2023 TCA Quartzsite Rally Sold Out - Itinerary and Attendee List Finalized

The 2023 Truck Camper Adventure Quartzsite Rally is now SOLD OUT. With 400 truck campers, this will be largest truck camper rally ever held, surpassing last year’s record of 240 campers. If you missed out on getting tickets to this outdoor event, don’t fret. You can place your name on the Eventbrite waitlist by clicking the orange “reserve a spot” button. Being added to the waitlist does not guarantee that you will be able to purchase a ticket in the future. It only allows you to purchase an individual ticket after a ticket holder backs out.

Aside from the number and variety of truck campers, the 2023 rally in Quartzsite, Arizona will be extra special with several vendors, live music, and a large 20 x 40-foot canopy to keep attendees out of the sun during the classes. Like previous Truck Camper Adventure rallies, this outdoor camping event will be held at the Roadrunner Wash Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Area, 6 miles south of Quartzsite (see maps below). Truck Camper owners will be attending from all over the United States including Canada. All types of truck campers will be represented at the rally, including slide-in campers, truck toppers, chassis-mounted campers, and camper shells as well as those who own DIY and vintage restored campers.
