Check-Ins

We were camp hosts from labor day till season close Oct 31st 2023. The campground will reopen may 1st 2024! Quiet hours are enforced, no dogs allowed to be left unattended.

Nice parking space behind the gib one next to the road (many caravans there) but more in the back you are alone

We spend two nights in Francesco’s front yard with toilet and shower (room for just one car not bigger than 7 meters). Francesco is very knowledgeable and curious (speaks only Spanish). He showed us Pozo Azul and Cueva de Molino on one day. Very nice and not to be missed! For de cave you need a guide to show you around. Pozo Azul is sparsely signed out and doable by yourself.
We paid him 20.000 cop per night as we think this is a normal price for a spot with bathroom facilities.
Francesco’s phone number: +573242859438

The road from Velez is partly paved, but mostly not. The last part where you leave the main road is narrow and sometimes steep. From Velez to Francesco the trip is doable with a 2wd Sprinter in 90 minutes.

Not a nice place, however, good for a night stopover.
We wanted to camp at the Jigsaw Rec Area, but it was full. So found this spot.
It’s a wide and flat gravel area, easy accessible also with big RVs or 5-wheelers. Trees give privacy from the Hwy, even if we can ear vehicles. Quite by night.
It looks like an abandoned trailer camp or settlement with some relics with their stuff all around. However, all the stuff is on one side only and the overall site is clean and without garbage.
No facilities and Verizon 0/5

Me siento super afortunado de haber sido el primer moto viajero en lo de David, gracias a Juan Patricio, motoviajero Argentino, extraordinaria persona, que nos llevo a compartir con David. Totalmente recomendable su moto posada, gracias amigo por recibirnos, experiencia increible y parada inolvidable en mi viaje desde Chile a Canada en moto, tremendo abrazo David, éxito total.

I feel super lucky to have been the first motorcycle traveler at David's place, thanks to Juan Patricio, Argentine motorcycle traveler, extraordinary person, who took us to share with David. Totally recommend your moto posada, thank you friend for having us, incredible experience and unforgettable stop on my trip from Chile to Canada by motorcycle, tremendous hug David, total success.

The place has been refurbished. Everything is clean and working, good restaurant, little shop.
There are many spots with great view over the lake. Unfortunately open fire is not allowed any more, only with a fire bowl.

Nice big camping high ground. Great view no dogs. Easy for every vehicles

Some neighbors, plenty of space to spread out, good service

Quiet. Convenient. Compact.
Note—. There are multiple pull outs along this dirt road. i took the first one as it was late and i simply followed this apps comments. I tucked in after dark to the question marked face of the German camper can next to me. when i woke up i saw another camper down the road.
Hey 20 is SPARSE for boondocking.

Beautiful family business with hand carved masks, statues and more. The owner provided us with explanation about all his products and his son demonstrated how he carved a wooden cane.

Double ended gravel lot with side circle behind some bushes. Probably once was a station or business but no buildings remain. Just a concrete island with a metal pole.

Jaco and his father offered again impeccable (and fast) service, fixing many small Defender issues in just a couple of hours. They know Landies by heart.

Just WhatsApp Jaco beforehand to make sure they are open: 083 561 6026. They also work in prime private reserves (taking care of Defender game viewers) so they are not always in Bloemfontein.

Thanks guys again and keep it up!

Arrêt pour dîner et sieste. Très joli, achalandé et bruyant.

it says no overnight parking unless with a permit

It is quite with trees all around the back edge. there are maybe about 6 other cars here. I backed into a treed corner that feels pretty private.

Classic Walmart. Well lit. Slept well enough. In at 11:30pm. Leaving at 7am.

Passamos uma noite tranquila.
Banheiro com chuveiro quente e limpo, grátis.

Bel endroit pour passer la nuit, petit stationnement près de la Marina et d’une piste cyclable.

This is just a roadside pull off. To find a flat spot you have to get really close to the trees. The road is gravel and has a bridge out ahead so there’s not a lot of through traffic. Although a semi did come by at one in the morning, and honk his horn for me.!

Quiet BLM land off country road 1. Small tracks in dirt near the fencing takes you back to a private camping area. 4x4 hight clearance vehicles needed to get back into the spot.

Loud if your in canvas, basic toilets etc. Not a bad night in our tintop. Mostly lorries and cars, a few other campers.

Great wildcamp next to the road. Quiet at night very little traffic. Can be wind till sunset. Great view of the mountains in the day but mountains are overcast in the morning. Road was fine to drive from Cajamarca to here in DRY season. We drove it in a small Hiace 2 WD Van. Average 25 km/h.

It’s close to the highway so you aren’t out of sight of traffic but the ambience under the trees next to the creek is lovely. Two paved parking spots and one gravel spot with picnic tables and fire rings and no other services. No Verizon but a clear sky for Starlink. We stayed one night and wished we had more time here.

On our way after a two night stay at this lovely spot. Felt like we were visiting family. Hot shower. Good bush facilities. 5/5

Still here, firemen very friendly and professional. We had a great time, there's a kitchen and showers. Ángel showed us around and gave us a whole stack of rice and hot chocolate. Very busy place and generally not that quiet, but great for one night. we slept in our tent in the garage but they also have men's and women's dorms. Fast WiFi

There were tons of RVs and people staying overnight. Unfortunately, there were even those who were making themselves a little too at home. Please, guys don’t ruin things for the rest of us. Don’t takes your chairs out or leave your trailer so you can do whatever.

The staff was friendly, the bathrooms clean, and they offered lots of items for the traveler like single serving yogurt & A huge selection of granola bars. We stocked up before heading on our way.

This place is in wrong location - it is located at 37.91810, -99.41469

wonderful campspot right at the river.
road down rough but not extreme

Nice Walmart. Spent 2 nights here while exploring the area. If you have the Michigan state park pass, you can go to Brimley State park, about 10 minutes away, from for a free nice hot shower.

Beautiful place. I would definitely come back here again. We tented. Very slight road noise. Not enough to bother us. I don’t suggest tenting in Summer like we did. Very hot til around 2am and cicadas go crazy in the evening.
Easy enough to pay online in different ways. The parking seems a little peculiar and only in certain pull-outs along the road; not near each site.
