Check-Ins

Campsite nestled between mountains and a river. (McDowell Mountain) stumbled upon it at night. Free to park and stay overnight, there are other RVs and car campers, secluded area.. dirt road to get through but I had no problem in my sedan.

Great spot! Nice toilets, showers, chill out area with a fantastic fireplace. elec, sewage and water. we got a last place there but arrived late. sound travelers, friendly staff and rhey sell wine 250 a bottle which I thought was great value. they also have a place to wash and dry your clothes. we paid 350 for a van and 2 people.

Easy Isolated Jumbo Alien Rocks w Alien Dog & Fairy Gf

Very Good food and simple plate of the day. 20 Qz each plate. Server with tortilla and salsa tomate. Possibility to ask eggs for vegetarian. We paid 95 QZ with 4 plates and 2 soda water

Parked here for the volcano, 5$ for 2 to stay for the day.
You can go to the Santa Anna volcano from here
He asked if we needed a guide we said no if it’s allowed and said no problem

Someone asked us if we needed a guide, we said no if it’s allowed and they said no problem to go alone.
Lot of people and groups here you can follow them, the trek is easy to do, one way you can’t miss it.

The staff was not interested in customers and certainly not excited as they should be in low season. A chicken salad and some chicken wings took over an hour even though we were the only guests.
Food was delicious once it arrived and good value for money.

Pupusas are C50 now.

I found them to be pretty typical. I've had better. I've had worse. Not a bad meal for the price.

No napkins are provided, so maybe bring a couple of your own.

Ouch, 35.000 xof for the visa on arrival for Togo. Bring enough xof with you, there are no exchange guys here to change cedis and they only accept xof.

We‘ve been at Mageds place and he is so super friendly! We could use the washing machine, dryer and shower! Maged is a super nice guy who is very helpful! Thank you so much for everything! Don’t hesitate, just text him and enjoy the hospitality :)

45p for two 7gal aquatainers and a five gallon jug. They washed them very, very well as they were covered in dirt. They even helped me carry them to the van. Super nice staff

New manager since Sep ‘22. Let us camp inside the compound free of charge. Wouldn’t accept money and said we can eat in restaurant if we want to contribute. Had Thüringer sausage, very nice! We were able to take a shower and I had a swim in the pool (ask first). There will be a new manager in 6 months for now camping is back on 👍

boat trips have not been authorized for a few months and fishermen will refuse to let you on board.

Only for big rigs which are lot able to enter the kennedy mall parking. There’s ONE place to park big rigs … here !

We had no problems buying the insurance for 3 months for Chile for our Canadian plated van!
23.000 pesos
Super friendly and fast!
We also exchanged our remaining Soles at an okayish rate:)

We contacted beforehand and they told me that they are undergoing maintenance until 11 March!
Sounded very friendly- might be worth a stop when open again!

A gravel area with some trees between road and river. Nice views on the nature but a lot of garbage. We had quite night here.

Exceptional spot to spend several days. Spot facing the sea. Magical sunset. Easy access. Safe. No one else on the spot or on the beach

Awesome!! The people are super nice and super safe. We loved it !

We arrived around 6 pm on a Saturday, and the brewery was not open. There were two RVs already parked when we got there. It was very quiet, and we felt very safe.

We spent two nights here. Arrived on a Saturday evening. Felt very safe and welcomed by the neighbours. Met some other Overlanders who had been here a week in total. There are a few buses that also park here so it’s a busy little road but other than that, very close to the main plaza and a good base for nearby hikes to waterfalls etc. We do recommend checking out Cafe Jardín where the Jardín letters are for beautiful views over the Pueblo and amazing cafe food.

You cannot stay at the Walmart/Destin as Walmart does not own the land (as told by a local homeless guy). He recommended this Walmart as there is absolutely no overnight parking anywhere in Destin for boon-docking. He says he lives there 😕 We got lucky and found a campground (not cheap at all). If your military or former military there is a campground with a reasonable rate and great spot if you have bikes. Destin has made it so you can’t do anything after midnight to 7am.

400 pesos by person with hot shower and a river near by. so if you need to sleep in this ruta 25, it is the best spot by far if you don't mind paying 1euro 😝

Wonderful panoramic view, very quiet but very strong wind. Easy to access and free!

amazing views, lot's of hiking trails.
195pppn
in low Saison Campsite guest are also very welcome at the pool ( in high Saison you probably don't want to be at the pool)
very friendly, nice restaurant
nice ablutions

This area is really a day use area. As others have said, it is 8hr stay and not overnight. The camping is starting to get out of hand and upsetting locals who want to use their day use area for picnic etc. RCMP are starting to make efforts. May be ok for quick overnight nap but it is not a campground

Close to a shallow river (appears clean), deeper if you follow the current. Horses are free. Locals are friendly. Possibility to do a fire, woods around.

We parked for two days/nights right on the beach, along with many other Ticos who were camping and enjoying family time over the weekend. Very busy on the weekend and almost completely empty on a Monday morning. We loved the experience of doing what Ticos do on the weekend: we grilled food and enjoyed cold beverages, we enjoyed a beach fire, we swam over and over again, we cherished the shade, and listened to lots of local amateur DJs spin their playlists. Police came by several times and everyone was following the minimal rules that exist in CR for beach camping. Several restaurants and services are available including showers and toilets. We enjoyed a Sunday eve meal at Coco’s which is spendy but very tasty. The waves are very gentle here and great for swimming. The grocery store at the junction with the highway may be the nicest/most expensive grocery store in the whole country, but if you want/need it, they’ve got it.

As described. Very recommended. Very friendly owners and staf will to help and accommodate you. No fixed price for staying, you can give a small propina if you like.
Not very large, we stayed with two 6m vans and a Toyota pick up camper. Than the place is full.
They a working on expanding next door at the moment.

Stayed here one night. Best shower in 5wks. Small cabin for shower (3x) and toilets (3x). Not cold despite outside tempo (10c). Owner was oké and polite. Covered area for cooking, and sitting. Cold water available but no cooking facilities. Large lawn for motorhomes and tents. Quite expensive (CLP 20.000) for 2p plus motorhome, but worth it looking at available alternatives in town
