Check-Ins

Turned right. pit toilets 😊. The wind was good, so no mosquitoes 🦟 😊
Verizon full LTE.
One other tent ⛺ plus one other car. So plenty of space! 🌌

Exit 464 on the 401
Lots of parking few spots for RVS by subway. There is a spot where transports park as well behind Tim Hortons

Between BBQs and picnic shelter a two for filling water containers. Too for for a hose and no thread. Go to water filling station for that

Free dump at water fill station behind green fence

Coin or card options on different machines $1.30 for 200 litres BYO own hose

100 hundred meter after this location, on the right, there is a little spot to pick a tent. You are next to the gravel road and there are a lot of hiker but no one bothered us, only some friendly "hello!".
In a mountain covered by cement and close street, this place is very good.
We passed here 2 nights

I think this place is victim of it's own success, when we arrived we got placed in the side building because it was full. We slept on the floor and he offered us the same price as the real room.
The owner said the next day we could go in the main building but didn't change while there was free bed ...

food was average at best. On the same day we got a plov at the pamir hotel that was delicious and one in the evening at the erali guest house that was probably the worst plov we got in Tadjikistan

It's a good place to meet people but I'd say they cannot handle the number of guests they have.
Breakfast was nice tho.

Found this spot while looking for the “Nehalem River Free Camping” site. It’s a wonderful spot off of Foss Rd and is well past the Nehalem Falls Campgrounds. The site has room for a camper van or SUV or two and a few tents. But I wouldn’t try getting down the “driveway” to the camping area without AWD or 4x4 especially if wet. This site is more than just a pull-off, and the driveway makes a small loop. There was already a rock fire ring at the site. From the camp site it’s a steep grade down to the river. We didn’t attempt hiking down to the river since no obvious trail safe was seen. If you find a trail to the river that you can climb back up please leave a comment. The site is not level but we got close with leveling blocks. This spot was pretty amazing. Please note, we are not from around here, and we assumed this is part of the State Forest land. The best part of all was no mosquitoes in late June!

It’s a tight spot, best to reverse in. Squeeze 2 LC side by side. Has a peaceful night. Be respectful leave the place clean, not sure if it’s private or government land. High clearance vehicles recommend to get in as the road is a little rough getting in

$7.50 per night per person must book online. Limited reception Telstra Ok. Most of the campsite is sandy and needs 4x4 however is quieter times you can navigate the road in the campsite which is parallel to the road for a short while and find a spot with firm ground. I made it with a 2wd and so did others. Otherwise U can park on the road next to campsite and camp with tent over the fence. Amazing beach, which is 4x4 accessible. A much cheaper and easier than Fraser. Although if you have a 4x4 Fraser island is highly recommended. Dog on lead friendly pit toilets nothing else

11 USD pppn (although it was 12 on a paper on a board)

Nice tea plantation villa with big garden to camp in. Toilet and shower (only cold water) was okay. WiFi very good.

nice place. joggers pass by early in the morning but it's very quiet.
police stopped by in the evening but they didn't tell us anything so I suppose it's not a big deal to overnight here.

This place is such a treasure for an overnight stay. Right by the water and a convenient stop.

We were warmly greeted by James, who provided us with a copy of the rules. The rules are very reasonable, and what a courteous overlander would do anyway.

I wish that more places would extend this kindness and guidance to travelers rather than simply outlawing camping when a few people cause problems.

Thank you, Union Bay Boat Ramp, for modeling a new way of doing things!

Getting here is best by turning down the road with the colorful pillar by the side of the road. Its a few km out of the city just before you see a cemetary. The road is a bit tricky at parts especially one very short steep section. We were fine with our Jimny. The beach is nice and quiet. It was raining when we got here so didn’t stay long but probably it’s nice place when the weather is better.

If the GPS location is correct it is a very muddy trail with ruts that leads down to it, so accès by 4x4,motorbikes bicyles.

Very nice spot next to the lake down is lots of grass and even a fire pit. Up is a paved parking lot. Had to share with 4 campers, place seems to be popular.

At the rim of the creek to lake Yashikul with amazing view. Many places like this towards the lake. Yaks at the meadow down at the right.
ATTENTION: In the late morning a car came, made pictures of us and charged the entrance fee for the national park, 108 Som per person and car.
For us the place was it worth.

The only ATM out of 20 i’ve tried to both accept Mastercard and not be empty on a Saturday at 11am.

Be aware: the spot is close to the conservatory which is on the other side of the river. A lion pride lives very close by. In sunset time we saw them hunting down a zebra and a big group of hyenas joint them eating the zebra.
You can also see other game, like zebra, giraffes etc

We stayed next to the river, no people around. Just the shepherds come with their cattle from midday to sunset.

Internet signal available, you can hear the road a little bit.

This is an alternative to the route more to the East (also described in iOverlander). Road condition is a bit better than the other one (less holes), high clearance necessary. It took us 2,5h until the cliff - ~90km.
Be aware that conditions change a lot if it rains.
You can find the track on Maps.me.

FYI — From the Forest Service website, “The road to Last Chance Campground (Goose Creek Road-50453) will be closed near Highway 55 beginning July 8, and will be closed into October. The campground will be closed during the road closure and bridge construction project.”

Nice location with grass & hard standing sites and some trees to pitch tents under. Showers & toilets on the basic side and insufficient in number if there were more than say 50 visitors. Electric hookups and taps at a few spots. Old building with leaky thatch roof serves as pub and snug. Basic kitchen with just sink, microwave & kettle. At €30 pn for a stand it's expensive but is the only campsite we found in this area.

Bright lighting in the lot. Plenty of parking for regular size vehicles such as my camper van. A little more limited on parking for the giant Sprinters and up.

Walk-ins welcome no need to pre book. If you see a waiting barge go for it don't get stuck in a line that goes nowhere

clear, fresh water. pump working well. wide road, good access.

Great place to spend the night. Signed in at casino reception (they will take your contact and RV details and date you arrive and plan to leave). Large paved, and brightly lit parking Lot in front of the Casino, one end will have "RV parking only" signs. We spent 2 nights in our 39 foot trailer, along with 3 other large RVs, without issues. some noise as there's people that come and go and the occasional train. Washrooms and a restaurant in the Casino.

Nice place with a beautiful stream. Even some cave cambers in the cliff on the other side.

Unfortunately a lot of trash so bring some trashing to clean a little.

very cosy place! it is a garden behind a private house. the shower and toilet is very clean.there's a sink to wash dishes. The owner speaks english, with his nice parents just use Google translater...no problem. the owners are very welcoming and helpfull!! A great place to stay some time and just relax!
