Long-Term Visitor Areas (LTVAs) are designated public lands in the southwestern United States managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These areas are designed to accommodate full-time or seasonal nomads, van dwellers, RVers, and other long-term campers.
An LTVA is not a private organization. It is a federal program managed directly by the BLM, a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior. These sites offer minimal infrastructure (vault toilets, trash dumpsters, water fill stations, dump stations) and allow extended stays during the cooler months.
