We were camping in the Quartzsite area, & it got very hot, in the low 90s. We wanted a place with full hookups, & not right on the main street, nor right on I-10. This place was great. The managers were very friendly & helpful. Everything at our campsite worked perfectly. The campsites are large, with plenty of room for our 29' trailer, our LWB dually Ram, & our side by side.

The campsites are large, with plenty of room for our 29' trailer, our LWB dually Ram, & our side by side. Easy place to ride from to get to offroad trails. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area.

Great RV park. No thrills and frills, just nice, big, mostly level, clean, safe sites. Good, friendly management. Fair prices, located right by all the cool places in Quartzsite. Good cell service , no Wi-Fi. Daily garbage pickup. No public bathrooms, no laundry room, must be self contained. Highly recommend!

We stayed for four nights as part of a group of RV friends. The facility is clean, and well maintained. We were in attendance for “the big tent rv show”. We were greeted at the gate and escorted to our space. Smiles by all staff, well organized and efficient parking process. Spaces are huge! Garbage pickup was every morning without fail. Loved our stay and our group is eager to book next year!!! We stayed for four nights as part of a group of RV friends. The facility is clean, and well maintained.

We were planning on boondocking but the 90+ temperatures convinced us otherwise. These guys welcomed us with a very spacious site on very short notice. We got to play pickleball and shop at the vender market. The park is in process of of development, once completed it will be a very nice rv park!

Clean rv park. Be warned. There are NO amenities at this time. The work campers are very nice. The grounds are clean. I do think for no amenities the price could be lower. I am talking NO amenities. They have plans. Not sure how long the plans will take for them to be there though.
