Like all of the free BLM areas around Quartzsite this is super easy to get to and easily accessible for any-sized rig. Summary: We decided to camp at Plomosa simply to switch it up a bit from our usual boondocking location at Dome Rock. Otherwise very little cactus and practically no cholla which is great for paws on the ground.īONUS ALERT = Camp in desert beauty just 6 miles north of Quartzsite! The area is hard and very rocky, so doggies who haven’t spent much time in the desert may be somewhat sore until their paws harden up (take it easy on your first walks). Lots of space in camp and easy dirt roads and surroundings to walk. However outside the main season and/or if you drive further back along the dirt roads you have a very good chance of finding isolation.Įxcellent spot for doggie. The area near the entrance will almost always be fairly crowded, and during the big annual Jan RV show there will lots of large groups and people camped all around. This is one of the furthest free BLM spots from Q, so it tends to have lower visitation than some of the other popular sites. Very decent to excellent isolation depending on time of year and where you park. Lots of nature all-around including views of mountains and pretty washes. Occasional road noise from folks driving down Plomosa, but otherwise it’s quiet especially if you snag a spot further back from the main road. Any sized-rig can camp here with no problem. Dirt roads to the left (north) of Plomosa go further back than roads to the right (south), so if you’re looking for more isolation/quiet chose one of these to scout first. Most of the dirt roads are rocky, flat and very hard although there can be a unexpected dips, softer spots and washes, so if you’re in a big rig it’s best to unhook just off the pavement on Plomosa and scout ahead for your spot. When choosing your site just be sure to practice good boondocking etiquette and camp in a place that doesn’t disturb nature or your your neighbors. Plomosa Road is paved and there is a camphost at the entrance where you can check-in to get your free 14-day permit.Ĭampsites -> This is BLM boondocking so there are no “designated” campsites, but there are lots of dirt roads leading off each side of Plomosa Road with hundreds of obvious cleared-off areas to camp.
