One classification covers many different sites
BLM manages 73 boat-access campsites across roughly 20 miles of Arizona shoreline. The recreation page classifies the overall destination for swimming; it does not say every individual site has a designated swim zone.
Day use and overnight are priced separately
The published $10 day-use fee is separate from the additional $10 overnight charge for a group of up to six. Additional people are $2 each; children under 16 are listed as free. BLM also lists a $100 annual pass for the sites.
