Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show

Oy! My feet are tierd! Quartzsite is an interesting place to say the least. We’ve stopped by the annual Sports, Vacation & RV show for the last three years. I enjoy the show and always learn something new and usually end up buying something. This was the 24th year the show has been in production. Something different this year is that they closed the big tent down and sent everyone home last Sunday around 3:00 pm due to high winds (somebody said they really closed it so they could watch the football game). This year the show runs from January 20th – 28th, so if you hurry, you can make it here by Sunday which is the last day of the show. Following the RV show is the Craft & Gem Show (Jan. 31st – Feb 4th) followed by the Classic Car Show (February 3rd & 4th). So, if you don’t make it to the show, no problem! There more shows to come and there are so many venders here doing business in the “Flea Market” format that it will make your feet hurt just thinking about it. If you are driving through Quartzsite and you’ve never been here before, do yourself a favor and spend a few days here. There is no place on earth quite like it! You don’t have to boondock, although space is plentiful if you want to dry camp a few days or the whole season for that matter. We just stay at the Desert Gardens behind Loves truck stop where we enjoy full hook-ups.

The last two years traffic was bad, but this year it is reasonable. You can actually get around town now that the construction is mostly finished.

There is always something cooking at the RV show! There is also live entertainment! And, there are lots of vendors with all kinds of goodies for RVers. Let’s see, where is my credit card…. See you on the road. Jim
