Park has been closed for about a month now for safety reason. Lots of seismic activity. No idea when they open. Park ranger was not that happy that we spent a night here.

We spent a quiet and cold night here. Police drove by twice but said nothing. It is important to enter the park early as the crater was clouded at 9.30!

We stayed at the "Service" road next to the entrance. Very quiet and not windy because we were protected by the trees. We were Lucky with the view of the volcano although it was 2:00 pm and rainy Season. The clouds were around the Peak but the crater was clear. I would Check at the entrance and ask the rangers if the view is clear or not. Entrance is really expensive 15$ pp + 3$ for the vehicle. But we found it was worth it.

The access road to the volcano is closed from 3.30pm - 8am. We pulled out to the forest road in front of the entrance gate, and parked on the side about 20 meters further down the road (behind the sign, which prohibits trespassing). Very quiet at night. Clean toilets can be used in the park the next morning. Admission to nationalpark: US $ 10 / person plus US $ 3 / vehicle.$

Alternative option:

Recreation area Bosques de Fraijanes, N 10.12394 W 84.18823, 1,703 m, 9,000 colones (14,00 €). Very nice recreational park. We still moved on since the announced WIFI did not work and the toilets were extremely dirty.
