was our first trip back in 30 years. We had reservations in a wonderful campground and enjoyed our stay. Feb was jacket weather. There are several camping spots from Yuma to Kingman along the river.
Excellent video and very informational. Thank you!
Cheers,
Kevin
Thanks Kevin. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for this great explanation. I’m headed to that area in December. I’m a bit concerned about the number of people but you helped me get over that!!
That's awesome! Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
-11 HERE IN FAIRBANKS ALASKA! With the wind chillllll=-29😳 Come on up!🤣🤣🤣🤣 You guys have a wonderful Christmas! God BLESS!
Ohhhh 😯 we remember those days! We stayed at Chena Hot Springs one year for New Year's....it was COLD! We sure had a great time though. Thanks for coming along Ronald and have a great week. Stay warm!
Hi ..I love your videos I see all this beautiful rigs ..and here I come in my little silver van 😅 ...safe travels ☺
Thanks. This is the most info I have seen in one vid. Nice rig! First time I saw your channel; good.
I’m a newbie to quartzsite and i hope you guys make it!!
Oh we do too Douglas! Have fun with the experience....thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas!
God bless you both hope your house gets there soon. Thanks for the quartzite info.
Thank you Gary. Hope it was informative for you. We're certainly ready to get back on the road. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Best info on this subject I’ve found so far - thanks!
Thank you for the very detailed information on Quartzsite. Happy New Year to both of you!
Thanks so much Gail....happy new year to you. Let's make this an awesome new year!
I am there now in an RV park with shore power, sewer and fresh water. Restaurant and big laudromat at the park. I prefer it to covid infections at LaPosa South.
Very good video guys! Thank you for all this great information! Paul & Magen
Thanks P&M! So glad you liked it....really appreciate you coming along. Have a Merry Christmas!
Fingers crossed 🤞 (everything crossed) for you to get your new rig.🖤💙🖤
Thanks Bells....we're really trying to be patient!
I was there for first time same time you guys were there, I did LTVA, love this place.
That's awesome Bob! It's definitely our happy place...
Thank you for the info. Thinking about heading that way in January
You're very welcome Johnny! We appreciate you coming along and happy it was helpful. Hopefully you'll enjoy Quartzsite as much as we do. Have a safe trip and have a Merry Christmas!
I think you need a self contained unit to stay in most areas unless you’re within 500 ft of a bathroom. For instance, if you have a composting toilet.
I watch your whole video and this is the first time I've saw you but I'm a fan of long content
Thanks!
I use to go back and forth monthly from Albq to Okcity… Elk City is the coolest little city between!
The reason it's free to stay on BLM land is because it's public land. Not because there's no amenities.
Nothing says relaxing like the howl of generators
Merry Christmas you two! So sorry to hear you are delayed again!! Be Safe!! sending lots of Love and prayers....
Awwwe thanks you guys! We're really looking forward to getting together soon. Merry Christmas and stay safe!
Merry Christmas! Hope to see you guys in Quartzsite God Willing 😊
Oh we sure hope so Marsha. It's been an interesting journey, but we're certain it will be worth it. Have a Merry Christmas and hope to see you soon!
Remember etiquette ….if someone is parked already don’t hug up next to them. There is tons of space to land. If you see a group means they most likely hooked up prior. So go play and stay and start your own group of friends …. I love Quartzite. Oh not to forget Vans. Just subscribed the Lord is good. Just got my Van. Will miss AZ this year but Lord willing by next season.
just stay safe nothing is more important then your health . Great video good information.
Thanks Bob....good advice! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Have a great week.
We were in Parker last week and did some BLM scouting for our big rig off of Shea Road. We had a blast playing on our SxS.
Oh sure...rub it in 😂. We'll get there at some point!
@@SuiteTravels You will get there soon, I have faith and as you said you were meant to be where y’all are, Enjoy the Ride
We had wondered how this worked. We have not been there.... Yet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Lynn and Danny
You are very welcome Lynn & Danny. Glad you were able to get some information out of it. Have fun when you go....
Very informative video thank you very much. Last year I was there at Dome Rock, this year La posa South my first time being at LTVA with the next exit Meetup (God will'n). Thanks Don
That's great Don! Bob and Pearl are such awesome people....we hope their meetup goes well. If you get a chance say hello from us. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the Q!
Good info on Q and how/where to get permits. That is 1 place we want to go to when we full time. We will be staying this winter in Sun City but are thinking of driving over for the show and checking out the area and possibly spending the night in our truck. Hopefully you can make it out there. We would like to meet you guys and others that we follow.
Sounds like a great plan! Stay tuned to our Rvillage group as we'll continue to update our location and movement. Hopefully we'll be able to meetup while you're there. Have a great week and Merry Christmas!
Awesome vid!! Thx for all of the info! Blessings all! 💕
Glad you enjoyed it Cyn!
@@SuiteTravels ☺️
Expect $45+ per night at an RV park in January. Plus, most do charge for electric on top of that based on the kilowatt hours you consume.
Thanks Keeb.....good info. Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for coming along.
Just found your channel. Great video. Liked and shared. Used to live in Parker. Love the desert. Stay safe out there and be Blessed.
When you get to Quartzsite if it's too hot shoot up to Prescott via the Wickenburg route..... What a view up the backway to Prescott thru very tall pines the further north you go..... A Federal Forest Campground called White Spar Campground just about four miles south of the city w/paved roads, bathrooms, water stations....almost certain they have dump too (No Electric)...... then go hangout at the public Square in town. City Hall is in the center of it surrounded with all kinds of cool stores and super big old trees with tons of shade
Looks like New Orleans style bars on the west side of the Square and great Pizza on the East Side.....Great place to spend the day and about 30+ degrees cooler than Quartzsite
We live in the New River area
Thanks for the tips Joe! Always looking for new areas to explore.....have a great week and thanks for coming along!
Great explanation of the Q.
Thanks for the great info. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you Mike....glad you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful week and Merry Christmas to you!
Excellent information on Quartzite. Thanks for sharing. Travel safe.
Thanks Bob. We appreciate you coming along. Merry Christmas and stay safe!
This is where I plan to go next year, thanks for the info, new friend here
We are planning on coming to Quartzsite in January. We have never been in this town or boondock. So thanks for the video about Quartzsite
Thanks for this information and Merry Christmas to both of you
Thanks William....Merry Christmas to you as well! Have a wonderful week.
God bless y’all... stay positive, safe travels
Thanks so much Jim....we're really trying! We appreciate you coming along and hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Very informative explanation. I'm a newbie and this was very helpful.
Oh you're so welcome Julie. Glad it was helpful. Thanks for coming along and hope to see you in the desert!
Hope to be in Quartzsite in a year or two. Have a great Christmas and New Year.
Thanks Kevin....hope you're staying warm. Looking forward to crossing paths soon. Merry Christmas to you guys!
Luv your videos. I watch everyone of your videos that I can find. I live in Oklahoma City, I need to Elk City to see some friends. Would like to meet you guys.
Let us know Randy....we're here but have some side trips planned and we're helping some friends install solar on their rig. Best way is to send us an email from our website. Hope we can get together!
Great video and new sub! My wife and I are starting our full time travels this August and we'll see you in Quartzsite in 2022! God's blessings to you.
That's awesome...congratulations! Hope to meet up.
Great info guys! Thanks Great info guys! Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you all are meeting with other RUclipsrs this year. Would like to at least stop that and say hey
Good video. Bummer on waiting for the DRV and getting to Quartzsite
Thanks guys. We'll get there....eventually! See you soon.
Very informative done good
Thanks Nancy. Happy new year!
My 2 cents worth from boondocking throughout the dessert west, do not drive your vehicle anywhere near the resemblance of a fire pit at one time. More importantly PLEASE do not bring out pallets to burn in a fire pit. It might be great free firewood but the nails left behind can destroy a campout for anyone unknowingly running over what may have at one time been a fire pit. 1 pallet is loaded with nails that sit in the dessert long after the fire pit is gone. Thanks for the video...
Very informative video!
Glad you enjoyed it guys!
There's more to Quartzsite than Quartzsite. I discovered that when I got riding my e-bike out on the BLM lands from some of the free campsites. We also rode out to the Hi Jolly monument & learned the story about camels with the U.S. army. They were better than horses, but got dumped anyhow. I made a video of our experiences at the Q. Search You Tube under my name & the word Quartzsite. Happy trails.
Great Video Guys. Can't wait for the new Fifth Wheel Toy Hauler!
Thanks....we're sitting on pins and needles ourselves! We're so ready to throw COVID out the window and move on with our lives 😉. Thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas!
@@SuiteTravels Yes COVID has been a pain this year. We too want to enjoy living again.
You can still go! Many camp in vans or even 🚘 cars!
Merry Christmas have a safe one. Hugs from Sapulpa Oklahoma
Merry Christmas Gwen! Thanks for the kind words....hope you're staying warm!
Appreciate your detailed video
thank you so much for the information. i'm going to be a new traveler.
That's awesome Christina. Good luck in your travels and maybe we'll see you on the road!
Would be nice to be able to dig a pit for a generator if it's portable. Cover the pit.. Gravel and a pallet in under it. Then it's quiet.
Here's hoping the new year brings better news for us all and things fall into place for you! Hoping to see ya in the Q!
We can't wait guys! We're determined to make this year one of the best. Happy new year and hope to see you soon!
Hopefully things work out. We are looking forward to seeing you and checking out the new toy hauler. We'll be there through the 23 at least.
We hope so too Chad. It's been a long process and we're ready to move on and put this COVID thing behind us. We'll stay in touch.
Thanks. Just subscribed
Welcome to the community Steve!
Hello friends, thank you for sharing, ?? What about restrooms and showers at the long term site, thanks again!
There are pit toilets scattered around the area, but no showers.
Ah I feel bad for you Jim and Kelly!
I was so hoping to see your new rig soon. But everything happens for a reason. It’s in Gods plans. It will happen for you to get the rig it will come. But boy this covid really takes a toll on you though. Sad you won’t be there with Tina and Aaron. But it will all work out. I will pray for you both as I always try to do. You both stay well and I hope you can put out another video before Christmas next week. If not hope you have a Merry Christmas. See you soon. Love you both.
Thanks so much Sherri. Yes we're disappointed, but we're trying to have a positive attitude with it all. We've met some really nice people here in Oklahoma but miss our friends too. We'll make it to Quartzsite eventually....just not sure when. Have a Merry Christmas and go out and spread some cheer! Hope to get together soon....without masks!
Thank you for all the information on Quar
You're very welcome! So happy you enjoyed it....thanks for coming along!
I was down there this year. Seem like so many people were so fearful of the covid that I left. Hopefully next year will be back to normal
We're hoping so too Jerry....happy new year!
Great video. In planning phase for full-time and this was a very informative video. Very much appreciated.
BTW: How is the Internet at Quartzsite? I can see myself working out of there for several months a year.
Last January we camped across the road from a group of big rigs. Very cool. Every evening at 5:45 they blew their horns in celebrating another day. Wonder if you guys were there.
Normally we would have been there Angel. Those were good friends of ours - but we missed last year. It's such a good time!
@@SuiteTravels maybe we'll see you in 2022.
Awesome information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful. Hope you get a chance to visit. Have a great week and thanks for coming along!
Grand Design holds their rally at Roadrunner in early January. However due to Covid they changed it to a get together at the end of February. We are missing Q and the meetups this winter. I mean we are really missing it! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks for the update guys. We can't even imagine missing the Q and all our friends. Hope all is well with you and you're staying safe. Merry Christmas to you guys and hope to get together again soon!
No sand LOL lots of rocks, it is the washes you might have to look out for go up and down them. I am heading to the Q on the 23rd- 4th I will be in the LVTA south. I miss you guys so if you are up there my camp fire is open and pull up a chair. Marry marry Christmas and happy new year. Mass love Drew
Thanks Drew....it sure was a special place for us last year. We'll definitely get together if we can make it while you're there. Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
Regarding purchasing LTVA permits from BLM rangers, what types of payments are accepted?
Do they take ca$h, personal checks, and credit cards?
Thanks. Great video and thank you for making this!
😎
Thanks Jay. We purchased our pass at the BLM office in Yuma which will take all types of payments. We've been told, but can't verify, that the welcome center accepts cash or check only. The BLM website isn't very specific regarding payment types. You can also purchase your permit online here: www.recreation.gov/sitepass/eb34b293-bd2b-4120-b6fa-c18be8184a67
Nice editing
Thanks Keenan!
like your St James shield😀 OLT
Thanks for the info, had heard Quartzsite could be a little "clicky", and not what it's cracked up to be. You paint a different picture. Might have to put it on my list once I hit the road next year. Guess it was just another persons bad experience.
It's just like "real life" and we're sure there could be "clicky" groups....but you don't have to hang out with them 😉. We hang out with mutual or new found friends and have a wonderful time. It's sort of like a RV park...if you go for a walk and say hello to folks they will usually respond kindly and walah - you've met some nice people! There are sure to be all kinds in a million campers. Hopefully you'll get a chance to experience it and enjoy it as we do. Thanks for coming along and have a Merry Christmas!
Don't bother, the RV show is a joke and lots of people don't want you there. Unless your in a 100,000 unit.
