We arrived the 3rd week of January and picked a site in this BLM area about 1 mile west of Bouse, AZ. It is way less congested than any of the BLM areas near Quartzsite in January.

We arrived the 3rd week of January and picked a site in this BLM area about 1 mile west of Bouse, AZ. It is way less congested than any of the BLM areas near Quartzsite in January. There are a number of easy access dirt roads on either side of Plomosa Road.
Our nearest neighbor was about 100 yards away. You had to listen intently to even hear if the neighbor was running a generator.
This is pure boondocking, no services except what you carry with you.
The local Bouse Community Campground allows you to use their dump station and fill with fresh water for $20. The camp host told us that the water is from a well and they test it monthly to ensure safety.
Two of the commercial campgrounds in Bouse will fill your propane tank, and the price was very reasonable - actually cheaper than in Quartzsite.
Plomosa Road has road traffic throughout the day, but is minimal at night. Overall there was little road noise. There was the occasional ATV group that passed the by but all were considerate regarding speed and dust.
In Bouse there is a small grocery store and a Family Dollar that provides most of the basic essentials,including fresh fruits and vegetables.
This is a great place to stay and easily attend the numerous activities in Quartzsite in January.

Heard so much about the Quartzsite area that I was compelled to check it out on our way through the area. Stopped at the Pit Stop to fill up on propane. Easy to find and lots of places to camp. No issues other than the road is busy. Would camp here again if in the area.

I spent 10 days in February 2021 and my nearest neighbor was half a mile away. During that time, one vehicle passed my site. This was on the south side of the road. There were a couple of dips and ruts in the "road", but by hugging one side or the other, I was able to keep my 38' 5th wheel level as I drove. I travel to AZ every winter ... more

I travel to AZ every winter and this will be my go to spot for the Quartzsite area from now on.

This is my favorite place to Boondock in Quartzsite. Open and plenty of room to spread out. Fairly level most places. Pretty quiet. I feel safe there. Like most boondocking spots around here there are coyotes running around from dusk to Dawn. Just watch small pets out after dark.

Met up with several friends here during the Big Tent week. Had a fantastic time. This area is a bit washboardy and lots of dips getting into some areas but it is so worth it.

Met up with several friends here during the Big Tent week. Had a fantastic time. This area is a bit washboardy and lots of dips getting into some areas but it is so worth it.
You do need to register with the Camp Host upon entering (parked to the right as soon as you turn on Plomosa).
There is a public dump a few miles down the road, so make sure to take your trash with you when you leave.
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Stars galore while sitting around a campfire. Always better with friends. Our only issue was that although we had strong signals with both Verizon and T-Mobile, Verizon was so bogged down due to so many people in the area. We found ourselves getting up at 3 a.m. to get our work done.
If you can do without internet then this would be the perfect experience!
