2025 Truck Camper Adventure Quartzsite Rally Tickets Now on Sale!

Tickets for the 2025 Truck Camper Adventure Quartzsite Rally are now on sale on Eventbrite. An educational event with an emphasis on safety and responsible use of our public lands, and hosted by Truck Camper Adventure, this is the largest and probably best truck camper rally in America. In February 2024, we hosted 403 truck campers and expect even more campers and interest in 2025. Don’t wait, only a limited number of tickets are available. Like previous TCA rallies, tickets are sold by camper not by person.

This is a truck camper rally, meaning you must own a hard-side or pop-up truck camper to attend (truck toppers, camper shells, and chassis-mounted campers are okay too). We encourage anyone and everyone with a truck camper to attend, including those who own classic truck campers, like Avions and old Alaskans, and those who built their own DIY camper.

The rally is scheduled for February 12-16, 2025 with the check-in scheduled for February 12 at noon. The rally consists of workshops and classes, contests, music, a sponsored raffle, vendors, and a truck camper “open house” to view campers owned by others attending the rally. Note that the first 200 check-ins will receive a goodie bag with lots of goodies.

Like previous Truck Camper Adventure rallies, this will be a boondocking rally held at the Roadrunner Wash BLM Area 6 miles south of Quartzsite. This means attendees should top off their fresh water holding tanks and empty all waste tanks prior to the rally. No hookups and other amenities, except for a few portable toilets, will be provided. Pack it in, pack it out.

Truck Camper Adventure will formally recognize the top truck camper rigs at the rally. Those interested in being recognized must register their rig during check-in and will need to park in the main gathering area. The top three rigs will be awarded a medal and a full feature article in Truck Camper Adventure.

IMPORTANT: TICKETS ARE SOLD BY CAMPER NOT BY PERSON. The $75.00 Fee admits one truck camper to the event and includes one ticket for the raffle. Each ticket admits up to six family members. When registering, please include all adult names (for example John and Jane Doe) to allow an accurate check-in and count. Monies collected will be used to help defray the costs for equipment, insurance, the permit, renting a larger 20×60-foot canopy, renting more toilets, music, and for using Eventbrite. NOTE: Getting a BLM Permit will not be required. TCA will submit a detailed attendee list to the BLM office for permitting.

Cancellations and refunds will NOT be issued after February 5, 2025.

Directions to the BLM Roadrunner Wash: Take the I-10 to Quartzsite. Get off on the Highway 95 exit and head south on Highway 95. Travel approximately 6 miles and turn right (west) on 53rd Street N. (do not enter the BLM area using the Highway 95 entrance due to the presence of deep sand on the main road). The Roadrunner Wash BLM area will immediately be on your right and will be marked by a Roadrunner Wash BLM Area Kiosk and a Truck Camper Adventure feather flag. Follow the orange traffic cones to the west to get to the rally. The location where we will be holding the rally is 33.5911 lat -114.2342 long, the same location as previous rallies.
