Check-Ins

Still really nice mid week. we rented a room at 400/ night MX.
#8. had really hot water in the shower. bed is hard and small (matrimonial). we were told camping was 100/person.
restaurant served a good breakfast. 145 pesos for Hot cakes, mushroom burrito, fresh oj. great birding here. little teinda on site. we're in the state of Colima.

Free city council campground very well maintained and spotless clean. Hot shower 2 minutes for $1. Toilets, picnic table, playground, rubbish bins, FREE public WiFi.

Roora Walking Trail- 6km in native bush - starts near the campground.

When coming to el calafate the officers just asked us where we are coming from and after telling them el chalten, they let us through without any check. On our way out they gave the driver an alcotest, checked his license and wanted to know where we are going.

It was a wonderful spot, but Camping no longer allowed. Sheriff came this afternoon to give me a warning, took my driver licence info. Can stay for the day only.

No more showers without membership here. But they were very friendly! :)

Great showers, still $7. Very clean bathroom. I thought the place was closed because the front building has a closed sign on it, but the showers can be purchased from the building further back. There are outlets if you want to blow dry as well.

Still open , beds are nice. full of dust inside. nice refuge to stay and rest. keep it close with the wire and rope please!

3000 for 2 people in minivan. Friendly owner. Good shelter from the wind. Big common room with cooking facilities. Wi-Fi OK.

no overnight parking of trucks or rvs allowed. see photos updated from google maps nov 2022.

Comfortable, clean, very friendly, good coffee shop, secure parking around the corner. We had room 310 with a view to the church and the mountains. Paid 35$ per night after negotiating and showing a possible special offer at booking. Decent Breakfast

Very friendly & fast Service, also clean and good food too. We had a menue (12000 COP), but they also have a la carte. Open 7 days a week from 8am, also here is a sign in the Restaurant which says, Servicio de Hospedaje con Parqueadero.

Get ready to get ShhAakkkEe on the road to get there from the highway 200, it is pretty slow (no more than 10~20km/hour) due to the tractor track - it’s like if you getting thought 1 million TOPE. BUT, the place is pretty cute and cheap to stay (we pay 200 pesos/night), that being said, it’s ok if you want to pass by but for 5 days trip and more, might be not ideal:
1- They don’t have much space with shades on the site
2 - They don’t have running water for your van (only a sink where you can fill a hot shower bag)
3 - they don’t have shower YET (I think they are renovating, see my pictures)
4 - The toilet is very basic (no cover and you need to flush by adding water)
5 - Since it’s a lagoon, you got Moskitos in the morning and at night.
6 - They have a small restaurant which is expensive (200 for a basic hamburger) and only 1 or 2 other choice available.
7 - Getting food in the village is very limited, only few few options. More option in the island in front.
8 - No ATM around, you need to pay cash. Only option if you need money is to go on the island and pay 10% interest rate in convenience store : « Christian » (they other shop on the island is 15% interest 💰)

The place is really quiet and we are literally alone but we wouldn’t stay here that long if we didn’t had to work during the day … the spot is very beautiful tho ..

On a side note, they only speak Spanish ✌️

As described, still like new. 100k for a twin bedroom to the backyard/parking lot with mountain view. The front rooms face the busy and noisy streets. They also have cheaper rooms with no windows. Our room no. 402 is recommended. Hot shower and relatively quiet. They offer breakfast for 14,5k which is eggs of your choise with a cornbread, fruit salat, juice coffee and tea. Safe parking.

Very amazing good service very good food

Decent accommodation, paid 50 bol per person for a double room. Space to safely store bikes. Good showers, good wifi, barely any other guests. Has a kitchen, though hours are limited to 1600-2200 but was definitely a bonus. Everything was really clean, and watched them clean the bathrooms a couple times a day. Did our laundry in the roof sink, with lots of space to hang to dry. Breakfast was 15bol per person, kinda lame, just a bun with some jam, half a banana, and some yogurt.

Highly recommend this place, the indeed really lovely owners prepared a vegetarian dish and offered fresh Jugo de frambuesa. The restaurant is warm and they offer main dishes, cakes, coffee and tea and more.

No problem here today. It’s Thursday, nothing all the road.

we drove past and there is still tons of vans and RVs parked along the highway up to Malibu

The Shangi-La it ain't. Just a rather large dirt lot right across the highway from Picacho Peak State Park. We ended up here after not being able to get a space at the park. It is sandwiched between the highway and the train tracks, and as such is VERY loud. Oh, and the train comes by like every five minutes, as if on a loop. When we were there, there were a couple of other folks camped in the lot. It didn't feel UNsafe, but it was a little on the sketchy side. Lots of discarded beer bottles, mattresses and other trash strewn about. We would try parking at the gas station across the road before we would stay here again. 0/10, don't recommend.

Big parking area, some trucks in and out. We parked our van on the car side very little cars. clean restroom. potable water. large area to walk your dog.

very nice place for a small van or car with rooftop tent, but I would not like to put my tent here on the ground. lots of rubbish when we were here.
BUT at the end of this place there is a very small path that follows the river, passes a fence and leads to an amazing place! this is only accessible by foot. it's even very difficult to get a bicycle here. flat grass under the trees, clean, wind protected + view over a nice field. this is private property but the owner is nice and even would like to make a campsite here (probably not gonna happen soon). keep it clean!

It is forbidden to stay here for the night!

Spent all our 3 nights in New Orleans at Boomtown Casino without any issues whatsoever. Parked at the RV parking spots in the corner of the parking lot which you reach by turning left at the first stop sign after entering the premises.

It's a little far out from New Orleans, but that means that it is quiet. With the security and regular presence of police, we felt safe at all times.

I supect that you could literally spend days on end here. While we were away for most of the day, we usually stayed for a few hours in the morning and came back before dinner. Had our Starlink out on the grass for most of the time.

Lots of other campers around as well as a few trucks. Restrooms can be used at the hotel.

Would stay again given the opportunity.

Very nice and clean hotel with secure covered parking for cars and motorcycles on the back, and open spaces on the front that fit big rigs and trucks. 28.5 US$ for a room (just me). Attached buffet restaurant for supper. Breakfast included in the price. Good wifi. My room had AC, TV, small fridge and a good shower. There are cheaper rooms on the parking lot level without AC or fridge. Hotel right near the highway.

very beautiful small hotel, with parking, clean and not expensive, 350 a 55o pesos

Spent the night at this Cracker Barrel without any issues. Asked inside if it was okay to stay the night, and they gave their permission. Has 5 RV parking spots (if I remember correctly), as well as a back lot with room for campers, etc.

At least 4 RV's and 3 trailers were parked here for the night at the same time as us.

We were just able to reach the Cracker Barrel WiFi with our laptops, however it was very slow.

Relatively quiet considering how close it is to the Interstate.

Here you can pay the TIP for the car without fees. Its just a 5 minute walk from the border (even if they say its 20 minutes or you need a taxi 😂)

Beautiful café, brand-new. The best coffee in town, and also delicious sweets and sandwiches. Good WiFi, enough space to work there. Open every day (except Monday) from 15:30 o'clock. We recommend!

We ask there, they dont have a menu, no coconuts and no vegetarian options. We left.

Nice place to park in winter! Large parking in the front but also a few spot behind the building with access to shower, toilet, kitchen and hook up (15amp), Wi-Fi for 20$+. They will also give access to their laundry machine if needed..
Food and local beer La Chasse Pinte are excellent! Go for the IPA!! Happy camper!
