Quartzsite

Quartzsite is a former mining town in La Paz County, . In 2020, it hosted a permanent population of 2,400 people, but during the balmy winters from December to February the population explodes to well over 100,000 as RV campers descend in droves in recreational vehicles to camp on the BLM Lands surrounding the town.
