Plomosa Road

I stayed here the first two weeks of March. I came prepared to drive right past if it was still busy from the winter crowds, but I was surprised to find that most people had left. The first week, there was an RV every 100 yards (and the generator and outdoor TV/music noise was annoying), but by the second week, it was almost deserted. ... more

If you're headed to quartzite, capable of boondocking and have no clue where to stay once you get here look no further. Plomosa Rd is so big, easy to use for any rig, camping with friends or just want your own private slice of the desert you will find it here. It's a little drive into town but not bad. Best part is its free. We stayed ... more

Great spot! Lot's of space to spread out. It would be hard not to find a level place to park. The roads in, at least out around mile marker 2, are a bit rough. But there is plenty of places to park nearer Plomosa Road. Scout ahead! That's about the only bad thing we could say. And you can't beat the sunsets either. We'll be back!

This is your typical no-frills BLM camping area. This is a huge area so there is room to spread out some. We're here for the RV show and are totally amazed at just how many RV'ers are within a 10-mile radius of Quartzsite. This area is a flat rocky area which keeps the dust to a minimum. As the other campers have stated: the sunsets an... more

We have stayed here each of the past three years. It's convenient to Quartzsite and only 30 miles to Parker. We stay here for just 5-7 days because it's simply not private enough though much better than the other designated locations around Q.

We came in mid-February, so post-RV show. There were plenty of people but also plenty of space, so we were able to get a spot far, far away from everyone. The sunsets were incredible, the starry nights were incredible, and the peace and solitude was just what we needed. We were ready for new scenery once our permit ran out, but overall... more

We were on our way to Phoenix so stopped for a night which ended up being 2 nights. Would have loved to stay longer but had things to do and people to see. We stayed early January. Weather was awesome. Paved road has camping on both sides and you find a good turn off for your rig and find "a spot that looks like home" (as the camp host... more

We came for Quartzsite show January 2017. We enjoyed boondocking and had No neighbors ( Although we had to go further back in the preserve)!! Had a chance to let the dogs play a bit. Weather was totally good but not totally bad either. The wind was worse this year. Rangers and staff were very friendly. Bad...Very loud generators th... more

We were here in late November and it is pretty much dead quiet. Plomosa Rd itself is freshly paved and in perfect condition. The road is over 20 miles long and with the exception of a small piece in the hills it is mostly campable. There are hundreds of sites to be had although that will probably change at the end of January when the b... more

This is our favorite spot around Quartzsite. A little farther out of town, the ground has more rock so it less dusty, less people stay out here because there are no utilities close by and it's farther away from town. But it still gets busy during big events. We like it best in the shoulder seasons and have many times camped with no on... more
