Check-Ins

We stayed one night 2p and motorhome and paid ARS 2,000.
Hot showers only in evening (4pm-10pm). Clean toilets. Electricity and BBQ pit on site. Recommend this place. WiFi around restaurant.

Drove to the islands in my little VW Gol. currently very dry and no issues. got it cleaned afterwards as lots of salt on undercarriage

The road to Leh is closed after Darcha until some time in May (depending on the snow). Jispa is the last village before that. Here are a few options to park around this helicopter landing pad, or even on it. Next to it is an unused Tibetan temple. To get closer to the river was not possible with a van, but with car or bike it works. The views are great. In town are a few restaurants and guest houses, it's a touristic area. But there are more shops and everything in Keylong.
Airtel reception is not the best.
Many construction workers camp and hang out at the heli pad, not sure if it is always like that. They also use the river as washroom. So best to go a couple of hundred meters upstream, if you want to camp at the river.
We didn't have any problems and stayed several days. It is very quiet, nobody disturbed us and the locals are really friendly.

Great territorial CG and hot springs, as already described. The sites are meticulously maintained and was a lovely place to stay. Also, the CG is surrounded by an electric fence to keep large critters out.

Small Walmart but good place in Taos to stay for the night. There were a few others staying and so it felt safe enough.

What an awesome find!! Really cool sites. Was packed when I was there. I found a spot at the very end before the mentioned cliff spot, which was quite sketchy of a road.

Ficamos uma noite aqui, como era Domingo o Centro não estava aberto e não conseguimos energia, mas o lugar super tranquilo e perto de tudo

We stayed here for one night. No issues at all.
It was pretty empty and about 7/8am it started to get busy with locals.

You can use the restrooms at the YPF that’s two blocks away.

Rustic campground associated with rodeo and fairgrounds. Quite.

spacious rest/picnic spot off 67, about 5 minutes outside of Alpine. no bathrooms, no water, no lights. shaded tables. access from either direction. verrrryyyy quiet. minimal road traffic (but I also arrived around 12:30am so...)

Excelente Camping y Cabañas todos los servicios esmerada atención de Eduardo, lugar tranquilo con arboleda muy prolijo

Fantastic place to camp 20 minute ride from the Amboseli NP Kimana Gate. Benjamin, the Massai owner, is an amazing host. He let us park our motorbikes right next to a beautiful, well shaded, camping area.

We chose to camp all inclusive with three delicious meals a day for 4500 shillings per night, per person, negotiable with a longer stay. We came to stay two nights and ended up staying four. There was space available and Benjamin complementary upgraded us to a luxury tent on our last night!

Benjamin and his family are very interesting to talk to, and are extremely welcoming. They also do game drives US$150 for half day US$200 for a full day, park fees extra. We would return. @2kickaround

10/10 as usual, comme d’habitude! Merci Bromont.

Buen estacionamiento para visitar Tigre caminando y cerca de estaciones de tren y paradas de colectivos hacia el centro de bsas. Pasamos varias noches sin problema. Seguro. (Fines de semana y festivos suele haber “cuidadores de autos” que no les gusta que estacionen autos grandes por mucho rato, dicen que les estropeamos su negocio)

This is a beautiful place to camp. It is a resort that offers camping and cabanas. The view is fantastic and there are two pool areas. The best is the giant tree overlooking the water that is the perfect place to relax during the day. The showers and toilets were good as well as the wifi. We also tried the restaurant on site and it was great value for money

Like all RV parks in Puerto Peñasco, this one is rather barren. No trees, pebbles on the ground, etc. The spots are crammed together.

The good thing was that there was a nice breeze to keep the temps tolerable.

Electric was spotty. Four 30amp ports on the same pedestal would report different wiring. The ones that reported correctly, would switch leads and neutrals during the wind.

They charge $27US per night for a standard spot. But then convert that to their exchange rate and charge you in pesos. Then your bank will convert it back - we ended up paying $35US per night.

The office staff was accommodating and nice. They cleaned the beach and grounds daily.

had a problem with my starter. He helped me on a Sunday with his father and solved the problem for really fair price.

Great overnight just 30 minutes from Scotts Bluff National Monument. Only 1 camper there when I arrived. Water & electric still working. No service with TMobile.

The camping ground is still under construction, but you can already get all your travelling / overlanding needs.
The view is AMAZING and the host, Andy, knows all the ins and outs of Quito. He really made our time there unforgettable. Plus, as he's been around much of South America, was able to share to valuable tips with us.
Highly recommend

Passamos duas noites aqui! Estrutura excelente, banho quentinho e piscininha amor!

Nous avons fait la randonnée de 3 jours pour visiter les cuevas de la sierra de San Francisco avec deux enfants (9 et 15 ans) et notre berger allemand.
Les paysages sont vraiment grandioses: cette randonnée restera un de nos plus beaux souvenirs de voyage.

Question logistique: L'organisation de cette randonnée se fait à l'hôtel Buena Aventura où vous payerez également le droit de visite des grottes (90 pesos/adulte quelque soit le nombre de grottes visitées+ 50 pesos pour avoir droit à faire des photos).
Nous avons dû prendre 3 ânes pour le matériel du campement et deux mules (une pour notre guide et une pour nos enfants). Au niveau du matériel à prévoir, notre guide a emmené des chaises, deux tables avec nappe, un réchaud et son matériel de camping. De notre côté, nous devions prévoir la nourriture pour les 3 jours, guide inclus ( 2 repas chauds pour le soir, 2 repas froids à manger en rando et 2 petits déjeuners), les vêtements chauds pour le soir et notre nécessaire de camping (tente et sac de couchage)). Le tarif pour cette randonnée est de 300 pesos/bête/ jour et 350 pesos pour le guide par jour, soit pour nous un total de 5550 pesos.

Le premier jour, la randonnée est d'une durée de 3h environs, au départ du ranch Guadalupe (accès 4x4), pour arriver au camp 1 au rythme des mules donc assez rapide (camp avec sanitaires et palapas mais pas d'eau), puis 1h30 supplémentaires pour arriver au camp 2 où nous avions décidé de camper.

Le camp 2 est un endroit de sable au bord de la lagune, vraiment magnifique. Il n'y a aucun aménagement. Un des avantages de ce camp est la proximité avec les 3 premières caves.
Les organisateurs nous avaient dit de ne prévoir qu'un litre d'eau potable par personne pour la randonnée du jour car ai camp 2 nous pourrions avoir accès à de l'eau potable. Il s'agit en fait de l'eau de la lagune, remplie de vase en cette saison.
Nous étions heureux d'avoir prévu notre gourde filtrante!

Le deuxième jour nous avons visité les 3 premières caves: la Soleda, la Pintada et la Flecha. C'était vraiment émouvant de voir ces peintures rupestres et imaginer la vie de ses auteurs il y a 10 800 ans. L'accès aux peintures est difficile avec des passages de semi-escalade. Nous avons même du faire faire du rappel à notre chien et encorder nos enfants par endroit. La visite de ces 3 caves nous a pris bien 4h (6h avec la pause de midi et baignade dans la lagune). Même si vous prévoyez une mule pour vous, prenez de bonnes chaussures de marche.

Nous avons choisi de profiter de la lagune plutôt que repartir dans l'après-midi pour les 3h de marche nécessaires à la visite des 2 autres caves.

Le dernier jour, nous sommes partis du campement à 8h pour arriver au ranch aux alentours de midi. A nouveau, le rythme de marche était celui des mules donc bien rapide pour nous avec un tel dénivelé.

Pour conclure, je dirai que cette randonnée est vraiment exceptionnelle mais difficile physiquement.

Great spot to stay while in Bahia de LA. Did not have to pay. Popular spot for camping but never too crowded. Pebbly beach. Incredibly clear water. One downside is the ‘toilets’ are out of commission, don’t even attempt. Because we didn’t bring our own, and there were lots of folks on the beach, we had to take a short hike into the hills to go to the bathroom. Do-able, but not ideal. The second night we camped on the eastern side and had a quite beach to ourselves. Water is still and beautiful. Bring your snorkeling gear! Did get attacked by some horse flies in case you want to bring fly tape.

Next to the last marker known as “beside cerritos inn” quiet spot before the sign that says no cars. We’ve spent two nights here without issue and came back for another couple of nights.
One small trailer parked next to us! Zofemat came by in the morning to check for trash and wrong-doings but didn’t bother us. You aren’t camping at the beach but some meters from it.
If you do come by please pick up after yourself, any toilet paper or human waste left here will spoil this spot for all of us like most of cerritos. Bring a shovel and a trash bag.
There’s enough spot for a couple of big rigs and you don’t need 4wd to get here.
Please take care of the beach and the spot.

They were here, but we also took the detour that comes in before the police stop, and leaves after 😏
__________

Eles estavam aqui, mas nós também pegamos o desvio que entra antes da parada policial, e sai depois 😏

We slept in the public parking lot on the beachfront, even opened our roof tent. It was a very quiet night, even though it was a Saturday.

Nós dormimos no estacionamento público em frente à praia, inclusive abrimos nossa barraca de teto. Foi uma noite muito silenciosa, mesmo sendo um sábado.

Price as changed to 70/80 BOL per person, depending on the room. Maybe it is possible to negotiate 100 BOL for 2 people.
The rooms are okay and some have shared bathrooms. The shower seems to be nice and hot, heated by gas. The lady would have allowed me to use the kitchen. I did not stay there, because it was fully booked, which shows that it is very popular in a town with hardly any visitors!

Spent a sunday night in a 30ft RV, left monday around 9am. Lot still almost empty.
As mentioned many police cars parked here, felt safe.
Some noise from a REALLY loud parking deck gate throughout the night.

We payed 35$ for 24h at a parking machine.

Free water and dump with gas. Exxon has key for water.

Nice campground. Still no water (winter) at this time.

Nice place with a table and some benches under a beautiful big Caldén (main native tree of La Pampa) Good place to sleep, but fairly busy road.
