Check-Ins

Very noisy, right next to the highway, a busy road. The truck airbrakes in the middle of the night are fun.

This place was closed by owner. I messaged with them today, says it can be booked on Hipcamp for a fee. Unfortunately it seems some of us iOverlanders damaged his property and we’re disrespectful to his neighbors. Too bad the bad actors ruin things like this.

Great spot by the lake. The road to get there is rocky but the spot is beautiful and rather quiet.

They filled our US propane bottle, they have an adaptor!

Small place right after the toll station direction south, there was a construction site and some trucks parked there as well. Not too much traffic during the night but you hear every truck breaking for the toll station. It was midnight and we had no other option.

We spent a night here, as the municipal camping was closed, and the town square was very busy, we decided to stay overnight here for being 24h, having bathrooms and good internet.

Passamos uma noite aqui, como o camping municipal estava fechado, e a praça da cidade estava bem movimentada, decidimos pernoitar aqui por ser 24h, ter banheiros e boa internet.

Probably is one of the better shops in town after going around to several. No cheese when I was there but plenty of other essentials

ótimo lugar para passar a noite, extremamente silencioso, parillas disponíveis, banheiros limpos, recepção muito acolhedora, para quem chegar cedo ou ficar mais de um dia, tem trilhas para fazer

There is 1 ‘no overnight parking/camping’ sign and it looks like they are about to add more. I think this place is often used by the homeless, and we observed some confrontation about it. You may want to consider other plans in the future…

We stay here one night with no issue. Only few people before 8:00pm. Quiet night.
Sheriff make a tour at 6:20 in the morning but nothing to mention.

there is wifi too
the code is 62912278
wild camping

Camped in car park with our RTT and used hot shower in room. Friendly staff. Swam at beautiful private beach below the lodge. Price now $10/person.

no RV dump! your mapping app might say it has one but it doesn't. your map app won't tell you that there is an RV dump down the road at the storage facility. go left out of this parking lot then take your first right and the storage place has RV dump, $12.

Great place to relax and enjoy the wifi and purchase some crafts and things that are hand made from residents in Denio. The ladies that work at the library are also the best and super friendly.

The road is hard to drive and kind of remote. However there is frequent local traffic and buses passing by. In case of emergency / getting stuck remain patient! ;-)

Quiet, secure place to camp just outside Iquique. Gate is always closed and monitored. Camp sites with shade, table, and electricity. Bathrooms with hot showers. Nice pool open seasonally. Can walk right onto the beach with key to locked gate. Several different sized cabañas for rent with kitchen, full bath. Wi-Fi near entrance. Poor cell signal down in camping area, but good higher on property. Non-Chilean tourist price 10,000pp.

Officials sent us away. Overnight 'camping' is not allowed anywhere in town...

Free Parking at Walmart with Security Service

Just to explain the facilities of this place. if you expect a bathroom with WC and shower and a restaurant you will be disappointed.
first the food: pizza great, as well the food Martina cooked. But it is not an a la carte venue, but Martina cooks and you can join. Good cooking. I told them I would like to try the famous pizza, and on the next day I got it. And it was worth it.
toilets: pit toilet, nr 1 goes into the bush, nr 2 into the hole some distance away from your van, tent. paper in a bag on a tree a bit away from.the hole. Hand washing I dont know where, didn't use these facilities.
shower: nicely made showerhead in a clearing, without roof or walls. if you don't mind standing in the open in the nude, that might be ok for you.
emptying your toulet: for this you need to go up the hill, out of the property and then find a spot where you can dig a hole.
washing machine: works great, clean clothes again!!!
all in all: for me, I have the toilette I the bush and the open air shower every day, so I in general don't have a problem with that. But when I go to a camp and pay for it want my little luxuries.
I hope this helps in the process of decision making.

Lots of workshops, mechanics and the like in this area. Had upholstery made here. 500 TL for 2 seats.

Cleber, Bia e Sofia. Muito obrigada!
Em Moeda perto do topo do mundo!
Eu e o Alysson passamos dias deliciosos neste lugar incrível!
Que vista ma-ra-vi-lho-sa.
Saudades do Caramelo e Teddy (são os cães da casa super, super dóceis). São fofos.
Gostamos tanto que voltamos em 15 dias rs.
Camping familiar de pessoas amáveis e simpáticas.
Chuveiro quente e banheiro limpinhos, cozinha super completa com churrasqueira e até fogão à lenha.
Energia, wi-fi, água. Piscina e mesas, espreguiçadeiras, balanços…
Tem cachoeiras e trilhas por perto.
Ainda tem chalés e glamping.
Por perto nada se compara ao @aquinocamping
Muita gratidão

As described, great place to dump and fill the tank with fresh water. Warning that Google maps sends you to a close residential area (location on Ioverlander map is good).
Closes at 3.50 pm

The start of a hiking trail. no signs of no parking overnight. free. the road is close by so you hear some cars but it was pretty peacefull and fun with the forest and its noises

Bathroom facilities are old. Steam and humidity from showers have taken their toll on all surfaces. Very hot showers though.

If you want to get immersed into the local culture, this is the place to be!

We were welcomed by the host Debbie and Payson, one of the volunteering teachers at the orphanage school. As we arrived at noon, we started our visit with the local dish ‘Nsima’. They showed us around at the orphanage school and leaded us to the local traditional healer. We visited a typical mud brick house of one of the villagers and they explained us how it was made and maintained. Then we helped the villagers to pump up water and to prepare maize flower to cook our diner.

Debbie and Payson were very hospitable and friendly and they answered all our questions about the local village life. After dinner we could enjoy the local dancing and drumming performed by the villagers. It was an amazing experience!

At night we could experience a night in a typical mud brick hut. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the local village life and spend some time with the locals (which you otherwise only drive by)! We would advise it to everyone!

You can go to the lodge with your car and you can even sleep in your car as well if you want, but we would definitely advise to spend a night in a mud brick house! 😉

Estación de servicio sin bandera. combustibles, shop, sanitarios con duchas de agua fría, agua caliente, estacionamiento para pernoctar muy amplio.

Showers are $17.00 now. Overnights ok but this place is by the freeway and a very busy intersection. Feels safe enough. There are overhead lights and a Dennys. I parked my small van along the fence by the truck car wash.

There are a lot of “no overnight parking” signs but we stayed anyway. There was one other campervan and we had no issues!

6 great spots. multiple trees for a hammock and several spots for a tent. If you are using a tent, you could probably just park your car by the restrooms and walk the short 30 yards into the level trees if the 6 spots are occupied.
Lots of deer. Great area!

Nice quiet spot. Well out of the way but not too far out to feel stranded. About 7 minutes of bumpy road with large pot holes but my promaster 3500 made it well enough with no major drama on a typically rainy OR day. Zero cell reception for Verizon fyi.
