Self contained at LTVA.

If you aren’t self contained then you have to camp so many yards from a bathroom.

We had no trouble in our group as long as one vehicle was self contained.  We told the rangers that we were all using the bathroom in the rv

I thought that too when I looked up the Hot Springs LTVA.  It says self contained only because the bathrooms were across the highway and considered too far away.  I'm thinking each one has their own specific rules.  There is a regular BLM area a few miles from the LTVA so unless you are planning on spending more than 2 weeks at that place then I'd just stay there...  then head up to the Slabs after that.
