Check-Ins

Huge free area for camping. Grass, river, trees, birds... Must be almost the perfect spot. One working toilet, garbage disposal, bbq's (a lot). Some locals during the day (it's high season now), super quiet during the night. Very good claro 4G.

Enorme área libre para acampar. Hierba, río, árboles, pájaros... Debe ser casi el lugar perfecto. Un inodoro que funciona, triturador de basura, parrillas (muchas). Algunos locales durante el día (ahora es temporada alta), súper tranquilos durante la noche. muy bueno claro 4G

Gas is only for the staff who live at the camp. The public cannot buy gasoline here.

Awesome food. Very nice service and comfortable place. Since it’s in a touristic area, it’s not cheap, but isn’t expensive either.

i didn’t quite make it all the way. i camped in my 22 ft motorhome just after the cattle guard entrance and closer to the highway because i had more cell service here and needed to catch up on some work.

i’m not sure if there’s cell service at the farther coordinates listed, but it is nice to be farther from the road and stealthier.

my rig was very obvious from the road (highway?) but i had no problems whatsoever. there’s absolutely no place to camp for free in Jemez Springs in the winter so this is the best option if you’re headed to chaco canyon!

Nothing here, no police or checkpoint on this road

buen lugar para acampar todas las comodidades

Nice wide space beside the river with some benches asound. Good view of the mountains. We stayed 1 night. Be careful of bugs at night.

basic Aircon with bano large secure parking to rear would fit big rig wifi slow
one person 100 mil

Nice quiet place a bit from the road, not very visible. We spend a very peaceful night here.

small, hidden supermarket (yellow sign saying autoservicio) with a wide range of goods (bread, vegetables, sweets, drinks, meat, pasta flour, oil,...)

2500pP for the day tour
500pP for camping

The tours seem to run longer during summer/holiday season, we arrived at 14.30 and went on the tour 15.30

Tour lasts 3 hours. Interesting rock formations + some info given by guide (only Spanish!). Extremely hot!

We visited Valle de La Luna in the Atacama Desert shortly before and I’d say you don’t have to do this tour if you’ve seen Atacama and unless you a very interested in dinosaurs ^^

secured and calm place. Few people and fisherman during the day, loads of people for the sunset and only Overlanders for the night

Adriana works from her own living room. This is not a fancy salon, this is a place for a good haircut (and in my case, a great beard trim), for what seems like a more than reasonable fee. She mentioned she's been doing this for 7 years but the pandemic killed her business, so she now offers cuts from home. Her kids were watching TV while she cut my hair, and her husband bringing tools in from a day of work. This is how you put money directly in local's hands so they can grow their own projects and progress in life.

My cut and beard trim were salon quality. Tons of pictures of styles on the wall you can point to if you do not speak Spanish. Very convenient place if you are staying at one of the RV places in El Centenario.

You can WhatsApp her to make sure she'll be able to take you without wait +52 1 612 229 5994

I’ve stayed here four separate times over the last 2 1/2 weeks as I travel around the area. No problems at all. I always leave by 10am. It seems like everyone is following the rules. Usually 6-12 RVs/Vans/car dwellers every night. A little loud at times, but to be expected. Nice walking path nearby too.

Small parking lot Just over the bridge at the foundation. Place for 10 campers. Less noice then at the parkinglot from the supermarket at the other site. Supermarket open from 8-21:30 with restaurant, toilet and free wifi. McDonald's 200 m

TRIGGER WARNING, S*XUAL ASSAULT

We arrived here at around 17h30, got greeted by two dogs and Antonio. He showed us around and insisted to walk alone with my girlfriend but she clearly denied. Then, we went back to our truck to eat. At around 19h30, my girlfriend went on a walk to make a few phone calls. Antonio followed her around with a flashlight for a while and theb made his way up to her, smelling like booze and visibly drunk. He forcefully hugged her and kissed and then licked her neck. When she tried to get away, he grabbed her arm and tried to pull her back towards him. She had to run away back to our truck and then we left. I would absolutely never recommend this place to anyone, the owner is a creep and a p*rvert. Please don’t ever come here.

Lugar maravilhoso e tranquilo. Beira do lago com vista para o Vulcão. Top

Nice and beautiful area. Beautiful sunset with lake and vulcan view. Highly recommend.

About 1 mile off the road up a dirt track. A couple of spots by the base of the mine and another one about another 150 yards up the hill. I made it with a long wheelbase Transit in the rain. Well used fire pit didn’t use obviously because of the rain. Shortly after setting up I got visited by Burro’s.

They checked if we have some fruit, forbiden to take to other region, we hide all in our bed so no problem

Lugar tranquilo pra uns dias com seu MH com energia e água, nesta data R$19,90 a diária por veículo, próximo ao aeroporto e uma 5km da entrada do Parque Nacional

perfect and friendly.. good place to stay.

Good pressure, need a hose. Looks like you could possibly also dump, but not sure

Had to fix door as it seems opening cable came free. Great little spot.

Just as described - felt super safe, great amenities for being right on the water. Beachfront was epic, snorkeling was amazing, so many gorgeous kinds of fish and water life. Great trails from this beach down to many other rediculously gorgeous beaches… walked the trails to the right of the beach for about 15 mins and stopped at another point area they called Dinosaur egg beach. The snorkeling there was even more great and the huge round rocks everywhere and other amazing rock formations were radical! Highly recommend! We didn’t camp, it was a little windy that day and we wanted to keep moving, but we spent the whole day there mostly and would highly recommend!

Typical Walmart bathrooms were clean fairly large parking lot multiple other overnighters some road noise but beyond that slept like a baby. I parked in the very front of the lot by the grass but others were parked elsewhere.

so-so experience..
+ great views of the waterfall, no entrance fee, you have the spot all for yourself. it's really beautiful.
- the food is quite expensive by Malawian standards (4500 Kw for chips and eggs). The owner told us it would take 10 minutes, we told him we don't have too much time. In the end it was 1 hour 15 minutes until food was served. The chips were still kind of raw. It was a really small plate. We left the place still hungry.
Suggestion: have a beer or a coke enjoying the views, but don't eat here.

Nice fishing lake and campsites at Crowley State Fishing Lake

Several sites suitable for big rigs, tents, and car camping.

Fire rings and shelters at some sites.

Pit Toilets also available

No cell service with T-mobile

Stayed one night in January in my 19 ft Skoolie.

Great spot. Not busy. Clean restrooms and shower

Awesome spot to overnight. Solo female traveler, felt super safe. Only 1 truck exited at night (assumed it was from the nordic center), no one came at night, and people came around 6:30 in the morning (I think to open up the center). The gate to the center was closed at night but the huge gravel (snow right now) lot was open. Also two porta-potties there! Got lots of snow overnight, and it's a really fun spot to walk your pet. Very little service; 1 weak bar of Verizon (enough to send a text sometimes). Would definitely stay here again! But definitely be considerate of the center and the snow plow too.

Stayed one night with our camper van. Very quiet. Nice big lot. Good breakfast. Great place.
