Check-Ins

very nice stone formation where you can hike and walk with nice view. you can park nearby (free from 6pm to 10am, but forbidden to camp).

Not great but not too bad. Close to highway but quieter after dark. Couple of trains passed by, but no whistle. Lovely lake. No signs.

Still a great place to stay for the night!

Nice small campground just off the highway, so there is some road noise, but not obtrusive. We had tried South Rolly Lake Campground first and it was packed due to it being a Saturday. This campground was less than half full.

We parked very easily on a Saturday without prior reservation with our 30 Ft. RV. Price $20 for regular vehicles, $30 for SUV and $50 for a large RV. The parking garage is in the Tenderloin District - which is not considered very safe. However, we found the parking garage to be trustworthy. It's only a few minutes' walk to Union Square.

Very good option for camping. Spectacular view. We arrived at night along the beautiful mountain road. In the morning some farmers passed by with their cows. Very friendly. Very quiet night. We checked some pensions in the city but they asked us 1500 MZM for very ugly and dirty rooms. In a hotel they dared to ask us for 3000. Don't doubt, it was cold in the mountains but it was great

As descriebed. There is a spot hidden from the road for tent (bikers) but without the morning sun. otherwise sunny from sunrise to sunset. One can ask for water ar the village 1km before the spot.

hog farm nearby - intense smell when the wind doesn't blow out blows in the wrong direction. train every few hours.

Camped with a few trailers and cars Saturday in June 2024. Nearby train horn every hour all night. I wouldn't stay again.

Enjoyed a nice quiet night here. Parked in the main lot.

Nice open clearing in the car park. Stayed two nights, whilst working on my van. Lots of disc golfers who were up for a chat during the day. Nice drop toilets and a base ball field further down. No water. Typical Kamloops terrain, dry, dusty and lots of sun/heat. Little road noise heading up to sunpeaks and one local on an atv but they were all harmless.

STEALTH, PLEASE!! I use this spot regularly and notice as it gets more well known, 'stealthiness' is getting tossed aside. I actually had someone set up a roof tent on top of their vehicle next to me. If this keeps up, soon there will be "No overnight parking" signs up....please, stop. If you cant be stealth, go to a campground!

Great spot used by locals (until nearly 8:00) hard to get a spot until the day users go home.

Very quiet spot. The wildlife also seems to do a number on the garbage bins so we did a little tidying.

Buffet restaurant, you must paid per kilo.
60R$ PER kilo
Very good dishes

Great spot along the river. Only one here tonight

Exactly as describe. $3 in quarters gives 8 minutes for hot showers!. You can add a quarter for a minute

Llegamos a las 12 del mediodía y pasamos todo el día, por la noche paso la policía y todo bien, y también se estacionaron 3 camiones para dormir!
Excelente vista con la naturaleza, de día muchos turistas!

We arrived at 12 noon and spent the whole day, at night the police passed by and everything was fine, and 3 trucks were also parked to sleep!
Excellent view of nature, many tourists during the day!

Been awhile since an updated review... nothing to new to report, but stayed here the other night and it was great. Large spot, could technically be two spots as there were two different fire rings set up in different areas. But there are also so many other spots around the entire crater, that I can't imagine it would ever be so busy that you would need to share the spot for two separate parties.

Not sure what road the person saying there was a downed tree on a few years back, but there were no access issues I came across.

This is a huge paved, level parking lot. There are clean pit restrooms and a picnic table or two. It’s a good place for an overnight stop. There were bugs but the breeze made it bearable. There’s a short gravel road down to a clear river.

Stopped here for the night before crossing the border to Peru the next day. It’s a great stop. Showers and bathrooms are free, clean, and nice. The parking spots are a bit slanted, but we leveled out with two traction boards. Mini market is fully stocked if you need anything.

We took the 69 highway instead of E35 and it was fine. Paved, one lane going each way. Occasional landslides that had broken up the asphalt, but nothing crazy. Remote mountain pass, but good asphalt. I recommend topping up with gas here and before Peru, because it’s much more expensive there!

Really nice place! Just by the museum "La petite Ecole de l'Anse. Visits are free and worth the time to learn about the "Chemin du portage". Recycling and trash beans. Toilets. The parking lot faces the river. Wonderful landscape.

the place is vast. it's a farm with some dirt roads and "undispersed style" camping. there is a host to help show you the place. there's flushing toilet with bedets and showers.

THERE ARE NO OCEAN VIEWS. although we thought this wasn't true considering the location, I'd lIke to make this more clear. it is false.

having said that, it's quiet and peaceful and there are roaming goats and llamas.

Late June 2024, and it's still there. Same price. $10 for dump. $5 per 5 gallons. Easy to get to in a 36' bus. Right next to good diesel pumps.

Nice family and clean room. We paid 4000 som for a private room with bathroom. They let us use the kitchen for cooking and they have a nice common area. Also let us use the laundry machine so it was perfect for us after a rainy day

Great view of the mountain. Clear for solar and Starlink. Maybe 4 spots along this road. The end and one other spot were taken late on a Saturday. Staying at this pin. Just a small pull off but it feels bigger since cars don't really drive through here much. Our van is level here. It was a bit trashed but I packed up the garbage. I also remade the fire pit which was the usual disfunctional mound. Would camp for several days here.

The road after gas station heading north is really bad until Ruhubelent (almost 300km). Some parts more potholes than the road, expect slow movement and be prepared for possible breakdowns (part of our exhaust fell down because of the road)

Our transit times with Suzuki Vitara 4x4:
- Asgabat to Yerbent 2 hours (160km)
- Yerbent to crater 3 hours (110km)
- Crater to Ruhubelent 5.5 hours (188km)
- Ruhubelent to Dasoguz border 2 hours (120 km)

The worst part is around 100km after crater which took us around 3.5 hours. Also be carefull about locals with old lifted toyotas who drive 80 - 100 km per hour over all potholes.

Enjoy for what you have paid hundreds of dollars..

The road is actually better than the main road. When you choose right track it should be possible with any car.

Drove here in rainy season but it hadn't rained the past 2 days.

Super cool road in the middle of the jungle, very few parts are slow and muddy but its mostly flat gravel road where you can reach 40-50km/h with a car.

me quedé dos noches...una pegado a la escuela, y otro, enfrente. ambas noches, súper tranquilas. excelente para hacer noche y disfrutar al otro día, el parque sierra de las quijadas

A short side road of a side road next to a small lake. There is room for one or two tents or (maybe) one van/camper... No amenities whatsoever
