Check-Ins

La route est extrême. Après une journée de pluie diluvienne, nous avions besoin de nous arrêter. super accueil. 200 p/ personne pour accès et stationner notre roulotte. Bon restaurant. Bar et plein d'activités offertes. A côté du village si besoin de faire des commissions ou selon!

parking en Gravel mais plat. pour 150p vous êtes super bien placé et avec les wc si vous le souhaitez. il n y avait personne quand je suis arrivé mais une jeune fille super gentille est arrivée après 15 min.

We parked in the spaces to the far south/east section of parking lot next to the opening to an open lot. I’d advise NOT driving into that lot to turn around. It is saturated with water and very muddy. There was a pickup blocking the entrance probably because of that reason. A little noisy because of the I-12 freeway running next to it, but the price is right. Thank you CB for allowing us to spend the night

Beautiful spot and it is EMPTY this time of year! I had unlimited choice in campsites and chose one with a gorgeous backdrop of the mountains. Heard only two other vehicles and saw one person walking a dog, other than that, just me and the coyotes for a few days. The snow has left some deep & soft mud ruts at certain sites. The main road is fine but I needed 4x4 to go back a bit.

As others have said, I’m sure this place is madness in the spring and summer. Definitely worth it to check out, though. I surprisingly didn’t see any trash.

We stayed at the bottom of the sand dunes. We drove about 5 minutes passed this location and found a flat spot sheltered from the wind. You can access the beach about 5 minute up the hill. You can get some cell service

i hav been there to get water many times and i found the best time to get water is after 10:30pm or 11:00pm after any events that might b going on there and the lot is empty

This TIP checkout point doesn't exist anymore. TIP checkout is now at the next roundabout RIGHT, where the Trucks are.

The Passport checkout El Salvador is before the River! make here at a copy shop 2! copies of the checked out El Salvador TIP! 1 takes a policeman behind and the 2nd is for the "Aduana" in Honduras!
New Honduras TIP costs 35$ cash. Passport Check-in costs 3$ pP Cash.
both in the same building. not necessary to change into Honduras currency.

No more health things necessary!!!
We were Friday noon here, all together (incl. checkout El Salvador) less than 90 minutes! did the online pre check a few days before and gave a print to the passport costumer.
update: 1 day later friends of us were ask about health things...

exelent space for motorhome and moto camping, they have River, whaterfull AND full trekkin codo de los andes, fillmation white drone i like, José Luis it's very friendly +59171089683

Nice rest area. In Minnesota parking at a highway rest area is limited to 4 hours, but I have stayed overnight a few times at this particular rest stop.

Signage can be a bit confusing here, so I have included a picture confirming $6 for camping and petroglyphs with the "America the Beautiful" pass. That is the normal pass people under 62 have.
There is no signage about this discount at the campground, only at the day use area. I only looked around for it because other overlanders indicated this discount.

Wide open desert campground, but well spaced and not very busy on a Friday.
Looks like there is some BLM free camping across the main road, although with 4x4 entrances.

They stopped us but no problem at all. Just few minutes of random but very nice and kind conversation. We didn't need to show any document.

Great tourguides with perfect english speaking crew.
You can book online, really easy and was a great snorkeling with the whale sharks. They have a choice of different tours, the sealions snorkeling is possible, too. We booked three days in advance, but they have a lot of slots. Visit their page:

Duty Free Shop also with alcoholic drinks if you are driving towards Jordan, card payment possible.

diesel , 95 - 91 benzin and there are shops and restaurants

Very busy street but lots of space for a few vans. Near houses and street lights. I stayed for a night with no problems. Just make sure to have earplugs!

Nice spot between Ocean and Dune. You can easily swim and fish. Some mussels too.
No shade. Big rigs okay.
The access is a bit sandy but easy with a 4x4.
Take the track at this location -15.691526, 11.935989 and follow the tracks.
Don't go if it has rained a lot.
Nice left to surf if there is bit of swell.

i do not stoped here, just passing forwarding to Chile ( west). Just advising that they made a new road and after here, no more potholes, at least for the next gas station they are saying is better than this one.

And 1500rupie per person in a bigger dormitory.

Btw the prices can sound bit high bcz they charge the 3 (very good) meals

we arrived 17:40 and bought the ticket for 18:00 bc they only sell tickets for the same day. we wanted for the morning of the day after but we would have to queue from 6am...
bicycles don't pay.

Mickey's restaurant. very good and cheap local restaurant on the beach. around 2000cfa a plate. calm and quiet

Loved this campsite. Private ablutions are clean and really well thought out. Braai and kitchen space too. We called ahead on the day to check availability. Camp facilities great - swimming pool, well stocked bar and great sunset views from the rocks. Paid N$280 ppn.

Very nice place, access to little beach to swim in the lake. Quiet and peaceful.

Nice place, quiet. Nobody can see you if you park your car on the Rock to the left. Take the right track from the main road, and left on the Rock. It's better during the raining saison, to not be stuck in the mud.

Nice campground with lots of shade. Sites with roofs and sites without, all with power and light from sunset to midnight. Bathrooms clean and hot showers. 6000 pp for tent camping. Room for vans, not sure about big rigs. Hosts Rodrigo and Pascual are very kind and offer tourism services for sollipulli

Road is open. No problems anymore . We rode this road twice, as we missed the road to Baeza…

Very nice, clean spot, very friendly guy. Only one other group of locals, who left at 9pm.
Paid 5K pesos pp. Bought fresh bread in the morning 1.5k pesos. River is very beautiful, nice for a shallow swim.

Really good place to not miss if you are tired (just like us) of african cuisine. They is everything you want : french cuisine mostly but other stuff like burger or pizza, really well made. Even veggy burger available with tasty french fries. Everything is fresh and made on order so it takes a while but it is worth it, it is delicious. Plan at least 2 hours for the all experience. Good German beers. Prices are really decent, 3500 CFA for a pork stew with fries, for example. The owner Jan is an eccentric character how speaks multiples languages, Dutch, English, French and German. Nice guy. Nice food. Nice place.

Reaaaaaaallly slow place. Dont come here if you are in a hurry.
They also ripped me off : I paid 3000 CFA for 2 giga, my friend next to me paid 2000 for 2 giga. No explaination, just "you didnt order the same offer". Just ask for the price list before you paid anything, people here are not honest and dont seem to know their job. The woman also told me that I didnt buy enough data because Togolese Gigas were different than European Gigas... Best joke ever.

A place to avoid. We went there because we knew a friend how lived nearby the lake on top of the mountains. We didnt give a rat about that waterfall (how dare they call that a waterfall anyway... ) but we had to go through the gate to go to our friend´s place. They made us pay ! No way to take the road without paying ! Huge rip off. They asked 2500 CFA each... we paid 1500 after rough negociations. A lot of yelling going on, the "village gangsters" at the gate are super agressive and the money goes all in their pockets. Difficult to keep it calm there.
