Tickets for 2026 Truck Camper Adventure Quartzsite Rally Now on Sale!

Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Truck Camper Adventure Quartzsite Rally. Hosted by Truck Camper Adventure, this is the largest and probably the best truck camper rally in America. In February 2025, we hosted 412 truck campers and expect even more campers and interest in 2025.

CLICK THE EVENTBRITE LINK HERE TO BUY YOUR TICKET NOW. 

IMPORTANT: TICKETS ARE SOLD BY CAMPER NOT BY PERSON. THIS MEANS COUPLES NEED TO BUY ONLY ONE TICKET. 

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 11 to February 15, 2026 with the check-in scheduled for February 11 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.

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 of their fresh water holding tanks and empty all waste tanks prior to the rally. No hookups and other amenities will be provided. Pack it in, pack it out. A few portable toilets, however, will be provided for the convenience of those attending classes far from their campers.

WE WILL ALSO ACCEPT LAST-MINUTE WALK INS AND WILL ACCEPT THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MEET UP WITH VENDORS.

ONE-DAY PASSES WILL ALSO BE SOLD FOR $25.00, BUT THESE PERSONS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SATURDAY NIGHT RAFFLE. 

The following vendors will be onsite: Lance Campers, Host Campers, Adventurer/Scout, Kingstar Campers, Torklift International, The Off-Road Safety Academy, Elevation Off Grid, Bowen Customs, LiquidSpring, Adv Mobil, Outpost Campers, StableCamper, Tembotusk Vatrer Batteries, SkyMed, For The Health of Our Pets, and Cool RV Everything.
