Quartzsite: No Place Like It

The arrow is pointing to our RV and tents set-up early, before the Rock Show at Tyson Wells in Quartzsite, Arizona in January of 2022. We are setting up at the same location for most all of January 2023, row V, spaces 3-6 both for the Rock Show and the Sell-A-Rama. Tyson Wells is located on Kuehn Avenue, across from the “Big Tent,” that boasts the largest RV show in America. The town of Quartzite is bisected by Interstate 10, seen here, across the top of the picture. Tyson Wells is just one of many show locations in this sleepy desert town that explodes with thousands of people in the winter.

In addition to rocks, minerals, crystal, jewelry, the show boasts selling of almost everything along 2.2 miles of aisles. The show includes entertainment and various food vendors. I recall bringing my son here many years ago for a weekend of camping. We would ride our bikes around town. I never imagined, back then, that I would become a vendor, along with my wife Sherry.

There are many websites that talk about Quartzsite and its events. Here is a link to a recent article about Quartzsite, the source of the picture, above: https://www.desertusa.com/dusablog/quartzsite-az/

Safe, fun and outdoors. Plan to visit in January, for the day, weekend, or more. There are several RV parks, free public lands camping and motels in nearby Blythe, California.

Hope to see you in Quartzsite. Happy New Year.
