Quartzsite - The Basics...

It is that time of year again - RV'ers, snowbirds, gem lovers, fossil and mineral collectors alike are heading to the ultimate "tailgate" show!!!

For those of you who have never been to Quartzsite before...this is a winter tradition for many a sun follower. The sleepy little town of Quartzsite in Arizona goes bonkers...tents, boondockers, RVs, campers and outdoor swapmeets, seemingly sprout up from the desert floor!

There are a couple of great sites with info about the Quartzsite shows, places to stay and calendars with maps so you can plan your dates and the shows you want to catch:

1. The Quartzsite Chamber of Commerce

2. Places to stay in Quartzsite (be aware that there are no

Hilton's or even Howard Johnson's in Quartzsite)

3. RV Parks- chose all the ammenities or boondock (dry camp) on BLM land

3. Maps with Shows and Dates - xpopress

This is an easy day trip from California (where I live) - or like a lot of my friends, you can chose to stay in Blythe and drive across the border to the various shows...something to consider.

Basically - you can go to Quartzsite at any time between January 1st and February 28th and there will be a show of some kind to attend.

Known by RV groups as the "Q", if you love the desert, the Quartzsite Experience is not to be missed. It is a Rock Hound's dream come true but everyone will find something to enjoy from swapmeets to craft and art shows, chili cook offs, car shows, RV and vacation shows to the Blue Grass Festival...there is always something happening in Quartzsite! But what I hear about most is the people - this little town exudes "friendly" and most folks go back each year to connect with friends they made from previous visits.

Do not miss the
Quartzsite show...
Jan. 1 – Feb. 28, 2010

Quartzsite, Arizona, barely 20 miles east of the Colorado river, on I-10, may be the RV boondocking capital of the world, and the town has been a rockhound’s dream since the 1960s. Quartzsite has indeed become a mecca to well over a million visitors and hundreds of vendors for rocks, gems, mineral specimens and fossils during the town’s famous two-month-long gem show and swap meet every January and February. From its humble beginnings the now-massive Quartzsite show has grown to RV-epic proportions, with vendors offering everything from a Navajo rug to a new turbo-charged RV engine. Admission is free as is camping on the nearby government lands, where RVers claim a bit of dusty desert soil for their very own. Quartzsite is HOT and folks are scarce in the summer when the temp tops 100 degrees as often as not. In the winter, when the town of a few hundred permanent residents swells to tens of thousands at a time (most in RVs), the temperature is typically mild with sunny skies, so if you show up bring shorts and suntan lotion.
