Check-Ins

Perfect over night spot. Only 15 minutes from the ferry’s to catch an early ferry over to Vancouver Island. Ditto….peaceful, tucked in the trees, sounds and views of the river all night long. Only the occasional car drove by.

Lovely spot with awesome views over the lakes and surrounding snowcapped mountains. Great sunset too. Eady to reach with any vehicle.

We camped up the cliffs and met some of the very nice locals. Going to the toilet might be a bit of a challenge when you don't have your own, but still manageable.

Good internet reception with Turkcell. Downside: tons of non-biting tiny flies in the tall grass.

Many spots around this area, some also well accessable when rain ... with 6t, 4x4.

Nice, clean place. Appartements and hotelrooms. But most important super friendly people, spoke fluently English, drove us to the exchange office and secure parking inside.
Helped us with all necessary travel requests.

bise secure place. motorbikes can be placed inside securely.

Near Galéria there is right at the seaside a four terraces high parking spot for campers and vans. I read on Google maps that it cost 20 euro per night, but we were there for free. I think about 13 others vehicles were there. It's a nice little town to visit with cows at the beach.

Absolutely beautiful location right on Trinity Lake. The lake is almost full this year so great time to visit. No services pack it in pack it out. Dirt road down to lake a bit steep and big ruts from winter when it was wet and large trucks dug the ruts but easily doable. I have 4x4 but did not use it.

Interesting hotel for motorcyclists, we could park our 2 motos in a secure place inside the gate of the hotel. ( 3 motos should also be possible but not more I think).
About the hotel it is a moderate price (40 euros for a triple room, breakfast included). Everything is clean and the room is big.

very nice place to stay and talk with Lukas about this awesome region, Highly recommend anyone to spend a night or more at the Taiga campsite.
enjoy

A fine spot for the night, nothing special. The dirt road getting here is a bit rough and narrow. We showed up late in the evening after leaving Yosemite and no one ever drove by. 1-2 bars Verizon. Not super level but ok for the van.

A lovely campsite just outside Franschoek. Beautiful location and setout with amazing ablutions . Highly recommended . Paid R500 per night for overland truck and 2 people

Perfect homestay. Clean room, very nice owner. Above a cafe (crazy monk) where you can eat wonderfull food. View is amazing. Price is good.

Good place to stop and rest; couple of people passing by but no bothers at all,
Nice breeze here, finally.

After reconstruction it looks nice and clean again.
Hot shower, clean bathroom, good Wifi, a lot of space at each campsite.
All people are very friendly.
Still 200 N$ pPpN,
laundry possible (100 N$ per load).

Yeah this spot is amazing I turned to the right at the bottom of the hill like another person said and I have this area to myself and it is just perfect. No mosquitoes in mid May.

Spot still there, even the trash, good spot though. Fireplaces.

Llegamos tarde y nos fuimos temprano. Cumple para descansar

Beautiful little spot with a waterfall. Laundromat across the street. Several other campers, cars and vans here also. Pay attention to the signs and park in the correct area.

Charming old hotel. Right across the square from the Police Station with a view of the river. We parked our Cruiser in the street & there was a security guard watching it. Room was comfortable with plenty of hot water and the food in the restaurant was good. Lots of charming old architecture in Dondo.

There is a water tap with good pressure 5m beside the street. On the other side of the street there is a bar named Santis Bar.

Really well maintained campsites. Each day garbage is collected. Site was freshly raked when we arrived. Long drop toilet was clean and not smelly 😁 The entire area is amazing for the rock formations. Sunsets and sunrises are spectacular depending where you are. Great place for a few nights with just you and the stars!

+505 5823 2920 very helpful ! Text her and it was fixed the same day. Bring 12USD cash and you have your insurance for 30 days! We forgot to do it at the border.

Entrance is very overgrown now. I had to walk to find it. It is on the west (Kariba) side of where you would leave the road in a straight line. Views will be better later when the leaves fall. Lots of flies during the day, all quiet at night. Invisible from the road. Very nice for a stopover.

Road from Kariba is surprisingly good

Road from Alpha is good gravel, there’s some villages with shops, elephants be carful in the early and in sunset time, there’s a water source here, road is sandy in the first part and the. Rocky, manageable ( bicycle) for 4x4 it’s kind of easy

Nice restaurant, good fresh food, not cheap. Especially when you have kids worth a detour; small pool, trampoline, and play area (and the owners have 4 girls that are often around).
We went multiple times. It's a ~10km beach walk from Goody Villa's.

Just another nomad-friendly rest area. Like most, no WiFi.

small parking lot near a boat ramp, few cars came in evening but was pretty quiet at night. chemical toilet on place, I can't tell if they were clean I didn't use them

Nice spot. Space for 3 campers or so. We found a level spot.

Price is $2 for the night. If you’re early (before 5pm) you can get the WiFi password from the Termales building 50m further down the road.
There is enough reception from there.

Cute and happy dogs around.

Endroit tranquille et sur face à la mer.

This a great place in the cottonwoods for shade next to the river. The road would be impassable if it had been raining. It is not suitable for large rigs. I took our 14’ trailer and was brushing the trees in the curves.
