Terpel Gas Station | Informal Campsite

Staff were super cool. I asked if we could park in the grass area, el jefe said Yes. We even got to use the banos. Ask for key. Easy 10 minute walk to Yaviza. Recommend parking here since town is not for big vehicles & no where to turn around. Walking is best. Very friendly people in town.

They didn’t allowed us to camp in their property, we ended up camping right next to Terpel in front of an unused building. We spoke with the military Senafront guys and they patrolled the area all night long. Quite and safe spot.

This is the last (or the first ) gas station in the Panamericana Road. Very small but it has a grassy area in the back and you can ask employee to sleep/ parking there. I was there just for an hour , walk down to the bridge , take some pictures. Staff were very friendly.

Wierd place. We didn't stay. Even with a big rig it's possible to drive on past here into the town; there is parking and a turn-around place a bit further on, but few overlanding vehicles would be small enough to go all the way through the high street to the very end of the road. Best go on foot.

We asked nicely if we could camp here for the night and they said ok as long as we left early. They asked us to park on the gravel which is pretty level. The small town has a few tiendas, everything is within walking distance.

This is as far as you can drive if you have a big rig. We made it inside with our F-250 and Palomino pop up camper but it was very stressful as the streets are too narrow. We hit the corner of our camper with a cinder block roof.. Don't risk it. You can walk from here to the hanging bridge
