Check-Ins

Not at all as previously reviewed and we were very disappointed. Warm welcome but that is all. Nothing to recommend about this place and we are pretty hardy campers. The ablutions are awful. Paid $10pp.

A good spot for an overnight. There was fresh snow but the road was firm enough for me to get there in my FWD Promaster. No Verizon signal

A perfect place to overnight for free, we stayed for one night one day after the Luz y Vida parade because we arrived at 1 am in the morning. Perfect location because we were only two blocks walking distance from downtown and from the lake, and there were no houses in front but a grassy private lot in front. There is a small grocery store to run some errands. This street is very quiet, and looked safe.

Its not a 5 star, but i think the best can find in this town.
Payed 1500 INR for a room, car can be parked in front of hotel, nice food in the restaurant. Friendly owner

Still a great place. Some fishermen came by and were very friendly. We found three palm trees which were perfect for our hammocks. Flat area for cars/ vans/ tents.

We spend the night before crossing the border. We spoke to the owner and he was very friendly.

We also load fuel, they only accept cash since there is no signal or Internet in the area.
.
Pasamos la noche antes de cruzar la frontera. Hablamos con el dueño y fue muy amable.

Tambien cargamos combustible, solo aceptan efectivo ya que no hay señal ni Internet en la zona.

Picnic area right on the highway. Zero privacy but was left alone all night. Left by 6 am. I wouldn't stay here again but it worked in a pinch.

Dormimos 1 noite e foi bem tranquilo, ninguém nos incomodou, tranquilo e seguro

Parque público, no centro da cidade. Local agradável, arborizado, com vários banheiros com chuveiro. Tem energia e água.

We paid 8000 IQD for one night and one day. Very welcoming staff. Security camera. Toilets available. Very few people, we had a very quiet night.

Home to the remains of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib, cousin of the Prophet Muhammad and first Imam of Shiism and fourth Caliph of Islam (656-661), it is an important place of pilgrimage for Shiites.

Free access. Loan of a chador at the entrance for women. remember to put on socks too 😉. Possibility to take photos and videos with the smartphone without problem but avoid large cameras. It is still possible to enter with a big camera but you will have to pass a small interview to justify it, then you will be loaned a ''press'' card and someone will follow you to watch you. Prohibited videos with a big camera.

We slept one night here. Motorcycles doing races next to us until 12am. After thay was silent. It is forbidden to camp inside the beach (we park in the beach until 6:00pm, then police came by and said to us it was forbidden). Puerto Colombia is worth visiting, such beautiful town with great surf.

These coordinates are a little off. Keep moving north to the corner and right before the bridge, make a left to the dirt road. You will then see the river on your right and the picnic area. The area is well kept and clean. There were just a few, small spots to park our van. The police passed by and didn't say/ask anything so we felt fine about spending the night. The road has little traffic. Kitties were happy.
If you visit in summer, I recommend finding the walkway towards Baño de los Dioses in Maps.me and enjoy a fun walk and a refreshing natural pool.

Got to the park at like 2am. Drove up then hill where the road curves a bit until I found parking spots. There was another car next to me. Slept until noon. People and other cars started showing up at 7am and made some noise but I wasn't bothered.
So far a cool place to spend the night.

Nuit au Walmart très calme. Nous nous sommes mis au fond du parking près des lampadaires avec noté "max 24hr"

Now there's a panel "no acampar". Plus many locals were already there starting a fire. We didn't want people partying around us so we didn't stay.

Nice and quiet spot for a nigth. The coordonates are the begin of the dirty road. You can continu. You can go with a big rig. You can't be seen from the main road.

Bon spot pour une nuit. C'est calme, mais le matin les agriculteurs vont travailler avec leur machine. Les coordonnées indiquent le début du chemin, mais vous pouvez le continuer pour trouver une place hors de vu de la route principale. Possible avec un van 2wd.

Closed. Maybe???
We were able to spend one night, but security came in the AM.
We arrived at 8PM, parked towards back of lot and went inside to play in the Casino until 11PM. Security came knocking on our window at 6AM and asked us to move along bc “no camping”
5 out of 10
Would not camp here again. Gila Rivers Resort & Casino has a
second location: Vee Quiva Hotel &Casino
they offer FREE overnight parking for
RV/Trucks.

Good, quiet spot for a night or two. We parked outside a small ice making factory and they were cool with it. Just a bit of noise from around 6am when people start to buy their ice. Other than that a good spot.

Area borders the BLM long term sites. West of this road is permit only 9/15 to 4/15. East is 14 day limit and free. it was about 12 square miles of open camping here. Easy walk to Holtville Hot Springs. Basic supplies 7 miles away in Holtville.
Been using the Springs as a water source, no worries.
Lots of coyotes!

There is now a sign saying access is prohibited (maybe through other ways its not). Anyway we decided to go further, past the military checkpoint and the hotel and when heading to the ridge wildcampsite we found tracks that go down to the lake. You'll be close but out of sight of the hotel. Coordinates: 21.57831, 68.04503. Lake and Flamingos right next to that spot. So many points around here so I didn't create a new one.

I have stayed here multiple weeks throughout the summer of 22 but by November the harbor police began to have more staff to address people staying in there vehicles here. I loved this place in terms of scenery and overall quality but unfortunately the police are cracking down more.

Very nice and big space for parking and quiet for a good sleep very happy with our stay

Parking lot at the water. Most are boat trailer sites, but there is a row of normal parking where we parked our 26ft hanging the back over the grass. Police came by so we checked if overnighting was OK here and they said we were fine. it is a weekday off season and nobody there. super quiet night

Ferry to Ocracoke Island at surprisingly affordable rates. 15 dollar per 20ft, I.e. only 30 dollar up to 40ft! makes it really worth it doing the loop across the barrier islands. Thanks NCdot!!

Still there, great facilities provided by the NPS.

Water available,hose to put directly in your tank.

Very nice but windy when we were there. Very good for a free stay,nobody bothered us and there were a handful, most waiting to get out on the beach at 7am sharp for surffishing.

Parked here for two nights. No issues with ‘the lady’ at all - was very quiet. The only disruption was a street sweeper each morning around 4:30am.

I appreciate the free night stay but would likely not stay here again. There's is something eerie about this place with the beat up car at the end of the lot and questionable people wandering about. Pretty sure we heard some gunshots across the road in the evening too. On a positive note, the bathroom was nice.
