WC OK but not very clean. Mobil phone OK but low signal in 4G.
Some people passed despite the rain.

Super nice place to stay. There are few clean parking spots not beside the church, but just beside the road. Quiet. Safe. Nobody in the night.

Great breakfast spot if you're staying at one of the hotels/hostels in this area. $4.50-5.75 for a really nice breafast. The coffee is great too.

Auto elétrica em geral. Galpão grande que pode receber veículos grandes.
Atendimento diferenciado com Variado estoque de peças.

hot private showers $11 with sink and toilet, couple extra $ if you need towels. Also has a restaurant and a huge parking lot you can likely stay the night at

RV Dump station at West bound rest area. It is located as you are exiting the rest area so if you want to use the bathroom or get out and walk, park first then dump as you are leaving because once you get to the dump stay you can’t get back into the parking area.

Nice view! But the camping ist not leveled (even for small camper terrible), there are NO showers, just the possibility to buy water to wash (I didn’t use). The price for camping was 70.000. Way too much I think.
Wifi is ok.

I couldn’t find a place that OP put nearby and kept driving across the river to another side. This opening is away from houses across the river, very quiet, river is clear and flowing for an amazing bath in the morning.
Lots of shade, and lots of bugs
Some locals pass by, but everyone is friendly

Blue spigot is in the back free with fill up. RV dump also free with fill up otherwise $3. Sign says if you plug the drain you’ll pay to get it unplugged.

Water tap with good pressure, near the toilets (don’t even think of using the toilets).

$5. 2 dump stations in the state park with potable water. One is just inside the campground and the other is just outside where you follow the signs.

good place, it takes 1:30 hour to wash and dry, 6 dollars for all, the machine is quite big! good place we recommend it

The garden of Regula, where we could stay with our campervan, is a small oasis. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Ismail brought us fresh pomelos and tomatoes from the garden. We highly recommend this place to stay

About 20 parking spots at the Jolly Green Giant statue....
No signs stating No Overnight Parking. One other camper van here. Toilets available when welcome center open.

Great water! This set of coordinates is for the turnoff. Spring is a little further up the road.

Verified inside that the red pump spigot is potable. You'll find it at the RV Islands.

Gates still closed but the guard on the other side of the road (near the park) called at us and opened the gate. Nice little park but the Adam tree itself is just a dead piece of wood.

The pin is not in the richt location. Walk a bit north along the Tigris.

Kuwait > Iraq

First window at Kuwait side is customs for carnet stamp. Took a bit longer for us due to new software system on their side.

Second window nothing but after this window you have go inside the building on the right for passport check. They keep green permit and visa.

Then continue to final gate where passport is checked for Kuwait exit stamp.

Iraq side quite easy. At first gate they check your documents and do superficial car check. Right after the gate (before roundabout) go to window on the left side. Here they write down some info about you and your car. Go to the office behind the window for something with your passport (no fees here).

Then continue to roundabout and park on right side. Go to most left container for carnet. Then second from the right container for insurance. Then go to banking office by foot. This is somewhere in the middle of the compound, 200 meters or so away from the roundabout. Here we paid +/- $27 for carnet processing. Then back to the roundabout for 3 sets copies (most right container) (paid 5.000 IQD). Go back to most left container for gate pass and leave one set of copies there.

Then drive to passport building which is clearly visible from roundabout. Go inside and take immediate left to get your visa. Fees for visa including processing: $79, 1.000 IQD, 2.000 IQD (creditcard only, no cash!). Once you have the visa go to the other windows inside the same building for last stamp.

Get back in your car and drive towards exit. There they keep last 2 sets of copies and the gate pass and do another superficial car check.

Here is where you enter one of the most popular trekking of Valle de las Ánimas. There is a chain in the road and most people leave their car before of it. If you want to cross with your car there is a community fee of BOB 30 for it (entrance is free for people). We crossed the chain, paid the fee and ask the lady if could sleep there in the entrance, “no problem” she said. There is only one spot for medium vans but maybe you could find more into the Valle. We did the trekking the next day, it is beautiful. Good Entel reception.

National forest camp site looks like 4 or 5 spots Not sure but don't see a charge

direction la Paz, Contrôle de péage, nous avons payé le péage précédent donc rien ici, juste après la police contrôle TIP et permis de conduire, RAS

As described, great wee place. Don't no of water is potable we just used it for rinsing.

Very nice little Cafe right on the beach. Good and cheap coffee (two for one) and they also had some toys and coloring books for the kids.

The tap is still chained up as of today. :( booo

Good Campground with good bathrooms and hot showers. They don’t permit you fill the RV tank with water and they charge extra money to use electricity. Good place close to downtown and was a safe place to let our RV to make an expedition to Salar del Uyuni

we slept here one night for free, we asked the staff.
there is one shower, it was clean, also a kitchen with a stove and a fridge! The gas station closes at 9pm but you can stay overnight as we did.

Nice beach to camp. right in from of a school, very clean and nice view for sunrise. the beach is great, cold and clean. there are no services .
the entrance is for motorcycle or bicycle. i moto camp for one night, very calm , and no people in the beach. only a few fishermans in the morning
