Every year they come to gather in the Arizona desert.

This is a completely free event, open to everyone.
It is in Quartzsite AZ on BLM free two week camping land.

First it was hundreds, now it’s thousands. People from all over the world, and all walks of life, come to meet in this beautiful desert landscape. Many are full time nomads, and this annual event affords an opportunity to reconnect with friends and share stories of the road.

They also come to get ideas from other nomads about all kinds of things relating to this lifestyle. There are daily seminars (free) on various topics from making trail mix, to RV maintenance.

The bonds of friendship formed here carryover throughout the year with some forming “tribes” and traveling together year round.

The main circle is where people gather for the seminars. This was day one of the ten day event.

This is also a place to come to meet “famous” YouTube nomads like Eric and Jax from Nomadic Fanatic, and Pandamonium.

We also saw Jed from Into The Mystery, Jamie from Enigmatic Nomadics, Kevin from Campervan Kevin, and Brian from Adventure Van Man.

We aren’t camping there now but may move our camp down there for the final weekend. It is a great energetic atmosphere with a lot of like minded people.
