Stayed here for a Grand Design rally. Nice quiet area with good road in. Plenty of level spots.
Only downsides are the high prices in Quartzsite, steady strong wind and poor Verizon coverage.

I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked about ½ mile from the entrance to get away from road noise. The area is very flat and easy for large rigs to navigate. Lots of fire rings have been built by prior occupants. Had 2 bars 5G with Verizon. Didn’t check for OTA. Be sure to park well away from others. I got yelled at for being too close when I was easily 70 yards (yes I measured) away from their rig.

Flat with Easy Access... good BLM free camping area. On our way to Joshua Tree from Yuma. Was late afternoon and needed to grab a boondocking spot before dusk. Right off 95 with easy gravel\rock access road and plenty of flat usable sites. Good cellular reception on Verizon and ATT but Verizon is very crowded. ATT was better for us.

This place is so large you can get off by yourself and enjoy the quiet star filled nights. Just sign in at the host site for free 14 days of mostly sunshine and decent weather.

Lots of reviews here so not much to add.
Large, open area that is flat with easy access. There are several access roads off of La Paz Valley Road/N 53 St between Hiway 95 Old Yuma Road. We found the first couple of turn offs were the busiest. Some highway noise.
Lots of OHV and geocaching opportunities.

We stayed here for the Truck Camper Adventure truck camper rally in Feb 2021. Good place near Quartzsite but not an LTVA, so it's free for 14 days. Mostly flat, easy access, plenty of space for rigs of all sizes. Check out Kofa National Wildlife Refuge while you're here.
