Check-Ins

Endroit super calme mais avec beaucoup de moustiques. Chaque emplacement a une table, des bancs, un bbq.
Des chevaux sont tranquilles dans la propriété.

Spent 2 nights by Holloman / Raptor Lake. 1st night stayed pretty close to the entrance as we arrived after sunset and it was dark. 2nd night felt emboldened to travel further down the gravel path because we walked it during the day. Several beautiful spots to stay with other rigs around. Also saw one of the most beautiful sunsets here. A great option so close to White Sands. A gentleman from the base did stop by, however, midday. Did not ask us to move but warned there were a lot of snakes around AND to avoid the water at all costs (I.e. especially for the dog) as it’s evap / runoff / sewage from the base. Be safe and enjoy!

Grate place to have fresh vegetable and meat, nice, clean and good pric

Stayed here 1 night. 15,000pp for 24hours entry. Very windy but there are some spots against the hill on the left before you get to the top parking lot that were more sheltered for us. A few other campers and van people staying as well. Beautiful sunset & even got some snow in the morning!

Stayed here for a night with a few others as well. Quiet night.

Great stop for RVs. Just check in with security and they’ll give you a permit. Park in the back lot that says “No Rvs”. After you get a permit, stop by the Membership desk and sign up for their free new member card. $20 food credit and $30 gambling credit for free.

fairly level, fuse of the water, decent cell coverage for Verizon, close enough to town, definitely go down the hill and walk along the shore. the train does come by but not a big deal. there is some traffic but that dies off after dark. I shared it with two other people.

there's a sign in this turnout that says no parking snow route. so I would imagine that probably gets removed once the season starts but as of April 28th you can't park here.

possible to stay up to 2 day's free, this is one of two official free motorhome areas (no service), off-season park entrance is free,

Second time staying here after or before a border crossing. $600 MXN total for 2 people in a truck camper. It’s a nice spot if you like hot springs, and not much more $ than we’ve paid for a campground in San Felipe. Just be sure to time your stay with high tide.

There seems to be a recently finished trail to the wreck, I'm not sure if it's okay to use it for free as the campsite want to charge $30 for a guide to visit.

We walked along the beach and coastal rocks to reach the shipwreck, the last section we had to use the trail as there was no other way. It's worth the journey - we didn't pay anything

Stayed here one night, no problems at all. Few other trucks/boats with full camp set up. Next day we came back. We were the only ones and the DNR came by checked our plates and license. Said we could camp but then 2 hours later the sheriff came by and said camping wasn’t allowed. So we went to the rest stop.

You will pay the visa when exiting Jordan ;)

Jordan to Israel with a MAN truck camper on a Sunday - start at 11:30, lasted 4 hours (we think it went quick because few people and no commercial trucks)
All very friendly people on both sides and well organized (always people available to explain kindly the next step).
Jordan - need to pay 10 jod pp (including children). And visa we were not asked at the Aqaba boarder… (40 jod pp). The tax for the truck also is 25 jod.
We had to open three times our home :)

Entry in israel : nothing to pay but insurance or the truck which we could pay in US dollars
129 for three days !!!!!!!!!!! No choice. Do not know if same price for one full week.
Scan of our hand luggage for us
and the vehicle went to special x ray for trucks and was checked. But not so intensively as written for other people on iOverlander. For example did not need to remove all our stuff.

Military Checkpoint for Nationalpark permit.
Can be bought on spot, no need in advance in Pohkara/Kathmandu.

Same rates as everywhere.
3000r for foreigners.

FYI: the road to Dhorpatan is bad. 2-wheeler or enough ground clearance is a must. If it's dry than 2WD with ground clearance might be possible. But 4WD recommended. Occasional puddles and water crossings (only one big, rest is short ones). Very bumpy with lots of small/medium gravel and often big stones in the dirt, also quite dusty, which makes traction sometimes fussy.

Water still turned off on this day. water bottle fill still available but too slow for larger jugs.

400 a litre, no dramas at all. Super friendly guys who invited us to stay for lunch ahah

We had an ok stay. Lovely family, by all means but the parking lot is a mess of organic waste and cow dung, so had biting flies by day and loads of mosquitos at night. No shower or toilet to be had. Tough stay with 40 degrees but yeah, better than a military point layover. There's a nice clearing before the property, right on the river, that was cleaner and probably would've had fewer insects. Anyway, it is what it is. Again, nice people...because Iraqis are generally lovely !

As described, amazing hotel. I got a room through booking.com for $9.60. It's definitely a great value since the quality of the room is not what you normally get for $10 in Ecuador.
One thing that's not mentioned by other reviewers is that there is a big kitchen and you can cook if you want.

A random hostel but interesting for motorcycle travellers, we put our bikes in front of the hostel and it was very safe, also possible to put your bike in the garden of the hostel for the night if you prefer. Dorm was 14euros per person. Draft beer 100TL. Well located to visit historic center walking.

Nice place that was filling up on a Sunday evening… many pull throughs

Very close to the NP. Lots of space for rigs of all sizes.

Relatively new Love’s. Clean bathrooms and showers. McDonald’s and dog park onsite too.

beautiful camp on the river with amazing ablution block. Hot water 24/7. construction of restaurant and bar in progress. expected to finish july 2024. then you will have a stunning view over the river. on the camp you have your on lapa with water /sink, braai pit and picknick table, shade. camp is in the park so there will be wild life. When we were there, there was Hyena and an elephant, and soms blue ververt monkeys (they don't come close). the excellent staff brings you fire wood and puts on the fire in the night and early morning. Ishmael, who runs the camp, is a great host who goes all the way for you. ask him about a boatride or a if you are lucky, a dip between the rocks, near the rapids. please note camp is closed during rainy season. open approximatelt end of april until end of october.

One of the best place along the coast. André is very kind and interesting, we loved the time we spent there. Food is also delicious and not expensive.

Great location, 5 minute walk to the centro. The place where we parked was on the side of the building right on the road, so there was some traffic noise. Super beautiful gardens and very nice family. We had a key and could go into their home to use the washroom and shower.

You can get your insurance here for both countries. The lady will first calculate the costs.

decent spot, lots of people driving by but good att service and a fire ring

When you entering El Salvador, there’s a few countries that have to pay for an immigration entrance card. As brazilians we had to pay $12 each

Pasamos 3 noches acá! Lugar seguro y tranquilo por la noche. A la mañana estacionan autos y hay un poco de ruido. Los playeros son muy amables. Hay duchas, tienen un valor de $1000 y se puede utilizar hasta las 22 hs. Las llaves se piden en la Full. También se puede cargar potable en la playa de GNC. Lo recomendamos!
