Check-Ins

Typical Walmart parking lot. I see another trailer in the lot .

The first part of the road is easy for any vehicle, gets soft as you get closer to the hills. Most spots are pull offs along the dirt road. I stayed in the first spot closest to the highway. Traffic noise died down at night & it wasn't a bother. Can be very busy with ATVs during the day. 1-2 bars with TMobile

We arrived in the city on a day of celebration and loud music, so we needed a place farther away, and this place was great :)
About 2 km from the city, we spent two quiet nights here. The only point is that the terrain is steep, you will need to level the car to sleep better here.

Chegamos na cidade em um dia de festa e música alta, por isso buscamos um lugar mais afastado, e esse lugar foi ótimo :) Cerca de 2 km da cidade, passamos duas noites tranquilas por aqui. a única questão é que o terreno é íngrime, você necessitará nivelar o carro para dormir melhor aqui.

it's a very nice place, İbrahim the owner is very also very nice. you can do a lot of activities and walk to the beach 10 minutes. we took a taxi from here to Dakar to the Douane for Carnet Stamp, just ask at the Camping!

Nice flat ground beside the road, in visible from the road. Good point for over night stop close to Chimoio

Perfect place to refill our RV propane tank
4.03$/gal

perfect night in the desert.
you can continue on the road and you have some others spots.
we slept just before the Ranch fence with our 24 feet RV with no problem.
very quiet and the sky was beautiful.

Nice clean hotel, with a private parking lot in the back. We paid 220SAR for an apartment with separate bedroom and sitting area with couches. (no kitchen, but fridge kettle and prep counter)

it's a public parking in front of the Oxxo store, close to Expo Guadalajara. I spend here 2 night. it's a little noise.

It appears that the municipality no longer wants large rigs staying at the palapas. Last night, the authorities came and made people pack up and move (in the dark), away from the palapas to the area outside of the day area. Maybe it is just on weekends. I think the palapas are for day use only now. If you do not want to pack up in the night, find a place in town or at the parking lot (at the ‘e’ sign), before you get to the palapas.

Update: the above is verified. This morning, we witnessed 3 police vehicles stop at a palapa with an SUV and trailer on the beach and asked them to leave, since they did not leave last night.The police videoed the event and took photos of the truck, camper, license plate, people, etc. The police were very nice to the couple who seemed not to want to leave.

Lovely spot. Small grass ledge that was just big enough for our 3 man tent. Pebbly beach for morning swim in the river.

Ok campsite with huts that you can pitch your tent in. Especially when it’s extremely windy. UWA really try to keep the ablutions clean and water tank full. Prices as per their website. You can pay for a ranger at the visitors center. He’ll be dropped by their vehicle w

Free camp spots on BLM. The further up the dirt road you go, the more secluded you are from the highway. There are other vans/campers today but it was still easy finding an empty spot. Full bars 5G with AT&T.

This is a very remote and secluded spot at the North most Lava Flow Trailhead. From Vekol Valley Road drive up BLM Road 8042 approx 7 kms a somewhat rough and narrow road. It will lead you here to the end. Only a couple of spots to camp once you get here. No fire rings, but a great view of the valley below. Good T-mobile reception. The trailhead offers you a choice of trails according to our Gaia app.
Suggest 4wd and high clearance - no big rigs.

Very clean, inviting campground equipped with hammocks, showers, cooking areas, and option for host to prepare delicious meals.

Sergio, the new owner is super nice. This place is awesome, in the palm trees right by the river doesn't get much better. No signs yet, but drive in by the little house. They are working on building a bathroom. should be ready in a few weeks. They are also cleaning up from the hurricane. But wow loved this place. 200 peso per night. Only thing is if you have Starlink, pick your spot accordingly because of the palm trees. works fine for emails and general use, video mettings for work are hit or miss. Data signal was strong so we hot spotted for the meeting then switched back to starlink.

Lovely hotel with pool and beach area. Very friendly staff! We could camp at the parking lot and use the facilities (good shower, toilet and pool). We had dinner at the restaurant in return. Main courses around 10.000 CFA.

Amazing place to go. I do recommend it.
RV area is perfect. Water, electricity and disposal.
In front of an amazing lake.
Totally calm place, no noise. We went in the middle of the week, so we had only our RV there.
New are for showers and W/C. Fully built with wood, amazing craft work. Nicer than my house.
Central area for lunch, shared kitchen, area to wash your clothes.
I will return for sure.

Slept here one night arriving from El Calafate with the bike.

Really does the job, protect you from the wind, enough space for 6-8 cyclist.

River near, was nice !

Confirm, bad Filipino for the bike. Maybe the worst I experienced.

Most of the time, you have wind back to Esperanza. Maybe a better idea to push to Esperanza and wake up early the next day to ovoid wind when you turn west.

No really sure you save time to take this road. But landscape are nice en police station as well.

BLM boondocking w/ perks.. water & dump on location for use for a fee. nice hiking in area.

Same as a la description. Même que la dernière description.

very large flat area, perfect windprotection, firepits (it was very windy, but the windprotection is so good, we could make a fire), space for a lot of tents, lake behind the trees, water of the lake seems to be potable (with filter?), a big rock to watch the lake and sunset, trashbin, very friendly neighbours who told us to camp here. only a few fishermen come here.
sportfishing only with license. you have to release the fish!
there are some smaller spots around, also next to the lake, but the big spot here is the place to stay :)
watch your food and the dogs! a dog took our lunchbox at night.

TAP Water, right beside the Municipal Camping.

I work in this area and unfortunately there are no overnight parking signs up now.

Typical African lodge with simple rooms for a cheap price.. We stayed in the backyard and slept in our rooftent (paid for a room to use toilet and shower). Grace, the owner, and her family were very welcoming and prepared a nice meal for us in the evening. One big downside : the musicbar next door plays very loud music and when we where there, they played till 3 AM so no sleep until then. But a good stopover for one night before or after the bordercrossing.

Me quede aca 2 noches durante dias de semana estacionado al lado de la garita de tickets para la isla. Lugar perfecto para vehículos pequeños o medianos como el mio. Cabe destacar que el parque esta cerrado por lo cual atribuyo la tranquilidad a eso, ya que llegan bastantes autos que al ver que esta cerrado se regresan. Muy tranquilo aunque es posible que durante fines de semana sea muy concurrido durante el dia. El lugar tiene policia las 24hs. Hay agua disponible (desconozco si es potable). Gente caminando o en bicicleta por la costanera hasta media noche. Poco tránsito de autos. Bonitos paisajes. Hay un bar con buen wifi, a la fecha la contraseña es: f1a1b1i1o1r1u1i1z1. Espero ahorrarles una consumision!

Overnight stays with a free permit are welcomed. No tents, cooking outside, awnings, pets left in your rig, et cetera. Security personnel are awesome. There are 3 semis and 7 RVs ranging from a vanlifer to a Newmar motorhome here tonight. So far.

Great rustic first-come, first-served campground with fire pits, picnic tables, and pit toilets.

Nice quiet grassed campsite with access to beach and river.
We paid R200 in Feb for 2, incl. power (when no loadshedding!), hot showers.
Mobile LTE coverage (when no loadshedding).
