Check-Ins

park here all day at the beach for free. fit our 21 ft van. parallel parking on one side street and pull in spots on the other

Fifteen minute drive down a sandy road, 4wd preferred but we made it in our transit connect with fwd. The road was pretty packed down but there were moments of losing traction. The weather was ideal, so maybe after a big rainstorm it would look different. It’s also another five minute drive to the Batona campsite, which you can reserve spots at online, with fire rings and water etc and I think is $5pp per night.

It sits right on the Batona trail which is a 50 mile trail that runs the length of Wharton state forest. We went on a hike to Apple Pie hill took a few hours and was really beautiful and wild.

This camp spot at these gps coordinates is right off the road, big and open. It can fit a few cars and we were the only ones there in March on a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. But I could see this spot being popping mid-season. There was a pseudo-fire pit and some cool trails to walk down.

If you keep going down the road toward Batona campground there’s a pull off to the right with a few more spots before you hit the bridge.

We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, it was super peaceful and quiet, just a few jeeps drove by on Sunday afternoon because the sandy road sets it off the main highway quite a bit. Definitely the best dispersed camping I’ve found so far near philly, only an hour away. Also recommend stopping by The Evergreen dairy bar on route 70, 10/10 chili dog.

Overall, great spot, serious gem.

Away from the usual noise and light pollution and supposed to be the darkest place in Qatar. Access fine for all vehicles and swimming possible although shallow at low tide.

Came here to crash the night before crossing the border. Huge puddle blocking the entire road right before the campground. I walked it in my sandals and it is very shallow but muddy. Didn’t want to risk it at dark alone and with only 4WD

Sorry; my phone autocorrected to “4WD” from “AWD”. Mud puddle would be fine in 4WD I’m sure

Very noisy, they organize lots of events (weddings, etc) and those days you'r not allowd to eat at the restaurante, using the Pool nor shower. Better staying at Cabaña Mar y Sol, beside Hotel Cataviento if looking for a cheap option or at Sirenito Camping with ta turtle rescue project.

Nice quiet night. Park is basically a dog park in a very nice neighborhood which is worth exploring on foot. Note that this site is probably not suitable for anything larger than a class b.

Same great place, with some improvements - a new entrance and the common area is fixed up a bit.

Dora as always is accommodating. She took 20 USD in lieu of 350 Pesos.

A good quiet, safe, peaceful night.

An absolute beautiful area. Even the Walmart down the road is spectacular though There are no overnight parking signs everywhere at the Walmart. No signs prohibiting you from staying at this Home Depot but we were very paranoid about getting kicked out just because it’s a great one! But we didn’t, completely undisturbed.
Cleanest bathrooms for the morning. When they open at 6 AM though, it’s very loud! 😂

This place is permanently closed.

Welcoming and friendly! Stopped here on the way to San Felipe from Ensenada. Piedad greeted us outside even though the restaurant was closed for the evening. She exchanged information with us, invited us for breakfast, and ensured we would be safe for the night. The bathrooms are sparkling clean. Practice your Spanish before you get here!

Large store, only a few other RV and vans stayed. Lot quieted after 1000p
Otherwise all was good

Passamos 1 noite aqui. Tranquilo, porém começa a circular veículos logo de manhã. @naestradacomleao

Un buen lugar para pasar una noche. Es tranquilo e iluminado. Encontramos una toma de energía eléctrica y recargamos baterías. Amanecimos frente al mar.

very nice place, many people in the evening, but after 23 hours it is calm and save (cameras)
great sunset over the river!

I wasn't able to find this place.

Sehr ruhig in der Nacht, auch am Tag trotz Baustelle nebenan. Die Polizei sah uns und ließ uns gewähren. Wenig Schatten durch einzelne Bäume

really really nice hostel whit 2 building next each to other. the owner Pierre Alain is very kind and there is a possibility to park motorcycle inside the yard. paid 15usd for a very comfy dorm bed. the place is super clean added whit great vibe !

Lugar tranquilo, 120 soles para dos personas y el carro, con energía y uso de todas las instalaciones incluida la piscina, 80 soles sin energía, pero negociamos 4 días por 60 soles el día con energía. tratar con Richard, el socio mayoritario, no es bueno para negociar.

lugar tranquilo, 120soles duas pessoas e o carro, com energia e usar toda as instalações inclusive a piscina, 80 soles sem energia, mas negociamos 4dias por 60 soles por dia com energia. negocie com o Richard o sócio mais velho não é bom de negociar.

I just got towed while parked! They hook up my van because it’s a private property and you need a decal! Cost me $550 plus Uber ride! Don’t do it!

Awesome little coffee shop where they roast their coffee and cocoa beans on-site. The young owners have a passion for coffee, cocoa and love to educate customers on the product industry in Mexico. They sell coffee, cocoa products, mole and have a small restaurant next door. Short walk from the Trailer Park Las Americas to enjoy this amazing little cafe.

there is a workshop at this spot and i talked to the owners that it’s not allowed to park there for free

40 soles for single room, good location, lots of motorcycle shops and a vehicle wrapping shop across the street that can do it in 2 days for 250 soles

I wasn't able to find this place.

Passamos uns 5 dias aqui. Pegamos energia na barraca da Wilane ( barraca camurupim ). Pegamos água e usamos banheiro e wi-fi no restaurante do Jardel ( Paradise beer ). Muito tranquilo e seguro todos os dias, movimento um pouco maior final de semana mas ainda sim é tranquilo.

We parked outside for free. 50 cent pp to visit the lagoon, it isn't so nice..  not worth it for us.

Estacionamos afuera gratis. 50 centavos por persona para conocer la laguna, que nisiquiera es tan linda.. no vale la pena para nosotros.

Came back on a Tuesday. Can confirm dryers are Free on Tues, Wed, Thur. Also, free wifi.

No crossing ob bicycle possible. You have to pay 20 JD exit fee and also the coach you have to take. In total we argued a lot about the price, all in all we paid 30 US dollar for the transportation.

very open spacious area with a lake. flush toilet and shower nearby

Dump station + potable water fill for $10.
