Check-Ins

We stayed here for 5 nights, travelling back & forth to Bogota a few times. If you message Ana ahead of time she will get back to you quickly, she was so warm and welcoming, although we never met in person. We were able to go in and out of the locked gate whenever we needed. The bathroom and shower was clean, the common kitchen area was handy. We have not met up with many overlanders on our travels but we met a few at this place. They do not have a set price but ask for a donation, we gave 50K/night for 2 people and a camper.

as described. lot was plowed by 6PM the night after a foot of snow. plows came in around 9 and 11 again. one other car in the lot in the morning and overall a peaceful night

Same price, lots of bugs, some snails(it was raining night before), fake nail on the floor. .I felt itchy most of the night. I guess you get what you pay for.

Very nice place to stay. With bathrooms and showers, and a fantastic view to the beach. Eduardo is super friendly and helps with anything.

Pasamos a preguntar si nos dejaban estacionar y no solo aceptaron sino que nos atendieron con muy buena onda, nos brindaron una ducha y el WiFi para trabajar (el año pasado también habíamos pasado y la recepción fue igual de buena que esta)
Recomendadísimo 💯

Estacionamos en la.plaza frente al destacamento policial. Consultamos antes y nos dijeron que no había ningún problema. Éramos tres campers. La noche super tranquila. Hay wifi en la oficina de turismo en una de las esquinas de la plaza. Los sábados se monta la feria (muy recomendable) por lo que dirante el día hay que estacionar en otro lado.

We stayed here a couple of nights because I got sick and just wanted to have my own room with no one around. We paid 15 million Rial for the double room, including good breakfast. The staff was super nice and really helpful. They help you order food if necessary. No wifi unfortunately. The hotel is old but clean. They have a big parking lot. We could even put our 2 motorcycles into the garage.

Hotel and really nice swimming pool on hillside overlooking sweltering Giron.
Double room ....140,000COP
Day use of Pool.... 20,000COP per person.
Bar etc.

La Bolivianita campsite is a beautiful place next to the river and surrounded by peaks, which makes you feel the nature over your head.
José Luis is an ideal host and an adventurer by nature. We walked with him and received the best treatment and recommendations, as well as an exclusive walk to the Andes at sunrise. I recommend the place and José Luis to all travellers who pass by!

El camping La Bolivianita es un lugar precioso junto al río y rodeado de cumbres, que hace a uno sentir la naturaleza sobre la cabeza.
José Luis es un anfitrión ideal y un aventurero por naturaleza. Con él paseamos y recibimos los mejores tratos y recomendaciones, además de un paseo exclusivo al codo de Los Andes al amanecer. Recomiendo el lugar y conocer a José Luis a todos los viajeros que pasen por allí!

Great place as others said super clean and great showers. Owners of the various casitas are very nice and welcoming. I think the rv park subsidizes their HOA.

Great spot for the night. Nice size lake and park for the dog to run around in. Designated overnight parking. Plenty of restaurants in the area. Very little cell signal.

All along the highway (on the side that's not the river) there are pullouts that are big rig friendly. I didn't stay (saw them on my way home, unfortunately!) but I had cell service driving by and there were very few other cars on the road so I have to imagine they'd be pretty quiet. The GPS coordinates I'm linking are for one pullout but there are several. Drive slow down this road and pick your favorite one!

Great place, fortunately not vandalised like the ones closer to Porvenir. Only the table and the stove are missing, and the stinky toilet is out of service. Keep the door closed to avoid odours. Windows can be opened to ventilate a bit. We slept with 4 people that night, two people upstairs and two downstairs.

Lovely family living in a farm “Rancho El Centenario”, 39km East of Guerrero Negro who want to host more cyclists. They have a big garden to pitch up tents. They don’t speak english, but they do their best and are very welcoming.

No internet, access to toilets and a sink, there is a shower we haven’t used, access to a plug to charge things, can be windy at night.

Found the Refugio in good condition. The pit toilet was clean and in a usable state. I used the small bench to make the access to the top platform easier. Calm and refreshing night before a long day to Rio Grande.

Parked near playground and baseball diamond. Worked ok. Lot gets super busy on weekends. The dirt spots mentioned didn’t seem possible now.

We stopped to see the beach. Has showers and toilets. Saw one van with leveling blocks, looks like no problem to stay overnight

We really liked our visit here. We spent the day at the platform and saw 14 wild gorillas. We saw them early in the morning (6:30 am) and some silverbacks came back in the afternoon. We didn’t spent the night at the camp, but it looks very nice so if you have the time and are able to make the booking I would recommend.

For visiting the Baï (daytrip) it’s 30.000 CFA pp. Make sure you book 3-4 days in advance.
They can also arrange boat trips, but arrangements cost a little more time so make sure to email them +-2 weeks before you arrive.

Also, the deck is very small so they don’t host multiple groups at the same time. So do your booking in advance to make sure they have space.

FR : On a dormi là une nuit parce qu'on a pas trouvé mieux et qu'on est arrivés super tard à El Calafate, on était en méga stress toute la nuit que la police vienne parce que le lieu est interdit aux campeurs désormais. On a dû lever le camp super tôt pour éviter la police. Ils sont passés après qu'on ait fini de lever le camp. Bref, mauvais plan !

EN : We slept there one night because we couldn't find anything better, and when we arrived super late in El Calafate, we were stressed all night, fearing that the police might come because the area is now off-limits to campers. We had to break camp super early to avoid the police. They came by after we'd finished setting up camp, we were lucky. In short, a bad plan!

nobody tried to get money. before arriving at this point we asked truck drivers and they confirmed, that the bridge is free of charge

Signage along semi freight lane says No Overnight. But Customer Service people said RV's are ok at back of lot.

Un paraíso escondido de verdad!!! 20p entrada 50p acampar. Tienen baños , regaderas, zonas de fuego. Sin señal, te venden fichas de Wifi. La caminata al mirador es muyyy hermosa! Entre la selva y llegas a una vista increíble

Worth staying here and getting to Sossusvlei ahead of the crowds. Nice pool and areas to cool down during the day. Campsites had decent shade but the sand can get quite bad in afternoon winds, thyre fairly exposed. Ablutions were clean and in good order. We were here over a long weekend and a few people had fuel issues as the local garage was out of diesel. Ice was also difficult to get as the town couldn't keep up with the demand.

Nice and quiet place, with good facilities. When we where there, there was also a cook, who made breakfast, lunch and dinner (if needed).

Stationnement de départ d'une très jolie randonnée. Très calme, spot très agréable

You can check whether the road is open at the tourist info in Villa Peheunia. In the dry the road is easy, if it rains you need to take it slow and steady. We did it easily after a night of rain in our back wheel drive Ford E150 van staying at around 50km per hour but she needed a good wash by the time we got to Zapala. The road is tarmac from Primeros Pinos.
