Check-Ins

Great to fill onboard RV tanks, and bottles.

The original pinned location was very incorrect. Thank goodness they posted a pic of the map! Double check that the pinned location is actually correct!

Playa Bamba, beside the blue rock restaurant
All super friendly people, good little restaurants, surfing in right season and they let us park van no issue.
Pitch tent as well for 50pp mex
So peaceful and quiet, bring supplies and eat at restaurants. Help support this great little community.
Wifi for a few, showers, toilet for free but no charge (shower/toilet) as we paid to eat/stay
Clean here, so nice

We stayed here last night.
50pp a person to camp and worth it.
Amazing beach/area, heard surf is good in season and very clean area. We were adopted by the sweetest black dog who didn’t leave our side the whole time 😔
People are super friendly, SUPER friendly
And we shared business between two places to help support them.
Very quiet we were alone except a few locals for drinks in evening.
Added location for second restaurant here but there is also a third.
End less sand beach and would spend more time if we didn’t have deadline.
I’m sure the turtles come here to hatch as well saw couple skeletal remains on walk to amazing dunes.
They need to start a sand boarding outfit here as well. Just couldn’t communicate that to them

We came up here to go see the ruins and what a treat.

Definitely abandoned but still quite the site
45-60mins of climbing up the trail, from the end of the road you will find the ruins.

Along the walk, almost immediately after you start, you will see remains of walls and structures. At the end of the trail is a grand reward.

We camped at end of road and it was beautiful evening but the BUGs are brutal FYI
Great sunrise

we were there for changing the breakshoes and an inspection of the breaking system. The service was really great! we went to 4 different mechanics in town first, but the other shops were closed or not interested in repairing a diesel car. so we came to Vicar's Mechanic. the boss is very sympathic and competent, he knows what he is doing. thats a mechanic shop you hope to find abroad! i recommend this shop and would totally come back. the best thing: the autozone shop is right over the street, when you need some parts, just go there and buy it.

Beautiful and silent place. Hot shower. The owners are very kind and friendly.

I asked him on the phone to come to Sharjah an fill our 5 kg Cadac gas cylinder. He whatsApped me, that this will cost 250 AED = 64 Euros. Negotiations failed. Far overpriced! Useless to say, that we didn't do it.

We were disappointed with this campsite after previous reviews. The location is perfect for visiting Samburu NP as it is literally a couple of minutes from the gate. However I feel the campsite has been neglected, the toilets were quite frankly disgusting, the showers worked OK and we're refreshing but again dirty. I did engage with the team at the camp and although friendly they did not clean the ablutions even when asked, I cleaned a toilet just so we could use it. But we did have a huge elephant walk through the camp in the middle of the night and we stayed 2 nights to optimise our 24 hour park entry with an afternoon drive one day and an early morning drive the next day. I just feel it is a real shame as with a very small amount of work this campsite could be a gem. 1000 ksh pppn

Campsite directly on a beautiful beach. Very friendly and helpful owners who live in the back. Basic facilities are there (pit toilet, bucket shower) and they cook delicious Gambian dishes. We ended up staying for 3 nights! You’ll need a 4x4 to drive to the place as you’ll have to cross some sand. It’s also possible to stay here with your tent.

Llegamos aprox 18hr y buscamos un claro para acampar. Es un buen sitio para carpa, hay que tener cuidado con las espinas. Pasamos una noche muy seguros por que no se ve prácticamente nada hacia la calle. El único problema es el tren y la planta de celulosa que hacen muchísimo ruido durante toda la noche.

Still possible to tap drinkwater after you ask nicely 😁👍
Gave some tip and tanked diesel here.

Need potable water? Every gazebo has a spigot at one of the corners. Fill a jug, bucket of pail. If you wish to stretch a host there are hose threads on the spigots. You'll need to get your rig close. Ok to park short term near gazebos as long as not blocking traffic.

Adding this one because it’s not on Google. And can be very necessary when traveling. Delete if you wish. Just a general, all purpose pharmacy.

Very interesting collection. Fun to look around. Kitchen closes during mid-day but can still get coffee and desserts and toasted sandwich. Returned after it opened for a true meal. It was sort of blah in flavor. But the service is attentive and the place of fun to look around. Parking in front for any size rig. Even if it looks closed, it’s not. Ask to see second room of collection.

I slept here one night, I was the only vehicle. No problem but I didn't feel safe. Very dark, lots of dogs, a bit of comings and goings of vehicles. If you sleep here add reassuring comments!

We went there with the aim of spending a night or two there, the place looked very beautiful. The lady at the entrance asked us 600 pesos per night for our class C 24 ft, impossible to negotiate (same price dry camping)... We finally slept at Platanitos. They should charge less and full there places and restaurant!

we stayed there yesterday and a police officer woke us up at midnight as we would not sleep there. he was very Nice and brought us to Texan gaz station 5min away. we finished the night there. i would not recommand staying there.

we spent two quiet nights here, but stood a little further to the right on the path because it smelled very much of fish

Perfect location to camp. Lots of trees to block the wind or setup a hammock.

por longe um dos lugares mais mais onde ficamos! Não tem ducha, mas disponibiliza agua. No centro da cidade. Da pra fazer tudo caminhando na bela Mendoza. Além de tudo a atenção espectacular do Domingos e do Matias. Pagamos $1500 por diaria na nossa Sprinter, duas pessoas. Ficamos 4 dias. Excelente!

Old rundown and dirty (I had to pull a few long black hairs off the sheets and pillowcase before bed so I used my tshirt as a pillowcase). but great location with parking for large vehicles (see pic). It's right before the hotel on the same side of the road. Friendly staff.

Standard Walmart
Lots of bright lights
Handful of other vans
Closest spot I could find to snowbasin

Very much covered in snow and not accessible this time of year

It appears Crisman Hollow Road is closed for the winter. Gate was locked. This is the only camp site available in the area right now! Good spot to spend the night, not good for trailers or super large rigs. I have a van and a tow car and was able to back both vehicles into the site separately.

Great place on the beach. Low water pressure but we could fill our bottles. Nice view. Definitely recommended

Spent the night in the small lot to the north lot of BPS next to the boats. Didn't ask for permission and nobody bugged me. Good night's sleep, just a bit of highway noise.

The village is indeed in a nice location bit everything you could do as a tourist is quite expansive. Just to have the right to walk in the village, you have to pay 50 cedis. Waterfall and the canopee tour : 75 cedis. The walk to the top of the hill (20 min walk max) is 50 again... we left after a little talk with the tourist office woman. No hassle at all, but you have to pay.

A really great place to stay for a few night. Its peaceful, it gets fresh at night, toilet and shower available... Jean, the owner, is an amazing person, super friendly and really interested in travelers. He speaks french and english : half Togolese/half Ghanean. We paid 50 cedis each to stay the night. The food at the restaurant is really decent compare to every other restaurant we experienced. We are 3.2 meters high and we could park in a really nice and flat spot. There is indeed low branches but we just pushed them going very slow. We saw a lot worse but we wouldnt recommend for a truck much higher than us.

They didn't let us park our motorcycles in the hostel, to be fair they only have a small patio that is used by the guests and they'd only let you park a bicycle or maybe a very small motorbike. We stayed anyway, there's few cheap private parkings around the area and the hostel was nice, for a private room during the week we paid around 11000ars
