Check-Ins

We just searched for a place away from the main roads, which isn't easy in this area. This place is easy to access and ok, so far. Nevertheless a lot people driving along that way as well and might stop, because of curiosity. All of them have been very friendly, but being alone is different.
Mobile Korek worked halfway good.

still here. very well hidden. go at 60 !!! ;-)

75 pppn. The cheapest option for camping in Kasane ;-) Local place run by local people. Tabo, the local girl who is working here, is very friendly and welcoming. If it is to stay overnight and go early or all the day, perfect because hot showers thanks a geyser and quiet night (no road nearly). electricity, fridge, kitchen. but no wifi, no pool. so if you want to relax and chill, go to Kwalape (wifi and pool for 110pppn).
150 pppn for double rooms or dorms.

Entering Peru- Such a small border, making everyone super friendly and everything easy-peasy. We actually arrived at 11:45 am worried about them being closed for lunch but all members of staff postponed their break until we were done. No copies needed nor health checks (proof of vaccinations etc). 1 hour in total.
They don’t sell SOAT insurance at the border and we hear it’s a struggle in towns such as San Ignacio and Jaén. We simply did it via WhatsApp on this number: +51 947 350 208
He was super quick and responsive, it cost 55 soles for 6 months, you then pay it at the bank- he tells you how. :-)

dump station available
39 $ unserviced with free showers
outdoor pool open as of June.
Good for kids!

Laundry very Nice people, easy thet also delivered it to our campsite :)

Super limpia la ducha. Solamente hay en el baño de hombres. Agua fría, pero agradable con este calor.

Don't let the price fool you, these are some good tamales. They have chicken or pork. I recommend the chicken. When I unwrap a tamale from this lovely old couple, I feel all of Mexico slap me in the face, and punch me in the belly. But without the stomach ache. Tell them Robertito sent you.

Peaceful one-night stay. Lots of camping options, from primitive ($8) to full hookups ($18). Most of the full hookups require online reservations, but it’s easy to hop on the website. Nice playground by full hookup area. It looks like the shower house is closed right now. We used the pit toilets, which were clean. Some swarming bugs at twilight (mosquitoes?), but they didn’t bite us. The shelters at the sites are really well done and help shield from the wind. We would stay again.

Stayed one night here and there are two river spots (4×4 or AWD needed) and plenty of roadside pulloffs. Beautiful and quiet!

Praia municipal de Iturama
com estrutura de quiosque, com água, pia e churrasqueira...com um Rio próximo, limpo, bom pra tomar banho e pescar.
o carro para próximo aos quiosques.
tem banheiro público ( um pouco largado mas usavel), e duchas frias.
tem uma lanchonete aberta durante o dia.
pode acampar nos quiosques e é gratuito.
muito tranquilo de passar a noite, durante a semana é bem tranquilo, com muitos pássaros, durante o fim de semana é mais cheio mas nada de mais.
lugar bem bonito...
localizado a 18km de Iturama, passa por uma estrada de terra pra chegar no local.

beautiful spot to stay the night; campers/rv forbidden during the day, but not for the night; toilets open from 8am to 10pm; many benches near the water (but lots of mosquitos on warm days)

Good price petrol station, they have diesel & take visa. (1,42€/l May, 2023)
It’s near a village with a good little coop.

I was so glad to find this place on iOverlander. We were sick and worn out and looking for a comfy place to stay after crossing the border. We couldn’t have found a better spot.

The property is beautiful (nice shared rancho, pool, walking trails, gardens), the rooms are spacious, comfy, modern and very well appointed (induction stove, cookware, fridge, powerful AC, super nice hot shower in chic bathroom), the included breakfast is fantastic and Flory is happy to cook whatever you’re craving. The adjacent porch and hammock is great for morning coffee and afternoon birdwatching. Owner Flory and host Angie were both incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Angie offered to do our laundry on arrival for which we made sure to give her a nice tip.

It’s $90 per night for 2 people ($40 more per additional person), $50 for 1, which makes this super affordable for a solo traveler. We also had the option to pay $80 if we didn’t want breakfast but the breakfast was well worth the extra $10 and they let us choose when we wanted it delivered to our room (between 6-9 I believe).

The best way to check availability and make a reservation on short notice is to text Melí on WhatsApp 506 8823 4734.

Flory mentioned that they’ve had several cyclists (some who camp in the rancho) and overlanders come to the hotel and are planning to build some bathrooms and prepare a portion of the property for camping. Wouldn’t hurt to ask if they’re open for camping.

Wonderful spot in a beautiful part of the country!

Municipal food court and market place selling good, cheap, fresh meals. Popular and busy but only open up until lunch time./early afternoon.
Just opposite Western Union.

Amazing spot right next to the ocean, stayed in the community a few weeks, great Farmers Market on Mondays at 3pm. I did however see campers being a little too EXTRA. How about not using your pop tops in town.

Absolutely loved it here! We befriended a winemaker/traveller who knew someone working here and we got a tour and tasting of the factory (I'm not sure if you can do this as an actual tour, didn't ask).

Anyway, the little restaurant is great and everyone is soooo friendly. The view is just stunning, especially with sunset and sunrise. So definitely ask if you can spend the night here!

Several RV spots. Quiet night and good food available.

Our favorite campsite out of all of the places we stayed during our 2 week road trip. $42 for a tent site that we reserved 2 months in advance, worth the price. Very beautiful, our campsite (25) was right next to the tree line for great views but also good privacy. Bathrooms and showers were clean and private. Right next to some pretty hiking trails as well. Highly recommend

Big paved rest stop. No amenities just a place to spend the night. Big rig accessible.

Best place in Yaoundé! Didier and his wife are the nicest people on earth. We didn’t have to do much work on our car but they were happy to host us anyways. If there’s anything you need, Didier will find a way to make it work - also non car related stuff. We really felt at home here :)

If you look around, you’ll find great secluded spots! We met a USFS employee marking trees while we were camped here. He was very nice. Good Verizon/Visible service.

The hospedaje was full when we arrived (workers from the lithium mines are staying there) but we were allowed to pitch our tent is the courtyard. we paid $1000 for 2 people, hot shower and wifi. It was probably possible to bargain a little but we didn't try.

The manager Felix is a great guy: very helpful. There isn't much to do at the backpackers apart from drink beer, take a swim and read a book. There is a limited menu. I camped with a ground tent, for which there is a small amount of space. The cost was US$8.

Warning! In May the entry was flooded. When I drove out my car was stuck and nearly lost in the water. Take care!

camp without structure. end of street. no movement. a good place to stop with tall trees. it has good shade all day long. there are houses around. It is close to the complete Oscar Niemeyer. I advise vans and large motorhomes. I slept here in a roof tent with my car.

acampamento sem estrutura. final de rua. nada de movimento. um bom lugar para parar com árvores altas. tem uma boa sombra o dia inteiro. existem casas ao redor. É próximo do completo Oscar Niemeyer. aconselho vans e motorhome grande. Dormi aqui de barraca de teto com meu carro.

Still here. We got a lot of fruit and veggies. It was nice to stock up on fresh produce after the days in the mountains. Make sure to get some of bread too, it’s the best we’ve had in a long time!

Spigot was working today, May 23. Quite a bit of water pressure!

Had a glorious stay here right on the beach! It was amazing and so beautiful to sleep to the sound of the waves and get out and play in the ocean during the day. Really so gorgeous! I stayed here for a total of seven nights and at times was the only person on the beach in the area I was parked at. So very private and quiet and just so lovely. I really didn't want to leave! Further down the beach my internet service was a bit spotty and non-existent at times. When I was very close to the road 6 access, internet was great on T-Mobile hotspot. Amazing to be on the beach and have internet access. Did I mention that I really didn't want to leave there? What more could a person want! I purchased the pass, but not once did anybody stop by to see if I actually had it. This is not to say that you shouldn't purchase a pass, it's more to say that it was just so nice to not be questioned. Also, there are showers in The Visitor Center area that are coin operated and cold, but they were very refreshing nonetheless. It was nice to have the option available. Highly recommended!

Edited to add that I did see big rigs camping on the beach, they just needed to stay where it was more compact. I was a little concerned about loose sand as I certainly didn't want to get stuck anywhere, but I really didn't have any problem and other people didn't seem to be either. Of course you will need to stay on the harder sand and be careful. But there were others doing it if that is any help at all to you.

pasamos 2 días acá..mirador amplio al borde la ruta, fuimos al lugar exacto que está marcado por la calle de abajo pero no creemos que fuera el lugar correcto entonces encontramos el mirador.
hermosa vista, se puede descansar a pesar de estar en la ruta.

They spent 2 days here... a large viewpoint on the edge of the road, we went to the exact place that is marked by the street below but we don't think it was the right place, so we found the viewpoint. beautiful view, you can rest despite being on the road.

I have stayed here a couple of times and have not had a bad experience. The area was cleaned up of most trash, the pit toilet was as clean as it can get and stocked with TP. I car camped in a FWD Hyundai hatchback. Visible phone service 3 bars.
