Check-Ins

wonderfull spot !
we spend 2 quiet nights there (next to the "passeo artisanal" with a view on the sea. There was a playground and the beach for our kids.
Very friendly locals amazed by our big rigs

Big parking lot that is gently sloping. A little busy in the afternoon but very quiet at night, well that is until a big diesel class A with hydraulic slides and a generator shows up at 9:30pm, but hey, everyone travels differently and needs a place to stay. Nice town, birthplace of Judy Garland, there is a museum dedicated to her.

chegamos a noite, um pouco antes de fechar
o frentista do turno foi super simpático
local tranquilo para pernoitar, não tem sombra e tem muito pernilongo
não cobraram o banho, porém se fosse cobrado não valeria a pena
situação precária do banheiro (masculino e feminino), ducha fria e a porta do box que tem ducha não tranca
aparentemente estão em reforma mas os banheiros estão lamentáveis
preço da gasolina bom - 5,29$ (09/22)
possui wifi - ler o QR Code com o Google lens

Didn’t use the shower but we found a water fountain in the other building to refill our big water can.

Great place, right next to the police, seems very safe. Spent a calm night here and left the car as well while hiking, no problem at all. Spotty Movistar, good Claro internet cell reception.

Was shooting g for a different site and the road dead ended at this spot. great views great su rises and sunsets, dusty buggy, but very temperate during this heat wave. slept like a baby. flickering verizon barely usable to text. only for overlanding rigs, road isn't so bad but I'm in a lifted 4runner...

Parking in front of the Paulo Freire municipal school

estacionamento tranquilo em frente ao colégio municipal Paulo Freire. Existe um ponto de energia dentro de um quadro de madeira, à esquerda.

Stayed a few nights longer than expected, but the Sinclare was very accommodating.... We did our best to observe the unspoken lotdocking rules and keep a low profile.

Please fellow travelers- be respectful of these businesses that allow overnight parking and don't abuse it! There was a trashy motor home with about three trapped out vehicles, a generator running at all times, and too many dogs that looked like it had been there all summer..... People like that are the reason overnight spots are getting scarcer. Please don't be that guy!!

Huge space to park. All vehicules is possible.

Potable water availble for free. Just put some gas to encourage

From north to south the first 35 km till Pasarela are top today. Drove 50 with big rig. Afterwards a mess. Drove 25 !!! Ripio finishes at the Laguna Nueva.

we spend a quiet and safe night here.... there is a narrow and gravel road going down to the river .... in the first 25 m you will see a pull over/parking for one or two campers depends of the size of your rig. Since the place is a little lower than the road is not noice....you can here the cars just a little.... the altitude is 2400m so a great place to acclimate of you are going to the pass ....

I called Markus as suggested and he wanted 100Q per night for a tent, kind of rude I didn't like the tone he was talking to me, very bad experience I didn't stay

Duchas gratis, amplio lugar para descansar.

It was fine for a night, there was one other van parked there as well. Tons of other pull offs around it that seem equally nice.

NOT POTABLE WATER!

Sign says it must be boiled.

Two huge parking lots with beach access and unofficial old boat lunch. Beach has no sand but few cozy fireplaces, parking lot has lots of space right on the beach, can be pretty windy but beautiful free place for overnight stay in the Campervan

Stayed here last night with some friends. Noticed two signs in the morning: first was "Park closed from 9PM to 6AM", second sign heading to the boat ramp was "No Camping" Perhaps this location should re-evaluated

Very well maintained, clean showers, washing machines, dryers, beautiful nature, lots of campsites

We let our van there for 4 nights for 20 soles. Now the parking is before the location and closed by a locked gate. Park when you arrive at the first house. The ranger who sells the tickets for Choquequirao has the key to open the parking. We went easily inside in reverse because the turn out was too small to go in normally.

Indeed a nice and quiet spot. High enough to get out of the heat, and very quiet and peaceful. Nice reservoir on the way up for day use only, but easy access to the water. There was a deer carcass nearby, and some trash, but other than that a very sweet spot. AT&T service.

Did not stay, drove through to use sani dump. $10.00 for unregistered guests. Additional fee for potable water.

Campground is mainly permanent campers, some old trailers there. Grounds need some loving care and upkeep.

There is another park in town, just down the road Duncan RV (not in the iOverlander system), though I am not sure how the prices compare. Duncan RV charge $15.00 to use the dump station, if unregistered.

There is No overnight camping allowanced ! Please remove from list

Spent 1 night here with a big camper van. No problems. Quiet and calm, next to the beach and next to a couple of cafes where we used the restrooms at breakfast.

Water spigot works fine. Pressure was good, we managed to refill our big van without problems.

We're not in the upper clearing but on the same small loop where there is one other small clearing for one vehicle. Great quiet shaded spot with some Verizon/TMobile coverage at the entrance to the loop. Unfortunately someone has used them to dump about 15 tires between two separate spots. If you have the capacity to haul them out, all would appreciate you tremendously! These forests are for our children and theirs to enjoy folks. Keep em clean and beautiful!

Beautiful Park in the hart of the Sierra Madre Occidental, just an hour and forty five minutes from the Ocean Pacific (Mazatlan) and an hour and fifteen minutes from Durango, with areas for camping, cabins for rent, excellent restaurant that opens saturday and sunday, trails for hiking and mtb, rockclimbing, vía ferrata, zip line, birdwaching and canyoning.
Most activities you can do it on your own or there is the guiding service. The guides and personal that works there are very friendly and always willing to help!
The entrance it’s on the highway 45 , km 114 and the few meters of dirt road are in excellent conditions!
I recomend it widely!!

The dump station has potable water here too.

Funcionários muito educados. Olharam o Camper é só retiveram as laranjas.
