Quartzsite RV Resort is a unique RV Park that caters to both snowbirds and the Quartzsite community.
This spacious destination, full of amenities, is like finding a gem in the desert.
From I-10, take Exit 19 Quartzsite AZ. Go north and the park is on the left side. Look for a large orange and yellow building on corner of Coyote St and Riggles Ave. From Hwy 95 south, take Main Street (B-10) east and go to the last light. Turn left at light (north) onto Riggles Ave. The park is on the corner of Coyote St and Riggles Ave.
Nice clubhouse. 2 washer/dryer combo...one set not working. Satellite TV in the pool table room, with comfortable couch. Beautiful shower (will add pic). Small convience store open when management is present.
Building has outdoor lighting bright enough to light a path to the end of park (dimmer further away from office/clubhouse.)
Back-in sites are further away from sound of semi trucks parking on vacant lot across from RV park. Still hear them, except when a/c fans are on.
Excellent price with electric included (park is connected to large solar panels).
Current manager is pleasant.
Leaving this at two stars as I was able to stay at least about 12-15 hours after an emergency of breaking down at the Arco/Pilot Fuel station.
I was in a pinch with my truck breaking down. I had to call a tow truck to pull my truck to a shop, and find a way to move the RV to a safer spot.
As luck would have it, my prayers were answered as Quartzite had and RV park literally across the road about 200 yards from where I unfortunately broke down.
I called the first moment I knew I may be stuck for two days waiting for help to come.
Only by text would I be able to reserve a spot at the park.
I text and explained my situation, and was answered back immediately to reserve and take payment. I procured spot #2. However, I still had a challenge of getting the RV moved over.
I walked miles around the RV parks, and asked for help that wouldn't come until the next day. Grateful for the help, I paid a gentleman to move me over... During that time, I was at the RV park for minimal time, and thought the owner would be kind enough to return at least one night's fees, as I had not been there for only approximately 12 hours. I text immediately when I was set up after being helped. No answer as there was so quickly the day before to debit money from my account, not a word.
The following day was Tuesday, and I received a message that due to the last minute request to reserve a spot, there would be no refund...
This RV location was half full when I arrived, I shared the same pictures I have in this post, but human kindness only stretched as far as taking my money, and making a selfish decision to not help a stranger in need, but to line their pockets instead during an emergency situation...
They also have a gentleman that stays on property, and is retired from the Air Force.
He greets people as if he's in charge, and talks to people rudely and as if being a retired veteran makes him entitled to be unkind, rude, and aggressive.
Even in an emergency situation, knowing what I know now, I will be sure to share how I was treated, assaulted, and taken advantage of, in a desperate situation, where human kindness, and care could have spoken loudly and greatly.
Instead, this facility isn't worth the money required to pay you to stay 12 hours, let alone any amount of time.
The Arco/Pilot station was far more accommodating when they could have acted differently. Every staff member there was kind, courteous, and helpful during this moment.

Dog friendly: They allow dogs, but charged us $5/dog/night and didn’t disclose that to us when making the reservation. Gravel everywhere with no designated dog area and no pickup stations makes you ask the question, what are we paying a fee for. Not very dog friendly.

Camp store:
None.
Camp staff interactions:
Interaction making the reservation over the phone was pleasant; however, the park did not disclose fees that were charged to my account including dog fees and transaction fees. The office was closed on arrival (even though the sign said open). There was no check in package, no information left as to how to access the wifi, and no phone call. We didn’t see or interact with any camp staff during our visit.
Additional info:
The biggest frustration we had was with the hidden fees. Their website clearly stated the nightly price and the fact they offer 50% discount for Passport America members. I guess they add on the fees to offset the cost since the fees aren’t discounted. But between the hidden dog fees and transaction fees, our nightly rate was increased by 50%.
There is a truck stop close by with truck parking right across the street from this location. We saw many trucks pulling in for overnight parking and heard the sound of their trucks running all through night from inside our RV. It made us wonder why we were paying to sleep in a gravel parking lot with hidden fees when there was one across the street for free.
**EDIT: After contacting the office multiple times, $12 undisclosed fees were refunded at my request**
