Camping in the dessert and a flea market - OK

Camping is what you expect in the dessert. There is a place for drinking water and dumps. However.... We arrived to the rudest, most obnoxious attendant when we tried to check it. MAKE SURE you arrive with a Printed (phone QR code) not good enough. If you need to get a printout of your online payment, you will have to drive to Luv's truck stop and ask the service desk- you email them your online payment and they print it out for$2. But wait there is more. I went back and the un-nice ranger lady now told me I have to go 2 miles down to Tyson Wash with my new printed info and get them to issue my stickers and paper receipt. So, why can't they just scan your QR code from your phone at ever campground in the complex and register you? Hey, just like getting on an airplane, going to the movies, boarding a train, or visiting a museum......

Free & Walking Distance to Town

Dispersed camping for a nominal fee ($40 for 14 days; $180 for 7 months from Sept 15-April 15; free during the summer months) and within walking/biking distance of town, though you can hear the incessant hum of Interstate 10 on the northern most end of this area.

Services available on-site include a few pit toilets and trash dumpsters. By paying the fee, you also have access to both potable/non-potable water and a sewage dump at La Posa South, just a few miles down Hwy 95. You are allowed to stay in one place during the duration of your stay, or move around the region.

Be sure to register at the BLM office at the entrance to this area.

Gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and very easy access to hiking and OHV trails. Sunrises and sunsets are endless and jaw dropping! Easy access back into town for food, gas, firewood, laundry, and just about anything an RVer or camper could need.
