Check-Ins

What a wonderful place to stay! The road up is rought but so worth it. We stayed in Clemens’ Garden for two nights and loved it! The garden is gorgeous and Clemens so welcoming. He opened a room for us to use for toilet + shower (hot water). His son Paul was not around but Clemens took almost half a day and showed us the farm and even brewed some coffee for us after. We paid 10USD per night for the vehicle and 10,000Tzs per person for the coffee tour which we thought was more than fair!

Excelente lugar, já estamos aqui há duas noites, calmo, tranquilo, seguro!

Muito bom! Recomendo. 1000 pesos por ducha quente, free Wi-Fi, água e energia free. Recomendo!

Beautiful campground. It’s busy but mostly quiet, everyone is respectful and friendly. Bathrooms are decent. Our dogs loved this place. It is not too far from Vegas but away enough to feel far from the chaos of the city. Will be coming back.

Nice spot close to the road, but really quite. Not really flat, but if you come early you can choose the best parking spot.
Really nice view on the valley and the upper crystal springs reservoir !
No signification to say no parking at night, some benches to watch the beautiful view

lindo lugar cerca de un puente antiguo de hierro

One of the absolute best campings in Brazil and at a ridiculously low price, for what you get. You get your spot, in it you get a table, light, power, water. There are AMAZING common areas where you can hang out or do some computer work, as I did. The breeze and the high roof made of leaves makes it relatively cool. The one above is much nicer in the evenings because the breeze keeps the mosquitoes away.

The only down side? The beach, while BEAUTIFUL is not great for anything except a quick dip. The waves break too close to shore and they smash you into the ground. You can't catch em and when you go under, you get covered with sand. Going north along the shore, there's a more protected side, but still nothing to write home about. If only this AMAZING camping could be next to one of the better beaches, I'd wanna stay here for a month.

super petit camping avec toutes les commodités nécessaires. la famille sur place est très accueillante, et n'hésite pas à vous donner des conseils. ils peuvent aussi laver votre linge (60Q pour 2 machines). nous avons payé 125Q / nuit pour 4 avec electricité. on a pu se remplir un peu d'eau en partant car on était a sec, mais pas énormément de pression, et pas a volonté. le proprio nous a demandé de ne remplir qu'une cuve sur les 2 que nous avons car il ramène l'eau en citerne. le camping est a 10min a pied (en montant un peu) du début du marché.

Amazing Campground. Get there early in the morning for a spot, we drove through at 8.45am and it was full for the night by 10.45am.
Toilets are clean and general store had some hot showers. Really close to the main rim trail.

No RV propane fill here. Parked right beside fill station and was told hose isn’t long enough.

We stayed for 4 nights. We did wheel for one day, but used this as a base camp for the hot springs area activities.

Exactly my kind of humor to post something online and call it "secret", LOL. Nah, but it’s like described, just ten minutes from the main road, super calm, friendly locals and after some days of beach with plenty of sand flies, a real blessing not being bitten by anything. Super for a night or two :)

We just drove into this lodge next to the road. There’s a village nearby and a lake. The staff allowed us to camp for the night. We paid a stipend. Nice under big mango trees. We had access to a loo and a lady brought us some water no other facilities but it was fine. Night guard was present. We paid him too. Very safe and quiet. Set off this morning.

Perfect spot away from the main road, and relatively quite. In the afternoon there is allot of shade as you are surrounded by cliffs. Downside is the amount of glass on the ground.

If you have a big rig, be careful on the way in. There some low hanging cables above the road from the main road to the farm.

Very beautiful place to stay. Lots of camping spots next to River. Each with their own bbq/fire pit area, table and outdoor light. Very clean bathrooms and wonderful hot showers! We arrived late in the day after a long drive from Santiago and the hosts were so kind to let us stay. (It is off season, was raining and our spanish is limited) He turned on the hot water for us and we had the place to ourselves. Would love to return in the Summer.

Thank you very much!

We didn't end up staying here. There weren't many camp spots in the first mile or so of the road, and you had to cross a large wash to get to sites further in. A local warned us that the area was prone to flash flooding! We moved a bit further down the road to the Apache Springs Campground. Perhaps there are better spots further in, but we decided not to risk it.

KUWAIT EXIT PERMITS
===================
Previous posters have given opening times for the office at Kuwait airport that issues green exit permits for those travelling overland to Iraq.

The upstairs office does indeed have restricted opening hours. But if it's closed, you'll see a counter diagonally opposite you to the right as you go through the main ground-floor entrance.

Go down the passageway behind the counter, and ask for a permit.

I checked, and they told me this service is available 24/7/365, so you don't need to worry about getting there before they close. It took about 15 minutes, and was free.

Small friendly hotel with warm showers. Cost 30,000 COP for one person per night. Let me keep my bicycle in the corridor to the gym downstairs

Great place to for the night and it’s free for RVs. 2 clean toilets with hot running water, and free WiFi.

A dream ! Nice sightseen, quiet even if the are some vehicules during the day.

Great guy, super friendly, they have a hose. This is my new go place in La Paz/Centenario since the other shop i used to go no longer provide services for rvs, vans etc. i paid 58 pesos for 80 liters

Been coming here for months. Pablo no longer accept RVs and vans. Go to Centenario instead, they have a hose there.

Not the best. Around 2am some cars rolled in and folks were yelling and honking their horns for a few hours! We definitely didn't get much sleep, and I expect that the many other rigs around us didn't either. I would pick somewhere else to sleep next time.

água potable de pozo muy profundo. todo el pueblo viene aquí por el agua pura para beber

I camped at a spot further along, but confirming this area is still here and open for use. :)

This is a tent only spot. Quiet although pretty close to the main road

Nice campsite which we had to ourselves. Cold showers, power at the site, toilets and lots of tables and chairs to use.
From the lane keep going up the hill past a couple of properties and it's at the back.

exellent option for many activities, treking, climb and complete information about the Andes Aventure in La Grita.

Beautiful area, but be forewarned, the spot at these coordinates has a TON of broken glass on the ground. Also multiple fire pits all within a 20 foot radius and a huge pile of ash full of broken glass. That pile was kind of in the way for parking a camper. We spent a bunch of time cleaning it up, moved the big pile by a tree etc. We didn't have a good way to haul it away or we would have. Do your part, here or anywhere else you camp...leave it in better shape than you found it.

A little bit old cabana with good bed and nice hot shower. 2 hot thermal bath 39 grd Celsius. We stayed for two hours in bath after a long hike from Cabanaconde. All included in price cabana. Diner was ok, breakfast a little simple. Only the owner is not really friendly.
