When winter comes, it is time for many full-time RVers and snowbirds to move south in the warmer seasons. There are many free camp opportunities in the southwestern part of the USA. These are the range of free RV parks operated in the city to attract tourists to the vast desert where they can stay for several months.
Quartz site, Arizona
Quartz site is probably the most popular snowbird place in the country. Every winter, this small town in the middle of this desert explodes into what approaches a small city, as hundreds of thousands of RVers arrive for rock shows and RV shows. If you want to be around many other full timers or snowbirds, Quartzsite may be exactly the same as what you are looking for.
There are five BLM distributed campgrounds and a long visitor area (LTVA) within a few miles from the town. For $ 180, from September to April you can stay in two LTVA areas in Arizona. If it is not your thing to keep it for a long time, you can stay for 14 days every 28 days for free in a dispersed campground.
Carlsbad, New Mexico
Everyone knows the Carlsbad Cave, did you realize that there are plenty of BLM lands in areas where camp scattered all at once at once is legal? Not only Carlsbad Caverns but also a great tourist attraction in this area. However, if you enjoy hiking, climbing, or cave, this area has many recreational opportunities.
It gets a bit chilly at night, but the temperature in the daytime is high, and in the Guadalupe range there are great hiking and cave exploration opportunities. Unlike Quartzsite, you can camp on a place where you can not extend another campers or cars at one time.
Padre Island, Texas
Perhaps your style is a beach. What is better than camping on the beach in southern Texas? At Padre Island National Seashore, camping for up to 14 days is possible. The transit pass is 10 dollars in 7 days, so it's not free, but it's pretty close. Padre Island is the most untapped undeveloped barrier island in the world.
Let's consider the last statement. Imagine now that you can not camp on warm sandy beaches and see high-rise apartments and hotels. If you get tired from the desolated beach, head towards Port Aransas and head north and camp on the beach at the limit of the city for several days!
These are just a few of the possibilities of this winter. In the southwest part from California south to Texas there are many spots where many snowbirds will return home every winter and winter. Certainly, you can go to the destination RV Park and spend the winter in one place. Alternatively, you can spend some fuel and stay in some of the wonderful free campgrounds in public land.
