Quartzsite RV Parks: 10 Hookup Parks, La Posa LTVA and Free BLM (2026–27)

La Posa is 11,400 acres of flat desert on both sides of US-95, starting about two miles south of town. It is split into four areas: La Posa North, South, West and Tyson Wash. Unlike the free BLM land, it has services: 10 vault toilets, 8 water faucets, a dump station with water, a dry dump, trash collection, and a ramada with a dance floor.

The $180 permit is also valid at every other LTVA in Arizona and California, including Imperial Dam near Yuma. In 2024 the BLM Yuma Field Office proposed raising the fees to $600 long-term and $200 short-term. As of this week, the BLM's La Posa page still lists $180 and $40, so that is the 2026–27 price unless the BLM publishes a change. Check the fee at the host station when you arrive. Non-self-contained units are allowed at La Posa, which is not true at most LTVAs.
