Small trail head off the main road.. super quiet we stayed here 1 night no problem, the trail is 8 miles along and we were warned there are lots of ticks on trail and a few bears. The stars were AMAZING at night.. incredible. Nice place to stay

Ecuador to Colombia
Ecuador check out is easy. Go to Migracion, give little paper you got on entry and passport and done. Next for our motorcycles we gave the TIP back and finished, all within 10 min. Then to Colombian part. Go to migration, get passport stamped and scanned and and show MIG on phone, just glanced at mine, ignored wife’s and you’re done, 10 min. Then to the Dian office. No copy’s of anything needed, BUT you have to check your vehicle in online at the dian.gov.co website. Otherwise it’s not working. When checked in, the process is easy. I didn’t check In online beforehand so had to do it on the spot, which takes 10 min. per bike and the customs man was kind enough to upload the documents himself. The website is not very user friendly. All in all we spent half an hour checking out two bikes in. You get a mail that serves as tip, so no paper tip.

nice place, clean & tidy, cool & very quiet at night, BBQ s with ranchos & seating, cold shower, bathrooms & pools.
The zoo is actually rescue animals, they get sent here by the people & by government officially, previously the government funded some of the costs of feeding them but now it is all paid for by the park despide more animals being sent here.

Nice and quiet night. Flat spots right in front of the beach. We saw the police patrolling the beach during the night but they didn't ask us anything. The raccoons are patrolling as well.

Bottles are NOT refilled, only exchanged.

Sleeping in the Pine trees, you need a 4WD because the road is quite bumpy.
1 bars of 4G.

Went here to camp and the store owner says they charge 20k per night. We asked about it being free city parking and he said no, it's private property. We went elsewhere for the night, but it does seem like a decent place with the rivers nearby to hang out in. Definitely more quiet then the actual balenario at the end of the road.

Hose to fill up for free your tank with fresh water.

Municipal building with free wifi, just off the road, second building on the right. Benches too. Shielded from the brutal wind.

Very handy shop. Ours is a vintage 1977 dodge van and they were able to fix our suspension, side mirrors, wipers and a bunch of small things!

Trailhead parking for a short hike to some very cool dinosaur footprints. Follow the trail past the closed gate and continue on the road up the hill (not down the stone steps into the canyon).

Beautiful area with lots of possible hiking. This is Grupo Mexico Land (a mining conglomerate). They sponsored and maintain the dino footprints sites in the area.

If you continue on to Sendero 1, 1.5 km down the road further, it's a good idea to park at the fork in the road where the left fork goes up a steep hill. We walked to Sendero 1 and the road gets pretty gnarly as you get close. A car might make it most of the way, but the last stretch is really washed out. Sendero 1 is in a building surrounded by a fence. Open only on weekends. (Sendero 2 is outside and open 24/7). There's a hole in the fence where people obviously sneak in during the week. The small building is unlocked and you can look at the footprints inside. No troubles. Saw some trabajadores (Grupo Mexico employees), but they just smiled and waved.

Don't take google maps' suggested route. It takes you through a small mining neighborhood and to a dead end at a water tower. Instead, from Esqueda take Camino de Esqueda (Cam. de Esqueda on Google maps) out of town. This spot is several kilometers easy of town. Cool footprints. Enjoy. FREE, but tip the Grupo Mexico employees if you see them.

This is the correct road to the dinosaur footprints eco tourism site. Don't take the other route Google maps suggests, it ends at a dead end road by a water tower.

Drain to empty a grey water tank near rest area exit.

1800 per person plus a one-time payment of 1800 for your camper. The pin is at the entrance to the park off a busy road but the park is several hundred meters south of the busy road and very quiet. Swimming pool. Lots of room. We were pleasantly surprised.

Very nice rest area beside the highway. I spent a night and a day here. It's very quiet compared to a truck stop, vendor machines, clean restrooms and kind employee who showed me where the free fresh water/dump station is on the site (no sign to indicate it).

local tranquilo, não tem energia elétrica

local top ...tranquilo muito bonito e seguro ....

Clerk said we could fill up our water tanks, no problem! Still free and available. Water tastes a little mineral-y but it's still potable.

Small grocery store with purified water inside meant for 5 gallon water bottles. No issues filling jugs. Charged me 15 pesos per jug.

Fantastic spot. Had to use dead-reckoning using the iOverlander map to head this way once on the dirt road.

Great spot with only one sticker picked out of paw (stayed on dirt road).

Hot shower can be gotten from the gas station just North (marked on iOverlander).

At your private camping spot? Stars. Galaxies of stars waiting for you.

Lots of room in here, though not sure I'd take bigger than a Sprinter in here.

Shipping agenc: Mr. Nelson solved the problem of a container shipment from Uruguay with a Landcruiser inside sovereignly, incl. ICP; (costs MYR 1'585.30 all-in); motor vehicle insurance MYR 168.00. Time 3 working days. Mandatory: Carnet CPD

This place is an absolute gem and highly recommended. Empty beach, constant breeze, all amenities available, lovely owners, common area for hanging out with other campers. I love that the electric is metered, so you only pay for what you actually use. Keeps the price reasonable at 300 pesos per night.

signs say “no overnight parking” so might not want to risk it here

Confirmed with Walmart staff that cops won’t bother vehicle campers here, however he stressed that you WILL get towed from the nearby Walmart Supercenter so make absolutely certain you have the right one! Always good to verify with staff just in case anything changes.

Restaurants nearby. Bathrooms inside Walmart obv. Strong Verizon 5G signal.

perfect spot to take a shower, full Up your tank! we went There 2 Time to take a shower ans no problem! they even have a hose

Pretty level parking, no wifi in lot but they have it inside.
Lots of transports tonight.

The owners Nelson and Katty (we checked the spelling with her, so this is right!!) are lovely people and so welcoming. When we arrived we saw a for sale sign and got worried but went around the coner to the other gate and were welcomed with fresh avocados. Perfect spot!

está permitido acampar y pernoctar con motorhome, casas rodantes, carpas. no hay energía, agua potable, hay que llevar todo. no hay señal celular, menos wifi. una experiencia de naturaleza pura. no aconsejable casas rodantes que su tractor no sea 4x4 por pendientes pronunciadas. si se quedan en la noche deben registrarse. hay
