Check-Ins

One of our favorite places along the coast. Stayed 2 nights, no problems at all. Very quiet at night, just the waves which are only 10 meters from the car ;-) Just be careful not to park under a coconut tree with mature fruits.

There was a police control today, very friendly officer waved us through after asking us of our nationality and our next destination. maybe because our spanish is sooooo bad 😂

Basic hotel, not too expensive.
$16 for a double room, private bathroom. Hot shower. There’s also a restaurant.
Safe private parking available in a garage downstairs.

13.000 CFA ( 20 euros) 2 people + 4x4 1 night for parking.
Looks nice place but camping area tiny and uneven surface.
No place to wash dishes nor hot water in showers and no possibility of filling water if not from toilets it seems.
Absolutely overpriced but only option in the area if not near the street.

Point of view on the waterfall of the bride's veil. 600 m walk from parking. The first part is rather flat, then it goes up well at the end. The waterfall is in several falls on a fairly high height. The point of view is worth it.

point de vue sur la cascade du voile de la mariée. marche de 600 m depuis le stationnement. la première partie est plutôt plate, puis ça monte bien sur la fin. la cascade est en plusieurs chutes sur une hauteur assez élevée. le point de vue vaut le coup.

The turquoise lake is at the heart of the crater of a volcano. It’s a pretty lake and you have a magnificent view of the Laguna Esmeralda and the snow-capped mountain range that surrounds it. The walk is about 3 km round trip, but everything is uphill. The elevation is approximately 360 m in 1.5 km. Most of the climb is in the forest and on arrival you have to pass some muddy areas. The round trip is estimated at 3:20.

le lac turquoise est au cœur du cratère d’un volcan. c’est un joli lac et vous avez un magnifique point de vue sur la Laguna Esmeralda et la chaîne montagneuse enneigée qui l’entoure. la marche est d’environ 3 km aller retour, mais tout est en montée. le dénivelé est d’environ 360 m en 1,5 km. la plus grande partie de la montée est dans la forêt et à l’arrivée il faut passer quelques zones boueuses. l’aller retour est estimé à 3h20.

there is a spigot at the campground and 2 at the visitors center BUT they are turned off in the winter. a park ranger let me fill up my motorhome from the only spigot turned on in the “residential/staff only” lot.

ask in the visitor center if they have a spigot to fill up your rig! if you just need drinking water, there is a free, potable faucet in between the men and women’s restroom at the campsite!

Regular fuel station, price is 23.00 pesos per liter

A beautiful place! Even though there is no electricity or water on the sites, the view from the site is AMAZING, directly to the sea!

The road that gets to the campground is 48 km paved road and the last 17 km is gravel road.

The host was very nice, her English is very good, she’s a marine biologist so she has a lot of knowledge.

100 pesos per person, you can also pay in PayPal.

The toilets are pit toilet but very clean, the showers are bucket shower but also very clean and plenty of hot water.

Wi-Fi, surprisingly is pretty good but works better at the office.

In the morning there’s a whale watching tour,

(60 USD per person)

we saw some whales, dolphins
and had SO much fun.

Highly recommended! we would definitely come again😁.

Came in late last night and there were a few other cars and trucks. Stayed till about 8 this morning and no one bothered us. Great place to walk my dog in the morning and plenty of open spots.

I pulled in at 18:15 in my Jeep Cherokee Overland Rig, Fired up my CDH, blocked out my windows, crawled in. Their were 6-7 other vehicles at the trail head after dark. I am passing through and plan on snowboarding Breck tomorrow. The community should encourage more economical overnight parking with no amenities vs expensive campgrounds or feeling like I'm sneeking arround.

I practice no trace overlanding / camping and have a federal retired & disabled veteran all access pass for federal land.

Great place. Love the atmosphere. Enough space to store two bicycles. Basic rooms with everything you need. Parking lot for 4WD, motorcycle. Not enough space to park your expedition truck.

Bought diesel in the truck lanes and then propane. Employees were all very prompt and polite, and location was nice and clean. If you're headed west on 58, don't make our mistake and turn right onto the frontage road. Take the cloverleaf to the left to get back on the Hwy.

This place is permanently closed.........

This place is permanently closed.........

during the day passage to the beach of the trapiche, feirinha touristic place...etc... at night....lighting and people drinking a certain noise, so not suitable for sleeping, but very safe.....

Camping municipal muy bien cuidado, con parrillas, mesas y bancos. Parque de juegos para niños y baños con ducha (solo agua fría). También tiene algunas tomas eléctricas. Es abierto (sin rejas, pared o similar). Al costado de la ruta. Pasamos 1 noche muy bien

class B van stayed 1 night just fine, no problems. Parked all the way in the back left corner with 2 other vehicles. Have to drive by all the truckers to get there. The services building was awesome. TV rooms, food, and awesome hot showers for $15. Did laundry too.

Stayed here for one night. Friendly staff.
The showers are really rudimentary although they are ok if you measure under 1,6m
The gate is closed during the night.
price 300 pesos

Our favorite spot of the trip so far. Wind shelter. Beautiful forest. Many places to camp along this road with a tent or a camper. No service unless you go back to the water. Road was just fine for our little 2WD van. Saw tons of birds (including parrots!) and Guanacos and Armadillos and even some farm animals like cows and pigs. We foraged for dinner and had some yummy local sage, local Calafate berries and puffball mushrooms. Stayed 2 nights. Forgot to take a photo!

Very interesting. English tour available. new price 2000 pesos.

Stayed here on Jan. 13, 2023. Usual signs for RV and Bus area parking, and counted a dozen vans and two campers in tow. NO SIGNS for no overnight parking. Place should not be marked as closed. I didn’t call, but maybe they have a new manager.

the previous pullouts we're too steep to sleep comfortably in my SUV. This spot, with a couple of flat rocks under the tires was nice and flat.
2 bars Verizon 4g good for remote work
no shade
highway in the distance barely audible like a faint river
planes coming in to land north of site are louder in comparison
star gazing limited because of city lights illuminating the sky at a distance.
some fire rings and broken glass show sign of previous use.

Ficamos aqui de quinta feira a segunda feira, um grande estacionamento em frente a praia. Tem 2 grande sombreiro que em um montei minha rede e ficou top.

Aqui é um grande estacionamento público em um bairro de família de pescadores, quando chegamos o Sr. Laurindo que nos recebeu e disse seja bem vindo. Falou que é comum motorhome estar por aqui.
Tem um pequeno mercado aqui do lado, tem bastante coisa, a dona super atenciosa.

Um bom lugar pra descansar e bem seguro.

Sinal da claro não pega aqui e Vivo pega 3G, foi o único problema. Eu uso um amplificador de sinal de celular rural, faz contato que te envio a instalação.

Espero que minha experiência que deixo aqui te ajude. já estamos a 1 ano morando no Motorhome

Endroit très tranquille. Stationnement entre deux resto au bord du lac. Le lac est un ancien cratère de volcan c'est donc super creux rapidement. Quelques vagues, agréable de s'y baigner. Tranquille même un vendredi soir

Very quiet place. Parking between two restaurants by the lake. The lake is an old volcano crater so it gets super hollow quickly. Some waves, nice to swim in. Quiet even on a Friday night

Ótimo local para pernoitar, banheiro, ducha fria, não tem wi-fi, pode tomar banho na praia do rio, bem iluminado e tranquilo. muitos aventureiros. Paisagem linda.

Beautiful scenic cobblestone drive up to the mirador, then dirt trail to the gps location. Just driving up to the mirador is 100% worth it! I did not stay overnight but it looks suitable. A few overhanging branches on the dirt section may limit tall vehicles.

There are two possible routes at the base of the hill, take the one on the left, street name Sta Maria, for a much smoother ride.

Nice sunset. Stayed here the night since the river wasn’t crossable

be aware that there is deep sand that isn't highly visible in this campsite. we got stuck once and helped someone else out of a sand trap a few days later. lots of surfers at the river mouth. great stars.

Price is now $4.25 for up to 250 gal. I don't mind paying for water but this is a bit steep to take on 23 gal.
