Plomosa Road (BLM) – Quartzsite AZ

RATING: ♦♦♦♦
  • Dates: Jan 17, 2019 – Jan 25, 2019
  • Length of stay: 8 nights.
  • Cost per night: Free.
  • Discount: N/A.
  • Hookups: None.
  • Site number/quality: This is dispersed camping with no amenities. Sites are located in a large gravel area off the highway.
  • Park Quality: The Plomosa Road BLM camping area is one of the 14 day camping sections in the much larger area managed by the BLM in the Quartzsite area. It’s a great place to boondock, especially with a group.
  • Access: Our camping site was along Plomosa Road off AZ-95, about 6 miles north of Quartzsite.
  • Connectivity: We were able to get usable service from all three of our carriers: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, but the T-Mobile towers seemed to be less busy.
  • Return yes/no?: Yes.
  • Notes: This was our first real boondocking experience, and we had a great time. We camped with the Boomers group from Escapees. There were over 200 rigs in our group known as Boomerville. A number of the people we met at Boomerville were also part of the Mexican Connection caravan we took to Baja in February.
