As described - nothing really to add. We had arranged a 2-day Tortugero tour with Dixon and there was a guy welcoming us at the parking lot and explaining the schedule. Quite well organized!
Oh - and we saw a ton of fireflies on the grassy field area during the evening.

If parking in the back of this large place where there is a sign „4x4 parking only“, it is very quiet. Price 6000 if staying overnight. When we were here the restaurant had electricity from a generator (not sure if this is a temporary or permanent solution), hence they switched the power off at around 4:30 pm thus also turning off the wifi. Wifi is free, no password required. The bathrooms are accessible all night long. There is also a night guard on duty.

Parkeer je auto op de parkeerplaats voor de nacht. Je kan de volgende dag het park bezoeken.

Parking lot where everyone wanting to go to Tortuguero leave its car. 6000 colones per 24 hour.
Very quite at night until 5 am until people come for the first boat.
Free wifi at the restaurant 24/24 (weak)
Felt safe . We spent 2 nights there and left the camper the whole day without any problem.

We parked our car here for 10 weeks while working in the national park. They charged $1 a day for the entire time and looked after the van well. Not sure what the rate is for a shorter stay however. They also let you camp in your car for free if you arrive too late to get the boat into Tortuguero. Toilet is 500 colones. Wifi also 500 but too slow to even use so I wouldn't bother. Really nice owner

it's possible to spend the night here, the guard said it's no problem. huge parking lot, with lots of space to find a dark, quiet spot. safe and quiet at night, but traffic early in the morning. The restaurant offers toilets and Wi-Fi, but you have to pay for, and both shut down at night.

Parking lot where the boat leaves to the "Tortuguero National Park", $10/night, watchman, we didn't sleep there because we didn't know if its possible but we ask the guard, driving from Guápiles to "La Pavona" takes you around 1h 30min
