Check-Ins

A beautiful spot! I had service but only when it connected to canada’s towers. There is too much drift wood blocking the path at this moment to be able to drive onto the beach, but the pull off is plenty big.

great, clean laundry mat. reasonably priced

Great parking spot with no signs saying “no camping”. View of Denali through the winter trees. Not a lot of options in winter months, most pullouts and viewpoints still unplowed and closed, but this is nicely plowed and cleared for parking.

I can confirm I was able to cash out 400,000 clp

cretacico park. the visit is with a guide in English or Spanish. here you can see around thirty life-size replicas of dinosaurs, a small museum explaining the dinosaur traces found on the wall of the quarry next to the park. only between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m., a short 45-minute guided excursion takes you to see the dinosaur tracks. This excursion is supposedly for those over 12 years old, but that’s only because you have to go down and back up a drop of around a hundred meters. so if your child is able to do this walk they can join the excursion. foreign price: 30 bowls per adult and child under 12 years old 10 bowls. nice park, there is a small play area for children where they can discover dinosaur remains.

parc cretacico. la visite se fait avec un guide en anglais ou espagnol. ici vous pourrez voir une trentaine de réplique de dinosaures grandeur nature, un petit musée expliquant les traces de dinosaure retrouvé sur la paroi de la carrière à côté du parc. seulement entre 12 h et 13 h, une petite excursion de 45 mn guidée vous emmène voir les traces de dinosaures. cette excursion est soit disant pour les plus de 12 ans, mais c’est uniquement car il faut descendre et remonter un dénivelé d’une centaine de mètres. donc si votre enfant est apte à faire cette marche il peut se joindre à l’excursion. prix étranger: 30 bols par adultes et enfant de moins de 12 ans 10 bols. parc sympa, il y a une petite aire de jeux pour enfants ou ils peuvent découvrir des restes de dinosaures.

Wonderful kind ppl who cooked us a nice milanesa with tasty fries and rice. relatively expensive (70 sol for 2) but we could sleep here as well and use the WiFi. recommend!

The price for a private room and bathroom is now 58 $. including drinking water and breakfast.

Decently quiet parking. nice clean showers, like most Loves locations. 👍

slept like a baby

Great Mechanic. Agustin is super friendly and knowledgeable. He has a full shop and was able to source parts in Ensenada and get us on the road. He also speaks fluent English which can be helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great spot, lots of vans and smaller RVs. Everyone parks here and there are no restrictions, except during the day(4hr maximum). Stayed in bend for a week and parked here every night.

This is my second night at this location. Several campers and vans both nights. Not too noisy. We were able to get a good nights sleep. Thanks Cracker Barrel!

Shower did not work, but we got hot water to wash ourselves with bottle. The dog is very intrusive and starts to bark in the evening, luckily stopped after a while. However, the owner is very friendly, talkactive and helpful. We got hot water in the morning for tea. You can also buy some snacks and drinks from their small shop.

Il faut absolument réserver en ligne sur le site « recreation.gouv » ou via l’ application. Aucun first in maintenant. Et c’est 35$US

Easy to use if you pull to the right of the cones. Towards the drive through… you can get out before the barrier.

I broke down with what I thought was a transmission issue 30min outside of San Ignacio. this shop was recommended by a local couple who stopped to help me, and I'm so glad they did. insurance could not help me find a tow, and basically told me to get bent since it was up to me to find one. This shop has a tow truck!

thankfully, we didn't need it. I communicated with both Leon and his son, Leon Jr thru Whatsapp, which made translation much easier (and even made it possible to 3way call with a fluent speaker), since neither speak any English.

they drove out to assess the issue and Leon was extremely confident he knew the issue within a few minutes of troubleshooting. he fixed the part right on the side of the highway and said I should get that replaced sometime in the near future, but didn't pressure me to drive back to his shop to get it replaced. even encouraged me to get home sooner instead. very honest and kind.

we were short on Pesos (maybe had enough to cover his gas but not his time), gave him some USD as well. he asked if we had any more, and when we explained we had intended to have friends bring us more the next day, he said don't worry about it, and to call him if we have any questions. I later asked those friends to bring him more pesos when they passed thru town.

tl;Dr: Kind, honest, doesn't upcharge or try to upsell. Willing to drive out to help. Very knowledgeable.

Parking for the Munayshy Stadium, busy street during the day, quiet at night. Walking distance to Ural river promenade. Beeline reception very good. Cyclists may ask inside stadium for camping.

We slept one night at this station, the staff was very kind and said we could sleep in a retreat that has a direction towards Medellín. There is a lot of noise from the road, as it is next door. It has a bathroom, but it closed for a period due to lack of water. We don't pay anything, we just fill up the car in the morning.

Dormimos uma noite neste posto, o pessoal foi muito gentil e disse que poderíamos dormir num recuo que tem sentido Medellín. Tem bastante ruído da estrada, pois fica ao lado. Possui banheiro, mas fechou por um período por conta de falta de água. Não pagamos nada, somente abastecemos o carro pela manhã.

Very peaceful and beautiful place to camp. Instead of stopping at the reservoir, which was muddy and didn’t look so nice, I just continued on the road a bit further (away from the main road) and there were lots of spots to set up camp.

We stayed one night, beautiful place, sunset and sunrise were beautiful. Safe.

Nos quedamos una noche, el lugar es hermoso, divino el amanecer y el atardecer. Nos sentimos seguros.

Had the knock from BP Security at 8.20 pm. Apparently this is BP property and no camping overnight allowed

It's a royal enfield workshop. But if you just need "heavier" tools to use or have a general problem, they are really friendly to help you or lend the tools.
Didn't even have to pay for it. Super nice :)
The owner also speaks English.

No problem end of April on 2 motorcycles. There was no water at all.

End of April same like in October. Nobody was there, looks abandonded.

Very basic campsite with a stunning view of the falls as well as valley. There are toilets but no running water. Staff are friendly, and they can organize tours/hikes as well as hot water for the outdoor shower.

water tap, the last we saw on our way up to the volcano etna

Amazing avocado chips sandwich. It is called Erteb, and I think that is the only thing they serve, with tea. Costs 80birr.
If you re visiting the national museum or if you are just passing by, don't miss the chance to try! Plastic benches on the street all round this small place and full of locals. I have added some pictures.

Hotel for about 60$ per night incl. breakfast and free private parking directly in front of the hotel. Reservation necessary, via whatsapp or phone. The hotel is on booking.com.

Parking lot size for Land Rover Defender possible. However, the hotel should be informed in advance.

Good location to explore everything on foot.

A good place for eating different foods from Asia. It whas good, cheap and authentic.
