La Posa South BLM Long Term Visitor Area (LTVA)

This is a great place to spend the winter months, at this location there is a clothing optional section, and that is where I prefer to stay. People are very friendly and there are some awesome hiking trails that are within the borders of the clothing optional area. There is water trash and a dumping station just a mile and a half from the clothing optional area right now it costs $40 for 2 weeks or $180 for 7 months. But there are rumors that rates may go up. But they've been saying that for the past couple years

True blm land. $40 for 2 weeks. $180 from September 15 through April 15. Provided water, trash, and dump area. Spotty internet the further back you go.

Where else can you boondock for 7 months for $180? Out of the four LTVA areas in Quartzsite, I stayed at LTVA North (last Winter) and LTVA South (this Winter). I plan to come here every Winter now that I’m retired. Rumors of price increase, no decision yet. If you like wide open desert, awesome Winter weather (50-80º usually), lots of sun, lots of space (11,800 acres), very little rain (rare), you owe it to yourself to go there.

First trip here and have met some really great people. Have seen some amazing local wildlife too.

People, they have to go and pay somebody to remove the trash. They also have to pay somebody to go and remove the gray water. And they have to bring in fresh water for everyone to use. This is not a free-for-all. And because of the abuse that people have been putting on this place, they've actually restricted the hours and posted guards around the dump site and trash to make sure that people aren't free-loading. Also the water has guards around it as well, all with very good cause.

I paid my dues and heard that the water was out at one point because of people freeloading. If you steal from the place, they most likely will arrest you.

If you're just stopping by to use the resources, call and see if they can give you a day pass. I haven't done that and I can't tell you if they would allow you to have a day pass or not.

Other than that it's a nice wide open place with nearly infinite camping spots.

I stayed from January to April.

Didn't camp here, but did utilize the facilities offered to long term campers. Great to have a free place to dump tanks and fill water. While water is potable, it's salinated, so I don't drink it. Fill my tank to use for dishes, flushing, etc. 

Big dumpsters, easy access in and out. Can get busy in January.

Nice. Quiet. Lacking a bit on the social side. Gets quiet after 7 PM. Too quiet.

This was are first time with our rig out 38ft easy drive through, they let us stay one night no charge. We stayed between the nudist area and family lol

Spacious. Garbage, water, and dump at a great price ($180 for 7 months).

I like this LTVA because it’s far enough from I10 that you don’t hear traffic, yet easy driving distance to town. Pit toilets are good for those that don’t have black tanks.

First time camping on BLM land and we like it. Plenty of wide open space, you can camp near the entrance or far back in the area depending on your preferences. There are minimal services such as water, trash disposal and dump stations. Proximity depends on where you camp. Upside is that RVs are able to spread out; downside is it isn’t as easy to meet fellow campers.

This is Long Term Visitor Assoc. camping on BLM land. $180 for 7 months or $40 two weeks. There are trash receptacles, water and dumping. It is camping in the desert.

The good: water, trash, dump are all available here. Very level ground. The bad: people. So many people. The price you pay for the good.

We boondocked at this location in January and found the weather reliving from the cold north.  There is water, dump and garbage available upon entering/exiting the property.  There is a large expanse of desert to choose were to set up.  We paid $40.00 for 2 weeks and enjoyed every moment of being in the desert.  I will give some advice.  When choosing a spot, look at other RVs in the immediate area, if they have a generator sitting next to the rig, move on.  We moved 2 times before finally finding a spot were we did not have to listen to a noisy generator for hours on end, if not overnight.

This desert BLM is awesome! Affordable. Trash and water available and lots of space to camp and roam the desert

We found our stay here very pleasant. Everyone we talked to was kind and friendly. Will definitely be back next season.

This place has everything! Open desert boondocking mixed with the basic amenities needed like water, trash and sewer.

We love boondocking and spending two weeks in Quartzsite during the January RV show was amazing. Be prepared for large crowds but you’ll have a blast!

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 just 4 miles outside of town. You cannot hear either Interstate 10 or Hwy 95 if you choose a site close to the mountains. Services available on-site include a few pit toilets, trash dumpsters, potable/non-potable water and a sewage dump. 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.
