Check-Ins

This sight is parking in front of a bar. They come around noon to make sure that people have paid to stay throughout the day, but we stayed for 2 nights and just left during the day to do other things. No one bothered us. There was a portapotty and there is one spout with running water; I'm not sure if its potable, but it's definitely good for rinsing off your feet with. I posted about it yesterday but wanted to add more pictures today of the specific location.

Still nice, but the pool is under reconstruction.
The place was fairly empty, so we negotiated the price down to 600 Pula, w/o breakfast!

No water avaliable. there's a water fountain that doesn't work & a water spigot that requires a special key to turn on. you're better off buying some from in town.

Shell gas station
Blue water spigot back by the truck diesel pump and DD drive-thru
Need your own hose

Pretty nice
Showers don’t get very hot and are coin operated, $1 for 3 minutes and takes loonies and toonies, firewood is no longer free

Campsite was $13.65 for unserviced, but required a 3 day provincial park pass which was $16.60

district Buenos Aires Jimenez

quiet place with a river in front

side if the road with a littel creek . Quiet and noce road to go uphill.

Nice view and place for 2-3 big rigs. Heard a distant train during the night but thats all.

Nice large parking lot with picnic tables and a view of the water. No overnight sign, but perfect for the day, next to the cycle path.

Beau grand stationnement avec tables de pique-nique et vue sur l'eau. Interdit pour la nuit, mais parfait pour la journée. À côté de la piste cyclable.

Nice place to spend the night. It closes at 21:00 and open at 6:00 am. They were very kind. We parked behind the convenience store, close to the restroons and te energy plug.
Um bom lugar pra passar a noite. Estacionamos atras da conveniencia perto dos banheiros. Eles nos cederam uma tomada que fica junto ao bebedouro de agua quente e fria apos pedirmos para a gerente no momento (Leticia). Todos foram muito prestativos, recomendo. O posto fecha das 21:00 as 6:00. Sigam nosso instagram: @geo.trip.adventure

passamos quatro noites bem tranquilas. lugar iluminado e seguro.

Successfully crossed Bolivia -> Peru.

Overall very quick and streamlined process. I arrived after a bus and still was in and out in ~1 hour (once I was across the bridge).

The only hiccup was crossing the bridge. They asked for a "tamizaje" (health check). I got this at El Centro de salud a block north of the main plaza on the Peruvian side of Desaguadero. I had to park on the Bolivian side near the pedestrian crossing and walk past both migrations (10min). They checked for 3 vaccinations, but I didn't ask if it was okay with just 2.

Rest stop dump station.. pull through the car side to get to the dump station. There's non potable water for rinsing, and also a dumpster at this rest area.

Cool spot. I fit my 30’ rv here. Fairly flat. Can prob fit another rv and a van. Good for a night.

Espaço Arborizado, tranquilo, permitido fazer fogueira. Mercadinho dentro do camping, area ampla para rvs e barracas, piscina aquecida e fria, quatro baterias de banheiro possui chuveiros quentes em todos o banheiros e area para lavar pratos. Donos rigido com barulho.

Wooded space, quiet, allowed to make a fire. Small market inside the campsite, large for area RVs and tents, heated and cold pool, four bathroom batteries with hot showers in all bathrooms and an area for washing dishes. Note: Owners rigid with noise.

This and three other Metro stations have designated large vehicle/RV spots. We stayed at Greenbelt and Shady Grove. Weekday have overnight and 12hr limitations (see attached photo of signage). Weekends are wide open - early Sat thru late Sun are free and no worries.

Well lit lots, away from the station and no foot traffic.

Train into DC is easy and so worth not parking closer to DC.

Near the toiletts there is a potable water spigot. Not very close to the parking lot so a bit difficult to use for filling up your tank bit perfect for bottles. Maybe with a long hose you can do it? (About 15 meters)

There is a frost free hydrant in between pump 5/6 and 7/8.

Nice flat spot with a cute little rock ring for a fire. Circular tree area good spots to put a hammock. Close to some hiking trails we've had 6/7 people hike up here in a span of a 1/2 to 2 hours. Haven't seen any cars yet will update when we leave.

Before you take the 1 hour drive here, be aware that you will park right next to a house. They don't seem to be bothered, but surely not a seldom spot. Otherwise nice views of the lake. Spotty 3G/4G Claro only with a clear sky, no connection when the clouds come down and it gets foggy.

We stayed two nights no issues. Good spot for fishing, boating and chilling. At night didn’t see anyone to park here and no one bothered aswell

Way better than a pull out! Fit my 30’ rv here. Its surprisingly level.

Hôtel avec un espace pour mettre tous types de véhicules. Pas un grand nombre mais les grands véhicules passent. L’entrée avec portail ferme la nuit, donne directement sur la route, on entend les voitures mais il y a très très peu de passage la nuit (et le jour aussi) donc aucun problème. Stephanny (+506 7100 8929) la propriétaire tient l’hôtel depuis 2 mois et est très sérieuse et sympathique ! Tout est très propre. Nous sommes restés 3 nuits. 15$ par nuit pour notre véhicule et 2 personnes. Vous pouvez utiliser la cuisine / une salle de bain d’une chambre pour vous doucher. La wifi est très correcte. Nous avons pu laver notre linge pour un tout petit prix ! Nous avons pu connecter notre véhicule au courant et l’eau était facile d’accès. Vous pouvez également vous brancher un peu partout autour du bar/cuisine/piscine avec ordinateurs ou téléphone. Il y a un petit coin hamacs / tables près de la piscine.

De plus nous avons fait la visite du parc Corcovado avec La Perla Del Sur (120$ par personne) en laissant le véhicule à l’hôtel l’esprit très tranquille. Stefanny nous a même amené le matin à l’embarcadère pour la sortie. Cela valait vraiment le coup ! Notre meilleur parc du Costa Rica.

Le village de Sierpe est accessible à pied par la nationale. Environ 10 minutes de marche. Petit supermarché si besoin.
En résumé un très bon endroit pour se poser / ou travailler / se détendre et visiter Corcovado ou la mangrove. Je recommande très vivement. Le rapport qualité/prix est très bon !

great spot, right off the road so slightly noisy during the day but not bad at all.

some spots are flat others not really but also not too bad.

Definitely a good spot to check out if need a spot for the night.

No overnight parking signs at most of the entrances.

Parking is free from 6PM to 8AM and Sundays. Lot's of free places around 4.30PM when museum closes. All day people parc here to go to the museum. During the day it is 2$ per hour with parcmeter. Have to pay 2 places if you have a big rig. Fine is 40$. We stayed all WE and payed partly. Calm at night and close to metro stations.

Important: For all overnight camping in the Gorge, you are required to purchase an overnight backcountry pass from the visitor center. It was only $5 for one night or $7 for three.

There are a few restrictions, but there are a ton of places to stay overnight in the park. We chose to stay at Chimney Rock and just stayed in the vehicle, but you could set up tents if you wish (just make sure you read the restrictions first). At this location, there are bathrooms and nice hikes from here. Great stargazing as well, but you need to hike a little to get out of the trees.

There is also good wifi here, unlike most other places in the park. Both AT&T and Verizon.

wow nice hot shower!!.. I got the annual pass for$30 .. hopefully the other state parks also have showers I can use!

Amazing location, worth the effort to get here. I followed the previous posters route and it worked well to avoid the hills. 2wd no problem in good weather. My GPS track was added to the photos with notes.
