Check-Ins

Stayed here one night. It was very quiet.

Asked the staff inside if it was ok to spend the night. Some people over-welcomed their stay, so she was not really sure. I told her it was just for one night. She was fine with it.

Beautiful campground in Pima county, actually called Gilbert Ray Campground. Registered at office, $20/night. Gorgeous views with various types of cacti and beautiful sunsets. Watch for mice, there’s tons. Need to buy colored flashing lights as a deterrent.

Nice big flat area among hills and pine trees. Nice view. Not too far from the paved road.

Hermoso lugar junto al Lago Oribe, hay calle para llegar y algunos caminos que pasan por la orilla del lago. Muy lindos bosques. Lugar tranquilo para estacionar, hay carteles de prohibido acampar y hacer fuego.

Beautiful place next to Lake Oribe, there is a street to get there and some paths that pass along the shore of the lake. Very nice forests. Quiet place to park, there are signs prohibiting camping and making fire

pulled in on the off chance they had water. guy was very nice and pulled out a hose from inside their small service shop. potable. and free air as well. you will need to ask tho as it's in the shop. they were very friendly!

They no longer allow any parking here. Sheriff was polite (thank goodness). New owners of building are cracking down. I hauled off a bag of trash prior to parking. Solvang is a campers desert! They will tolerate day parking cuz they want your cash. But please don’t park here, it will just be drama.

Clean! Has trash cans! $3.00 -$5wash. Has large commercial washers. .50 dry. Has hair salon and little store near to explore.

Along the entire street you can drive into the forest on gravel roads and find a quiet spot for wild camping. Beautiful area… some people walk here but not many.

From Iran to Iraq.
Iran side was surprisingly well organized and straightforward. First go to the customs building and stamp out your Carnet, then go to the passenger hall to stamp out your visa and do some copies.
Then you can drive to the iran-iraqi border gate. (The staff will tell you where to go.)
Before you‘re allowed to drive on the iraqi side of the gate, you have to do some papers at the many container offices at the iraqi side. By foot you have to go to several offices - there is no system, everything is very chaotic. But just ask around - they will exactly tell you where to go next or show you the way. We were very lucky, the border was not busy at all and it wasn‘t that hot this day.
In one office they will do your visa on the arrival (sticker and stamp in the passport). It‘s 75$ pP + 2$ fee (better have the exact amount with you!). In another office they will do your Carnet and the temporary car importation (it‘s 100$).
Then we were allowed to drive to the iraqi side of the gate. Short custom check.
Again we had to go to several offices: they did some pictures and we had to pay a car insurance (24$) and the custom check (24$). They also do about 4 copies of everything which you have to hand out at the first exit gate, the second exit gate ect… at the end you will not have copies anymore.
The whole border crossing took us 5 hours in total. Everybody was very friendly.

Nice hotel. Room was not super clean. But the breakfast is good and the staff is really friendly. Some of the staff speak very good english. Big parking behind the hotel. It was about 35$ for 1 night with breakfast (2 people). Good place to relax after the stressful border crossing.

Easy to access and pretty stop but the water seems to be turned off for the season

Aberto ao público, no inverno pode estar alagado em época de enchente.
Pessoal com som automotivo fica perto eventualmente.
No geral muito calmo, silencioso para dormir e quando calor pode tomar banho no rio Jacuí.
O BAR ao lado pode fornecer energia caso precise.

--

Open to the public, in winter it can be flooded during the flood season.
People with car audio are nearby eventually.
Overall very calm, quiet to sleep and when it's hot you can take a bath in the Jacuí River.
The BAR on the side can provide power if needed.

I spent a Sunday night here for free no problems.

the parking lot has several police vehicles, so I'm sure its safe

Philip is a lovely German (and maybe the world's slowest overlander!) who has set up a beautiful permaculture farm. He is super keen to have people to stay, learn, help or just enjoy his wealth of knowledge of the local area. If you're looking for somewhere to stay for a while he's also really keen to have people live for longer periods and help out on the farm (I think you would both learn a lot and have a really good time - he also adventures in his 4x4 around the area all the time and can show you his favourite finds in the beautiful plateaux area). He is working on setting up local nature reserve protecting trees for people to enjoy. It's worth coming up and sharing some stories together. The entrance to his place is marked by a huge termite mount on your right if you pass the road to golden eye (which is not really open any more but does have a fantastic outdoor shower overlooking the best view in Togo which is well worth a visit!). Enjoy!!

Some changes in the application process

Need 2 passport size photos
Application form
Copy of passport and original
Entry permit application issued by the Ministry of interior of sudan, which is completed by your host or hotel in sudan. ( without that don’t even show up or they kick you out and won’t explain how and where to get it)

Booking of hotel was not necessary since they are the ones who filling out the entry permit application

Here you can fill up your propane. Really nice people!

Nice town! Pueblo magico, but guidebooks seem to overlook it. We enjoyed a stop here. Beautiful plaza, nice church, some market and some nice traditional eateries.

Right by the side of the road with the most amazing view and great protection from the wind.

Really nice state park, small lake, several hiking trails. Winter rates for campers $20 all spots ($10 for senior citizens w/pass), RV hook up spots $35. Prices increase in summer months. restroom very clean with shower. We were only ones here at this time. Sites are fairly small and close together. Great when you're the only ones here Tho!

Great place for camping. Some hiking trails around and good chances to see the Cotopaxi. Ranger station sells fire wood. Not allowed to park with your rig on the gras. They made an exception fpr us as we already pitched our camp. Bathrooms are clean.

lovely place, nice family
near Dakar pista

Espacio en la Costanera. calle en sentido único, frente al río con electricidad, bancos, iluminación. Muy seguro y tranquilo.
