Stick to the roads to avoid bottoming out. And avoid driving across them, especially if you have a low clearance rig. It’s very hard to imagine them as raging torrents of water, but it can definitely happen. Stay on safe groundīe sure also to keep your rig out of the “washes” (dry stream beds) or too close to them. Just accept the dust, though, as it is part of the adventure, and plan on a thorough cleaning after leaving. As cars, trucks, RVs, and OHVs travel through the areas stirring things up, that NW wind will (sort of/sometimes/maybe) take the dust away from you. We found that the prevailing winds are fairly consistent out of the NW, so one should use that fact to help pick a site that is upwind, and maybe on the west side, of any road you may be near. The advantages of the LTVA’s are a two-lane dump station, a separate “blue-boy” tote dump station, four potable water fill stations (both of those at the La Posa South LTVA), and trash dumpsters available in each LTVA area.Īnother thing to know is that this place is DUSTY, pretty much everywhere! Our coach and toad are both going to need a serious cleaning inside and out, top to bottom!

Camping in the 14-day BLM camping areasĪt the BLM 14-day areas, there are campground hosts near the entrances to check you in. The LTVA areas are La Posa North, La Posa West, La Posa South, and La Posa Tyson Wash.įree is always great, but the long term paid option has its advantages, too. ![]() The permits are also accepted at other LTVA’s in Arizona and California. The cost is either $40/two weeks, (which can be extended), or $180 for the entire season. In the LTVA’s you can stay September through April for a very reasonable fee. Then, you have the BLM Long Term Visitor Areas (LTVA’s) just south of the town, on both the east and west sides of Highway 95.
