Nice hotel. Single room with wash basin, 120dh. Lockup for the moto 30dh. Helpful host. Close to the centre. It has a charm to it. Nothing to dislike at all.

Quiet in November and there is plenty of space for every type of rig. Probably busy on the weekends and during the holiday season. Many electrical outlets and many water taps in La Moza area. Beautiful area to walk, along the beach or to the fort, or through the trees. The bathrooms are ancient and not easily accessed. 400 pesos for 2 people and camper.

Usual Walmart with large lot. I called ahead and also checked inside to make sure that overnighters are welcome.

Still happy to let us fill. Tap is hidden in a box near the car wash. The guys in the station said there wasn’t any water but the people by the car wash went and turned it on for us.

Nice wild camping in the bush, just behind the beach. It’s at the end of the road, big enough for a big rig. Quite leveled, silent and calm. No shade from the sun.

These guys can fix anything. From total engine rebuild to transmission to breaks. They are a total service shop. Mid size shop, super friendly manager (Claudinei). Speaks a few words of English. We had them change the ball joints on our 2007 chevy and the parts they couldn’t get here they had fixed.. would recommend! And he has good contacts to get parts!!

Stayed at the picnic parking ('Victimula' on Google Maps, just follow the dirt road). It is more private and hidden from the road, only the tourist info building is visible. The toilets at the marked coordinates were closed at this time of year, but there are water points in both parking locations. A few cars and a jogger briefly visited the parking lot but didn't say anything.
Once there, it's much easier to understand the area with maps.me. Take a walk around the park, it's quite unusual. The signs are in Italian, but their website has info in English.

There are wild pigs, I saw a glimpse of one when they were running away in the woods, and the distubed soil everywhere suggests they also come to the picnic area at least during the quiet months. Whilst they're probably not coming when people are visiting, I still wouldn't leave food out. Make sure to use the recycling bins too, it was so nice and clean there!

Près de la route mais la circulation diminue fortement la nuit. Endroit calme, aucun autre voyageur durant notre nuit.

Wrong locating. If you follow these coordinates you will end up on outskirts of the town in a place that’s not good for camping.

spent the night at the right side of the Chanel. quite good, but don't expect any facilities.. toilets was.. Hmmm.. but beach and ocean pretty clean. a few locals but just said hello. jandarma came at 8 pm to check, but said I was welcome to stay and just wanted to make sure I was ok. just go out and greet them with a merhaba and iyi akshamlar.
motorcycle and tent. it's a good spot all the way to the west.

A pull off the Moonstone Beach road in front of an open lot with white fence under the cypress trees opposite the beach/boat ramp parking lot. It has space for 2 or 3 campervans. Close to hwy 1 and heard some traffic overnight. Nobody bothered us. No signs prohibiting overnight stay. No cell reception. A very weak signal across the street on the ocean side.

Stayed here on a Thursday night in my class C in a pinch. 8p-7a. Only a few cars that were gone by the time I woke up. Street sweeper came in as I was leaving. Dark lot. Hid in the back and tried to be as stealth and respectful as possible. Saw the sign that said “No RV parking at anytime” on my way out. Highway noise but no knocks or ticket.

process fee is now 10.000 CFA...
and you can do super express visa which costs 70.000 CFA + 10.000 CFA process fee and you get it the same day but this one is not official (you'll get a receipt for 70.000 CFA) 😏

Trying to be good, but is just okay. Standard room without breakfast is now NAR23K, with breakfast (which is just an omelette) is NAR25k.

Staff aren't very friendly, they seem a bit lazy, room is big, noisy hole in wall Aircon, not especially clean, decent shower though. Not sure it's worth the money, but after a long ride, the beds are very comfortable and a relief.

Restaurant on site is on the pricey side, but you'd expect that given what they think they are.

For a night, it's okay

As all above. All impressive, but no leaflets or boards at the sites to explain anything, so you might miss out things, and still no idea what it is or could mean. Pity...as a lot of to see.

Road was in fair condition today, but I would only attempt with high clearance as there were some bigger muddy dips. Did not need 4wd. However, when coming from the South, there is no reason to do this road, just keep heading North and you will hit the main paved road. Google maps is not accurate with these two parallel "main" roads around this area as 34J and 34E are the same road for a stretch. Organic maps looks more accurate.

Southbound Vehicle Inspection.
Brand new inspection station for all vehicle going southbound. They asked for title and registration (both our RV and moto), checked the license plates and quick peak inside. Friendly and quick.

Quiet and comfortable. There are three pullouts, the first one was not very level but the second two are great. Dirt road for the first mile then paved the rest of the way. No signs and no one bothered us. Great spot near Tahoe!

old railway station with a little playground, benches and tables, two fire places, a water source (not for drinking) and some shelter from the weather next to the via verde. Wasn't busy in November, that could be different in summer. Also parking space for vehikels, dont know if it is accesible for bigger rigs.
