free parking spot on Fleur De Lis Drive to overnight

Free street parking at Fleur De Lis Park, enjoy the park in a nice neighborhood, it has benches, tables, trash can, playground, tree shade

Yeah, gotta agree with TravelingRedwoods. Great border crossing. Way way newer than several others we've been to. Well organized and clean. Banjercito open 8am to Midnight, absolute life saver considering how far you'd have to go otherwise. Strangely not on Google maps either. TIP cancellation was super quick and easy. American side was very cordial but did do a relatively thorough search of the van. Still was only a 30 minute process, both sides combined. Though it was basically empty on a Saturday night.

Regular and Diesel only. No premium. Nice people though. Bathrooms were clean.

Dump is located towards the exit of the loop.

really nice place! along the lake, no amenities. stunning sunset! best option before or after Tikal. really safe

Regular, Premium and Diesel available., whereas the one at the corner of Highway 5 only has regular and diesel.

Class B van stayed 1 night just fine, no problems. Lots of parking on all sides of Bass Pro. We were the only van there.

They have a clearance. Very unique items like pomegranate and blueberry honey, pollen seeds which is incredible for health and lots of other things. Get here before it's all sold out. We got a half price deal

They have diesel and you can pay with creditcard (visa).

Easy border, friendly staff on both side. No money asked. Togo side is quite slow. We did the eVisa for Benin and we printed it to show them. All done in one hour.
The road to the border from Notsé is all paved. Kpalimé to Notsé is piste but in good condition. No problem.

One of the best garage‘s on the route to South Africa.

I arrived at Ahmeds garage 3 months ago, even if the garage is super busy he takes his time to welcomes Overlander‘s or people who just need help. The whole team there is more a family instead of one Bigs boss and mechanics. The repairs on my car were always fast and the result was super good. Because of the long repair process of my car(a lot was spoiled)I had the opportunity to see how they work. The standard is high, like europe, even if they have not every spare part for every brand he knows to organize it in short time and good quality.

Big flat gravel grassy place with lots of campers. Few hundred meters to very nice old town with lot of restaurants. Don't forget to visit the gaves in the center and castle you see from this "camping". Lidl supermarkt in town too

Seemed like a nice and quiet place until about 5:30 a.m. and every local in town came here to continue the party. Wouldn't recommend on a Saturday night.

Parecía un lugar tranquilo hasta todo los locales vinieron a continuar la fiesta a las 5:30 a.m. No lo recomendaría para los fines de semana.

We stayed for a couple of nights and it was very quiet. We were the only ones there. Cost's are 20 baht per person per night and 20 baht for the Vehicle per night. A very clean nice place with a stunning setting.
Walk along the trail and enjoy nature.
Can't comment on the Toilet and Shower since we have our own in the Rig.

la place avait l air déserte,personne sur place , pas tres propre.

Happy to fill in @6bob/l. Diesel and petrol

Full tank of diesel sin factura @ 6bob/l

we found this place closed. Doesn't look like it is still operating. Also could not see any place to park a camper

Great little salt hotel at the edge of the Salar.
50bob pp, so 100bob for. Doble room for two. The room itself is v small but outside communal area is great with little salt tables and benches. Kinda like a hostel vibe, if you get the crowds in (we were the only ones there at the time tho)
Shower was hot, and beds nice and warm.
Decent WiFi available too!

FYI- this place becomes a ghost town after 2:30ish when all the tours leave for the day - get your food and hits before this!

Nice and quiet place directly at the blue lagoon. Grassy area to stay with small vans. Really big RVs max have problems with trees on the short road. Daytime some locals, at night alone. Basic cool shower, bathrooms basic too. Good wifi.

Stayed one night. Couldn’t reach anyone on the phone to ask permission to stay but when we arrived there was already a truck camper there so we figured it was fine. Big lot. Level. Quiet night. Would stay again.

Parking area of Sigh temple. No road noise, just the sound of the river and prayers from the temple. Prayers finished at 8pm and startet again at 6 in the morning with singing and music, so not the best place for sleeping long. After an hour or so it was much quieter.
The people are very friendly and said it is ok to park here for the night. They also offered to provide a room in the temple area for us. There are toilets, cold showers, places to fill up water (don't know about the quality), free chai and food. Not much going here, just in the morning more people came to visit the temple.

Dump station, we payed 10.70$ and we got potable water too.

Ok stop for one night, we arrived late and left early. Safe and not to loud.Street parking in front on a big private 4 levels parking. Btw. Yellow cafe have very good latte, food is so so.

We spent one night here after visiting the Taj Mahal and had no problem. We didn't ask anybody about night parking when we entered the parking and nobody bothered us. Quite night.
Just when we left at around 8am, they asked us to pay the day fare again (180rps) because we stayed the night. They say the ticket would only be valid for 12h but it's not written anywhere. On the ticket it's written, that safety of parking is not guaranteed for the time the Taj Mahal is closed = so we argued that we don't pay for that. After 2 min arguing they let us go.

Toilet closed at night. Don't park where the busses are parked (to the right), try to park at the far end going straight ahead close to the toilets.

Road is still in Bad condition. very Rocky and steep in some parts. Made it with Motorbike plus luggage. but its quite Tricky. for 4x4 you should a be experienced Driver i guess.
anyway a Lot of fun an an amazing scenery.

Absolutely horrible! Would be a nightmare if we could have gotten some sleep. Don't go here during weekends or holidays. There is no limit on how many people they let on the campsite. It was so busy, there were even people that camped right next to the entrance of the toilet blocks. Toilets were very very dirty. Showers only cold water and also dirty, but makes sense with so many people. Half of them had huge speakers standing outside blaring super loud music until very very late. Expect to not sleep. At all. If we could, we would have left. We felt we were on Pinkpop without nice bands playing. Just bad stereo installations and bad music. Can't believe people with babies stay here.

along the river bank there are many places to park you camper(van) or set up a tent. many fire pits on different places. view on the mountains and lots of birds. in daytime some cars drive by on the other side of the river. that didnt bother us. i think you can use the water from the river to drink or at least to boil for cooking. no wifi. very weak internet signal. no toilets so take your scoop with you.
