Check-Ins

We drove alone the firts 250 km, then they escorted until a bit earlier than Samarra. We told them if they could drive 90km/h and they were going at a good speed. Nice people, just be pacient for the passport checking and changes of escorts.

toll cabins close to Anchorena's town entrance. they give as a service inside building, hot water (for mate), cold potable water and toilets (very clean with paper and soap). Water from the faucet is no drinking water (very salty) they allow us to pitch the tent behind the main building and even they have some barbecue, bench and table to use it. covered parking for regular vehicle and space for big rigs. we ask for cellphone signal and they give us WiFi password. also an outlet to charge devices. Nice people!

ABOUT US
Achab Camping is located at the foot of the Gamgamichab mountains, only 9.5km south of Usakos. It is situated 50km from Spitzkoppe, Namibia. Achab has been set aside as a private initiative for the conservation of various fauna and flora, including the Hartman zebra, endemic bird species like the Herero Chat, as well as Quiver and Moringa trees.

Great spot close to town! Had to problem in our 2WD Promaster.

Very cute little campsite at the back of the hostel. It’s an olive tree garden surrounded by vines, birds and mountains in the background. Toilets and showers are super clean and quite new and well maintained. Did not see or use the hostel facilities. No wifi at the campsite but good 4g Claro signal. There are chickens, turkeys and some sweet dogs walking around. We managed with our 2.70m height to find a nice spot on the campground. If you’re bigger there is a separate entrance without height restrictions but the place to put your van is limited. Def not suitable for big rigs. We paid 4000ARS PP.

Friendly guy Sulayman Jallow who owns the place let me park my car here while i visited the faire in Wassu. Looks like a nice place to stay overnight. He can also take you to the Gambia river np with a boat.

Enter from lookout, right at the river but under trees and not visible from the road. 2wd access. Ok cell service, fire ring, no amenities. Take your trash with you!

It’s really one of the nicest places we stayed The two guys were managing. The place are also sympathic. You can go with a car until the beach where you have a connection with 220 v ! Highly recommended ! 40 reais for motorhome!

Open on Fridays and convoy also going on Fridays.

New info that might be of interest and could be taken into account if anyone might consider extending their carnet in Indonesia - the ADAC charges per quarter, so 

1-3 Months 65,-- Euro

4-6 M 125,-- Euro

7-9 M 185,-- Euro

10-12 M 250,-- Euro

I heard about an administration fee that the IMI in Jakarta would charge, but I was pretty surprised when they asked for 2,5 million, so 145€. 

It’s an amount that might be worth considering whether to extend or just get a new carnet, as the next country might not even recognise the extension…

here we finally could fill our tank with diesel. International price.

As described. No issues. You pay by the gallon, not the tank which is good when you just want to top off.

The lake on one side and snow capped mountains on the other. Birds are singing and scent of orange blossoms heavy in the air this morning. This COE campground is nice but noisy. Reservations at recreation.gov for $30 a night or less with interagency annual pass.

The site is safety the night because there is the police army control all vehicles.
It a little bit noisy the morning but if you don’t stay close to the road it good.

This is my stop on the 40 and I love this place. I'm disappointed that a few rigs have moved in and made this home. I hope they don't close it.

Price is 90pppn, total bargain for the area and the cheapest accomodation we've found, staff are lovely, ablutions are clean and functional. Sadly the deck for the waterhole has fallen apart (termites), but you can just as easy take your camping chair there the sit Infront of the waterhole.

Stopped in to check on the spot last week. We've had a VERY rainy spring in the area and the lake did flood at some point. Either way, there's a pretty decent size mud pit getting to two of the spots and plenty of bugs to go around down there near the lake. It just didnt look great so we went searching for another spot for the night.

TUTTI I TIPI DI VEICOLI, APERTO DAL 15/03/2024 AL 15/10/2024

stayed 4/21/24, one night in our 35ft 5er & f350 dually. Unexpected festival (Rajun Cajun) on Riverside so thankfully arrived early & got a great spot. Great spot to walk & see all in downtown Memphis. Parking is under all the highways so lots of road noise & trains, didn't bother us, we use white noise/fans/ear plugs. Security & City Police patrol, we felt very safe. We would stay here again

LOTS of highway noise. Decent sized spots, lots of fishing opportunities, and newer facilities. The vault toilet was awful when I stepped inside, chose to avoid that.
Beware: The online paid camping reservation does NOT include the $10/day vehicle fee that they'll charge you for at the gate. I personally would rather have had an inclusive price when booking online than the surprise of having to pay more after already paying for a reservation

Huge parking area direct at the Kitesurf beach. Restaurants and beach bars around. No facilities except in the restaurants/bars (showers and toilets).

Nice and breezy.

small special overlander hotel away from the city, possibility of tinkering with the vehicle, private parking, swimming pool, restaurant (fried fish, a treat) luxury room at 32JOD with fridge, balcony, shower. Very clean
And super nice owner

just a water tap with okay pressure. okay to park (not good, not bad)

Simple primitive camp area. The USFS campgrounds and many of the roads are only open May-Sept so we were glad this road was open. Likely because lots of residences along the road on the way to the camp area. All 2-3 gates were open.

This is a new campground that opened up in 2024! We have six RV palapa sites that are full-hookup (30-amp electricity, water, septic). Bathrooms with showers and laundry are available for guests to use. Each of these RV sites is generous enough to accommodate vehicles up to 24 feet/7.3 meters long, 10 feet/3 meters wide, and 10.6 feet/3.2 meters tall. Maximum occupancy is four guests and two well-behaved pets.

The campground is located in Cabo Pulmo, which is a premier diving location in Baja California Sur. It is possible to witness whales, schools of jack-fish, sharks, and various other marine life when scuba diving or snorkeling in the nearby reefs.

We spent pleasant days here, water, energy 110/220 bathrooms, very nice place

passamos dias agradaveis aqui, agua ,energia 110/220 banheiros , lugar muito gostoso

Beautiful, quiet, level spot surrounded by junipers, with views of the desert on one side and mountains on the other. Road in is very easy. Much nicer and quieter than the OHV area North of Flagstaff. Also made friends with a curious jackrabbit!

Very nice restaurant in the middle of nowhere, they have coffee drinks and food, I even camped in their garden 🚴‍♀️

We travelled back from Russia to Georgia and it was a walk in the park. Two hours, no interviews, no stress and friendly staff. We travelled with our converted van and this is often regarded as a truck. I do recommend passing the trucks and go for the car lane. If you are eventually directed to go to the truck lane it still saves you hours because you cut in line. Assertiveness over politeness seems to be the order of things in nomansland.

Today they told me they cannot exchange a 20 lb bottle. Instead they would fill ours, but this takes a day, so I had to leave again. What's wrong with these gas vendors?!
