Imperial Dam LTVA & Senator Wash BLM Camping | Yuma, AZ

[@rpodadventure]

Awesome video. It's so nice to see another dog loving woman out exploring the world on her own.

[@marymoran2289]

Your doing such a great job on your videos! You have grown so much as a story teller. Love it!

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Thank you so much!

[@theburtseoni]

Watch out for those low lying areas during rain storms Sarah, that water can creep up on you quickly! I hope you have a really good new year in your travels and visits to different parts of the country!

[@RWX348]

Bingo! You hit the jackpot with this one.😃

[@kenogster3059]

That place looks AWESOME! On the bucket list for sure.

[@birdlady2725]

I think there is a special year long pass for $75 for that area you stayed at. You still have to move every 14 days, but, if you can afford it, it is worth having 'options'. Up top where everyone is at, get Super Windy! Down in the wash, you are more protected. The thing that frustrates me, is the rv's n motorhomes that park by the restrooms so fewer spaces for car campers etc. I do recycled drink bottles for p. Cedar shavings for #2 that goes in trash. I dump jugs at blueboy station in QZ or down sewer at LTVA. So don't have to be by a restroom. *just dont dump into porta potty, they can fine you if caught, besides, super easy the other way. BTW, your Jumbalaya looks Scrumptious!!

[@joybajza7751]

Really enjoy your Mello vibe. Always learning from you. Thank you! Your one of my go to happy videos sending Peace Love Joy

[@vangoodwin7335]

I would say Good Day Miss Sarah but you called Lil" One selfish and I just cannot believe it! So good to see our Lovely Ladies happy and smiling! On top of making great videos as advertisements for locations you are truly showing the world where the best spots are for meditation. Anyone can show a mountain view or a mountain lake and be serene, but Miss Jeepsy takes us to the desert and LIVES! Maybe I am just one of the few that appreciate some time in the arid regions? It does my heart good to see you smiling and Lil' One running free. The greatest benefit of small dogs; you don't have to throw a ball far to play with them! With much Love and Respect Miss Sarah, You are in my prayers and gratitude! Hoka Hey

[@deaconmma3048]

Lord that water looked like a great place to fish!! W.P.- grab a fishing pole & do a fishing video!!! Thumbs up as always happy new year!!

[@kenp9469]

You're a nice enough person. No reason nice people would not talk to you. But just remember, for those who do not talk to you. Their loss, not yours.

[@robertedwards7430]

You dont need to get dolled up dear. I think most people would agree you look amazing. Most full timers arent typically vain or worried about if they look their absolute best, they are too busy living their best life!

[@LifeWithLeMaige]

I lived in Yuma and campaigned there. I love it and miss it! Thanks for sharing!!

[@twoweary]

@@LifeWithLeMaige what were you running for ?😁

[@CindyinArizona]

I thought that Jeep and trailer looked familiar, I watched Jeff and Campulance Man go to the beet harvest. Jeff spent a few days in Walmart parking lot fixing his rear axle bearing. Glad you got to camp with some new friends. You sure found a beautiful spot to camp.

[@Moshe777]

I'm sad that I missed you. I'm in the LTVA in the Coyote Ridge at the end of Ferguson Rd past the Christian Center. Glad you enjoyed your stay here at the Senator Wash North Shore area. It is peaceful there at the lake (except when the weekend local crowd comes... they like to be noisy and play loud music). Glad you didn't have that experience of loud neighbors. Have a safe trip back to Quartzsite.

[@Cojiii1959]

Hi Sarah! Glad you are safe ! That Yuma area has gotten a little bit sketchy near the border with all the illegal crossings. So, I’m glad you’re OK. As always God bless you on your travels.

[@simonKagree]

Yep, I know of Jeff and Bear from their travels cross country with David and his dog buddy Lefty -- always amusing. Lefty talks all the time. It would drive Li'l One nuts.

[@michelleellis8201]

Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s we used to camp at Senators Wash right on the water. GOOD TIMES!! Awesome memories! I must put that on my camping list for sure. I doubt I can remember how to get there but I know I can find directions easy 😊👍. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels. 😊❤️

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Looks like a nice area along with some fellow travelers. Thanks for the location info and video descriptions, WJ.

[@DannyB-cs9vx]

Paying for water and dump can be cheaper than a LTVA. A friend in Quartzsite figures she can get water, and dump for $15 a month. If you are just staying a month or two, a LTVA will cost you more, (something like $40). Long term pricing works out to $160 / 6 months is $26.60 per month. Larger rigs seem to benefit more from not needing to have to move, Travel trailers / 5th wheels in particular, as you have transportation once the trailer is dropped.

[@birdlady2725]

$180, but a great deal if you are not up to moving every 14 days. The convienience of trash, water n dump stations are great - plus, you can still travel to other LTVA's on the pass or go to BLM. It is an inexpensive option to have 🙂 As always, be safe n have fun!

[@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw]

All the doggies and a few cool humans, and your jambalaya. And quiet neighbors. Sounds great to me! 🐕🐕‍🦺🍲

[@mrein8718]

Beautiful video Sarah, and your jambalaya was awesome!!

[@davec9244]

Nice job thank you ALL stay safe

[@MacATX]

Super helpful for a new guy … difficult to know what’s out here, your videos have been helpful … thanks

[@Mi13-j7m]

Dogs are better than people most times, Have fun, Tom T Hall My Hero's have always been Highways

[@sonny1597]

I had a similar occurance in that area .. I was at the Laguna FamCamp at the base and they wouldn't allow me to stay because I had a dry toilet .. they had never heard of such a thing. So I was not allowed to stay .. off I went to the next FamCamp and the dry toilet was a non-issue .. as it has been at all the Famcamps I have visited .. weird! I'm heading west again right after New Years .. not sure where but I have have lots of options. 🤠

[@billquailes7882]

Thank you - Another well done video - That LTVA is my favorite spot, of course I stay "on top" in my motorhome. My camping friends tell me is crowded this year. I have not been the for the past couple of years because of family obligations.

[@Scotty-CVN69]

A rolling stone gathers no moss….Atta Gurl. I took a year off from the road. Fixing to gather everything up and put it in the wind again. I’ll be in that part of the desert until March. I’m excited to get out of the rain!

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed again, Sarah and Little one

[@chrisloo5249]

U give me a lot of good information. I'm going to start my journey in the next month...

[@4wdboss230]

Great video, i first heard of your channel through Wonderhussy. I live close to there due to work, look me up next time your there and i can give you a tour around the area. Dont camp below the high water mark at Senators Wash, you could wake up to your jeep in the water. The Dam uses it for storing water, or pulling water out. 😎

[@karenking2742]

Thanks!

[@Donkern621]

I love this area can't beat the price 180 for 7 months, not self contained so me and my dogs are camping across from the restrooms , I spend a lot of time down on the north shore Love it down there, yes I also love the sound of the Coyote's Singing 😁

[@markshietze4783]

❤ outstanding ! I'm glad to see you doing so well , Jeepsy 😊 Lilgurl seems happy ❤🎉 keep up your Good work

[@williamhansonjr]

Love your videos! This one brought back a lot of fond memories as I was stationed for a time at Yuma Proving Ground. Great recreation area also with Colorado River nearby.

[@tomfrost-u8l]

Looks like you really enjoyed the area, im headed that way in a few days!

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

You should try the turnpike across from the LTVA office to the north shore. Lot's to explore. 👍 Rock on 🙂

[@beeamerica5024]

Yep when I go to the dog park it's to meet the doggies the people are secondary 🤓😉🐝

[@erinhenry80]

I live in Yuma! We camp on the backside of Senators and the restroom is just yards away and we camp at Sqaw Lake too!! ❤

[@mazzie9663]

Are there lots of snakes there? Terrified of them.

[@jennyadams6327]

Hey Sarah & lil one, u rock love watching your videos 😊

[@gregzeigler6244]

It's odd to see everything still green with leaves still on the trees. The gentleman with the little trailer is kinda the setup I was thinking about for when I decide to head that way. Extra storage for water if I load it out right. Keep those absolutely beautiful videos and pictures coming Sarah and give little one hugs from me 😊

[@le_th_]

The burst of beautiful that came out of your face when you walked over to pet Little One was really quite striking, especially when you giggled. You can see that Little One is going to protect your "home" while you're busy filming. Sweet to see your connection with one another.

[@Touch0fR3d]

Who else got the maddddd Final Fantasy vibes from the music? Love you lady. Hope the Universe is being kind to you. Peace, Love, and Abundance.

[@Terri-AK-AZ]

Hi. Been gone awhile .and I'm in AZ too.I just moved down for grandkids from alaska.always love your vidios❤

[@BigFireDave]

I have often wondered why you dont have a little trailer. I spent about 6 weeks in one on a long trip. in a little teardrop trailer towed behind a Chevy HHR A teardrop is just a tiny little trailer big enough to sleep in and the very back opens up to cook. Light enough that if I got in a tight place where GPS said there was a highway I could take it loose , get the car turned arround and then turn the trailer arround and hook it back up by hand.

[@douglashall2141]

How is thought it was funny how Chihuahuas don't realize they were so small. I appear to have no fear. But sometimes they're just saying hi.😊

[@terry4O]

So nice to see how things look in person. Have you ever checked out Quail Hill BLM on Senator Wash Rd at Imperial Rd?

[@donwilliams6879]

I use a similar shower tent. I also use a laundry detergent bottle painted flat black. A few hours in the sun and I have a hot shower. I'm going to do my best to find your spot when I'm out that way this winter. Great video. Thanks

[@williammunford476]

Thank you Sara cool vidieos merry Christmas happy new year be safe ❤❤😂😂😊😊

[@randomdudedot1580]

What a wonderful video. I really enjoyed the scenery, great info and your oh so pleasant personality. Thank you for sharing!

[@DrewbyTuesday-ou8bt]

Love ya Boo❤️

[@threewheelingwithgene4254]

Thanks for showing us Yuma. I was kind of wondering what it was like down there

[@douglashall2141]

Back in the 1800s there was a prison there in Yuma. And there was also a reservation near Yuma for the Native Americans who surrendered to the government. It was said that the area of Yuma was always hot and very detestable as far as living. But I believe they were actually talking about the prison itself

[@windbrook]

The Senator Wash looks awesome compared to the upper LTVA. I ordered a BLM camping booklet and looked it up. It is saying it is $15. Is that for the entire 14 days you can stay or is it per night. It’s not really clear but I’m thinking it is per night because in the other fee areas it lists $40/14 days and is specific for the time period and fee. Still at $15/night it would be worth it to be right on the water like you are. I’m planning to come down to Quartzite and other areas next winter and will definitely try to get to Senator Wash! Love your adventures!!

[@wanderingjeepsy]

$15 a night or $75 for the a whole year. But you can only camp for 14 days at a time, then leave and come back

[@favorflavor707]

If you have some sandy shore or beach area you can fix the water, shower situation. Remember Cody Linden, Dual Survival. Dig a hole bucket deep near waters edge and let water filter from source to your hole threw sand then gather and pore water threw cloth into container. It’s a challenge to bring all that gear that is so useful. The jeep with the trailer had a good idea, just match your differential gear ratio accordingly 4.88 or 5.29. Them gears will drop your top speed but will transform your machine into a beastly Power Wagon💪🤙

[@AmputeeAdventureChannel]

We were here when you came through :)

[@bkbland1626]

It's like 72 miles from Yuma to Quartzsite. You drive pretty fast

[@donwilliams6879]

Safe travels to all. Maybe our paths will cross at the RTR in Quartzite.

[@tedbecker7484]

Thank you for sharing. I've always wanted to go and check out that place too. I'm going thank you.

[@hb3368]

$180 Sept 16th thru April 16th = months. I got here from my first time visit in the middle of February I purchased 1 14 days pass then went to BLM free 14 Day stay This time I was planning on spending May and June at imperial dam. Next year I plan to buy the full pass but I found some free camping areas that I really like secluded😂❤ Lot's of spots near Quartzsite that are great and plenty of services in town.

[@MarkUpshaw-xd1kh]

Morning, child hope your day is a good one,

[@timetraveler1128]

Hi. Was an original subscriber. Glad to find you again thanks to the YT not-so-random algorithm. Good fishing down that way.

[@JonHassellProphecy]

i was just in yuma, great shopping,

[@markpearson9085]

It's just fine up top, people are very nice . I would say go to quartzite it's better

[@garylafreniere9194]

❤ hello Sara I saw you and your friend with the goat Kate is it? I subscribed to her channel. Thank you for introducing her to me. You made yourself a great friend. Keep on Jeeping your friend Gary.❤❤

[@lutherlutes7568]

Exquisite !!!

[@junkdfw2112]

If you pay $160. for LTVA in Yuma, will that same permit also work in Quartzsite ?

[@wanderingjeepsy]

Yep

[@favorflavor707]

It’s good to see your living the 🌺🌴Dream 🌴🍀

[@DaveJones-vm2fp]

Hey wandering Jeep’s, you sure do get around, slab city yesterday and Yuma today. They called you Sarah, how come I don’t know your name. Any way I’ve been keeping up with you of late. Your videos scenery which is what I like the most.a lot of these tubers show videos of them opening a fed X package or eating a hamburger. They know who they are.❤

[@martycarlson4503]

We were just wondering where Jeff and Bear were. Hadn't seen either one of them on The Campulance Man's channel. Good to see them doing well. Any way maybe we will run into you again up near Q next month. Take care.

[@sonjamher8783]

How cool, you're in my hometown. Yuma has grown tremendously in the years that I've lived in Las Vegas. If you have the chance, you should try to visit the Territorial Prison Museum and Algodones MX. Safe travels

[@sharkmedia5969]

I believe it’s 7 months for $180. Sept 15-Apr 15

[@richardrichard9953]

410 to Yuma

[@tommysimmons5266]

Should have crossed the river got off the 2nd exit follow the steel power lines road for 25 miles. Delivered the sea wall for that state park. Took 5 hours to get there

[@geogypsytraveler]

Senator wash looks way more appealing than the LTVA. Thanks I'll keep that in mind.

[@crspep]

I used to work upstream a ways around Laughlin/Bullhead City & the gnats would make it miserable if you were anywhere near the water. Of course, it seemed that it was always blazing hot when I was there, so it was probably closer to summer.

[@TheBlackDog73]

Jeepsy is easy on the eyes!

[@remirez2k3]

funny detail years ago i lived with my half brother in yuma itself it gets hot in the summer but is a beautiful place

[@JeffreyJordan-gw9vt]

It's $180.00 for 7 months, September 15th to April 15th, they say it may go up to $300.00 next year. I am currently up on Blueberry Hill.

[@thinkingkingdomthoughts]

Awes😮ome video! That place is gorgeous! When my health gets better, I’d love to go to Quartsite or better yet the spot you showed

[@JimArnold-t1n]

Happy. new. Year. I love your spunky attitude. Safe travels and come to. Ky

[@LuvStLCards]

I am going to Arizona next week and I can not wait to explore! Senator Wash seemed so peaceful and for some reason it’s calling me. Maybe it’s the dog zen 🧘. I’m going to only going to be there a week but I might have to visit that area for a day. Thanks for sharing! You’re #1 fan is the cutest btw ❤

[@stephend.mixell2042]

Nice to see you and little one again enjoying the wide-open spaces. Quiet neighbors are always the best kind to have without a drought. Do you plane on a calendar this year? Well take care and happy trails.

Hey, you know that spot approaching Quartzite on WB I-10 (La Paz Co) where there's a hole in the silhouette of the mountains to the East (approx. 33.570904, -113.876463). Is there anything up there? Did Victor Villasenor write about it (I forget the book, tho)? I feel like it needs a video and refreshed story 🤔🤣👍

[@mj420x]

Welcome to yuma. You have some pretty awesome hair

[@davidleggitt4687]

It's a year since this came out and I heard that the lava is now 600.00 bucks for the season now at least in cortsite

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

Very nice place

[@rswfire]

Beautiful Jeep!

[@steppenwolf93able]

I am working on my dream of hauling my Harley to the countries best rides. I invested in a one ton truck and a 20’ enclosed cargo trailer. We had record snowfall in Duluth Mn and it caved my roof in on the trailer. It will delay me for a while.

[@EfficientRVer]

While in the Yuma area, did you park on the Q reservation and walk into Los Algodones again, or am I thinking of someone else who shopped there a couple of years ago? I remember them mentioning their age, and being too young to have been Wonderhussy. ;-) I'm trying to think of something witty to say about Jeff showing up. I've narrowed it down to two candidates. Glad to see Bear is doing well. And paraphrasing from Back to the Future: Well, lookee who we have here.

[@Wes1487]

Awesome video! I have never seen this video from that area fantastic video. Check out the Cattle Tank /Park Links area located off of I 10 Marana AZ

[@julierawlins5984]

You are such a cool person of course you will make friends everywhere you go. You have 33.5k so far.

[@mazzie9663]

We want to come out there for the upcoming winter 2024-25. Saw all these notices about rattlesnakes. Have you encountered any snakes while staying there? Thanks and wish you safe and happy journeys.
