Check-Ins

BLM managed sits on Blackfoot Reservoir. 16 improved sites with electric, picnic table under a shelter, potable water at intervals but not at each site. I have not checked the restrooms so do not know if there are showers. There are more sites without electric. Call 208-547-4326 BLM for more info. Dump station with easy access. Sites are not shaded, full sun.

Great place to camp for the night. No one bothered me at night and it was pretty quiet.

Found a spot in the dispersed campground. Tough downhill dirt road to get here from 143. No cell service.

This place is temporary closed because of wet roadways.

Possibilities for wifi, electricity, potable water.

Moderately sized back parking lot for all types of vehicles. Called and confirmed overnights are possible.

Try the one up the road which has much more variety of indian goods and imported luxury items.

Check after any work from any mechanic as the bolt of the diff was not tightened by the previous guy topping up diff oil so a new bolt needed to be found and oil. Also emergency tyre repair by adding a tube to the torn tubeless tyre. It would be wise to bring tubes for such occasions as size 245/75 is hard to come by in Eastern Africa it seems....had to order one from Dar and wait 3 days in Kigoma to get it.

It‘s a gravelground parking. There is no „camping forbidden“ sign. There is space for about 4 cars/vans or 2 big campervans.
Its next to the river so bit noisy and 100m away from the road but the road is really quiet.

A truck stop behind the garage for overnight parking. There is an ablutions block (not great). TSH5,000 pn.

As described, quiet at night, stars are incredible.

190pppn now. Still excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Signs posted for no truck parking (refers to semis). otherwise, quiet spot for the night. I parked in the back by some grass to walk my dog around.

safe 24h post, with drinking water, bathroom and shower!
is about 20 minutes from Prado!

Very interesting museum run by George One time. Entry R20 well worth it to understand the diving industry and history.

Overnight parking friendly in a pretty area close to University of Arkansas

As others have said: water is swampy and very smelly. There is a sign saying it’s jot drinkable. Closest store is 20 miles away so bring everything. A bit crowded with families and kids who scream a lot! But their kids. Many folks with dogs. Says no alcohol but people ignore it. There are showers but not sure anyone would want to shower with swamp smelly water... there is a pier from the end of which I get one bar with T-Mobile otherwise no connection. All in all an acceptable place to camp for one or two nights. A “bill collector” comes every morning and gets your money. $10 for tents $20 for RVs.

Stayed here one night. Great setup with hookups, water, picnic tables, and grassy area for dogs. Felt very safe - highly recommend if you’re passing through. First night free, second night $50 - check in at hotel lobby upon arrival.

Went here to have our LR Defender Puma headlights checked which ceased to work correctly during the bad corrugation road from Moz. But CANNOT RECOMMEND!!
Sameer took the job and searched for the fault for over 3hrs, but didn’t initially find the fault. We left and he didn’t want to take money (no fix, no money). Then after about a half an hour he sent an SMS wanting to check again one thing and we went back. This time he found the fault, the combination indicator switch (which we had suggested to him in the first place). A new part from Malawi (Britpart, so not good) would’ve been $100, which is too expensive for a cheap and not great quality part), so he ended up doing a bush fix and bridgeing the wires so that our headlights worked again (just not the low beam). This solution was a bad mistake!!! It caused several short circuits that we had to sort out in Lusaka for over 1,5 weeks! Sameer also asked a lot from us how things went afterwards and promised several times to send us our money back beacuse he caused a LOT of trouble with bad decisions — but he NEVER DID!! Cannot recommend this place. Maybe when we drive through Chipata again we will go and fetch our money back…

Small local lodge right beside the Great East Road, few km from Chipata center. Almost opposite to Kigelia campsite (which is run down). Room was 300k. Clean room, no damp smells, etc. Restaurant can make simple, local dishes (i.e. Fish 70k). Ok choice if you don’t want to camp for a night. Friendly staff. Can also do your laundry.

Not a bad place to camp, if you’re there during weekdays and there’s no wedding. Otherwise you might not get too much sleep. We camped next to the bungalow where we could use the bathroom of a room. Unfortunately there’s a disco/ club next to the hotel. That said, that’s probably the challenge wherever you go on a Saturday.

Atm did not work with our visa! We went to societe general just a few streets further on Rue Fargues.

Tri-state marker. Missouri to the east Oklahoma south and Kansas north

great spot off the highway coming down from Yosemite. there were non-campers flying drones at night, others were here to watch the sunset/chill. lots of biting bugs at dusk, so be aware! no cell signal for t-mobile.

Small grassy spot off of FR0101, many different spots between here and Levan, but this is what was open. Small firepits and a creek next to a beautiful rock face made this place home. Road accessible from Levan with AWD/4WD. Big rigs can access from Wales.

Like all other Churches of the Parish of Ste-Famille, you can sleep overnight. It is well appreciated to make a donation to them (15$ suggested) at

to help them keep the place clean. Close to nice farms like Cassis Mona et filles. Please respect those places for us to enjoy many years.

Modern, professional and official MTN service center. The purchase of the SIM card including the data bundle took a maximum of 30 minutes.

Good Electricians and have refill for a lot of brands . Fast and clean! Recommended

Gravel pull off next to highway. Fine if you are exhausted and need to rest. Big rig friendly.
