Check-Ins

Diesel available today at 1480/l.
No combustible in the YPF.

Spent one night with our campervan. As mentioned, the parking lot is usually empty at night - we were the only vehicule on the whole ground, not very discrete but no one bothered us and we had a great night. Numerous cars came around quite early in the morning.
Toilets in the park mentioned in a previous comment were closed due to off season.

Stayed for 2 nights. You have to pay like every 12h. It‘s 15pP and 25 per car per 12h.
On the second day we asked for a discount and got the car for free for 24h.
It‘s a place directly at the lake and people are really nice here. The showers and toilets are… not really nice but manageble. Mind the little scorpiens thow :D.

Two things we did not like:

There is a lot of little plastik rubbish pieces between the stones on the ground… very sad.

Friday til Sunday it is very crowded… We were happy that we anyway wanted to leave on friday morning because it already got crowded at 7 in the morning! So maybe avoid the weekends.

So all in all it is quite expensive for what you get, but a very safe place to stay!

Enjoy :)

Hotel with restaurant and bar. Correct rooms 1200 ksh or 1000 ksh for simple room. No WiFi but space to park motorbike or cars. Bicycle allowed into the room.

Same as the previous comments: high pressure, no taps but big hose.

For $5US (20,000 pesos) you get a shady flat parking spot with strong WiFi. Clean bathrooms with seat and paper and a freezing cold shower. The swimming pool is included and they have a good restaurant too. Quiet at night we could think of no reason not to stop here.

Stayed one night and had no problems. Felt safe! As others said, there is a sign saying no RVs and semi trucks, but we understand they are avoiding big rigs and vans should be fine. A lot of trucks also stayed during the night. Overall it was quiet (only noises from the trucks engine).

As described except that vendors begin to arrive at 6am, very quietly but to be polite, it is best to plan an early departure. No bathrooms (which are very clean) between 5pm and morning, not sure of opening time as I left early. Plan to hike the rim trail, which begins at the rest area and has impressive views of the gorge. Very quiet at night, cannot hear road at all.

There is a sign for the restaurant that states 24hr Truck and RV parking. Currently parked here and there is a motorcoach parked on the street staying overnight. Easy access off of Hwy 5.

A little bit run down but a nice backpacker hostel with a small courtyard, free breakfast buffet and a small courtyard to park a couple of motorbikes.
Prices for one person:
$22 private room with shared bathroom
$25 private ensuite
$29 private ensuite with AC
$3 to park a motorbike inside
Dorms are around $15 but I'm not sure exactly.

Does not fill gas bottles, only exchanges bottles with Peruvian connection.

I planned to stay here but found the entry road so beat up, I turned back. Perhaps it was just the entry, but I was not willing to gamble. wouldn't try this in anything less than an off-road vehicle.

Wonderful flat spot with a view. No one came by. Awesome.

Fenced area around a radio tower where you could set up camp. Locals told us lions and elephants were roaming around in this area. So it might be a safe option. You could also lock the gate with your bicycle lock.

Very very clean place, lots of machines. No wifi

As mentioned, big sport area with parking close to center city. We arrived late and there was nobody at the entrance, but the guy came in the morning to collect the 50 pesos.
It is quite noisy but we felt safe.

Gran parking para camiones. Los baños y duchas están muy bien. Al ser un parking donde paran muchos camiones es un poco ruidoso durante toda la noche.

Sadly its no longer available. We will be looking for a near place for all the Overlanders to have a camping spot near Cartagena with Coloverland

Several places along this street to get SIM cards. It is worth shopping around. We went to this pinned place first and were quoted 1200 TL for 20 GB and told that was the only package for tourists. We walked down the street and got 25 GB for 1000 TL, good for a month. Still expensive but a little less than the first place.

The RV park in front of Silver Springs state park allowed us to get water from them for our camper van. They have bathrooms as well and hook ups a for RV. They are super sweet please ask at the front desk and pay for their resources if they let you stop by.

Great spot to spend a night or 2! The family was very warm and welcoming! The brother of the owner Caesar, even gave us a bag full of oranges! You camp close to the river Wi-Fi sort of reaches by the BBQ area!

Super clean beautiful spot! The family that owns it is constantly cleaning! One of the best night of sleep in a long time! Super dark, super quiet! We were there during the week, so according to previous posts I am not sure what it’s like on the weekends!

Have not been here yet. Pulling these coords fro, The Dyrt. Planning to check it out later this month.

We were here during the off-season / rainy season and found very few wild camping options in this area. The campground drains well, and there’s no standing water near the sites.

The showers are hot, there are laundry facilities, accessible bathrooms, dump station, potable water & electricity.

The RV pads are asphalt & mostly level with picnic tables and fire rings.

The campground is pet friendly. However, the trails are wildlife areas and pets are not allowed.

This was a great place to stop as we are traveling through.

A life saver, most dump stations are shut until Mid-May. This dumpstation is on the right side of the car park as you drive in. There is hatched paint marks on the floor. No water. 47.356723,-68.228340 for better coordinates.

the price was 400 for a room now. I could have my bicycle inside the reception area.

From the description below I was expecting something better. But for the price of 5,000 I can’t complain.

Note: bring own beding, towels, loo paper, and for me, my pillows. There is one sheet on the bed that covers the mattress. The pillows were dirty.

I also put up my own mosquito net.

For me it was a cheap one night stay. It’s a shame, with a little effort this could be a damn nice overlander stop.

The approach is up a dirt track from a dirt road.

Must have been a grand place in its heyday.

lugar muy tranquilo contagia potable y energía ,la gente súper amable lindo lugar para pasar unos días

This is now an official checkpoint both north and south bound today, with uniformed individuals. We had our paperwork ready and they waived us through.

Es una parcela al costado de la calle que se entra por un sendero y tiene un gran terreno con vistas a la montaña. Hay algunas sombras donde se puede acampar.
