Check-Ins

go trough the gate and pass the small roundabout. then you see on your right the " Guyana Tourism Authority" but drive away from it because it is one way traffic. in that building they send us to the an other office at the end of the street where we registered. very friendly people. We can park on a big green with a kind of seperated rooms with a sink (water and electricity). Toilets are near the first building. no shower and no costs. there are all small companies on this compound so till 5 business as useall. 4 km to town, easy walk or take minibus 48 left from the entrance.

this is the Western Union in Duncan street where you can buy the ferry ticket. 7000 GyD

Nos quedamos 2 dias en esta parada, es un sector tranquilo, lo visitan pocas personas, tiene una vista privilegiada increible a la increible fauna, tambien puedes caminar por humedales y por las orilla del rio.

Lo bueno, no hay tanto viento, es tranquilo (al menos en temporada baja), puedes ingresar al río.

Lo malo, la suciedad del lugar.

Clean, occasionally monitored place, good for an overnight stop. But you can hear the street noise. The facilities (pool, sanitary facilities, playground, dining area) have seen better days. Unfortunately, the river has dried up.
What is absolutely unacceptable: two Dobermans are tied to trees with short leashes and have to stay there day and night. Living alarm systems with no room to move! This is simply animal cruelty. Cost: 200 pesos/night for a big rig with two adults and two children.

Easy to find and perfect for one night. Abandoned gaucho hut. No water in dry season.

Pasamos 2 noches acá! Lugar tranquilo (de noche hay un poco de música y movimiento de autos), con electricidad para conectarse, agua, baños (no los usamos) y bien iluminado. Espacio amplio para estacionar. El parque es muy lindo y tiene unas vistas hermosas. Lo recomendamos!

Still a great spot. Shower still there, still free, still peaceful. Several campers parked. No other services. Restaurants at marina open.

Bigger spots for RVs are in the back. We were one of a few other campers. In a shopping area with Starbucks, Target, Petsmart & gas so very convenient. Walked our dogs to the park across the street in the morning and fenced in dog park nearby as well. Pretty quiet, great spot!

Lovely state park, site 48 great spot other than tight to get into but worth it, sites in the 20’s on the lake would be good options. Gorgeous drive up the peninsular with many local places to stop, good for bike riding too. Lots of black flies this time of year, don’t bite but wow there were a lot of the .

very basic place for one night, 20bb pp, no Wifi, no hot water, not so clean, shared toilet on the back yard.
the basic menu 10bb.
you can gard your bike inside in a backyard.

Stayed in a tent site with our class B van. Nice and clean and relatively quiet for our stay. Tent sites are small but functional and must be reserved in advance.

Great boondocking if you can stay by the palapa or just south, otherwise it's just a big parking lot. Be careful of the high tide during a swell (duh) and beware of the bull (wtf?)...seriously, the bull is real. Don't engage, just throw water. There's a school bus by the parking lot that has the best vibes in the area and tiny house/trailers if you get sick of your van/camper. Dude's name is Gio...he's tapped into something special. There's open mic on Sunday (?), everyone turns out for.

We slept one night here. We showed up around noon and asked permission to park there for the night, no problem. Dropped off our laundry around the corner, walked into town to explore the Centro and the mirador, picked up our laundry 2 hours later and enjoyed a good dinner at Meraki. It was a one stop shop and so nice to walk 15 steps to our truck/slidein camper for the night. The washrooms were clean and available all night (we didn’t use the shower). Hector, the owner was super happy to host us for the night.

Nous sommes restés 5 nuits dans cet endroit super calme. Nous sommes en basse saison et avons pu nous mettre près de ce qu’on appellerait la salle des fêtes, nous étions ainsi à l’écart des travaux avec de l’eau et de l’électricité. Les douches sont bien chaudes. Nous avons eu un très bon accueil de la part du propriétaire qui était très réactif à toute demande de renseignements. En plus de l’espagnol, il parle également allemand.
Attention, nous nous étions trompé d’entrée, l’accès se fait par le rond point.
Il y a également quelques animaux qui feront la joie des enfants ainsi que des perroquets 🦜

Excellent place to stay with fresh water source. You can choose between flat place just next to the lake or a bit more hidden place with some basic bench and fireplace. Choose your route to this place very carefully when on the bike since dirt roads become really muddy after the rain

Clean dump on the exit from the Rest Stop, but take the exit path the truckers use. The exit directly from the auto parking lot will bypass the entrance to the dump. There is a hose with the water next to the dump home for cleaning and a water spigot (red tower) about 20ft past the dump hole, but no sign noting the quality of the water, but the water was working

An OK place for one night. We had a visit from six men from the village at 6 PM who were wondering what we were doing. They don't speak English, but we managed to make them understand that we were just staying to sleep and that we would leave for Zimbabwe the next morning. The night was quiet. We only heard a few trucks in the evening and a train at 7 PM.

Good spot for a night and fairly quiet, parked behind trees to the left as you enter, next to a pile of gravel. Not far from amenities. There are bears in the area behind the dog park and one was seen in the larger sports park to the right, but we didn’t cross paths with any.

It's called a camping, but this must probably be an inside joke...
The toilet block is one of the most run down facilities I've ever seen, but look oast this and you'll find yourself in a beautiful green spot overlooking Lak Van and Akdamar Island.

Stayed here several nights and overall a great place. There are some pros and cons though:

Pro: Free with a 72 hour limit
Awesome place for kids as there is a skate park and huge playground right next to the park.
The rec center is cheap and nice place to workout or take a shower.
Water and dump station are close by. However the water was turned off when we were there being too early in the season.

Cons:
Burns Lake does have somewhat of a homeless issue. You’ll see homeless walking around and there was a guy who slept in the park all day and night. Never bothered us.
The last night there was a crazy lady screaming in the playground area. She was likely drunk but it was rather unpleasant.
These issues are more to do with a place like this just being public.
Trees in the park can make Starlink connection difficult. Pick one of the spots that’s open to the sky.

Overall: We felt safe and stayed the full limit. The activities for kids was awesome and we’d return again. Just be aware of the cons and smart.

Fantastic little bakery. Breads and pastries freshly baked on site. Nice sitting area outside so you can enjoy your baked goods

Paid campground showers, $6 unlimited. Just pay at the gas station cashier

We could park and sleep in the van, it is not much space as other people already wrote, but for a few save nights okay. We paid 70 per night for 2 people.

We shipped from Mombasa to Salalah.
Everything went smoothly and the communication with Antony was always very good. Can really recommend them for shipping. We paid around 2200$ for a 20ft container for the Kenya side.

In Oman we used Sohar shipping. We paid around 900$ there. Communication there wasn’t really that good, so wouldn’t really recommend them.

One of the best in Freetown, big menu with veg options. Many sandwiches, burgers, pizza, breakfast options, we visited 3 times

We sampled the veg burger, falafel wrap, zinger burger, meatball sub, hummus & eggs Benedict. All was fantastic & this is a nice place but not too expensive in my option. We payed cash but I think you can also pay card, small parking area outside, if you are lucky you can get a spot. Otherwise we parked at freetown mall about 50 meters away, with permission from the manager

beautiful spot on the river indeed and nobody around as of beginning of May. RVs and big trailers should camp on the air strip and not blocking the view for others

Quiet place, we slept here with a 4x4 and a tent. It's flat and there is grass, the water in the river is pleasant. The train passes right next to it but there is not much passage. To access here you need a high clearance vehicle. Only downsides, the place seems popular for the locals, we found several condoms and wipes ... and there is a lot of waste.

We spent one night there. Calm, clean toilets, hot shower and a nice kitchen. We parked under the roof because of the rain. 25pppn.
Try to reach them on whatsapp (‪+55 51 99313‑7891‬) before you arrive when off season to avoid waiting in front of it.

Great spot off the river! Spent 2 days here. Vault toilet as well. Lots of trails nearby. Place pack out your trash!!

We spent one night here, according to a local it is safe and we felt safe too! Taxis and other cars coming and going until about 8pm, then very quiet. As already described at 6am there are Zumba/Airobics classes with really loud music on the sports field right in front. Advantage: no alarm clock needed ;)
