This is a backpacker guesthouse 2 minutes walk from the “old” town in Colonia. Great little town with nice, quiet streets, and okay restaurants. Relatively expensive. Parked in the street just outside the hostel, no problems.

Campground a few kilometers east of Colonia. Basic facilities, no internet.

Basic campground. Internet close to the reception area. Location is just next to the highway, noisy during the day.

Nice camping close to the beach (not on the beach). Walking distance to a couple of restaurants and grocery shops. Internet and hot showers.

Great spot for a camp in Antigua Guatemala. Check in at the guarded gate, and they should let you stay for at least two weeks for free. If you ask you will probably get access to their WiFi as well. We were told that they close the gates at 10 PM, but we never had problems getting back in even a little bit later. It is in the city center just next to the market, and it takes a couple of minutes to the main square.

A quiet hotel just outside the town center (10 minutes walk) that will let you camp on their parking area. Okay place, but almost a little too quiet when we were there. The place felt kind of too big for only the two of us and two other guests..

Zephyr is a party place. It has a young clientel, and seems to be operated by temporarily employed backpackers. We were allowed to park in their drive way. Not really a parking area, but should fit two or three small campers. There is a restaurant and a bar, and everything goes on a bill that is paid when you leave. It was a little chaotic. Happyhour every day between 6 and 8. However, we had a fun couple of days, and the location is close to perfect!

Price: 50 quetzales

Gold mine, spent the night at the station of the Policía Militar.

President of the Jeep Club is João. Perfectly quiet and lovely place to spend the night.

Petrol station nNar the port. Safe, quiet, clean place to spend the night.

Really cool website and place. Close to the park. Bathrooms are a bit old but workable.

Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is also referred to as The Jaguar Sanctuary because there are several jaguars in the area. This is a wildlife park with some basic camping facilities. The area for vehicle camping is actually the halicopter landing area, so we were told not to park in the middle. Should be room for four to five small campers. Good starting pint for jungle treks, with or without guide.

Barton Creek Outpost is a relaxing place in the Belize cave area, close to San Ignacio. This is basically a backpacker place, but they allow camping and small campers on their property. The creek is excellent for coooling down on warm days. The access road is rough, including a small river crossing, but we made it together with a 1976 VW with 2WD.

It is a cozy and convenient place just a couple of kilometers from the Guatamalan border. Trek Shop is a "jungle resort" mostly accomodating backpackers, but they have a parking area behind their buildings that overlanders can use. Should be able to fit in quite a few small campers here, even if the parking is a little overgrown. Here is a nice little restaurant with free WiFi.

A run down place that looks like it used to have everything. There is a restaurant up front, and some cabañas/rooms for rent. In the back there is a large field with the remains of hook up stations (and a car wreck or two..). Water is still running, but no electricity. They opened a room for us so we could use toilet and shower. We had the whole place to our selves (a few locals came by the restaurant for some drinks) the night we were there. Not particularly nice and quite expencive, but if you need a place to park for the night...

We planned to camp on the official Tikal Park campground, but when we got there they wouldn't let us drive in on the grass. Leter we heard from other travellers that they were allowed in. Just across the main parking area for Tikal is a small hotel that will let you camp on their property. It even turned out to be cheaper than the official campground, and the facilities were good.

Camp on the beach of Lago Peten behind the Hotel El Muelle. Room for four, five, six small campers. You can use the facilities of the Hotel restaurant, and the hotel WiFi should just reach the parking area. Nice swimming from the pier, and a beautiful sunset.
