Check-Ins

Some places along the road with direct access to the lake. It’s just near the road but quiet the night. We slept here with our 28 fts skoolie. No « no overnight ». You can swim, the sunset is beautiful.

Nice camping, as said before.
Just notice that it can be very muddy in rainy season and parking is not that easy if you want to find a flat place to stay.
The way up from Medellin, ( coming from Santa Fe de Antioqua) was terrible, very steep although we folowed the direction to the airport as recomended.
The bus going to AVI park is an adventure... then the telepherique and metrocab is perfect

Beautiful view on thé bridge! 3-4 more camper van and truck. No one came To told us to get away.

A road side long pull out next to the Madison river. No shade, but surrounded by tall grasses and hills. Quite beautiful and enjoyed the night here. But close to the road so road noise until later in the evening when it quiets down quite a bit.

No “no parking or camping” signs.
This river is popular with fly fishers so you see them walk by every one in a while.

I asked, he sais the water is "drinkable" and tested ok but he wouldnt drink it. I filled up a water botte just to test the taste and there was a lot of floating small plant parts. So we didnt take any water.

great camp spot! had the whole place to ourselves. toilets, level, very little noise, nice level road leading there from main road, and a nice interpretive trail to stretch out the legs in the morning. would definitely recommend

Nice camp spot under 2 huge trees that provide shade. There's a stone table and a fire place. It's quite close to the main road, suitable for any type of vehicle.

This place is permanently closed.

A nice campground, very clean with his own sanitary area.friendly staff. You can Walk to the City

Free dump station and potable water. Dump station locate inside the parking lot along side of the road. No gate and open 24 hours.

As other says 24 hours free dump and potable water

No password, we used it from the parking. Would say Wifi speed is like 3/10 to 4/10.
Works, but you can't use it to download anything nor send many pictures.

Just checking in to let people know these is still operational.

Beautiful BLM Camping for 6$ per night. In the forest with picnic tables and fire rings for bonefire at each campside. Very clean pit toilet. Very quiet night!
11miles unpaved road but very good condition, no problem for our Fiat Ducato 2WD!

estuvimos tres noches aqui, poco movimiento durante la semana y mucho durante el fin de semana..sin facilidades

muy buen sendero para encender todos los sentidos y encontrarse con mucha fauna. dice que es nivel fácil pero nos costó hacerlo estuvimos 3 horas con desniveles considerables. vale la pena

Potable water available for free right by the Sun Peaks parking lot outside of the washrooms. Bring your own hose.

for us we would have paid 110 euros. it really looks nice. but way to expensive

Santa Marianita recommended to spend a day with the family in front of the river, a nice place, close to the road, you can park for $5 a night and enjoy the river, bathrooms, showers and typical food of the area.

It's really nice place to stay for a night. Really calm and close to the main road. There was another van in this place staying for the night

Decent place to RV overnight - free. Need to obtain pass from front desk. Right on lake. Only one other RV while we were here. Good TMobile signal.

This road is very bad in many sections going to Siavonga
I was fortunate to have travelled it when it was new back in 2018 but a severe storm washed lots of sections away.
use the route via Mazabuka, the east of the town has a new tarred road all the way to the Lusaka junction and is good at the time of writing.
Avoid this route the D500

Excellent view. Very quiet after sunset. Almost no traffic during the night. Toilets and picnic tables and trash bins.

Nothing special but good for the night, pretty private, only one car in the morning, able to level our van easily, would fit a smaller RV. Access is 2km gravel road slightly uphill which is nice, as even if it rains in the night you can easily get out.

Very friendly and helpful consul. Came in for us in Sunday morning. (phone number on the door). Visa was 25.000 CFA per passport for European passport holder for one month.

A small spot by a small road up the hill, about 8x4 meters. Cars pass really really, had a nice talk with a local woman, who told you can go to the nearest house if you run out of drinking water.
About 100m above the main road, so almost no noise from it. Although some of the passing cars here greet you with a honk, but that doesn't happen often.

Nice visitor parking at an apartment complex. Strictly stealth camping. Great in a pinch. Near a strip mall with Whole Foods, Starbucks and McDonalds.

Passamos uma noite neste posto, estacionamos em frente ao hotel e foi tudo tranquiloe seguro. Há um restaurante, lanchonete e banheiros muito limpos com ducha morna.

The gas station does not exist anymore. it's a bare lot. No water.

Arrived Saturday evening with cars in lot. Everyone disappeared at dusk. Very peaceful evening. Awesome place to boondock.
