OK...  So, what are the dates of the Lemon Rally and...  do they coincide with the RV Tent Show?  Or...  do we just need to figure on a 2-4 week stay?

This looks like a lot of fun!

It is no longer an organized rally, people come and go as they please.  The majority flock there around the time of the RV tent show, plus or minus a week or so. Arrive early for a prime site.

Yup but this time earlier than last.  We used to arrive around the 15th with other groups but had a late arrival last time.

I would aim for January 20-28. From the center of Q, south on 95 to La Paz Valler Rd, turn right. Go past the dip in the road to the yellow star on my map. Turn right then angle left on the leftmost dirt track to the second star. That where it's at.

And for those who get to Quartzsite, just head south on 95 for 6.0 miles and make a right on La Paz Road. Go about half a mile just a  couple of hundred feet past the dip where the bushes are. Easy to miss or go up the right hand fork.

....if you are into dry camping, it's Great!.....otherwise, there are boo-coos of RV Parks, in and around town.......then, we just go to the desert and visit 🙂

P.s. You might want to put a deposit with a RV park to Guarantee a site - for Tent Week....if you are thinking full hook-ups.

Dan,

7 miles south of Hwy 10 on Hwy 95. Turn west and follow the dirt road through several dips for about 1/5th of a mile then turn right. During the big tent time, you should be able to see other Foretravels already parked there.
