Check-Ins

On a passé un super moment au ranch !!!
On a passé 3 nuits la bas , les enfants étaient aux anges ... des bébés cochons, aux moutons, aux adorables briquettes , aux poules, aux coqs, ils ont participé à leur manière aux tâches du ranch. Nelly et felipe, sont des amours ! On s est senti tellement bien.!

Just another water dispenser. Still $12 for 20 liters.

Manuel es una excelente persona, le gusta compartir sus culturas con los viajeros y muy bien anfitrión, también pertenece al grupo de Volkswagen Homies Mafia de Oaxaca

nice quiet spot. narrow dirt road is a little bumpy but ok for a class b. probably not if it's raining hard. pit toilet is locked

Thanks to the municipality, I spent a night at this place calmly, at Riverside, zero noise, was the only one there, as other friends already mentioned; there is toilet, benches, bins, and a welcome sign that authorises overnight parking ans asks to keep the space clean.
FYI, if you need to take a shower, there is beautiful "manoir des sapins" in 23 minutes.
Enjoy your adventure!

I spent another night here.
just to let you know average internet speed is 5Mbs download 0.5 MBs upload.
However there was some disconnection times during the morning, probably due to rain. (which was annoying)

Update: It was so pretty I came back, this time mid-week, and camped up top. It was just fine.

I am sooo glad I stopped here. I leveled myself and got settled but, surrounded by trees I wondered if there were more “epic” views farther up the road. I took a walk.

Yes, definitely, but the vibe was weird, people! Trash, clothing, tons of tp, and then guys cursing, guns shooting, columns of smoke and noisy vehicles.

The rock formations are incredible and worth seeing FOR SURE. It also sounds like there are long views but it’s cloudy today, so no purple mountain majesty* for me.

Anyway, when I walked back down to my vehicle everything felt palpably more peaceful. This is despite being in a hairpin of the road, which is never ideal. These evergreen trees feel like a warm welcome. It’s good to be home.

* Did you know that line was inspired by Pikes Peak?

P.S. Sun is coming out and Epic is right across the road (even my dog thinks so)!

No overnight camping sign on site. Sad as its a pretty nice spot

free dump station right off Hwy 21, multiple bays

Great area with tons of spots! Can park between trees and near the creek. Definitely can get busy with dirt bikers and such but was quiet at end of October. No facilities but dump station, stores, gas station, restrooms at visitor center nearby.

OK, not much overnight locations to choose from. Bathrooms are in a very run down state. For one night you are behind the fence in the backyard for 450 pesos.

We spent 2 nights on Mark and Lorraine their nice located campground. They just arrived from Canada after a 16 month covid break. Some maintenance needs to be done before it's back to the state it was in before. We had a quiet 2 nights. All necessary electricity and bathrooms are still in good health.

This place is in wrong location - it is located at 36.74796, -119.05480

small little site just off the highway on an old abandoned road with an abandoned bridge. the view is spectacular, the highway is slightly close so every once in awhile you could hear a transfer truck. but if you're in a car or an RV of some sort the noise won't bother you at all. tent campers MIGHT have more difficulty there just for the noise. But the view truly makes up for any type of noise

Nice place bit tight. Designed for RVs but I did it with a popup tent. Might be challenging for ground tent. Got spot near creek which was nice. Showed up at 11am and only 2 open sites, first come first served. All sites have water, power, table, and pedestal bbq but most don’t have fire ring. So sad but no fire for me. Weird kiosk payment machine only lets you reserve at 12:05pm, so sat around for an hour until I could register. You can reserve multiple days but if you don’t then you have to hang around until 12:05 to extend. Wish they would move to a QR type system. Host was very nice. 1 or 2 bars 5G AT&T.

Still $5 a night up to 14 nights. We took spot 14 using the recreation.gov app close by the exceptionally clean pit toilets and trash cans. Wooded leveled sites with fire rings and picnic tables. You can hear occasional cars on Brick House road but not many and no big deal. Strong Verizon signal. Highly recommended.

As described. I was going to go back to José's Cabañas like earlier in July but too many mosquitoes and this one looked closer to the beach, I first decided to check out the free spot just before this place. Although you can camp pretty much anywhere on the beach if you access with a 4WD, I decided to come here to see the caïmans and support the local business and get some shade.
I paid 100 pesos for one night. Indeed a big rig won't fit to the beach. You have to fit under an electric cord that can be pushed up about 350cm high. Width is also a concern if you want to get to the beach, ball park 210cm max.
My VW van fit like a glove.
Angela ( always smiling) and Benjamin are really friendly, animal lovers. They have a couple pug dogs, Rocco the black one is only 5 months old and a cutie.
They showed me around and left me alone.
Clear showers and toilets.
Highly recommended! 🤙

Throughly enjoyed the quiet overnight stay. Spectacular views including sunrise and sunset. As OP said, it’s the only place in the area for many miles.

Water fill behind gas station by diesel pumps

still open Nov 1. clean and easy to access.

closed for season when we went buy in Nov.

Great Restaurant with very good traditional Food. We recommend the Pibil, very tasty. Nice Ambience and friendly staff.

Great campground! Lots of space between sites, old school game room, and really great staff. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Free parking, no facilitys, but 10 min walk to the cathedrale St. Peter

Comfortable, secure and friendly stop over in Embu. Clean room with hot shower and toilet. Meals available. KSh1500 for room for 2. Safe parking. Ph 0715796622

Simple camping, clean, offering what is needed. Flat surface with small gravel. Nice owners. Restaurant closed on Mondays.

Estacionamento ao lado da igreja, super tranquilo, bastante árvores grandes, bastante sombra, dormirmos em 5 MHs

Quiet Beach to camp at in November. Some small shacks on the beach but no one around. Bathroom and water tap at the entrance. Might be busy in high season. Nice view along the shore, other than the island petrol station.

No large RV spots. I asked permission and the manager said as long as I park in the back it would be fine, but I must leave first thing in the morning. Beside a large mall with many stores and places to eat. Noisy until midnight with vehicles passing through. Okay for a quick overnight stop
