Check-Ins

Spent a couple of nights here: 2 people + 1 dog in a Ford Transit van.

Awesome vibes at this place. Marcos is super kind and you can tell this place is only going to keep improving.

We thought it was great for the price. We paid Q50 per night. I would recommend messaging Marcos ahead of time to make sure there is space to park. There is only enough space for 2-3 vehicles. Anything longer than a Ford Transit/Sprinter type van will probably not fit.

We loved:
-shower with great pressure
-flush and compost toilets with toilet paper
-drinking water!
-common area had a long table to work from
-full kitchen
-good spot to launch a paddle board (just have to wade through a bit of mud first)

There are loads of organic foods being grown, and we hope some day soon Marcos can offer whatever is in season for purchase 👍🏼 I saw loads of kale that I wanted to eat!

Marcos also does hiking tours, but we didn’t do any.

If you want to explore San Juan and San Pedro, I recommend stopping here and walking or taking a tuktuk into San Pedro. I drove all throughout San Pedro and one wrong turn puts you down the tightest roads I’ve ever driven. Plus you have to pay a Q5-10 town tax for each town, so you may as well leave your car and take a tuktuk.

San Juan has an amazing energy to it. Really friendly people all around the city. I felt like a local for the 2 days I was there.

Note: the parking area isn’t totally flat, but we leveled out easy enough with two maxtrax boards and angling at a 45 degree angle towards the hostel.

A laundromat that is open 24 hrs ! Not in the best part of town. But close to the Highway

This place was a bit easy to miss from the road, and I ended up having to backtrack. I got there about 5 pm, and the first spot already had someone there. I was nervous about going up to the higher spots because I had like 0 offroading experience, but I ended up getting to the top spot with very little difficulty in my nissan rogue. Slept peacefully and had no one else around me. When I came back down the next morning at around 5 am, I noticed a total of 3 different car campers were all crammed into the spot at the bottom and no one else tried to come up the hill. Glad I went for it despite my nerves. I was a bit surprised so many people were there, even on a random Wednesday in May. Seems to be a very popular camping spot with the limited availability in the area and the proximity to the AMR parking area a couple minutes down the road. Definitely some road noise all throughout the night since it is right next to the road, but it wasn't bad. Absolutely no T-Mobile service.

Agriturismo that offers camping for campers. it has a decent playground for kids. offseason we paid 15 euro per night for 2 adults and 2 kids. unsure what electricity costs.

Complex with rooms and cabanas. Outside patio, pool, place to cook. Average Wifi. Good secured parking. Paid 6000 for a room for 2. Nice quiet place to stop late in the season

Road is Open again, with big Parking Lot now.
Maybe in the future they gone close it if there is more trash around!!
Told me a guy from pei.

TAKE YOUR TRASH WITH YOU and leave the place cleaner then it was.

Very good mechanic! He recognized the root case of our issues and repaired quickly (brakepads and cross mounting of the driveshift).
When you are at the place his spare parts shops is at the far right and joined by the wall by his workshop. Look for the spare parts shop, ask for Saud or whatsapp him.

It’s a big parking lot for buses and cars. There is NO SIGNS saying no overnight or rv/motorhome. It’s peaceful and a deer came to visit us :)

nice spot.off.a dirt road about a mile from Suttle Lake.

Got there around 3pm left around 7:30am no issues, pretty noisy road though, parking signs clearly dictate where you can park

Nice spot beind the bombero posto to spend a quiet night. Currently no surfing allowed for fishing season (May-June).

Passamos uma noite aqui! Ótimo lugar para descansar no caminho de Cusco. Tem uma alpaca no jardim, o nome dela é Valentina. Cuidado com as aranhas no banheiro.

Basic, inexpensive campground along the Meuse river. Facilities dated, but clean. 10 minutes walk to village. Flat, grassy terrain, partly shaded. Dish washing facilities. €10 per night (2 adults, campervan, no power).

Beautiful free campsite! It was so nice we ended up extending our stay here. Around 20 sites with pit toilets, bins, picnic tables and fire rings. We arrived on Wednesday ahead of the long weekend and manage to grab one of the last sites - first come first serve.

Most state parks, campings, trails and rest areas are closed until middle of June in this area.

A 100% German hospitality experience in Ecuador. It was so nice to be here!

Hans is a very hard working German guy and well-known and appreciated host by everyone. The site has everything an overlander dreams of and a beergarten exactly like you’ll find in Germany. Mark our words - You’ll be deeply impressed by the German specility beer offerings and the food menu.

Many overlanders come here as you can see in the reviews and we’ve met some awesome fellow travellers. Definitely worth the stay if you are in the area.

Great location - Very quiet on Outdoors side since store is currently only using grocery side entrance.

Great stop on the route. The father showed us the beautiful church. Nice ablutions. We donated 1000,- for the two of us.

Nearly nothing left of the tar, but otherwise OK gravel road, not even 4x4 required in this area.

Diesel and petrol available, didn't ask for credit card payment.

Entrance height closer to 9 ft as our promaster van with max air vent fan fit underneath. Cleanest, most welcoming option of the open campgrounds near the beach here, but still not great. Asked 50 per person for motorhome. Tent camping 40 pp. Bathrooms with warm suicide showers. 110v in parking area. Wi-Fi very weak in camp area for vans. Better in tent zone. Street dogs barked off and on all night and random thumping music from cars.

Small self service laundry, also provides laundry service. Has large (22kg) and small (9kg) machines and detergent. They don't have a lot of machines, so come early if you don't want to wait.

Prices:
- washing, large 95p small 52p
- drying, large 80p small 50p
- detergent 7p for a single use

Open 8:00 to 20:00, 8:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.

Nice relaxed campground with friendly people and a couple of animals. Has everything you need and is quiet at night. Only advisable for smaller vans and tents.

this area is still closed. gate is locked. I'm staying at the diamond for campground and wanted to go there this weekend but not to be. at this point I'm being told June 1st.

The camping follows the same value: 3USD per person, per night. Admission to the park is free and you must enter before 3pm. The bathrooms, coffee and barbecue are away from the camping area.
_________

O camping segue o mesmo valor: 3usd por pessoa, por noite. A entrada no parque é gratuita e você deve entrar até as 15h. Os banheiros, o café e a churrasqueira ficam afastados da área de camping.

Most friendly and comfortable Hotel in Quime I would say!
It seems to be the only Hotel in town which offers Wifi. There is a huge green area and swimming pool in front. You could camp or park your vehicle there.
Roberto is a very helpful, considered and communicative host.
He let me cook some simple food and hot water. His son and wife were as well always charming.
The prize was about 80 BOL for one person, I guess for 2 people you can get a room for 100 BOL and camping may be around 30 - 40 BOL.
I highly recommend this place and would always return there!

a popular hotel and restaurant with many of the expats and wealthier crowd. the owner is a super lovely dude and the food here is incredible for the price. dishes hovered around 8000-12000. We had fish carpaccio, Cray fish and rolled beef in cheese. (we did feel very fancy) it was some of the best sea food and meat dishes we have had on the trip. perfect for a special treat or reflexed evening!

Nice big level Cracker Barrel lot. There were at least 10 vans, campers etc when I got there. Quiet enough to get a good rest.

Very skilled and friendly garage which was willing to help us with our European registered car and own parts. We had an issue with the engine of our VW Crafter. After visiting quite some garages which were not able or willing to help, Craig was happy to help out. He is a very skilled mechanic, super friendly person and asked for a very fair price.

As described. Awesome place, peaceful, quiet, lots of space. Bathrooms are clean, the ranger even brought fire wood.
We loved it here!
