With roughly 150,000 RVers from all over the U.S. and Canada expected, the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation and RV show will return in 2023 under a 70,000-square-foot tent with exhibits, shopping, repairs, upgrades and workshops.
Located in the tiny town of Quartzsite, Arizona, the town itself swells to what some have is described as the largest gathering of RVers in the world.
For nine days, RVers descend on the giant exhibit tent to see the latest gadgets, get work and upgrades done on their RVs and learn more about the RV lifestyle with workshops and seminars, a new feature for 2023. As always, attendance at the event is free for spectators as is parking. Located just off Interstate 10, 125 miles west of Phoenix and just 20 miles from the California border, this sleepy little town played host to an RV extravaganza that started 39 years ago. Much more than an RV show, The Quartzsite Sports, Vacation and RV Show is a destination, a huge rock and mineral show and an exceptional people-watching venue.
For 2023, a series of workshops and seminars will debut at the show where attendees can learn about topics from trip planning to safety upgrades, solar and batteries, boondocking and how to shop for an RV. The Media stage, sponsored by RV Life and managed by StressLess Camping, will host presenters all nine days of the show with free sessions that often include drawings for participants. Numerous tourism-related exhibits from around the world are scheduled to participate, as well as representatives from dozens of the nation’s finest RV resorts and campgrounds. In addition, many “workcamper” recruiters from National Parks and private campgrounds will be in attendance.
One can expect to see the “who’s who” of the RV industry, but the stars of the show are the over 400 exhibitors (set up in and around the Big Tent – a 70,000-square-foot fully carpeted structure) selling everything from the latest and greatest RV gadgets to fashion jewelry to local honey.
“If you’re looking for anything related to RVs, you’ll find it at our show in Quartzsite,” said Kimmy King. “It’s something every RVer should have on their bucket list and experience at least once in their lifetime.”
