Check-Ins

Beautiful Park in the hart of the Sierra Madre Occidental, just an hour and forty five minutes from the Ocean Pacific (Mazatlan) and an hour and fifteen minutes from Durango, with areas for camping, cabins for rent, excellent restaurant that opens saturday and sunday, trails for hiking and mtb, rockclimbing, vía ferrata, zip line, birdwaching and canyoning.
Most activities you can do it on your own or there is the guiding service. The guides and personal that works there are very friendly and always willing to help!
The entrance it’s on the highway 45 , km 114 and the few meters of dirt road are in excellent conditions!
I recomend it widely!!

The dump station has potable water here too.

Funcionários muito educados. Olharam o Camper é só retiveram as laranjas.

Beautiful cliffs where native Americans used to hunt buffalo. Free for Montana residents, $8 a day for anyone out of state.
Day use only. No camping. Pit toilet. Ok cell.

Pareja de Argentinos que hacen Mecánica tanto gasolina como diésel y electrónica! Nos arreglaron el calentamiento de la furgoneta y estuvimos con ellos una semana!Además han sido viajeros!muy recomendable y buenos precios!

Okay there are TWO different water spigots here. One threaded and at an angle and one non threaded one a bit further from the road. I used the awkward angle one which was kind of tricky to fill up my 3gal jugs with. And the. I saw the better one farther away OOPS. unfortunately the water’s pretty gross. It has a weird mold taste to it. Been drinking it sparingly but plan to dump it out and find better water. (You can see both spigots in this pic)

Belle place pour relaxer mais aucune intimité pour la nuit. C’est un stationnement sur le bord d’une rivière.

Not possible to stay. Lots of cows and farmer did not like it. From here on to the south is not more RIPIO!!! Super good road till Raquil. There one can park.

Free showers located inside Esso convenience store washroom

Previous descriptions still accurate. Beautiful sunset

As described. Thank you for the free water. Pulled in towing a 13’ trailer with a small suv. No problem.

Passamos duas noites na rua próximo à igreja. No sábado teve barulho de festa, mas depois ficou tranquilo. Combinamos com o pessoal do Hostel Pajeú para usar o banheiro, internet etc..eles são muito simpáticos, vale a visita pois tbm é um espaço cultural. O local é muito seguro!

Yup showers are hot and the place is busy but when ya need a shower it’s the place

Updated comment with new pic showing the two spigots.

showers in universal change room is $3
Only one private shower room so there might be a wait.

As described, non potable water available

Camping and overnight parking areno longer allowed at this location. We talked to the lady at the visitor center. she said that the lot is owned by the city and they recently put up the signs. She said that the authorities have been waking people up at night and asking them to leave. But she also said that rigs have been staying in the vacant lot adjacent to the east of this lot.

Chegamos no local às 6:30pm e estava fechado. Havia um bilhete informativo dizendo que o horário de funcionamento era das 8am às 4am, de segunda a domingo.
Ficamos tristes porque o lugar é realmente lindo e não estávamos com outra opção para aquela noite.

Park & Ride parking lot with many spots, really quiet as the lot is situated a bit above the I376 and this Interstate does not have much traffic anyway in the night.
No signs which forbid overnight camping.
Not really ideal for big rigs as there are markings on the ground indicating the standard car parking spots and blocking these spots with a big rig would annoy the normal user of the park & ride facility...

price is now $10 for day pass Inc pools and private tubs

Nous y avons passé une très bonne nuit. Nous étions 2 cc et 2 voitures. Lieu très propre et magnifique. Nous recommandons.

Stunning view on calm and big lake, camp site on the road, right on the water. Public restroom available

Nous sommes arrivés a 15h30 et nous avons eu aucun problème avec notre installation ( pick-up et roulotte de 40 pieds total) bel endroit..

Posto de Combustível e Lanchonete 24h.
Dormimos na frente do Restaurante (anexo a lanchonete), tem churrasco, porém fecha as 22h.

Local perto da rodovia, mas tirando o barulho, espaço tranquilo.

Tem banheiro na lanchonete.

This took me to the wrong town!! 20 miles away! Wrong coordinates! Ugh so annoying.

The road offers wonderful views but as said before, it a landslides paradise and almost impossible to turn back if you can't continue. The road was in perfect condition between Cachora and Anallanca. After, it becomes more narrow and the road seems unstable. Our Dodge Ram (2.1m large) was too large on 5 meters and we had to go touch our left fender.

Quiet spot on a forsaken logging road. Large turnaround where you can fit a Class B or Small Class A. Very quiet with a beautiful view of the Forrest.

All fine. Grey water can be dumped free in the drain, but for the black water you need to pay 10$ to open it fully. There is free water (potable and non-potable) faucets as well. We dumped around 5pm, but they closed it shortly after.

Camped at the the highest spot on the loop just over the top of the ridge. Encountered another iOverlander who camped at the entrance of the loop. We felt alone other than that and it was just the way we like it!

Lugar tranquilo e seguro. Não tem energia eletrica, mas conseguimos água com o pessoal do “banho termal” que fica bem ao lado.
Passamos duas noites bem tranquilas.
