Quartzite; holding tank pumpouts
Bill Lampkin:
Roadrunner BLM campground. Does anyone offer pumpouts on site? Also water delivery; I remember taking on water at a faucet (I think) at one of the BLM campgrounds; is this still the norm? Our beaver has only one way to take on fresh water and that is from a pressurized faucet. For both questions, I know about RV Pit Stop and other campgrounds in town that offer holding tank dumps, but is there anyone doing pumpouts or water delivery in the BLM campgrounds? We last visited Quartzite madness 8 years ago (gas was $1.99 at one station).
David T. Richelderfer:
I GOOGLE Searched for mobile RV waste tank pumpouts and found one in Blythe, CA. The following is the firm's reply to my inquiry.
"Hello David,
"Yes we will be servicing all the BLM areas. Since it is a group, we will need to know the dates they will be there, the location and how many RV's want service. It get so busy that we schedule a certain day to do groups. The price for the service is $45.00 per RV. We do the gray and black tanks. Unfortunately we do not deliver water. If you find someone who dose PLEASE be careful. Some say they are a professional water service and are not. Check their equipment and credentials like a permit before you buy. Please have the person in charge of the Beaver Rally call me and I will do my best to take of them. Thank you for the opportunity to do business with the Beaver Rally.
"Best Regards,

So, Bill, there ya' go. When I parked on BLM at Road Runner for a couple of weeks and to avoid driving into Quartzsite, I purchased a 45-gallon bladder that fit into the backseat of my pickup and purchased a small 120v water pump.
Chuck Jackson:
Here is a list of companies that offer that service.

Bill Lampkin:
Do you recall if there is water from a faucet available at one of the BLM campgrounds?
Chuck Jackson:
There is but, for a fee.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has set aside six areas for dispersed camping or boondocking around Quartzsite. The largest area, called the La Posa Long-Term Visitor Area (LTVA), is located just south of town off the US-95. To boondock at the LTVA you must purchase either a $40 permit for two weeks or a $180 permit for seven months (September to April). This fee includes garbage, potable water, and dump station access.
