2026 Quartzsite Sports, Vacation and RV Show

Every January something happens that is hard to believe, unless you have seen it! According to the Arizona Highway Department, as many as 750,000 to 1,000,000 people, mostly in RVs, converge on this sleepy little desert town, located just 20 miles east of the California border on Interstate 10, for the rock, gem and mineral shows, plus numerous flea markets and the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show. This phenomenon started over 40 years ago and is now billed as “The Largest Gathering Of RVers in the World”...

The highlight of the show is “The Big Tent” where RV-related products are available for purchase. There is the social component with gatherings and events and plenty of choices in new RVs. Furthermore, RVers come from all over to get maintenance and repairs done and outfit their rigs with aftermarket add-ons.

The small town of Quartzsite, Arizona swells from a tiny population of a few thousand to over a quarter million people as RVers come from all over to enjoy warm January weather and RV fun. There is a tremendous amount of boondock camping in the desert and quite a few RV parks in the area.

We have an article about Quartzsite and plan on being there ourselves.
