Check-Ins

Beautiful little caravan park. Great facilities hot and clean showers. Sink to wash dishes with hot water. Right next to Rosslyn chapel, nice walks and 8min walk to bus for Edinburgh. About £40 a night for electric.

We slept here two nights, before and after going to Canyonland. Very quiet and recommended place.

Dormimos dos noches acá, antes y después de visitar Canyonland. Lugar muy tranquilo y recomendable.

as previously described. nice out of the way BLM campground. clean, "real" bathrooms, no showers tho. 8-10 fcfs sure with covered picnic tables. 2 rv only electric/ water dies ($18), no dump station. other suites are $7, day use only is $5. exact cash or check only. bring all your supplies with. there's a Sm market I saw at the highway turnoff. petroglyphs are worth the hike, about 2.5 miles round trip. the village is in the opposite side, about 1 mile round trip. pets are allowed but not in the office or bathrooms or on the trails. nice place for a couple days adventure or overnight stop. I stayed til the 7th.

Stayed here 3 nights. Perfect spot to take your dog on the hike. Ask Manuel to show you where the closest ‘entrance’ is to the 12.5km trail around the lake. Go clockwise so you end up at the entrance (in case they say something about your dog). Only one employee stopped us and told us how cute our dog was. Didn’t seem to care at all.

Really comfy locations. Perfectly level. Manuel is extremely kind, even offered us a hot juice to try. Colada de uvilla, I believe it’s called. $10/night for two of us in a van.

They have a puppy that loves to play. Our sog had a great time. There’s a lot of grassy areas like a soccer field and a volleyball court. There’s a beautiful alpaca on the property as well. Nice covered outdoor area with hammocks and tables.

Showers still under construction. They look like they will be super nice. Possibility to fill up on water with a hose. Unless you have a long hose, you will need to use theirs.

There wifi didn’t always stretch to the van, so we set up Starlink. Great connection.

Good spot to stop before Ayacucho. The view is prettier on the PE3S watchtowers (coming from the south), but at least the spot is not visible from the main road. There are a few passages of premises by car.
We felt safe.
In the morning 3 people came to collect the potatoes in the neighboring house.
Good Claro signal

Wonderful spot, right on the river, established fire rings. It’s definitely a little bumpy, and has exposed rocks on the road. Like mentioned before there quite a bit of trash, but worth picking up to hang out in a pretty spot. My 25ft camper fit without a problem. No AT&T service.

Quiet rest area. Welcome center open from 8am-5pm. Pets not allowed in buildings. No coffee vending machine available.

We didn’t ask for permission and just stayed a little bit hidden from the road. No one disturbed us, many times locals passed and just said hello.

Hippos and Crocs are in the water, also if your lucky you can see the Kilimanjaro.

A really good place to sleep after or before crossing the border. Or if you want to visit the termas.
Quiet at night and a lot of space.

small structure with a cañone
very small but a good sightseeing

Endroit très mal entretenu, ÉNORMES trous sur le chemin, beaucoup de déchets, poubelles débordantes, vieux matelas., etc. Ce site ne nous a pas semblé sécuritaire. Dommage, car la vue est effectivement très belle et c’est très grand. À éviter selon moi.
Very poorly maintained place, HUGE holes on the way, a lot of waste, overflowing garbage cans, old mattresses., etc. This site did not seem safe to us. Too bad, because the view is indeed very beautiful and it's very big. To be avoided in my opinion.

Small path leads towards a patch of grass next to a building. There is space for two tents, only accessible by bike.

Parking calme près d'une jolie plage pour admirer le coucher de soleil imprenable et dormir en paix. Les toilettes n'étaient pas accessibles de jour et de nuit (fermées à clef).

We tried to cross border from Tanzania to Kenia with EU passport and SA registered car. Apply for a e visa a week before by use of a computer not by a phone it's 35 USD pp. At the border a fixer can do it for 20USD pp fee.
They did't want to give an East-Africa visa. At this border Customs doesn't allow you to crossborder with a SA registered car without CDP despite you want to pay 500USD to a fixer. We didn't crossborder

Couldn’t agree more with the last comment! This place is well worth the price. I’m betting the cost of the ingredients alone for these dishes would add up. New, creative, and delicious “sweet” and “salty” breakfast/brunch each week. You’ve got to try their horchata coffee. We heard they are changing the days from just Friday to Sunday, so maybe message ahead if you were thinking of a Thursday. Added some photos!

Comme décrit, à droite une petite descente de bateau près de la route donc on entend les camions mais avec des bouchons il n’y a aucun souci. Endroit calme près de l’eau. Pas beaucoup d’espace pour la haute saison.

Access to this area is open, road may have some rough areas due to heavy rain - large area to turn around

Yes, the beginning of the road, where everyone else is camping / some people probably living, is full of RV’s and trash, but if you just keep going a couple miles on 25rd, all the way out to the book cliffs, it is secluded and beautiful! Highly recommend this spot if you need a campsite very close to GJ, but yes, there are way better spots if you’re willing to drive a lot further out of town.

Juan Cristóbal and his team are extremely helpful and will help you with anything you need, not just with solar issues. I came here with a completely discharged battery and he tested the whole system to ensure it wasn’t having problems and then proceeded to charge my battery for 24 hours to get it back to normal. He is very knowledgeable and can help with anything solar related. He didn’t even charge me for the work.

40 bol for Volkswagen Kombi, it’s the flat rate. If you have a bigger rig, you’ll probably be asked to pay 50.

Very quiet rest area and don’t hear any highway noise. Lot was almost full when I arrived at 10 PM, but had no problem finding a spot.

easy to find. level gravel area suitable for larger RVs but if you are towing a vehicle you will probably have to unhook to turn around. we are 38ft plus flat tow jeep and with tree branches and other cars etc needed to unhook to get into a spot for the night but that was no problem.

easy spot to pull in for the night. level and quiet, even though there were several other rigs and it was right off the road

estuvimos unos 6 días en este lugar estacionados afuera de Hoku, nos sentimos en casa, hicimos el paseo pura vida 1, fue increíble conocer el cayó muerto, quizás la playa más linda que vimos en todo el viaje por Sudamérica, tiene lugares cerca donde comprar comida y en la farmacia nos hicimos adictos a las arepas mechada... excelente lugar, Nelson fue muy buena onda con nosotros, gracias Pura Vida!

Exit Mozambique was fast and easy. Additional too the passport they want to see the receipt from the entry free, which we got at the Mount Selinda border.

Enter Eswatini was also easygoing.
In total, 10 minutes, including the selfie with the border police 😉
We are traveling by bicycle 🚲 🚲

Wanted to leave a review since there hasn’t been one in a while. It is a longer drive down a dirt road but it’s pretty smooth, just took it slow. This is a unique spot, natural rock formations are cool and it’s fun to walk around and up the rocks. We found a flat spot at the front of the rocks facing out towards the fields/mountains. Be careful of sand! We did fine with fwd. Very little people out here. We stayed during the week, so no atv action. We did have a man come up to our van and ask us how long we would be staying and he gave us a history of the place. Said he was a “blm volunteer”. Have never heard of that in 2 full time years of vanlife ?? but he was nice. Think he might’ve been a self appointed volunteer. The next guy that came up on an atv, waved me out of the van and started asking questions about the starlink (which got good signal btw). Felt like these were locals monitoring the area? Not sure but it was kind of weird. We only stayed 2 nights, but it’s blm and there are specified camping areas so we knew we were good to be here. Next- this time of year the grasshoppers are INSANE. They are massive and come out as a huge group in the afternoons, stay til dinner then disappear and do the same thing the next day. They hop around like frogs but they are scared of humans. Was something else though! Overall glad we came to check this area out.

Very nice campsite. Six campsites with private clean ablutions, kitchen with sink and spacious shaded area. Very friendly and caring owner / manager. Close to Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp for a lunch or a sundowner. Highly recommended.

Nice place to camp if your visiting Durango. The camping area is well set up with running water (not potable) electricity and good wifi. We were here in the dry season, but it could be muddy during rainy season. There are lots of covered shelters with concrete poured pads within the pool areas, it would make a great addition to the camping area if they added a few (it would provide more shade and perfect for rainy season). Campers can enjoy the pools after hours. Very quite at night with cooler temperatures for sleeping.

On National Forest land next to the drive just before it turns into the Bakerville - Loveland Pass snowshoe/ski/bike route.

Across Clear Creek and some nice beaver works from I-70. Traffic noise (including downhill-bound truck engine braking/jake-brakes), but traffic volume does drop off in the wee hours.

Free dump station and water spicket right on the corner of an intersection...easy access from Hwy 22
