Along the Colorado River near the California-Arizona border, Yuma LTVA sits in open desert terrain with no shade cover, making it a winter-only destination for most visitors. The BLM long-term visitor area permit runs $180 for the season (September 15 through April 15) or $40 for 14 days, and includes water, showers, and free gray and black water disposal. Sites are dispersed across a wide, exposed landscape that can see significant wind. Wild burros are present in the area. The campground handles RVs up to 45 feet and works well for long-stay winter campers who want low-cost amenities and access to camping spots near Winterhaven. Nearby, Senator Wash South Shore provides another BLM option along the same corridor.
