wonderfull campsite, $ 25
even in this season loveley. facilities as described. lots of deer and a warning for ( not seeing) mountain lion. The cohab canyon trail opposite the campsite is very good. and do not forget the scenic drive all the way up to the Golden Throne trail parking. Awesom!

stayed there 1 night. good spot for a quiet night.
Noisy from around 6am as it close to all school buses parking lot.

Very kind and talkative local family running a simple hotel.
Rooms start from 10 US$, depending on the size and if you choose a room with air condition or fan.
I camped up at the rooftop for 5 US$. They gave me permanent access to a maintained bathroom with shower, toilet, mirror and sink downstairs.
It is possible to use the kitchen.

They have card and gave us 50 liters for the normal price for 2 cars.

Chill spot. No issues currently. Got here at sunset and only a couple cars in the lot.

destroyed. do not consider this one as a shelter to spend the night. there's better options before and after.

best kept Refugio I've come across out of all. everything works, stove missing (but who cares), clean and cozy.

What a find! Just up the hill/walking distance to La Fortuna/Zai. Super chill spot with great hosts, Jamie, Mel and the 4 dogs. Don’t be intimidated by the dogs, you will love them after their initial protective greeting.

Jaime and Mel were more than accommodating! They let us borrow propane which we ran out of, helped us troubleshoot our solar/battery issues and on top of that gave my girlfriend a surf lesson.

We stayed for 3 nights and we’re delighted to spectacular views, great outdoor showers (ambient temp) which was nice on a hot day. Strong wifi, with a composting toilet, 100% off grid, and sustainable. Also up on a hill with breeze to keep bugs away. Check ahead and Reserve in advance as there are only a handful of spots.

Open 24 hours through the week, 7a-7p on weekends. Parking lot is well lit. Stayed for a few nights and no one bothered me. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're a member - free toilet and showers to use. Really nice inside - looks like a new location. Staff was friendly and kept the place clean.

We arrived at about 2pm and the guy at the entrance gave us the last spot. Since we did a trail first we didn't get to our spot until the evening, but it was already taken. We were both assigned to the same spot. We went to the campground host and explained that they had sold the site to two people. When asked what we should do now he said he could not do anything unfortunately the other was there first. No word of refund, no apology. He didn't even allow us to park the van at the picnic area. He advised us to drive 30 minutes further to another Park owned Campground and show them the Receipt. But since we did not want to drive 30 minutes at night and then negotiate with another inflexible campground host, we just went back to the occupied place where the nice gentleman allowed us to use the place together with him.
What a bad service, charge $ 35.- and then not even able to find a solution for their own mistakes.

We stayed here 3 nights (non consecutive) while visiting San Cristobal. The guards told us where to park and our dog appreciated the grass. Very quiet here and the bathrooms are very nice here. Wifi does not reach the parking lot.

Spent a really quiet night here with our rooftop tent. Wind was really mild where we stayed and only in the evening, super calm and quiet in the morning. There are gates on both sides, coming from R40 on the way to the cave we turned left (north) and passed through both opened gates. After the second gate you’d need high clearance because part of the road is uneven pebble road. We stopped beneath a little cave some 50m before the actual spot. There are many options inside the canyon. Super nice smell in the morning because of the salt river. We saw a flamingo coming back to the Ruta.

edit: The place is not private property but under the old “No Pasar” sign there is a warning about nails on the road. We didn’t see any nails, maybe sharp rocks? You can park before the sign.

Acampei com barraca de teto. O local é muito bonito, mas o camping achei meio abandonado... construíram um banheiro feminino novo e o masculino é muito velho e precário. Fez frio mesmo em Novembro e o chuveiro não aquece a água gelada... banho frio. valor pago foi de 25 reais, mas sem muita estrutura ou apoio aos campistas. O lugar é lindo e merecia cuidado melhor !

Do yourself a favour by stopping here! The owners are incredibly inviting and appreciate any business you may offer. The parking is free if you do not require any services, but a visit to the restaurant is greatly appreciated. The restaurant is incredible. The menu is vast and the food portions are huge and prices are more than fair. The parking is huge for any size rig. We are 10m long and 4m high and had no issues at all. We ended up spending a couple nights here to finish up our drive to the end of the road going south. You won’t be disappointed.
Cheers

Lovely place. It was being run by Karina and her family while Rafael was away. They were doing a great job. Bathrooms clean and running water, but no hot water. Very windy and the wind shelters on the palapas have been taken by the latest hurricane. Karina was nice enough to let us use the porch of the vacant cabana to hide from the wind. $500mxn for a palapa on the beach. Slow wifi, no cell signal.

Really nice campsite! Private shelter and nice lagoon in the middle. Right next to the river where you can do hikes and swim! 10usd a person.

Amongst our favorite wild camping spots in Chile! Water nearby, clean, flat and beautiful nature. Perfect for an early start to Tatio. We loved it here!

It is possible to spend the night with a motorhome here without any problems. It has a bathroom open at night and a list of other places where you can spend the night free of charge.

I was able to drop off my visa request at the Côte d’Ivoire embassy in Conakry. It was a smooth process:
Sylvain, the consulate employee, accepted my online payment (58€ on the SNEDAI website) and didn’t ask for any more money, he was very professional. He filled out the form for me.

Docs requested: copy of yellow fever vaccine, 1 ID photo, 1 copy of passport identification page, receipt of online payment (58€). He also asked for the copy of the covid vaccination proof which I hadn’t printed out, I just showed it on my phone and he said it was ok.

As for the laisser passer: he said that they’ve received new guidelines to clarify the LP process. Apparently this document is issued ONLY to Ivorian nationals who have lost their passport and need to travel back to their country. As an exception, they do issue LP for foreigners who travel by land but ONLY IF they have a motorbike or a car. For those like me who travel via public transportation, he didn’t really know what to do… He will call his colleagues at the border of Nzérékoré to know more about it.

A beautiful place. Very quiet and in the middle of the cactus landscape. We did a little hike here without a guide. Jessy was very friendly and looked after us.

A large asphalt parking lot with boat ramp. Located along the Warrior River. Free site. Two bars on Verizon. No amenities. Some noise at night from a few cars turning around and a few barges going by but not much traffic after midnight.

we followed the dirty road that goes to the lake, there are places to camp, with beautiful view.
we asked a local if we could stay for the night, he said it was ok but not on the place next to the houses, because people pass there to go to the field/lake.
some people passed in the morning, no problem.
we had a good night :)

Easy to find with the written directions. A bit of a steep hill down from the road to the river bed, but many of the basic local cars were doing it fine. May be hard to get to the beach if it’s been raining a lot. Beautiful location though with tons of space. We drove from the main area to the left (facing the lake), and there there was space for many vehicles, some sheltered from trees. Very flat as well. No direct access to the lake since there’s a stream running between the lake and the parking area. Lovely place to spend the night

Carolina is a super nice host with a beautiful campsite. Hot shower and a new toilet building. 600 pesos per person. 10 minute walk to town. They have 6 lovely dogs and a funny donkey. Wifi reaches the beginning of the campsite. So nice to feel grass under your feet! During the day they have sometimes birthday celebrations. But only till 5 or 6 pm. And always quiet.

We stayed here in our 32 ft skoolie and follow-car in the back with the trucks and RVs. A lot more semis here than RVs so it got pretty loud at night. Besides the “no camping” sign there were no “over night parking prohibited” signs! We felt safe and it was a convenient pull of from I-25 South!

Easy access. Large site. Quiet. Did hear shooting range in the distance. Area designated site hunting camp. Did not check out other 13 sites. This one was perfect for overnight.
