by Jack Wiley (Author)
RVING QUARTZSITE, ARIZONA, is a complete how-to guide to one of the most popular winter-season RVing areas in the world. There is nowhere else in the world where RVs roam as freely as they do in the United States, and nowhere else in the United States where they gather quite so freely and in such numbers as they do in the desert Southwest. Quartzsite, Arizona, with a population of about four thousand in the summer, is one of the most popular RVing areas in the world during the winter season. That's when the RVers and other visitors appear and swell the population of the town and surrounding area population sometimes to an estimated 250,000 or more on peak days in January and February and a total of over a million visitors annually.Quartzsite is known as the boondocking (also known as "dry" camping or staying in an RV without hookups) capital of the world. There are thousands of acres of BLM land where you can camp or boondock in your RV for free in 14-day limit areas or for a small fee in long-term areas. In addition to this, there are over 60 RV parks in Quartzsite with full hookups.This book is all about what led the author to Quartzsite, why he keeps returning, and what he does while he is there. And more importantly it is about how you can experience Quartzsite for yourself in your own RV. All aspects of RVing Quartzsite are covered including how to get there, where to park your RV, boondocking, finding your way around, what to see and do, walking and bicycling in Quartzsite, activities and events, shopping, RV services including repairs, solar installations, parts and supplies and where to get water and propane and empty holding tanks.
