Check-Ins

Up the hill. Not accessible with big caravan without 4x4 system.
The locals turned a barren hill into a beautiful, lush village green. Visitors are very welcome. Only a few minutes by car from Harran.

Absolutely no sign of no overnight, signs are only saying:no semi-trailer in some areas

Nice inexpensive campground….shaded, spaced sites. All as others have posted. No signage to locate campground. Our picnic table is very well used and only available for seating on one side, no big deal. Pretty good AT&T service. We have National Park pass for seniors (old folks) so it’s only $5 per night.
Be warned…ticks are thick in this area.

nothing here today tuesday at 11 a.m.
maybe cause there are some police men along this road

About 1 mile north of I40 just west of Belemont, AZ. Nice, Huge area. There are tons of areas to set up. Some in the forest and some out in the open. Checked the satellite mapping and I chose an open area for my solar. Whole area is flat with a dirt access road that should not be an issue for any size rig. The road in some areas had some ruts and looks like it could get challenging if it rained or snowed, but I think it was in very good shape. No services. Free. 14 day stay max. OTA TV is getting in 10 channels. VZW is clocking in at 26 mbps down/4 up. ATT is 25 mbps down/ 2.5 up.

Nice spot. Saw about 6 or 7 others but we are all extremely spread out and most were in the forest. I can't see anyone. Perfect! I'm at ~7,200 ft amsl

Great spot, room for many vehicles and lots of dirt roads in several directions. There's one large central area about 100m in that you could fit 25 vans all around a large central fire pit. Also more secluded spots of that's preferred. We were the only ones here.
Some trails bumper than others. We drove in quite easily with 2wd Promaster van on a dry evening - would have been trickier if it was a wet day (muddy and rutted trails), but we could have just stayed near the entrance if this was the case. 1-2 bars spotty Telus service. Very small amount of highway noise. Overall a fantastic spot.

Free primitive camping near lake 13. There are pit toilets and trash cans and minimal shade. Real beautiful area for bird watching and fishing.

Passing note on the site - there some trash around the area that we noticed in the morning. We spent 5 minutes doing pickup and filled two garbage bags. Please bring garbage bags and leave this site nicer than you found it in order to keep it free and enjoyable for all :)

Nice spot to be. It’s loud and busy during the day, at around 8 is quiets down, I was here on a Monday. There are bathrooms but they are locked at a certain time. A few port-a-potties in the parking lot. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. I asked the woman at the visitor Center about overnight parking and she said it wasn’t a problem.

They also have fantastic lemonade at the place.

I called ahead and was told overnight is available. Close to main road but traffic isn't too bad. Lots of stores, shops and businesses of all sorts.

Closed with gate from sunset to sunrise...Spout recommended from local! normal sized hookup but turned off for the winter season. check back in summer!

water is still on as of today. large rigs are not allowed in the lower lot where the spigot is located.

Arrived at 9pm, quiet, flat. We parked in front of a field at the end of the parking lot. Close to interstate 40

The other very close by place is the northbound rest area. Likely the same typical Interstate rest stop amenities both sides.

Here, the restrooms are pretty clean. All traffic shares a common parking lot, so lots of truck noise as they come and go. But - hey - it's Rest Stop!

Stayed for 1 night with another Sprinter. You can get Starbucks wifi at the end of the parking lot.

Just stopped here to dump. It was a shocking $20 for dump and refill, but easy enough

We booked a tour with Fun2Dive to swim with the Manatees. We asked them if we could overnight in their parking lot and they directed us to a spot on the lawn under a tree. We had a very quiet and restful night.

We heard the story from Mike and Shannon when we met them in 2017 and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit Ducati since we were passing through Nicaragua. Being the end of the rainy season Ducati’s resting place is well under water however we found him and added a few rocks…

Speed trap! South end of SONOYTA .As you are heading north into town on the main highway. The speed limit suddenly drops to 40 km. There are cops there with a radar gun. They tried to fine us 4800 pesos ($240 U.S.)! We firmly said no way were we paying that much and ended up bargaining down to $80 U.S.

As described, dirt road out was a little wash boarded, but it was totally fine. I had crazy high winds that rocked my car at night, and got woken up by some fighter jets doing training or something directly over my head. But good place for a night.

A really great car camping spot. No signs, lots of space, very little light, no bothers. Residential but very quiet. It’s a popular morning walking / running route though so use blinds/window covers if you have them since there is some light morning foot traffic.

Note once it snows, these camp site are not maintained. Luckily till mid November, it’s a great spot, 15 minutes from McCall. Don’t get discouraged if this spot is occupied, keep driving plenty more secluded camp spots

Water spigots labeled unsafe to drink- do not use for water fill

Gas Station safe and clean. Usefull to spend one night after visit the falls of the region.

Closed for season. Looks like nice facilities.

Got my tanks refilled there. They had great rates but be sure your tanks are empty. They charge by the tank size not by the amount of propane actually given. Flat rate of $15 for a 20lb tank.

There was plenty of space for our big rig and a few others.

Stayed last night. Was the only person here. No problems. Very quiet. 4 bars Verizon! No bars on Tmobile
