I only see one vault toilet by the hot springs. Is there really only one?
Estrada asked on 2/10/2021
Does anyone know if the hot springs are open as of now, or closed due to covid?

Yes, there's freeway noise.
Otherwise you can park any where you want.
Plenty of room between R VS.
Set up 4 snowbirds.
I definitely would come back. In the cool months as to enjoy the hot springs

The Highway Is Right Next To The Springs And The Sound Of The Trucks And The transformer. I Almost Got Stuck Looking To Park Away From The Noise, And I Didn’t Want To Walk A Long Distance To A From The Pool. So I Parked Closer To The Entrance.

North side is more rocky and not good for tent camping. South side is softer and better for tents. I’d give it a five, but having to drive into town to dump and get water nets it a four. But hey! It’s inexpensive here on BLM land.

LTVA north convenient to hot springs if you want/don't mind close neighbors. Fee requirement monitored.
LTVA south (of I8) is also a fee area but boundary is vague. Plenty of private space 1/4 mile away
Beware - even a little rain turns the desert powder into glue!

Early season is just fantastic here. I've been in the ltva South for about 21 days now. There is zero BLM Ranger presence, very thin crowds, lots of private spaces to camp and the roads are good, never a worry.

Early season is just fantastic here. I've been in the ltva South for about 21 days now. There is zero BLM Ranger presence, very thin crowds, lots of private spaces to camp and the roads are good, never a worry.
Been hitting in the hot springs by bicycle three times a day, well kept and clean, courtesy abounds.
I've heard this place will fill up towards January but for now it is paradise.
A bit of road noise off of Interstate but 1.5 miles south and you won't even hear it. I've been camping out towards the southern end of the ltva.
I've been filling up my water jugs at the spring itself, and running them through my reverse osmosis filter, no concerns on the water and my filters are still clean after 21 days.
Really enjoyed the area and always pack it in, pack it out.

The campground is well looked after. Mostly Canadian snowbirds. There is only one rude camper here with their cheap garbage generator and it runs 12 hours a day. Looks like a druggie...can't believe he isn't booted. Otherwise amazing campers.
Garbage dropoff bins. No water or sewage dump. Most anything you need can be found in Holtville just 10 minutes away.
Across the street is the hot springs. Been VERY busy this winter. It's the Fremont Street of hot springs for people watching. Most sociable hot spring anywhere! Seems to attract the biggest truth stretching story tellers anywhere around. It's hardly a secret anymore. If you visit during daylight expect someone within 2 feet of you on either side soaking. Before 9am or after sunset is far less busy.
If you have a Ca fishing license the canal beside the campground is FULL of good size bass.
Decent phone and digital tv signal
If road noise bothers you then this will not work for you.

Had no issues finding a place to park late at night, plenty of level spots. Lots of highway noise was constant so easy to fall asleep,tranquil otherwise. Great place for an overnight stay, felt very safe. Walked the dog in the morning and place was very clean and few campers. Cell tower was visible so good ATT service.

We moved inland, away from the highway, still can hear it but wasn’t too bad. Found a great spot between the bushes/trees. Very quiet place.
VZ reception closer to the Highway is 5G, we went further deep but still was very good for working/zoom meetings

Patty, thanks for stopping over. Your effort is amazing and appreciated.
The parking area to toilets is blocked by barriers. The BLM hot spring,LTVA is open, Karen is camp host at pilot knob, for permits. Take winterhaven exit she is in dark motorhome, past the Chevron.
The fines are 75$, the gates to hot springs are padlocks and chain.

There was a fire at the Hot Springs on Dec 18th 2020. It burned down some of the palm trees apparently:
"The Holtville Hot Springs fire can be seen not long after it ignited on Friday night, Dec. 18, when it burned eight acres of brush and the dense palm tree grove that shrouded the popular springs from public view. U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials said the cause of the fire was still under investigation on Wednesday, Dec. 23." ... " Although some structures, such as a public shower facility, are located at the BLM’s day-use area at the hot springs, they did not sustain any damage, the Imperial County Fire Department previously reported. The hot springs have been closed since March because of COVID-19, but the BLM’s long-term visitor area remains accessible to the public for camping, a BLM spokesperson said."
