Great boondocking site with good T-Mobile and att reception. If you camp far enough from there road it'll be totally silent.

Busy truck stop beside the highway. Open 24h for bathrooms and convenience store. Daytime Subway outlet, showers and laundry facilities (didn't check price). Road noise not too bad. Flat parking in lot. Several boondockers in various rigs. Small family of cats living in the parking lot that wanted to come along for a ride.

Beautiful place but no more overnight camping. The rangers came in the evening and told me it is not allowed but they let me stay this night.

Expensive, 3.500pp, nice trees, some cave paintings, mainly solid road nearly no free camping in this park. They have no maps for hiking. Get your maps offline before enter the park. Sometimes Movistar, no Claro signal.

Just checking in here as it’s been a good year since the last post. Prices are the same but the additional 14.000 cop for staying overnight is per vehicle not per person. We really enjoyed this place. We were in the pools on a Saturday evening over a holiday weekend and it still wasn’t that busy. Beautiful landscape when bathing. Peaceful night when sleeping. Waters very hot! Perfect. Go check out nearby Iza and try the meringue in one of the many postre cafes. Delicious.

Writing on here because it’s been 4 years since the last post. We actually arrived on a Sunday night over a long holiday weekend and it was heaving. There was hardly a parking space in sight, but nevertheless, locals were super friendly and did their best to squeeze us in. It sure is a fun town. There was an exhibition of the film
Encanto in the main plaza which our little one loved and yes still lots of delicious feijoa treats to sample. Although it was a fiesta all through the night, we were safe and sound, and no one stole the bag of goodies we left hanging outside whilst sleeping. Glad we stopped by.

Huge area, soft sand tracks along the river banks with some shade. The access road is not on Google maps, but you can see it on satellite view.

Very quiet and peaceful area.

Our favorite campground in the national park. A lot of nature, a lot of space and clean toilets. Please keep it clean!

They offer oil changes, windshields, sell lubricants and more. There is a very sweet, young mechanic inside that speaks great English and was extremely kind.
However, they made an appointment for us to come back the next day for diff and trans fluid change. We wasted a night in a parking lot because when we came back they said they couldn’t do the work. One person said it was too complicated, another said they had no time, another said it was because we couldn’t fit inside. Whatever it is- grrrr.
Anyway- confirm everything before you consider these guys.

What a beautiful facility. Playgrounds. Grass bathrooms. Courts. All fenced. Very clean. No dogs allowed. Plenty of parking for any sized rig. Overlooking the river walk area.

It's not a slow car, it's a fast house

Arrived at 2:30 on a Saturday. Line was down the street. Standing in the cold wind. We parked the camper in the parking lot. (Many cars were just parked in the road and n the sides) Then we took a chair, coffeeand book to the line. Alternating the wait. Wandering around revealed the same conditions going the other way.

After four hours we touched the building. Then an agent asked how many persons in party (2), looked at both passports, gave a slip of paper and sent other back to wait at vehicle. One person entered and waited to have passport checked, slip of paper stamped (no passport stamp) and then move to line to turn in TIP. The paper TIP was stamped and held. The. The slip of paper was stamped again.
Done. Never checked vehicle or
Dogs. Return to vehicle in parking lot and advance to the Chile entry point. (Ioverlander pin is in wrong location)
See my comment for entering Chile on other pin.

Argentina to Chile with casa rodante and dogs-
After exiting Argentina (see info on other pin) advance to this building. Find parking close to building and go inside.
First get passport stamped AND that little slip of paper from Argentina exit AND show vehicle document. Get back slip of paper and two new little papers. (Save those papers) Then go to next room. Everyone must fill out a declaration form. Walk to window with car documents and little slip from Argentina. Get TIP. Return to car and drive under canopy for inspection. Give them everyone’s declaration form. Then wait- they did a complete check of the camper. They took lemons and honey. Okay with cheese and salami and yogurt. Then went inside building to look at dog papers and waved us up to park. Kept one copy of Senasa papers, stamped all others and returned to me.
Return to parked vehicle and depart.

Very overpriced. But there are only two options in town. Besides the price, it did the job and was a good place to do laundry.

1500 per person, plus 500 for a car. can put your tent in small shelters to protect it from the wind. showers and toilets are basic but sufficient.

I don't even know where to start. I bought a 1993 Itasca motorhome close by and took it to the guys at Chuck's. Dennis Sr, Dennis Jr, Bucky and the whole crew were just absolutely amazing. Had to stay around for three days for the service and communication was great and honest, always giving me choices. They advised me on a lot of things, we changed filters, front brakes, racks, batteries, and my rig was absolutely perfect after it. Im doing a road trip all over country and def coming back here before I drive to Canada. When you live on the road it's always about the people, not places. Thank you so much for everything, guys!

Had to wait 20 minutes for power (station runs off their own big generator) so idk why it was humming away the whole time. Anyway it wasn't a big deal, 20 minutes is not long. No other stations for long ways so you better get fuel if you need it. Like others said regular and diesel only (never premium, no hose for it anyway).

We were told cash only so be prepared for that (always in MX have extra cash). Takes pesos or dollars, but their conversion rate is worse than average, so have Pesos if possible.

The place was trashed and it was really busy with people who where just hanging around the lot. We didn’t stay the night.

Spent a Friday night here after striking out on other overnight spots. It was great because I was getting worried I wasn’t going to locate one. It is very gracious of Cracker Barrel allowing travelers to stay here.

Nice place but pricey at 300 per person. Jose, the bilingual owner, agreed to let us park in the lot for 150 each. We couldn't find the camper bathroom, so took showers in our swimsuits at the pool (nice pool) and used the toilet in the parking lot. Quiet at night. Restaurant closes at 5 on weekends. You can walk from here to the pier.

You can come here and buy gas at a cheaper price than any other place in Belize (about 1 by dollar less)

Correct name is: Casa Monge. The bridge to access the property is bases on tree trunks and can probably carry up to 10 tons (just my estimate), the height limit is around 3.2 to 3.4 meters depending on the width (the bridge has a gable roof). Stayed here 2 nights. Paid 4000 pppn. The place at the river is close to the bathroom building where you have water and electricity. The quetzals can be seen flying around at sun rise and sun set, but you can find them in their trees also during daytime. The owners can show you the favorite trees of these birds. January to March is a good time to come here as the males have the long feathers at this time of the year.

Hidden gem. Agree with the previous comments. The staff here are doing a great job. Remote and beautiful campsite. Clean toilet and water available. Wind protection for tents and vehicles. It’s no more than 30 minutes from Ruta 40. Ruta 41, connecting with Chilean X83 and the border crossing at Paso Roballos should also not be missed. This is one of the most scenic roads in South America. Vastly different on each side of the border. If your vehicle can handle the bottom half of Carretera Austral and the gravel parts of Ruta 40, this road is no worse (better conditions we think).
