Check-Ins

Too many shady people in dispersed campsites in the area so we decided to camp in a KOA. Clean and friendly staff. $39 for tent camping.

A relatively new hotel just off the road (by a confusing junction).

Very friendly staff, lovely clean double rooms with shower, toilet, air con, etc.

They have a pool, restaurant, and very soon a roof top bar.

We got a room for 31,000CFA on booking.com

Secure parking out front

Wonderful State Park campground right along the river. All paved roads in the park and very easy drive to get here from the main highway. Very busy in late spring, but we managed to get a few nights on weekdays. Highly recommend walking the trail along the river! About $40 per night for non-residents.

Notuku Regional Park at Ponteix. Golf course here. Free potable water tap with hose attached on post at septic dump next to swimming pool opposite golf club house.

small village next to the river. Ask around they are happy to bring you to Robertsport either by canoe (around 1,5h - depends on the condition) or speedboat (less than 30min).

canoe: 1000 LD p.p. bicycle possible
speedboat: 4500 LD (for the boat), its unlikely to fill up, so usually you have to pay for the whole boat. (motorbikes possible)

Very bad corrugated road. Unfortunately there were no animals at this view point today.

Camped for one night. Very dusty and it looks like they are adding more campsites or upgrading campsites so there was a lot of sledge hammer noise in the afternoon.
The staff at reception was very helpful and friendly.
The bathrooms: I don’t think there is enough for all the people especially of the big overlander groups stay for a night or two.

Great facility, as described. There were three showers but only one was unlocked when we were there. Wish there were more of these around!

Stayed here again last night, great as always no problems.

Coffee shacks gone

Overnight Truck & RV parking on a gravel lot behind the store.

The camping is really big, the outside area is nice and clean, with a lot of tables, bbq and shady spot. Thankfully not many mosquitoes.
The bathrooms though are the dirtiest we've seen in our trip, there was sh*t everywhere. Shame because there are some brand new bathroom that looked nice and clean but they were closed, apparently they only open at weekends.
Staying here is free but the keeper asked us for an offer, he was happy with 500 pesos. After we've seen the bathrooms and complained he gave us the money back.

Stayed here for one night, pretty nice spot. Close to road but very quiet. Us and one other van camping.

Beau spot . Quelques locals passent dans le rue et regarde mais personne n’est venu nous déranger . Bruit de l’autoroute mais on s’en fou c’est gratuit !

trucks next to us run the generator through out the night, still a good place.

Great location! Being off the highway is wonderful! However people are littering here and pooping in the middle of the lot :( at least go into the bush!

Spent two nights here. Parking on both sides of the street before the official Yosemite sign (parallel on river side; perpendicular on other side to make room for others) Please Leave No Trace, including human waste, so this space stays available!

Was open when everything else was closed out of season. Great food and good portions. Very kind.
Have seen locals coming here

Did over 1200 miles in Mauretania and most of them totally ‘not inspiring’.
This is the one road that gives you the Mauretania you dream of.
Mountains, winding roads, the red sand dunes trying to dominate and the great green contrast of the trees!

Quite a high rockformation covered with sanddunes protecting from direct view from the road, stunning vista, lovely sand all around, great campspot

Fantastic little trailhead parking. A peaceful night with the stream as white noise. I took a nice walk on the Guppy Farms Trail in the morning. Very few cars drove by during the night, and only a couple cars started showing up to go for walks around 8 AM.

10/10 Would Recommend.

Still 10soles for the package.
The museum is still without any information panel, it's a real shame...
Huaca de Arcos Iris and Esmeralda were both closed but nobody told about that.

Big parking lot between the road and the beach. Very calm during the night, only a few cars at the road.
All the lights are broken but we felt safe.

We went there to get the certificate to go to Ecuador with our dog.
All the staff were very friendly.
150soles to get all the veterinary documents for border crossing.

Good spot for the night and very refreshing bath in a natural Pool. There are also toilets and showers you can use. 5Bs pp. We had a quiet night. Guys that are working here were very friendly.

On a Tue afternoon it was already busy and all spots taken. Beautiful lake! No cell service.

Spent 2 nights here, on the way and coming back from the park. Campsite is worth a mention, it is dated but clean, safe and at 150kwacha per adult fair priced. Hot donkey showers all day long, a nice bar area and ample camping area. We feel it deserves more credit then given here.

Lugar ruidoso de día y tranquilo de noche. Seguridad 24 Hs. Dormí 3 noches con permiso y sin problemas.

Impressive rock formations, beautiful landscape, absolutely quiet and cool night!

This is a fantastic spot. Made it just fine in a 4x4 sprinter. Didn’t see anyone for days

classic visitor centre parking lot
with wifi
big rig friendly
