The landscape is quintessential Quartzsite, featuring expansive desert vistas and rocky terrain that invite exploration and provide a sense of immense open space.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

This is an older RV park with the necessities, not a lot of amenities. That said, we have a stayed there and found it friendly and safe.
Debbie Clarke
The amenities were what I expected for an RV park in Quartzite. The political flags flying on some of the campsites were unwelcoming and off-putting. Do better. Why alienate potential campers?

You only get what you pay for. Positive: Clean park Office folks are nice Easy to get into & out of Wide spaces Mixed: Location-near Love’s Truck Stop where you can fuel up or get basic supplies, food, etc. But there is definitely noise 24/7 so if you’re a light sleeper you may notice that, we did. If you’re into off Roading, you can leave right from camp and head south where there are many miles of trails. However, that is something you can do from pretty much any RV park in Quartzsite. Negative: The sites have no patios. Sites while level are really nothing more than utilities in a field, and loose rocks are everywhere. The Hi Jolly and La Posa short term camping areas have better terrain. Also the closest park to the westernmost mountain so if it’s windy you’ll feel more of that here as nothing blocks the breeze. In short, if we didn’t want the hookups this time we would have had a better & quieter stay boon docking. There’s nothing wrong with the place, it’s just very minimalist & not for us. If we’re going to pay to camp, we want more even if it costs more per nite. We would not stay here again-just our preference.

We have been here for 2 weeks and will be here 2 1/2 months. Staff in the office are very friendly and helpful! They have laundry on site and the facility is very clean. Very cozy and quiet. Highly recommend!!

While searching for a RV spot for myself and 4 friends I stopped into Desert Gardens RV Park. I met with Danny who offered exceptional customer service. When I explained I needed several spots during the busiest time of the year Danny said no problem. Give me a day to work it out and I will see what I can do. Thinking when I left I would never hear back from him I was blown away when he called me a few hours later and said I got you handled. I so sincerely appreciate the time and consideration Danny gave me. Absolutely wonderful customer service and a very fare price for full hookups. After checking in the next day another friend called and needed a spot. I immediately called Danny and he was able to even accommodate another friend of mine. A sincere thank you to Danny.
