We stayed about 10 days at KOFA on the King Road entrance in February 2021. It's big rig friendly if you scout with your toad in advance. There are some tight spots you could get yourself into by mistake if you don't scout. Mostly spots for 1 rig, but some larger areas that could accommodate a group of RVs.

We stayed about 10 days at KOFA on the King Road entrance in February 2021. It's big rig friendly if you scout with your toad in advance. There are some tight spots you could get yourself into by mistake if you don't scout. Mostly spots for 1 rig, but some larger areas that could accommodate a group of RVs.
We hiked out to the Horse Tanks right from our campsite and it was a beautiful hike (about 6 miles RT).
Excellent wifi signal (better when Quartzsite is less busy).
It was quite windy while we were there, not sure if that is usual or seasonal.
We made a video while we were there if you'd like to get a feel for the area and see some of the Horse Tanks hike-

This place is beautiful, wide open, and quiet. It is near the end of March, and while windy which is normal in the desert, the weather is in mid-70’s.
The road in is easy driving, but as you go further back it starts to get rough, washboards, but still easily passable for any size RV.
Internet on AT&T is strong at 40mbps down and 20 up, Verizon has an okay 6 mbps down, but it’s a very latent connection with 400ms RTT.
There is tons of space with really good, mostly flat and easily leveled, spots for any size rig, in fact, most spots can support multiple rigs for bigger get togethers.
Sunsets and sunrise are magnificat with lots of color and texture on the surrounding mountains.
I really like this place and we will return in the future.

Found this perfect spot that had peace and quiet written all over it. Others were around but there was plenty of space for everyone. We saw a beautiful sunset and a beautiful sunrise the next morning. We were actually wishing we didn’t need to get back on the road. We could have definitely stayed another day or two.

I found that if you drive 12 mph or less the dust stays down. Warning when continuing on toward the refuge the road takes a very large dip. SinceI am new with my rpod, I was glad I had stopped before this. However on into t g e wilderness there were a couple of larger trailers and class a's that made it.

Camped just opposite KOFA entrance sign. Best thing: Desert Pavement perfect for supporting weight of heavy RV. No one closer than about 150 feet from each other. Serviceable cell signal. Ramble away 1/10 mile from road and your in desert solitude.

Wide open and plenty of room. Everyone intuitively keeps a safe distance from each other. Contrary to some others complaints regarding phone signals, coverage is good. Maybe we were located less than 500 meters from 95.

BLM disbursed camping, find a spot and set up. Areas off of King Rd are somewhat level and hard packed. Nice views. Some road noise from Hwy 95, but not bad.

Camped at the King Road Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 14-day free dispersed camping area immediately prior to entering the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge and approximately 38 miles south of Quartzsite, Arizona. Scenic mountains make for a spectacular backdrop and saguaro and teddy bear cholla abound. AT&T cellular service was 5G and clocked in at 66.1 Mbps download speed and 14.4 Mbps upload speed. Verizon cellular service clocked in at .60 Mbps download speed and 9.53 Mbps upload speed and was barely usable. The campsite I selected is big rig friendly and is located at grid coordinates: 33.2585928, -114.2310256. Once on King Road take a right turn at grid coordinates 33.2590085, -114.2306706 to access the aforementioned campsite. There is plenty of space for multiple big rigs at this location. Took some time to do some daytime backpacking within the wild and scenic Kofa. Thoroughly enjoyed our boondocking stay at the King Road BLM.
