jmhartlin | Still open but I would be surprised if it’s not closed soon… since the washrooms are closed people have decided to use the bathroom on the cobblestone outside of the washroom house. I think it should go without saying that you shouldn’t do this here or anywhere… great spot otherwise. |

franklunenburg | Absolutely breathtaking! We stayed here on a Monday night and we were the only ones camping. The rest of the visitors left right after sunset. In the morning the "guard" arrived and told we had to pay a fine. We gave him a beer and sent him on his way. |

franklunenburg | Nice place! We stayed here (2021-11-6) because we did the night tour, which is also highly recommended. There is actually a hot shower here! The rest of the facilities are also very nice and clean. We pitched our tent under the roof to escape the rain. |

franklunenburg | Great views and good food. We stayed here on 2021-11-05 for one night. Santa Elena is a bit far away, but they have all the right facilities. We set up at the top of the property and had good view of a sunset. The food in their restaurant is great. |

Nick Ball | Great cliff front views of the ocean and fun to watch the parasailers as the winds pick up. The sign does say no overnight camping, but after talking to several people parked here it’s apparently not enforced. There were probably close to 15-20 other vehicles, at least, camped out. It’s busy during the day but very quiet at night. I will absolutely stay here again. |

sweetjo725 | Massive gravel plateau above the truck stop. Fabulous sunset, cooling breeze, peaceful, no highway noise. Only 3 other vehicles nearby by. And by near I mean @100 yards away. This is a massive space. So much better than the sketchy ‘down by the river’ spot to the west. I came back here and I’m relieved. |

molinandrea55 | First crossing. Mostly fine but it can be very bad if it’s raining a lot. We biked across it and it was pretty shallow, local truckers told us sometimes it takes them 45-1hr to get across depending on the water level. |

danielli.marzouca | Have parked here once before and returned again tonight. It’s nice because you’re not parked in front of someone’s house. People walk their dogs in the morning and I’ve had friendly curiosity with my van. :) |

donna.steensma | It closes at 10. There are signs that say no overnight, but if move a little towards Walmart there are no signs. We saw security. There are lots of closed stores in the shopping centre, no homeless people, and lots of lights. There is a train nearby. |

nstroebitzer | Once one of the coolest backpackers in africa, i would not recommend staying there any more now. Has new owners. Booked a tented room and when we first removed the blankets lots of insects including 3 big spiders left our bed. Also bedsheets seemed to be not washed in a long time. That also explained why there were basically no other bookings too. |

Caramujito_Pantaneiro | 100 metros após o pedágio, sentido sul. Chuleta muito boa, com farofa, arroz, feijão e polenta ou batata. Preço muito bom e serve dois: R$ 35,00. Tem buffet a quilo também mas chegamos às 13:30 e não estava atrativo |

instagram.com/thriftayy | A dream for van lifers! The beach parking lot is open from 4AM - 10PM with showers and toilets. We parked at the beach during the day and then drove over to a nearby street and parked for the 6 hours it was closed. In the morning we had an awesome front row parking spot where we slept a few more hours with the windows open and gorgeous views of the beach. Great area for walking the dog and nearby restaurants. |

lee.myrah | Yes, as others have said, generator noise. Other than that, a nice place for a night on the Pacific Coast Highway. According to the ranger the showers are open only when the place is busy - so, high season. Closed now. NPR at 91.5 |

maptheunknown | We had a problem with our breaks in the middle of the jungle with no signal on our way back from “sótano de las golondrinas” and a local did us the favor to send us a mechanic from Aquismón. Lauro and Alberto not only came to pick us up but also fixed our break pump and break pads, went to Ciudad Valles and were able to find the parts with a discount and did all the service for a very reasonable price. Plus!! When they saw we’ll spend the night in a street parking, they asked a friend of them to let us park in her property. Forever thankful for all their work and help!! |

Baja Surf Yoga | It’s hit or miss here in the sketch factor. Today we were waved through after a friendly conversation about “why do Americans like dogs so much”. There was only one guy on duty. My hypothesis is that the long searches come when the rest of the crew isn’t out on patrol. Smile and be friendly. Try some Spanish. They’re people too and live a hard and dangerous life out here working for the MX government. |

instagram.com/lookaleick | As described. Very foggy as I drove in. Next to a little stream. At maybe 11pm, some dumbass pulled up right next to me in his truck and peeled out. Otherwise a nice and relatively quiet place to sleep near the highway |
