Question

This question is for those of you in Quartzsite. We are thinking about spending next winter there. However, I have been watching the weather there and it has been in the freezing range at night. I thought RVers go there in the winter because it is warm! What am I missing? Why stay in freezing temps?

    Quartzsite becomes an entirely new place in February. Jewelry artists go there to buy gems, etc. http://www.ci.quartzsite.az.us/ may help you see more of what you need. It is called the boondocking capital.

    Doesn't freeze everynight plus you can boondock for free

    Are the recent freezing temps unusual?

    The weather is springlike. I lov going there. Lov nature meeting new people just bbq in the open desert is heavenly. Almost spiritual. Also, u can isolate yourself with no neighbors or be near people. I am in between. I tell my hubby that when we no longer are able to travel long distance we will stay there the whole 6 month for $180 not bad.

    I highly recommend the Tucson-Nogales area, if you are going to winter in Arizona. more liberal and relaxed than the rest of the state, with a nice little music scene.

    Mid January is the big tent for a week. After that we head to Senators Wash ( you must go through the Army Proving Grounds). It is another BLM land. Then we go to the road to Algadonis Mexico. About 1/4 mi. from the casino is a flat spot on the right that can hold about 25 rigs. It is warmer in the Yuma area. Algadonis is the next exit west from Yuma. If you can find at least one other couple to travel with it is more fun.

    I'm at Senator Wash for the winter season, Taree Schrubb. It's a great BLM with amenities. It is chilly and windy now but beautiful views, SUN and NO SNOW! Much prefer this area over Quartzsite!

    We were quite surprised by how cold it's been. We've been here in Quartzsite for a couple of months. Yep, we could have gone to Florida but good luck finding free or cheap camping. And the crowds in FL are crazy! I'll take a week or two of cold nights for the chance to be in an open, free place..:)

    Arizona is the desert and nights can get cold. Sleep then. Days, even after those cold nights are normally sunny and at least 60 degrees.

    Is Quartzsite safe place to camp?

    0

    Yes, Carletta Bradfield Mcclearen.
    Very safe. 99% retired people. 50% Canadians.
    This is my 4th winter here at Q. Never had a problem, or felt threatened.
    Very enjoyable! Lots to do!

    Thank you!! I live in Va and my husband and I are retired. Maybe we can visit soon. I just joined Quartzsite site. I hope to learn more about it.

    If you're living in the rig, temps can go below freezing without worrying about pipes. You'll be running your heater and if it's going to get really cold (single digits and stay below freezing days, which you won't see in Q), then it's a little trickier, but still doable.

    I stayed on state lands off of Oracle, Alida Garcia; between the Oracle and the Methodist church is a very cool stealth spot. many in area rent private RV pads too.

    Just stopped briefly in Quartzite on the way from Phoenix to Indio. I'm here from Texas going to a dog show. Was interested from all the talk of folks staying in Q. Rough looking crowd…
