Check-Ins

CLOSED. I could find no trace of this site and the locals knew nothing about a campsite.

No firewood from Namibia into South Africa but meat and fresh veg ok. Nam side check you have a park booking before they will stamp you out. Friendly guy on Nam side , so nice to see a smiley guy on passport control.

Overall a very quiet place to stay at night for us as there were few others here. It was noisier in the morning as a large truck decided to park right next to us. The toilets are a bit run down, but they’re clean. They sell fantastic chipas for $400 pesos apiece so there’s a nice breakfast for cheap.

This is the national health building but on the very top four, the fourth floor, there is a vaccine center where you can get any vaccine you need. I needed the typhoid vaccine and they had it.

When I arrived at McDonalds it looks like campers are welcome I’ll be back.

Ouvert maintenant ok pour très grand VR et très propre

Very nice place to have a break or stay overnight. Nice view and lots of space.

The cave tubing tour were still 60Q. You are guided thru the cave. The water level was really low. you hike for 20 min. and get in the river. I camped out at the property. I am not sure if it's extra 30Q for night stay or not? When I bought tubing tickets he said overnight stay will be 30Q, but never got charged. Another person said here that if you visit cave, stay is included. Nice and quiet place to stay.

We arrived here on this beautiful beach without 4x4. You have to drive on a sandy way, but it was no problem for our car.
It is not a very remote place though. There are many private Lots and cabanas. But the locals told us, that they are empty most times of the year. The first night we parked in front of such an empty cabana. Late at night a very calm and friendly man told us that this private land and that we should leave the next day. We guess he was taking care of the private Lots. The next day we left in the morning and found a chilled and more hidden place a few hundret meters further in the shade in front of the beach. Local people are passing by with motos, but all very friendly. Definately a good place to stay! A Restaurant and a little shop are also here close by, if you are running out of sth. Just avoid parking in front of a private cabana 😉

on est arrivé vers 15h. on a demandé combien de temps à pied, la personne nous a dit 1h30 pour monter à Vinicunca. ils proposent des quads à 150 soles (2 places) ou des motos avec chauffeur pour 80 soles, 20 minutes pour monter. la vue est magnifique même si il y a de la neige en ce moment.

This place was closed when we drove there.

Good wifi available in the parking lot of McDonald’s !

The owner seems to have understood that he can take advantage of travelers... now he takes 25000COP per night and per vehicle without service and for ultra noisy spot (dog and road). We advise against it! The parking outside in front (only one place) is really on the side of the road (very noisy) and not sure that it allows it now.

Le propriétaire semble avoir compris qu’il peut tirer profit des voyageurs…maintenant il prend 25000COP par nuit et par véhicule sans service et pour spot ultra bruyant (chien et route). Nous déconseillons! Le stationnement à l’extérieur devant (seulement une place) est vraiment en bord de route (très bruyant ) et pas sure qu’il le permette maintenant.

absolutely gorgeous spot and campground! it was still closed when we visited (may 2023) and when we called they didn't know when it would be opening for the season. we spent the night at the boat dock for two nights and there were flat enough spots to park. there is another free campground nearby called Jackson's Island that should be open, recommended by a local guy. the number I called to check if the campground was the one I found on the Google listing!

What a great find not far off I-40. (Make sure you go to Barstow then north because Google Maps has another crazy route it might send you on.) $6/night or $3 with an access pass. Sites are nice with a covered picnic table, fire pit with half grill top, and separate charcoal grill. Pit toilets are fine. Water spigots didn’t work while we were there. There is a trailhead right off the campground. But the views from the sites are spectacular, especially as the sun set. We had a great view of Mars and loved when the bats came out. Another camper said the bees are bad in late summer, but we didn’t have biting anything.

It's still here. Very basic. 20 bolivianos pp. Not super clean, no showers, toilets have water and do flush.
Great courtyard for bicycles.

Unique restaurant of the village of Quigao (it is well marked). Food is on-demand (if it look closed, find the lady in the neighboring house). I had a trucha frita for 10 soles. Breakfast can also be served on demand. The restaurant is located on the opposite end of the village than the hospedaje, near the exit of town going towards Sihuas.

They are also a few bodegas/tiendas in town - but opening hours might be tricky as most seems closed during daytime.

They are two hospedaje in town (none of them are marked). This one is the smaller one I believe.
Very basic, shared bathroom with electric showerhead. Plenty of blankets on the beds.
30 soles. This one in located at one end of town - on the way out to San Miguel.

The other hospedaje has a big metal rounded roof (hard to miss). The only other building with that kind of roof structure is a town gymnasium (both are couple meters away). Didn't go to this one has the owner was out when I arrived.

No claro reception in town - or in the area.

I've been there yesterday, and everything mentioned before is really true.
5 RVs was there for the night, no problem and a full section of the parking is reserved for the RV . I recommended. for free night sleeping.

We stayed for 5 nights. 25,000 pesos per night. Clean bathrooms. The pool is not in use at this time of year. Very nice hosts, good communication and good access to the city centre.

Lovely place. Super clean bathrooms with spacious showers. Paid $26 for tent site. Super friendly. Gave us a free tee shirt.

First spot after the 0.5 mile no camping limit. Space for 3-4, not suitable for large rigs. Road is a little tricky and sandy. Definitely a no for 2WD when wet/snow. We managed in a Ram Promaster 2WD, but definitely wouldn't go beyond that spot. Nice views for sunset. Enjoy!

All true. Very quiet and many places during the night.
Close to walk downtown

I spent the night here. quiet place, super quiet

great spot to camp. it's far enough off the road for privacy. plenty of room for Several. no Verizon signal.

We did the road coming from Huaraz until Huallanca. Great views and many tiny tunnels.
We could still see the rest of the landslides, but they were working on it and the road was easily doable with a 2WD.

Not 24h anymore. Only open until 11 (on certain days) we decided to go to Walmart.

Tranquilo por la noche, fin de semana cuesta conseguir lugar.

We did the 3pm "highlight" tour. Great tour, absolutely recommendable. There is also an "offbeat walk" at 10 am. You should be there shortly before, no booking necessary. The tour lasts about 2.5-3 hours. If you liked it, it is recommended to give 10.000-20.000 pesos. For us it was absolutely worth it. The meeting point is in front of the museum entrance.

Nice family run campground right off I-70. Hot showers, laundry machines available 3$wash 2$ dry we had an unserviced spot for 31$ There large RVs in pull through spots. Small liquor store walking distance but nothing else near by
