Really lovely camp ground with amazing views of the mountains and near a nice stream. There are private campsites at designated sites and a larger circular campground with a bathroom. There are fire pits and a small ranch road nearby. I would highly recommend this spot!

We were there and it was great fun. We were a mixed group, about 20 people, young and old, from many different countries. The atmosphere is relaxed and you can leave at any time. It's not compulsory to speak only English for an hour and then only Spanish for an hour. Great way to meet new people and learn languages.

If you’re heading north you’ll see the back of the sign and it says “skull was here”. Parking for 2 big rigs immediately as you pull off, parking further back along 2 separate short roads not big rig friendly. Very little traffic being so close to the road. None after dark. Checks the boxes

Tried getting there but it is really sandy, we got stucked and had to get helped by some neighbors. If you come here, park at the really beginning of the beach where the sand is tough. However, would clearly not recommend getting there : we met 2 neighbors and both told us it could be pretty dangerous to spend the night there as there are robberies. One of the neighbors offered us a place to park in his garden instead.

Very nice campground! USD21 if you don’t need electricity. Lots of trees, so we’re not able to use Starlink. The park is beautiful! Couldn’t find any free places to spend the night close by, so ended up in the campground.

Lots of camp sites available for our 1 night stay. Lots of big trees for shade, although was a little muddy in well worn areas (like the doorway areas at each site) after a good rain. Bathrooms clean and convenient. After hours check in easy. Lots of space to walk the dogs. We hooked up power and water. Primitive areas are big grass lot. Beautiful countryside and quick drive to main entrance to see the giant KY Horse Park.

Great spot, only 20 min drive from Edmonton. Frequently visitwd by locals, no one bothered us, beatiful trail right next to the river. We stayed for 3 nights in a row, while visiting Edmonton in daytime.

this lace is nothing special but it is good spot to stay a night on your way from Atyrou to beyneu.

coming from Atyrou take a right when you see a few buildings on your left. drive between the two little sand hills. you'll see a bit of a dip in the terrain that provides some shelter.

not completely invisible from the road but especially in the dark nobody will notice you.

there is some trash around unfortunately.

Coffee house with musical instruments for any one to sit down and play. Plenty of parking for people to spend the night in vans.

We stayed here for one night! Staff is okay. There are no showers for men. The women shower is okay, not a lot of Pressure. The campground for cars is small but really nice. The lagoon itself is beautiful! Internet only works at the “restaurant”.

Ficamos 3 noites estacionado em frente as quadras de Beach tênis. Lugar seguro com posto policial, mercado, lanchonetes e restaurantes ao redor. Tem uma ducha de água fria entre a praia e as quadras e banheiro usamos dos restaurantes e do posto. Tem um ponto de energia na árvore e nos banquinhos em frente às quadras, conversamos com o Marcos que da aula lá nas quadras disse que é tranquilo ficar lá e usar a energia. Conversamos tb com os funcionários do restaurante Colher de Pau e nos deixaram encher a caixa d’água.

We stayed two nights 2p and motorhome and paid ARS 4,000 per night. We were also able to use washing machine of owner for ARS 1,000. Perfect safe location close to San Juan. Taxi to center ARS 1,500. Hot shower. Hot water at sink. All very clean. Plenty of space to relax in garden. Large BBQ. In summer swimming pool. Not big. Max 3 small motorhomes (pick-up) i guess. Not for big rigs. WiFi ok.
Tel nmbr of owner (gladys) 0264-454 5271. Very helpful.
No sinage outside. Also youu can find her on google maps. 100% recommend this.

Great place to stay the night, no tents allowed but OK for motorhomes. Just crossing the bridge to your left you will find the parking lot.

Oh my god. I am not a salad bowl personal but this might have changed my life. Healthy food never tasted so good for my Indian taste buds. Definitely a must try if you vegan

Lovely and safe. Hot showers, great little yard to pitch a tent. Swimming pool. Owners are friendly. It was a little expensive, but we had a wonderful time!

Spent 3 nights here. The pit toilet mentioned in an earlier post was a little difficult to spot at first. There is a sign that points you to it, but it is now inside the woodline instead of just outside it as seen in photos here. If you stand facing the sign for the trail, you’ll find the toilet path over your left shoulder.
As mentioned in earlier posts, it’s totally open so if anyone else is around the trailhead, they’ll definitely see you using it.
During my stay, I only saw 3 other vehicles pull into this area. 2 took to the trail and then left within a few hours and the last was someone from nps there to mow the grass around the road. No one said anything about me being there.
Bug spray is a must! And flea/tick prevention for your pups if you have them. I was constantly finding ticks on me and my 3 mutts despite my spray and their preventative.

Parking giving access to the beach and close to the pink lakes. The beach is beautiful and the spot is rather quiet despite being on the roadside, there is not much passage.

The signs say you can “rest/sleep” for 10 hours. I did such. Friendly staff, 24 hr washrooms, washroom sink has warm water, water bottle filling station by washrooms. Full of other vanlifers as well, friendly all around and a life saver after not finding any open camp spots on 128 Friday night!

Came and stayed for the night. Many open spots during the weekday. Washboarded in some spots but manageable if going slow. Beautiful views and beautiful pines. Really enjoyed our stay. Picked up some garbage left behind from other campers. Make sure you do the same!!

not really nice but a good spot to sleep between Kirkuk and Arbil...
a loot of trash but no smell. quiet at night only some locals, but nobody bothered us.

Best option before or after Erbil 35.62217, 44.33022

This bridge is not safe. It is tilting about 30 degrees and has a very difficult approach. It is a structural problem which will take long time to fix (years?). A local tried to convince us to try it out anyway but there is a limit to bravery/craziness. So if you are driving into the valley, do not cross the otherwise wonderful new bridge about 2km earlier to the south side of the river. The only passable way to pass Darzhomch is on the north side of the river.

We changed CFA to Naira here. It’s almost impossible to get cash at banks & atms so make sure you exchange enough cash for the entire trip.
