Quartzsite az magic circle

Well. you're question is extremely vague, so here goes. Quartzsite is a small desert city with about 7000 permanent residents. The temperatures can run 110 -120 degrees during the summer, hence the small population. During the winter months, people can camp on the surrounding BLM land for about $40.00 a month. About 250 thousand people show up. For people on a budget, it's not a bad way to escape cold weather save money for 3-4 months.

All of the BLM land (desert) is pretty much flat. They have roving sewer pump trucks, and you can get water at various places, but you'll have to haul it.

I would say the majority to of the RVers stay on the BLM land. However, there are several campgrounds near the center of town. In my opinion only two are decent with full hookups and dozens of others that offer some amenities, like power or water. Those are typically just a dirt parking spot with a power connector.

There are fast food restaurants in town, primarily servicing the interstate. A couple of grocery stores, and a few okay restaurants. There are several places for fuel.

It doesn't matter what type of RV you have. If you don't want to drive on desert roads, you can stay at a campsite in town. Quartzsite is usually busiest when the big temp is up, and the Rock show and RV show are going on. Other shopping includes dozens of football field sized flea markets throughout town.

A great overview from Don.

I'll only add that during something like the RV Show - your length of stay and enjoyment of the stay - depends greatly upon your boondocking experience without any hookups.

Most rigs can handle a few days with no problem - from popups to 45' DP class As.

Now, the big RV show in late January - that can be everything from an incredibly wonderful experience to a horrible zoo - depending upon your expectations.

Yes, crowded - the overview photo at the back of the information is considered as 'very crowded' by most of the boondocking group.

Driving to the 'big tent' can be frustrating. US-95 is two lanes, and parking near the main part of the show is tight and crowded.

But, if you want to learn about solar, being self-sufficient, even such topics as the wiring in your rig, fuel efficiency or almost anything. It is worth a visit.

As mentioned above - there several RV parks in the area. But a big event, reservations are necessary months in advance. And premium pricing.

Staying at an outlying area along the Colorado River or US-60 to the east is an option.

Totally up to you.

It might be a once is enough experience, or become an every year must. You will never know unless you go.

We have a Class A, and we have been going to Quartzsite in it since we bought it in 2018. Spent a couple of years before that staying in a travel trailer. We stay in a Long Term Visitor Area (LTVA) because we have access to a dump station, water, and power. Cost is ridiculous at $40/14 days LOL! There are free boondock sites, but you have to pay for water and dumping. For a big rig, the cost is actually more to stay “free” for most people. We need to dump about once a week, and cost is marginally better to stay in the LTVA. You can find a huge amount of information online. The RV show should be experienced by every RVer at least once. Hundreds of thousands of RVers, rigs of all types from tents to vans to converted busses to converted semi-trailers to Prevosts and everything in between. I wouldn’t call any of the campgrounds in town upscale, but they are functional. We sometimes stay at Holiday Palms if we are traveling on I-10 and want to do laundry. We much prefer the desert before and after the show since the numbers decrease dramatically.

We've attended twice for about a month each time. Once for the show, and the next time just for boondocking before show time. The show time is an experience. A massive amount of people, which is cool in one sense, but also puts a strain on the town. If you go at peak time, take your patience because you can expect lines and wait times.

If you go off peak times, you can do some really nice boondocking. Be aware the the town of Quartzite is a small town, with small town grocery stores and no big city amenities. Groceries are limited, and prices are higher. Normal population is around 2500, but it receives up to 2,000,000 visitors with RVers descending on the town like locusts in mid winter around show time.

Reviews for "The Role of Music and Dance in the Vernal Equinox Pagan Festival"

1. Emily - 1 out of 5 stars

I attended the Vernal Equinox Pagan Festival expecting a unique and enjoyable experience, but I was sorely disappointed. The festival lacked organization and seemed to be in complete disarray. The schedule was not adhered to, performances were delayed or canceled without prior notice, and there were long periods of time where there was simply nothing happening. Additionally, the vendors at the festival were limited and did not offer a wide variety of products. Overall, the festival felt like a waste of time and money, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

2. Mike - 2 out of 5 stars

I had high hopes for the Vernal Equinox Pagan Festival, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The atmosphere was lackluster, and the event felt more like a small gathering than a festival. The entertainment provided was mediocre, and there were no standout performances or activities to keep the attendees engaged. The lack of variety in food options was disappointing as well. In the end, the festival failed to deliver the vibrant and energetic experience I was hoping for, and I left feeling underwhelmed.

3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars

I attended the Vernal Equinox Pagan Festival with the hope of immersing myself in pagan culture and enjoying a unique celebration. However, the festival seemed to be poorly planned and lacked substance. The workshops and talks that were advertised were either canceled or poorly executed, leaving attendees with little to no guidance or educational experiences. The overall ambiance of the festival was also quite dull, as there were no interactive or engaging activities to participate in. Overall, the Vernal Equinox Pagan Festival fell short in providing an enriching and enjoyable experience within the pagan community.
