Check-Ins

Still a good restaurant, fair price and very nice owners. Only the purple lighting was a bit annoying as it’s the only source of light…

Good spot to see the train, a bit away from the road. Saw the train at 3 pm coming from the desert.

Wir sind zwei Personen auf einem Motorrad mit einem Zelt. Wir hatten eine wundervolle Nacht hier. Der Campingplatz ist sehr ruhig gelegen, wir haben nur die Natur gehört.

Es gibt dort einen großen Pool, mit einer schönen Terrasse zum Entspannen.

Die Besitzer waren super freundlich.
Ronald war total hilfsbereit, und hat uns morgens neben einer gebackenen Banane zum Frühstück auch noch gute Tipps für unsere Weiterfahrt gegeben. Wir würden aufjedenfall wiederkommen.

Wir sind spontan hier gegen 8 p.m. angekommen und wurden trotzdem herzlich empfangen.

Wir sind 2 Menschen auf einem Motorrad mit Zelt. Nach unserer langen Anfahrt war mir super kalt. Die Besitzer haben uns noch Kaffee und Tee gekocht. Außerdem gab es noch einen Snack.

Uns wurde direkt ein Tisch mit einer Bank hingestellt.

Außerdem gibt es eine saubere Toilette, eine kalte und eine warme Dusche.

Wir empfehlen den Platz weiter.

We ended up making a try of this place, complete with purchase of “limited use” permit online from Texas License Connection. Permit was $12 plus $5 processing fee. It’s good for a year but be warned they’ll require your social security number and birthdate, along with the more common home address and driver’s license. Pretty intrusive and potentially vulnerable for abuse.

We regret trying to use this. It’s a fair distance further away from the Big Bend park on a road that’s a bit slow going (particularly after dark with frewuent deer sightings and sudden crossings) and you have to go all the way to the headquarters registration building, half way through the WMA zone in order to pick a site. We did so late at night after a long day in the park, choosing site #2 that was way back the way we came in order to reduce driving back to the park the next morning. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize that all the access roads into the WMA sites are blocked from the highway by locked gates with a combination code we didn’t have. We would apparently have to backtrack all the way back to the HQ in order to take dirt roads contained within the WMA or find this combination code in the unmanned registration building. We instead decided to make use of the Stillwell paid campground we had passed earlier on the way to the Black Gap WMA – they allowed late, after hours check in.

In conclusion, I would not recommend bothering with this WMA area unless you’re planning to stay and explore (and probably hunt or fish) in the WMA. It’s not worth the trek and hassle for visiting Big Bend NP. (Luckily we were able to get permits for a couple of following nights in the park at designated backcountry roadside sites. These are sites that *can’t* be all booked up in advance via recreation.gov.)

Oh, also worth noting the need (and legal requirement according to the permit) to wear orange during hunting seasons in the WMA.

tough to find camping on this side of Zion, especially in a 30ft bus, but managed a really great spot on top of the hill. pretty crowded but people are respectful and friendly

The new Nambwa Camp has been styled very well and the sites overlook large plains. They built the ablutions with recycled materials and everything is pretty new (1 year). But it is a pity, that some things no longer work (for example at camp 2 the shower rod has been built upside down, in camp 4 th nice light installation has been broken). The problem is maintenance! The campsites are not cheap, but the location in the park and the short drive to horseshoe make it worth. We would wish, that the owner africanmonarch would tensure that more is done for the maintenance. But nevertheless a highly recommendable place.

A little busy during the day due to the fisherman but very peaceful and quiet at night.

parked with another 18 wheeler here, seemingly lively for 20:30 but maybe it'll die down soon. quiet spot overall, far enough from the road that you don't really hear cars going by, and only a couple lights in the lot so overall better than most lots I've slept at.

The guy emptying the trash saw me parking at the far end for privacy. After dropping of the trash, he sat parked in his car at the Authorized Vehicles entrance. He didn't move , just watched me, or possibly everyone. It really spoiled the vibe of staying here. He might have control issues.I did not stay.

This place is permanently closed.

Typical Walmart parking lot, but with a nice view of the surrounding hills. I appreciate Walmart's willingness to offer their parking lots to travelers.

Quite a busy place. Especially during sunset a lot of people pass by. The only place that's not too windy is in sight of the main path to the cliffs. The scenery is to die for though. in the bushes next to the campsite, lots of people have left toilet paper litter. wouldn't recommend for a tent.

Insanely overpriced and the owner tries to rip you off

Good place for a night. Very secure. 120 pesos for 24 hours - you pay when you leave. Good wifi - I got the password from the Pemex guys. 6 or 7 other travellers here.

Noisy.

We met Gaskin on the beach while wild camping and he asked to add his contacts and what he is offering to this group, it may be useful for some travellers that are looking for a traditional and cultural experience in Togo. Gaskin is offering a room at his house to stay, plus a breakfast, lunch and dinner, with some sightseeing of the city and its attractions (as he is a professional guide and works at Slave House and a president of Global Culturama Association for tourism in Togo).
At his house he has a parking for a motorbike/bicycle but for bigger rigs he is offering a safe parking at a Slave House Museum. All this for the price of 20,000+ Cefa, to be negotiated and arranged the details with him.
Again: we didn't try his services but it may help someone else, as the his price is quite competitive taking in consideration that the hotels and restaurants are expensive in here. Give him a call and decide for yourself.

Nice quiet $30/day. Staff friendly and helpful.

This place is permanently closed.

Quiet place and not far from the road. we were alone but there is room for several RVs.

very good ! 3 parking long
wifi thats all right

Lugar residencial, pasan algunos autos en la noche. Muy tranquilo, pasamos una noche.
Hermosa vista
No cuenta con servicios y la señal del 4g -5g es baja , por lo menos para entel

very nice space to spend one night.
You can use the showers of sport club however they have no doors, are a little rustic and are mixed.

Went there in April. Still available but camping with no shower. 1500 pp and 1500 per tent.

At last stayed in one of the rooms. 16000 per room, could fit 4 persons. Really quite and clean but no wifi.

Beautiful sand beach!
Many areas are rocky, this isn’t. Parking area is fine for any car, sign says don’t drive on beach but many do. There is a little traffic into the evening of vehicles driving to and from the beach but didn’t bother me.

Great spot decently easy to get to. Recommend getting here early it fills up fast. 2 bars LTE

We ask security and they said it was fine just stay at back of lot. Next day weather was terrible so stayed one more night. Two other the first night and one also stayed the second night. Casino open 24/7.

Très calme. A l’abris du vent… mais aussi du soleil :-(
A plat et beaucoup de place.
Nous avons passé une nuit parfait. Pas un seul bruit.

Southbound rest area. Great place for an overnight and taking a short walk. Trucks and cars have separate areas. I stayed in car area in a camper van. Very quiet. Surrounded by lovely pines.

Yes a little pricier than Mexico prices but WELL WORTH IT!!! The facilities are comfortable, clean and well organized! Dogs can run free in this fenced in property. We were lucky enough to have arrived in time for pizza night. Guests bring toppings, host has dough and beautiful pizza oven. Nice showers with great water pressure and hot water! Loved it!!!

Nice place for a quiet night. Rolled in about 4:30 parked and took a walk. By 8:00 we were the only ones here until another came. You can hear the rapids and the bullfrogs all night to relax to. If the lot is empty a bigger rig would fit and plenty of room.
