Whether you're planning a single visit or coming back multiple times a year, enjoy the convenience of purchasing a pass before you arrive to cover recreation-related fees at Bureau of Land Management sites. Learn more about site-specific digital pass options at the Yuma Field Office and buy your pass.
The LTVA long term permit ($180) allows use of Bureau of Land Management designated LTVAs continuously from September 15th to April 15th (a total of 7 months), or for any length of time between those two dates. The LTVA short-visit permit ($40) allows use of Bureau of Land Management designated LTVAs for any 14 consecutive day period from September 15th to April 15th, which begins on the day the permit receipt is exchanged for the official permit and decal. The short-visit permit may be renewed an unlimited number of times for the cost of the permit. LTVA permits are valid at all of the Bureau of Land Management LTVAs.
Exit Interstate 10 at the city of Quartzsite, AZ. Take highway 95 south to the four La Posa LTVAs (North, South, West, and Tyson Wash). The LTVA entrances are approximately 2 miles south of town.
From April 16th through September 14th, the fee is $10 per vehicle for day-use, $15 per vehicle for overnight use, or $75 annually per vehicle, for up to 5 people per vehicle. There will be a $1 fee charged for each person over the 5 person limit. The maximum stay is 14 days in a 28-day period.
Visitors must pay daily fees or purchase annual permits at the Yuma Field Office, on site, or here: https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/eb34b293-bd2b-4120-b6fa-c18be8184a67
For as much as anyone has to pay here, it isn't safe. Most bathrooms can't lock or close at all and they MAY stop by once a week to even clean them. There's people who also camp by the bathrooms, the same bathrooms that can't even close at all times. They don't have toilet paper 90% of the time and there's no way to see where you are even going unless you bring lights. People have nearly hit other people, there's many druggies and drinks that can stumble around so overall it isn't safe especially for children. Wouldnt recommend staying here unless you bring your own bathroom and have the proper tools to defend yourself. Also should bring a form of security so you and your belongings are safe.
La Posa north is part of the LTVA system and has bathrooms and trash. 180 dollars for the seasonal stay (Sept - April). Hosts are volunteer and are nice.
Stayed in Tyson Wells section. Quiet, clean, and well maintained. Look to be putting in 4 position dump station.
Clean bathrooms!! Quiet site. Close by the Tyson Wells and other shows. We tent at the site, cold but 😎
