Check-Ins

Great place 👌
At midnight 00:00, the jandarma 🚔 woke me up to check my passport, and asked why i stay here, they probably been thinking that i will take a boat to Europe ...
After few calls they said, it's fine, i can go back to sleep 😴

Water is on in May. Great facility. Thanks Convict Lake!

Very nice sandy beach. You can overnight on concrete surface on the edge of the beach. There is a lagoon where you can spot flamingo's. In this periode the taverna/kantina is open during the weekend. There are a couple of friendly doos. Sometimes they walk with you on the beach. Very quiet during night.

BLM land. level open dirt site, can be windy. This site is big enough for two or three RVs.

We paid +-1200 pesos per night for our small campervan and two people.

24h hot showers (in the bathroom it says only from 8pm to 11am but they were always open and always hot).
Popular overlander spot, you can leave your vehicle (but don't leave any valuables around) and take the bus into town, it stops right in front of the camping entrance and they run very frequent until late, just use Google Maps for public transport.

Not super accomodating personel but it was okay. They did fill up our 20L drinking water bottle for free. Amenities were old but functional. No toilet seats, no toilet paper.

Spend five nights here, felt very safe and chill.

Awesome camp spot! Can get to it with smaller cars just take it slow. Few other people when I was there but very quiet.

Stayrd there for 2 nights, great spot next to the river under the trees, 50 mts from the Mismaloya beach. Quite spot. Busy during the day so you must get there early to find a place to park

Wonderful Place, lonley and peaceful, we can park our Car with Camper directly on the beach. We stay there for six days and there was almost no tourism. You enter from the Highway, after a Gate you drive like 150 meters and than you are directly on the beach. Everything is really clean, toilets are available and shower, when you ask friendly, also electricity to charge your Phones, etc. The price of 150 pesos per night is more than fair. With luck you can see turtles in the night enter to the beach.
And the sixth from five stars, goes to the Manager of this amazing place, he is so kind, try to help you with everything and is Always for Smalltalk and tips and tricks open. WE LOVE YOU VENTURA! Your Honeymoon-Couple <3

City Square with monument to the Ice Age.

This is a small lot that looks like it used to be gravel but tall grass has taken most of it over. It's a beautiful and secluded spot! Watch out for ticks! We also saw a skunk while we were here. Good Verizon reception.

Found a nice spot to tuck into behind the maverick with the big rigs. Dairy Queen on site. Wanted the ice cream but it was already 9 so I passed out.

stay one night without isdues, nice views

Stayed for one night and as members of Anytime went to the gym for a workout, shower and wifi the next morning. Relatively quiet (other than some traffic), and lots of street lights so you feel safe. No ‘no parking signs’ and wasn’t bothered all night.

Free potable water beside the dump station

Bel endroit pour vider les réservoirs et faire le plein d’eau potable. Wifi disponible

Don’t stay here or anywhere near here unless you want to be part of the «Balloon Launching Circus» from as early as 4:30 a.m.
50 Ballons going up on this side of Göreme require a lot of space and you may find yourself hemmed in between launch sites. Then there are all the photo shooting teams for wedding and posing pictures, vintage cars, etc.
To actually see the Balloons in the air, camp at an elevated spot or ridge with the sun in your back or left or right of you.

This was a really cool experience, if fairly tough physically! Around an 8km hike each way from the village to the canyon, with lots of topography, after a 3km drive along the track (which takes you through an unnerving river crossing!). Towards the end of the hike is a steepish ascent and then a long, steep descent of 40 mins or so - ropes available to help with the steeper sections. Ideally you'd hike in on one day, camp overnight and then hike out again the following day. There's a camping option maybe two thirds of the way in (before the steep section), with a tin-roofed shelter, or in the dry season you can camp at the base of the canyon next to the river, which would be a pretty cool experience. Camping equipment I believe can be hired in the village.

Once at the canyon, if water levels aren't too high, you can rappel down to the river below - in our case that meant directly into the river! - and explore the canyon floor/get some great photos of the arch; to get back up you use a kind of foot pulley system - I'm sure it has a technical name! - which involves ratcheting yourself up a rope with your weight on one foot, then straightening your leg until you're upright, using your hand to lift the rope further up, and repeating till you reach the top, some 30-odd metres I think - about the most tiring thing I've ever done, though probably because I never really seemed to master the technique!

A guide (I'd hesitate to go without one, partly to be sure of finding the way, partly for the remoteness of the region - no phone signal, and we found a coral snake almost as soon as we started hiking; lots of fer-de-lances/nauyacas around too apparently) costs $250 for the group, rappelling an extra $600 per person, and there's a $54pp entry fee on top. I think they said camping would be an extra $250, I can't remember if that was pp or per tent. I'm not sure I'd bother doing it without the rappel honestly, your view of the arch is a bit limited till you're down at the bottom. For reference the tours from San Cris started at $3000pp.

If water levels are too high they won't let you rappel down, and I imagine the path becomes super muddy too; we visited in the first week of the rainy season and it was already a little touch and go. The guide said they tend not to allow people in at all July through September, but it's weather-dependent. Recommend decent footwear - I opted for hiking boots rather than trainers and was glad I did, it was muddy - and rain/sun protection, adequate food and water for the distance - and something suitable to wear for the rappel; I did it in a bikini as we were going straight into water and a) felt pretty exposed, and b) the harness bit into my groin something horrible on the tortuous way back up, still sore weeks later! Footwear you can wear both for the rappel and once at the bottom, that you don't mind getting wet, would be good too; barefoot wasn't ideal.

They had no problems with us overnighting in the village the night before and after, there was a flattish spot big enough for a medium sized rjg - probably just the one though. There are pretty cabañas available too, and I suspect they'd be fine with you sticking a tent up. Toilets available by the cabañas and a tiny shop selling snacks; no showers that I saw (we really needed one by the end too!). No phone service till you're back down on the main road but you can buy WiFi from the shop fairly cheaply.

We are the ‚other overlanding truck‘ that nickianddave are mentioning (see below) … and we fully and wholeheartedly support their comments!
Goody Villas was our first and by far the best camp (out of six) we have been to in MOZ! We stayed for six nights … and with hindsight, we should have stayed even longer!
Highly recommended!
We paid Mt 1000 for two adults/night … which we find is very attractive.

Stayed one night memorial day weekend, quite busy. Drove all the way to the end of the road and had to turn around which was not easy, private land after that. Ended up just pulling off and pitching near a turn off. Lots of groups, mostly younger folks.
4x4 high clearance strongly recommend, passed two drivers (outback and another sedan) who wanted to turn around because they didn't want to try some of the tougher spots.

One of four permitted campsites in High Rock Canyon, this is the northernmost one. This is also the site of the High Rock Garage, which can provide some shelter in a storm. Possible to hike west along Yellow Rock Canyon following a closed off road.

Garage was a nice respite from a late afternoon thunderstorm. The road is pretty rough both ways into this spot.

Parked in the normal parking lot, and didn't have anyone bother me. Was pretty busy until the place closed, so it wasn't the quietest spot. Casino restrooms were great.

Very clean restrooms and plenty of Picnic tables.Plenty of parking spots available.We spent the night here without any issues.Well led at night.A bit noisy from the highway behind.Great T-mobile lte reception and internet.

Excellent site 12 km off to east of hwy, dirt road but totally fine for any vehicle. 12 sites plus tent, lake gorgeous. A little buggy but calmed down once settled. Two nights here 1st one other there second just us. Highly recommend but get there early in season as heard sites fill up rapidly.

No longer provides propane filling. only have exchange tanks. Drove around Squamish for 1.5 hours to find no propane filing stations in weekend.

Our front yard is suitable for big rigs or even 3 normal rv's.
We are overlanders our selves, so overlanders are welcome for a stopover

$8 a night, paying in cash in an envelope. in the open air so can get very windy, but with a nice mountain and lake view. Potable water, picnic tables, and toilets available. lots of big RVs but we with our tent weren't the only ones. hard to get the hearings in the soil though. stayed here one night driving from Yosemite to Death Valley, would recommend.

Lugar súper tranquilo, seguro y plano para la casa rodante. Frente al edificio DIAN
Place sure, silent, In front of DIAN

Historic downtown Breakfast joint with ample free 2 hour parking behind the building or paid parking visibly across the street. Large menu of omelettes and seriously good coffee. Very busy by 10am.

Spent two nights here. End of a dead end street. Lots of space and very quiet.

it's a really nice resting place near the rocks with shadow during the day.
