Check-Ins

Great location directly downtown on the water in a well lit and walkable area. Spoke to some locals and someone who works for the marina and said they encourage vans and very small RVs (no big rigs) to stay overnight and explore the city. None of the electrical outlets work on the side for parking, there are others on the other side but you'd need to let vehicles run over your cord. Water also available at the marina.

Empty lot near the road. We arrived around 6:30pm and at 9pm, the police came.
Apparently the lot is owned by the ranch that’s far behind and they called them. They checked our ids and after a nice talk, the owner which they had on the phone let us stay for the night.
If you want to come here, try to go ask to the ranch first

traditional colonial styled hotel.
very affordable rates and comfortable and cosy rooms breakfast included we pay $70.000 per person during week days.
the place have lovely gardens and it's pet friendly. around the area you have many things to visit. like Nobsa handcrafts. the Winery with amazing views over the valley.
totally worth it. clean and super friendly stuff. they went through hard times during the pandemy but they are getting back on their feet . highly recommend it.

Beautiful little spot. room for two small rigs. Close to hwy so a bit noisy but the beauty outweighs the noise. Steep but navigatable hill. We are 10 feet high and had to be careful with trees but no problem.

Ótimo espaço para wild camping. Não tem estrutura, é afastado do comércio. No fim de semana a barraca do João oferece porções e bebidas. Pernoitamos numa sexta feira no mês de novembro e foi super tranquilo. Na maré baixa o mar recua bastante e ao lado tem o rio. Estrada de areia tranquila para qualquer tipo de veículo. Estão pavimentando com paralelepípedo, no futuro o lugar vai ficar mais popular.

Great place for wild camping. On the weekend maybe busier but you have some space more isolated. We camped here on Friday in November and felt safe. The road is easy for any kind of vehicle and they are working on it, in the future will be more crowded.

excellent food and the sweetest little server. level parking lot with 3 spaces for long RVs we have a truck camper so parked in a regular parking spot at the back of the lot.

This place is the parking behind the city hall of Balneário Pinhal. Is very quiet at night, almost no transit, and near the police station. Good for stay during the night.
Este lugar es el estacionamiento detrás de la prefectura de Balneário Pinhal. Es muy tranquilo en la noche, casi no hubo tránsito, y es cerca de la estación de policía. Bueno para pasar la noche.

When we stopped, the store was open. There were cars and pick-ups in the parking lot. In the morning, there was nobody. Relatively quiet. No cell signal. -2 degrees Celsius this morning.

Although school buses are let into the national park here, they claimed that our BigRig (7.8m long, 2.3m wide, 3.8m high) was much too big. So no admission for BigRig at the moment. In Sinamatella we didn't have any problems entering the Hwange.

Still other campers. Felt safe but pretty noisy next to trains. Reversing trucks in the night. Would stay again

Ok for a stopover night or two. $38.50 a night, includes electricity, water and sewage. Very messy, dogs barking constantly, no public bathrooms or laundry. Witnessed someone run into another motorhome in the park one night. Dead birds in a few spots. Most people seem to be long timers. Owner is an incredibly nice guy though. Good in a pinch, but don’t recommend.

First real gas station (with a pump) when going through the back country to the volcano. Diesel and gasoline, cash only.

nice cimetary, most of the graves are made like small cabanas. Nice view over the lake.

Caution! They built concrete cascades as a river crossing, but they are washed out and slippery as hell because of algae covering it. We drive a heavy 4x4 truck and we're sliding as on soap, 4x4 does nothing. Stay to the uphill part so you don't slide downhill and potentially flip upside down. There are deep holes on the uphill side though, so you will get into a very uncomfortable slant will sliding uncontrollably. Fun times... (level of algae might depend on season)

famous organic patisserie, café and icecream. very delicious. a dream!

Just to update and let travellers know the showers here are great but not free unless you buy 200 litres of gas! The price is reasonable though at $25 pesos per person. They are clean and each shower room has a toilet and a sink and has hot water. It was good to get super clean again!! It’s worth the drive through town to get to this place.

Very quiet spot. The place in the photos isn't available now, the herbs have grown. We parked just opposite on a small plot. The road to get there is very narrow, no big VR.

RV parking was pretty full when we got here last night around 6:30pm. Several RVs using loud generators. We parked in the lot between the RV parking area and the store. No issues.

This place is closed resp. does not exist anymore.

Didn't find the water guy but bought a 20l bidones in the tienda located here for 2500 Pesos. No problem to borrow the bidones for filling the tank.

Nice place to boondock. A little noise from the road but not bad. No services. Tmobile has good reception.

Very quiet night in a beautiful valley in the lower Eagle creek area. This place you access from 191N, lower Eagle creek road.

Longish drive down steepish curvy road. Not big RV friendly but I don’t own one. This road is bumpy and you have one wash out to cross. Plus, if you go to far you could be in trouble, no turn around and then water.

The hike is also an adventure of sorts, with a bonus at the end.

This is property of the mine you enter to access and we must respect their rules or ownership. We enjoyed our stay and adventure.

Saw some bighorn and a beautiful hawk.

We just arrived at this lovely campground directly behind the Dades Gorge. Clean WC, hot shower and a friendly welcome from the manager of this hotel and camping. Electricity is available. Tea in a lovely lounge in front of the fireplace and a nice chat.We will come again.

It’s an option if you are looking for a safe place to camp. It belongs to the police so pretty secure, nice shaded areas with bbqs, tables etc… we paid ARS1500 for 2 people in a tent.
They opened a cabaña for us to use the bathroom / shower. Can get busy on week ends with kids playing football etc but the place is big enough for it to not be an issue.

short hike up to the lake and forest, amazing views over the river, that spreads out in many arms, small islands and extremly diverse environment ... starts at 'dead end road' (on the other side of the pedestrian bridge) and takes max. 30min to get there, you won't regret it

Stop along Black Hill back country by-pass road.
Good view and in a pinch, a nice camp (didn’t see a no sign) for a night but right off road.
Has table and small roof.
Very narrow, windy primitive road

great place to charge your phone. there is also free wifi on one of the corner

Parks seemed to have three sections. Boat launch area was still open, but the whole area seemed to be taken up with trucks and their boat trailers. Pit toilets, women’s stall had no locking mechanisms on the doors.

The other two sections (one of left side of road and the other on the right side of road) of Park were closed for season. Was told it closed on Nov 1st. I would assume these could be nice spots when the part is open for campers. Gate was locked on the entrance side, and tire puncture security on the exit side to prevent people from entering that way.

This place is beautiful. Haven’t had any issues. There’s a big pavement lot to park or you can make your way down the peninsula and park closer to the water! Very windy but the best views! A few cars have come down here then leave right after. Very quiet and secluded. My dogs love it. Pack in and pack out. There’s a bit of trash the further you go out but not too bad.

Spent a few nights camping here, some distant and close music, Friday night until the early hours from a disco close by unfortunately. Rest is great as mentioned. Clean and good ablutions, nice staff and good bar area. Can recommend during the weekdays ;)
