This is the new location for registration for the free ferry to Jazan.

Only for cars no big rig. Impossible to reach

Only 4x4 with gearbox, very broken road. Dead end road, very quiet at night, day hikers. spectacular views.

Bought a new battery here, helpful and reasonable.

Camped here for 750DLA per person, included breakfast and use of the shower/bathrooms in an unoccupied room. Lovely location and friendly owners.

Cool place right on beach. Camping is under palapa in restaurant car park. Access to toilets and showers. Way too many sand flies to be enjoyable unfortunately.

Amazing place to fill your water tank, with drinking water provided by water company. Nozzle like fuel station, very high pressure.

If you still require a PCR test for the borders try here. USh 160,000 for a PCR test with results in 24 hours. it may have changed price so worth calling first. 0704 215428. fast and efficient with easy parking outside Cash only though.

We stayed the night at the Kittery Trading post (there were other vans and campers parked there & it was dark) and came here in the morning for the sunrise. Absolutely beautiful spot. You can drive right right up to the waters edge and pop the trunk.

Very good place to stay everything still the same as others mentioned before. We been here with a big rig. (8mx2.5x3.5m) was no big challenge to enter. But you have to drive carefully (there's a balcony right in the corner uphil)

Close to the Skeleton Coast park. We chose the C39 Wildcamp spot right before.

Beautiful spot in the middle of nowhere. When parked close to the hill, you’re out of the wind. Sunset on the hill is super nice. Rhino coming when we were in our tent. Great spot!

As of April 9, Bolivia has lifted most of the corona restrictions, so this place is open again as described for 3 to max. 4 vehicles.

Smooth gravel road, pretty big gravel horseshoe pullout. Arrived on a beautiful spring day on a Sat. @ 5pm. A few trucks drove by but no issues. Sire was not near a creek. Basic boondocking in the NF.
3-4 bars of Verizon.

Al-Qessar Village is the ruins of the oldest settlement in the island. It is partly restored and worth to have a look.

Wifi available for people from abroad. You are more than welcome, and if needed we can resolve your cell phone enquiry's. We can activate your simcard, load airtime and if needed sell you a phone. For travelers we are willing to assist when needed. You are welcome.

We came over from UAE (port sharjah - Bandar Abbas) the expensive ferry (Hormuz) was still out of order. So we shipped the truck with White Tern and our self with Valfajr speed catamaran.
The process in sharjah :

1. Called Mr Taqi Zadeh (White Tern) to get quote for the truck, shipping and date.
The shipping is nearly every day (takes approx 16h)
He forwarded us to Mr. Osman a very friendly young guy who organised the shipping.

2. Get a ticket for the personel speed ferry at the Al Hili office (take care here the fixers will be informed about your shipment)
Shipping times Tuesday and Friday (boarding at 7-8am, lift off at ~10am duration ~6h)

3. Make sure that Mr. Taqi Zadeh or Osman will keep you updated and send pictures

4. Don't leave anything in the driver's cabin! They even took our old hand cloves.

5. We brought the truck to the main gate where Mr. Osman met us. He drove it on board because we had to leave for the speed ferry

6. In Bandar Abbas!
Now the story begins. It's a long fight with criminal local workers. They all stuck together with the "Fixers" as a kind of Mafia. Never gone thru such a cheating and bad treatment than here.

Our very good Iranian friend helped us to get thru this nerv wrecking process and was multiple time asked how much he charged us for his help. They replied that they only hand out the car when we use the help of one of the criminal fixers.
We told everything to the "Boss" of the harbour. He asked for names.
Together we will try to stop this cheating and unnecessary crime.

Whatsoever, after 5 hours we got the truck.

Costs:

Truck ferry 1600DHS
Personel ferry 1100 DHS
Port day pass UAE 40DHS/p

White Tern - ferry handling and insurance
21.000.000 IRR
Harbour fee 4.000.000 IRR
~1.000.000 IRR for copying the papers.

BTW : if you stuck in trouble there, go to the chief officer of Harbour. You will find him in the main office (big sitting group in the middle). Enter-turn right- first big office on the left.

The water spigot now has a lock but we got by filling two 7 gallon jugs on the foot wash of the showers.Took about five minutes or so. Cute little spot otherwise! Quiet on a Sunday morning. Trash and recycling as a plus!

As described, beautiful place run by a very hospital family. They let you camp right next to the beach bar.

Safe, almost level street parking. Signs say 2 hours between the hours of 8am to 5pm. I parked here all night without issue. Good for vans and small rVs.

Local familiar, tem tudo para seu Dayse e camping, e além de atender motorhomes. Top

No updates here in a while so just checking in to reassure potential guests it is still here and as described in other posts. Great kitchen, great wifi, restaurant next door gives discounts to guests and is a nice Italian style pizzeria (unlike the gross comida rápida pizza you find all over Colombia). Secure parking for motorcycles.
Only complaint is there are not enough bathrooms when they are at capacity. On a weekend there could be up to 30ish guests here sharing 2 hot showers. Mostly backpackers here but not a party place. If you're chill about it and not throwing parties they don't enforce the "no outside alcohol" rule

Two nights of peaceful sleep. Great location on this side of Savannah. They do have a security car that moves around. Woke up this morning to it parked right next to me. Definitely be stealth.

820am, southbound. There were a few cop cars and officers. waved all of us through. see photo.

This location is labeled closed but it's open, I'm sitting in the parking lot now. It's very nice here. It's not only a public boat ramp but there is a little public park w/ pavilions, swing set for the kids, and bathrooms. The parking lot is level and there is some road noise from the local highway but I bet at night it's quiet, as other users have mentioned. I'm not spending the night but I don't see any signs restricting overnight parking.

Simple but clean and cheap guesthouse. 10000 Ugx for a double room with mosquito net.Not self contained. Toilet and bathing room (jerrican) outside.Bicycles fit in the room.
