Check-Ins

Dirt lot on the corner of the Alaskan highway and Mile 73 road. Enough room for probably 6 or 8 rigs depending on the size. Nothing special. Just a place to stop.

Camp Site 20.00 a night, you can hear the water fall near by

Exactly as reported. About 10 feet from the curb. Valve needs to be held down in order for water to flow, but worked fine.

Very nice big meadow on the top of small hill. It was dry even if every other places were uder the water. Very good internet. Very quiete. Good and dry acces road.

Drive first to lookout point: Belvedere di caranna Cisternino

From there you can find this place with google satelit.
Here it is more calm and a well hidden flat place. not for big rings. We was on a saturday here, and it was silent the whole night. Perfect place for one night.

Place for 2-3 Land Rover if you know each other ;-)

Lovely quiet hotel with smiling lady at reception, speaks english. Hotel in traditional style, hot shower. You can park your motorbike behind.
I paid 250 dirham, its in booking.

24hr location in a plaza. Very close to Winn Dixie and gas. Plenty of parking for stealth camping.

Car park of the sailing club, ask at the bar for permission, freely given. Great views over the lake, very quiet, but could be noisier later in the season. Fresh mulberries from the trees (in season). Restaurant in high season.

Second option to park overnight in public carpark outside the club boundary.

Great spot, bit noisy but fine for a night. Nice ocean views, all amenities. Small shop.

Visiting the pyramids needs a bit of planning to be able to enjoy it.

The one most important advice: Come as early as possible! You will avoid the crowds, the air is still nice and fresh, and all the hasslers haven’t arrived yet.

The gates open at 7am in the morning during summer. We were the first ones to enter the area and had the pyramids to ourselves for the first couple of hours.

Buy your ticket online before you arrive to avoid ticket scams at the gate (check Google Maps)

Ignore everyone and everything. Scammers will tell you, that the specific gate you chose only opens later/doesn‘t open at all, and you have to take their taxi to the other entrance. This is all a lie, of course. Be patient, stay friendly and hold your ground. This is Egypt. Gates will open not 7am sharp, but a few minutes later.

If you’re reasonably fit, avoid the camel herders/donkey cart riders/taxi drivers. Distances are not that far, you can easily walk around the whole compound to the far end. Going alone certainly gives you way more flexibility to snap photos. It helps to take advantage of the cooler morning air.

Note, that there are no „prohibited“ areas. You are free to move around the whole area and towards the desert, even if camel herders might claim otherwise. Just ignore them, they didn’t persist in our case.

Even around the pyramids themselves you can walk up to the very base. The only one obvious rule is, that you are not allowed to climb the pyramids themselves.

If you’re keen on photography, choose the Sphinx gate. Walk up to the Great Pyramid, then immediately head south through open area towards the 9 Pyramids lounge. This will ensure, that you have the sun coming from the right direction. The lounge will only open at 9am. Nobody will hassle you if you hang around at this time plus you‘ll get the classic shot of camels before pyramids, when all the herders drive up their camels at around 8am to the „official“ viewpoint (which you can skip, unless you want to do the touristy thing and get on a camel).

Beautiful spot provided by the local government free of charge ! Flat, clean, spotless toilets, with water. It seems to be primarily designed for tent campers, but we parked our Sprinter van in one of the allotted parking spaces and it did not seem to bother anybody. The parking spaces would be a little tight for a super big rig but we are 7m long and we managed to fit in Ok. The drive to the cape is awesome and views from the observatory are spectacular!

Nice little spot for watching flamingos and other wading birds

Pessoal muito bom.
Passamos uma semana consertando o motor e fomos muito bem atendidos.

Stopped on a Sunday to pay our park fees (with a camping booking made in advance at Baines Camp). There was one friendly guy working, it took a while but we were able to pay on card. 910BPW for one night for 2x SADC residents and a car. Our 7 year old didn’t have to pay!

PARK for camper, including electricity, water and restaurant on our lake

perfect location 10 € park and 10 € elecricity if you need

Huge local market for everything. Food, meat, clothes, shoes, fish, carpet etc. for locals. Many small restaurants. Open 7 days a week.

showers at the fuel station. we paid only 100 ARS per person! hot showers, good pressure. very clean and unbelievable cheap! friendly staff. highly recommended

Very Nice and clean place. We were with our 4WD with rooftent 10000 per night for 2 persons, Nice view over the sea. Clean toilet and shower hot water possible. You can have breakfast and diner have to order it day before. We had diner plantain, Rice and cricket 5000 pp
Lovely quiet place with friendly staff. Hé also charges our sim card, there is no wifi

We found this big flat open space next to some old ruins. Well hidden from the road, but you hear the trucks. Some women walked by in the evening, all friendly. Amazing view at the mountains.

Local excelente. Banheiros limpos cozinha lavanderia e churrasqueira.

On Ruta 40, in front of the tourist information office, you will find this place suitable for campervans and big rigs. Clean sanitary facilities, hot water available.

Attention! Today, in the Soriana parking lot, 3 guys tried to rob me with a gun. Maybe they wanted to take my truck. They tried to drag me into my truck, but I pushed the one with the gun away and asked for help. They ran away. There was an interesting detail. There was no one in the parking lot on the right side, but then an old red truck (I didn’t think of taking a photo of it) drove up very, very close to me and seemed to block the view. I think it's an accomplice. Zihuatanejo becomes unsafe.

We tried this place after crossing the boarder with Paraguay at night. I confirm there’s still a free camping area with toilets (a bit dirty and with some big spiders, we didn’t used it). We didn’t look after the showers. The gate was closed when we arrived on the road but we opened it ourselves.

The place was really peaceful and we have some great hours of sleep, but there’s soooo much mosquitos ! We had a roof tent, a lot of repelent and a net that kept us safe for the big ones but we had to leave after 3 hours of sleeping because of tiny tiny mosquitos and hundred of bites… We didn’t manage to stop them.

So we don’t recommend this place until you have a perfect isolation.

Gia provides safe storage for vehicles and has garage for motorcycles, also has accommodation as well, nice lady very friendly, speaks great english, +507 6659-8914 (Gias Whatsapp)

a litten Kiosk, with a pretty Biergarten and very delicate street food grill

Needed a place to stop and sleep. Found this gravel lot that is labeled on Apple Maps as a park and ride. No signs indicating we couldn’t park there. It is basically just a gravel turn around out in the middle of farm fields. We stayed one night with a 29’ fifth-wheel. No one bothered us. There was some freeway noise though. Easy access off and back on the freeway.

As described, super nice hostel and good vibe with Juan Carlos who is an amazing host. He cares to make you feel at home, sharing beers, bbq and anecdotes with all the guests. Perfect spot for cyclists, enough space to store your stuff safely while you go for a trek. He can give you advices on transportation and on the region and he is planning on developing the hostal. I could only recommend this place ! 25s/p

Not far off the road but heaps of space for wild camping, some sections right by the cliff looking down at the riverbed. Quiet spot, no cars went by the night we camped, didn't see any people, just some cattle and goats around, plenty of bird life, sign of elephants but we didn't see any. get here by following the obvious dirt vehicle track off the road.

Uploaded pictures for future wild campers. remember to follow the rules of wild camping and leave no trace.
