Those small tents you saw while driving thru the camp areas, those are site holders. It means the site is in use. Not all camper people have an extra vehicle or motorcycle attached to their rigs, and when they need to make a quick run for supplies the tent holds their site for them. Although, there are camper people who still use tents on a regular basis and does not mean there is nobody at the site at the time!
Great tour of the camp areas! I really appreciate how you were respectful of both the people out camping and locals in the area. I can imagine that as much as the locals appreciate the revenue from tourists, it has to take a toll on their privacy and sense of peace.
😂👍 Gracias for the ride along tour and aerial views of the (Hwy 10 & I 95) area BLM camping areas and public parks. I can’t wait to get out there 🏕🚐💃✨ w/ this video 😂 I’ll have ideas on where to go and I won’t get lost in that vicinity 👀😂
We have been camping out there numerous winters also but mostly way out in the mountains where there was nobody else. But we have an All Terrain Warrior 4x4 camper made by Sportsmobile and we can get to places most people can't. Thanks for taking us back Seabee! We've camped in Wyoming past few winters on our property. Subbed & liked.
Hi MMOverlandAdventures. Thanks you for the sub! I appreciate the support. Sounds like you're set up nice. Wyoming in winter sounds cold though🙂 Thanks for sharing and have a good day!
Awesome! I'm an old time Quartzsite winter camper from Phoenix. I took a day trip today (11/09/2024) to check out my old campsite I'll soon be visiting here and there during the winter season (Scadden Wash Area). Question: Who has better meats; Roadrunner or Coyote, or somewhere else? I always shop in Phoenix and bring food with me to camp, but, if I can support local businesses, I'll start shopping Quartzsite for my grillin & chillin dinners. Filets/pork chops/chicken thighs, preferably. And, how's the Mexican food choices in town? Who has the best chorizo breakfast burritos and the best carne asada lunch burritos? I might be back next weekend for a weekend camping trip, so, thank you in advance with any recommendations. Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL
Hi Pete, Coyote fresh and the road runner each have their own butchers. The hamburger at coyote is good. As far as mexican choices I like the fish tacos at Taco Mio. There are also a couple of pretty good food truck options as well. I didn't make it to the Scadden wash campground, much to my chagrin. Hope that helps and have a great week!
@SeabeeTraveler Thank you, I'll go to Coyote for ground beef... I make pretty good burgers on the grill. And, I know where Taco Mio is and will give them a try for lunch.
Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing where you grew up. I grew up in a small town called SilverBell .About 30 miles from Marana. Sadly it is mostly a ghost town now. The mine is still there but nothing else..I was wondering have you ever been to Havasu falls? It looks so beautiful.
Where do your parents and siblings live now? We have never been to the Quartzsite area yet. After watching this. We will do a day trip from Kingman. Thank you
Just a heads up I was camped next to a person last year who liked playing with his drone in the ltva, quite a bit. He got a warning from a ranger that drones and aircraft are not allowed on the ltva property. He continued anyway and got caught and had his permit revoked for the year. Just thought you should know. Yeah I know, people do it all the time. Just be aware it's technically against the rules.
Hi Teresa, These dispersed sites don't have any amenities. The LTVAs around town have public restrooms, sewer dumps and access to water. Just not at the individual sites. They are pretty much off grid campsites. I'll be putting another video about the Long Term Visitor Areas soon. Hope that helps and have a great day!
Thank you great tour. I’ve never been to Q before. Planning on coming down this year. How much does it cost for 14 days, and where would you pay for your permit? Sorry new to this
Hi Marion, If you are only staying for 14 days you can stay at the dispersed camping areas for free. If you want to stay at the LTVAs 14 days is $40. There are hosts at the main entrances where you can pay. You can pay online as well. Hope that helps and have a good day.
I do not like to cook. I wish quartzite had more fast food like Havasu and a big groc store to get easier food to fix. I am tired of going to Havasu with all the rich and side by sides. I want a place in AZ where it is quieter and not all that dust and noise.
Hi mycocoaone, I know what you are saying... but, there are quite a few food trucks in town during the winter months that compete against the chain fast food places. Also there is a DG market that opened recently on the east end of town. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Hi Lisa, To get a State Trust permit in Arizona, you need to purchase a "Recreation Permit" from the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) online or in person at their office. Hope that helps and have a great day!
Hi WizardTom, much to my chagrin, I have no excuse for not getting out there. I hear it's nice and will be back in Quartzsite the near future. I'll make a point to get out there. Thank you for the question and have a wonderful day.
Hi Robert, Thank you for reminding me. The best locations for service are at La Posa North, or the Plamosa & Scaddan dispersed camping areas. Thanks again and have a great day!
Hi all, Check out my top 10 Quartzsite videos from the last 12 months:

Hi Pinksouthern-girl, Thank you for letting me know about that. I'll keep that in mind from now on. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Thank you Roseanna, Growing there I understand how Quartzsite lives in symbiosis with the winter visitors. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Yay,Love Quartzsite, great video. Thanks, Randy 👍
Thank you Lloyd, Have a good one!

Hi Benita, You're welcome! I'm glad you got some info you could use. Safe travels and have a great week!

Safe travels redfoot69!

Hello Jeannette, I haven't been to Havasu falls yet, but it definitely has my attention. Thanks for the tip and have a wonderful day!
@SeabeeTraveler Thank you! Yes if you go please do share it with us! I think you would like the hike too 😊
@@jeannettefreeman9023 Will do. Since it's on the reservation, I'll have to see what rules they have for videos. Thanks again!
Where do your parents and siblings live now? We have never been to the Quartzsite area yet. After watching this. We will do a day trip from Kingman. Thank you
Just a heads up

He continued anyway and got caught and had his permit revoked for the year.
Just thought you should know.
Yeah I know, people do it all the time.
Just be aware it's technically against the rules.
Thanks for the heads up Reuben. I tried to stay away from any campers. Have a great day!
Do these spots have water, electric and sewer?
Hi Teresa, These dispersed sites don't have any amenities. The LTVAs around town have public restrooms, sewer dumps and access to water. Just not at the individual sites. They are pretty much off grid campsites. I'll be putting another video about the Long Term Visitor Areas soon. Hope that helps and have a great day!
Had a friend who owned main trading post and outback pizza that lived in community you live at

Reality is none are over 25 miles restrictions on 14 day stays , who really keeping track
Miscifmaker, I wonder about that too. There are ranger out there though. Have a good day!

Q has plenty of food choices
where do you get the state land permit and how much does it cost?
Hi Lisa, To get a State Trust permit in Arizona, you need to purchase a "Recreation Permit" from the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) online or in person at their office. Hope that helps and have a great day!
why did you skip Scaddan?
Hi WizardTom, much to my chagrin, I have no excuse for not getting out there. I hear it's nice and will be back in Quartzsite the near future. I'll make a point to get out there. Thank you for the question and have a wonderful day.
You just can't fly at rc park without registration (insurance).
VERY COOL..IS GRUBSTEAK STILL IN BUSINESS?
Hi desertraider, Unfortunately it's closed down for good. Which is a shame, because I never got to try it out. Have a great day!
All those vans are the rainbow people and those who travel and live in their vehicles
Ahh..... that make sense. Thanks for sharing and have a good one Tommy!
Like Az weather but not the dust.
You didn't mention how the cell service is at these campgrounds☎️📵
Hi Robert, Thank you for reminding me. The best locations for service are at La Posa North, or the Plamosa & Scaddan dispersed camping areas. Thanks again and have a great day!
What/who was that?!?! 🤣
Hi Steve, He's one of the many wonders of Quartzsite that make it unique.🙂 Have a good day!
I got to High Jolly on the 3rd and there was only 2 or 3 campers here. The last few days they have been steadily coming in.
Hi James, Thanks for sharing the update. I can't wait to get back there in the near future. Have a great day!
