Check-Ins

Very nice local food. It’s a new street food restaurant with a terrace. Delicious veggies and rice with either beef or chicken in a nice sauce.

Good option for a night if you're too tired to move on. Felt very safe. Visible from the highway during the day so not really a longterm option. Very good Movistar and Claro reception.

Really easy exit procedure. Immigration and customs in same office. Blue building on the right hand side when you exit Mozambique.
The guards will take your road tax receipt and check passports before they let you go.
On the Mozambican side you need to stop at a small gate. They check passports and carnet and send you to the Police station.
Mozambique is not part of Interpol so your police clearance is done in a small office again on the right hand side once you are on the Mozambican side of the border. No charge for that, but you need a copy of your log book which they stamp. They checked against our carnet.
Mozambican Immigration is on the left in a red brick building. Visa paid in $$. Easy and they will direct you through to customs in the same building. You need to pay carbon tax in Kwacha and toll charges in $$. There is no cash machine so bring $$ and you cannot pay by card. All easy and friendly border on both sides.

Need to correct my last entry. We exited Mozambique and entered Zambia. All referral is obviously for the Zambian immigration etc and not Mozambique as stated. Cant make correction once post is entered.

When I asked someone at the front counter I was asked to stay out back. Not much room. Very noisy. I did see a large RV out parked out front. Your mileage may vary.

good place. friendly, shawer, restaurant, parquing free for campervan, free wifi

Nice spot next to Lake Hammer, only the noise of the higway… and a lot of toilet paper around. Please don’t litter , put your papers in a dog bag and keep the place clean for others to enjoy !

Stayed the night with 20 foot motorhome. Lots of room for other rigs. Wind and rain storm through the night. So nice to listen to.

Incredible samosas, two of them and a bottle of yogurt were $2.5. very friendly owner. also have drinks, chips, etc. look for the green corrugated building.

Chegamos na quarta-feira e no dia seguinte os guardas municipais nos informaram que poderíamos ficar somente entre semana, que aos finais de semana tem muito movimento e deveríamos sair. Então na sexta-feira no meio-dia fomos embora.
O local onde ficamos é muito tranquilo e fica completamente escuro à noite.

Highly recommend for a coffee! Opened 2022, Cafe available during the day for outside guests and restaurant only for guests. Stunning cakes and proper coffee. Beautifully curated place with upmarket feel. Owners Costa and Tania have created a jewel in Malawi. We are overlanding and will go to a close by campsite. Enjoy your stay.

This campsite is closed at the moment due to logging… tree felling and huge trucks. But a really beautiful spot.

Great for fresh drinking water. We also filled tank but you can’t connect your own hose. Reasonably quiet overnight.

After filling up on diesel, we asked if we could stay for the night because we didn’t want to drive in the dark. The nice Lady at the cashier called the boss, yes, no problem at all. The gas station closes at 9 pm and opens again at 6 am. We were directed to a nice green spot behind a fence in the back of the station. Safe, quiet, had a good night’s sleep. VERY nice and friendly staff, they were actually delighted that foreign tourists didn’t just fill up the tank and went their way, but want wanted to stay and chat, especially with our truck :-) Toilets for 1 BZ$ available as long as the gas station is open.

Hard to find a place to fill water in this city, but free municipal dump station and potable water fill here. Closed in winter.

Campsite for family very nice place, pet friendly

The Body 'N' Soul fitness center is open and charge $4 CAD for a shower. You need to bring your own towels and soap, etc. They do not take cash. Credit only

Chris changed pricing regime based on nationality. Westerners pay 15 dollar pppn and SADC people less. So if you like to pay more you are very welcome ag his place.

Still a good spot to top off a fresh water tank or fill jugs. There are two spigots, one has a hose already attached but you can attach your hose to the other.
There is still a sign that says no camping and there’s also another sign that says NO RV parking with a picture of a big RV. There is a large lot and tons of room. I’m in a Sprinter and had no issue hanging out for a few hours to shower, make breakfast, and grab water. I was the only one there for the first half of the day on a Friday.

Great spot. End of a dead end street right outside of the distillery and a brewery up the street.
5g Verizon and quiet as can be. Lovely spot.
Just make sure you buy a drink and leave in the am before 9

I posted a few days ago, came back to the location after staying in the canyons close by. Found two more spigots, one behind the exxon and one on the other side furthest to the road. Employees come by to the little brick house and have not said anything.

The truck stop has about five campsites that have water and 30 Amp, a couple have 50 Amp, electrical hookups. No waste water dumps. The campsites aren't the prettiest and it is noisy on the side of I-90, but, they have gas, diesel, showers $5, laundry $5 per load to wash and dry. There is a Subway and a convenience store. They have a dog park to let the puppies run. All this for only $20 per night. Everyone I've met from the staff have been friendy and helpful. Their maintenance person lives on site.

Well stocket supermarket, european type, normal prices.

Great stop by the five islands area. Combo platter is big enough for two. All local and fresh caught seafood. Ice cream selection is pretty good too.

Great little family run campground. We needed a place to shower and do laundry before passing the border. The campground is clean and well manicured. It feels like you are in someone so backyard. Some sites have privacy, some don’t. We had site 20 and it was very private. A mix of long term residents and tourists. The showers are spotless and you feel like in a hotel. $34/unserviced.

*** EXTREME CAUTION *** Must be used if you visit this spot on your way to somewhere else -you may not want to leave!

So it's just a long, wide spot at a curve along CO-72, next to, literally right next to, the Middle St. Vrain Creek, about 2.8 miles south from the intersection of CO-72 &7.

There are no signs, of any kind, at this location. It's along side a road, so there is road noise, mostly cars - did not see any semi truck while there.

When I visited there was a large pile of dirt, grading, at the south end. Obviously this location is, or could be, used by CDOT for road maintenance so in that regard it may not always be available. And while I joked at the beginning of this post about using extreme caution, it is alongside a creek, so flash flooding could be a concern. pay attention to the weather whenever you travel

salmon spawning in the river between the two bridges right now. nice healthy pink ones by the lower entrance bridge, near done black and white ones near the S bend by the closed upper bridge. this in the spawning channel between park and highway.

É um otimo local para fazer serviços no motorhome. Estávamos com um problema na suspensão e foi resolvido em questão de minutos.
Preço justo e bom atendimento.

Great little place to dump, running water available too. No signs to indicate if it’s potable.

The actual hole to dump is to the left of the gated area.

Decent washrooms too.

Water- Sunset Lake  Park
Sunset Lake Rd New Hope, WI
44.5458651, -89.2724337

This is the Sunset Lake Portage County park. There's a nice little swimming beach, pit toilets, potable water (summer months only most likely), changing rooms, a small shelter and a few picnic tables with some charcoal grills. Nice spring fed lake with clean water. Gets busy during summer.
There is a power outlet on the wall near water yard hydrant and in restroom buildings.

Water yard Hydrant is off sidewalk between buildings and lake. It's approximately 100' from closest parking space. Has a hose fitting but doesn't come out there so unclear if it is usable. It may just be child proof so I can't figure it out. May be jugs only.  

AT&T internet here isn't that great here with about 4Mb down and .2Mb up so usable for basic browsing but you won't wanna upload much.
