Southwest BLM Yuma & Quartzsite

[tracker]

Hi artstream, I used to work at a small Calif state recreation area just North of Yuma. On the Colorado river. called Picacho state recreation area. It was/ is surounded by BLM land that is open to dry camping. Very nice looking country with lots of wildlife and oddly enough for the desert very good fishing. Tracker.

So, what do we know about BLM camping in Yuma, and or Quartzside or any other interesting areas

We just returned from the Imperial Dam area today. Jimmini has a good point about the dust, but it was not bad while we were there. If you keep driving on the gravel roads near the north shore area, there are some spots away from the crowds of other RVs there for the winter. If we had more ground clearance, we would have driven all the way to north shore at Senator Wash.
