Check-Ins

atrás da prefeitura tem um estacionamento com câmeras, passamos uma noite tranquila.

The 37 km track through the park is a delight, but you need 4x4. This part of the park is thick woodland, so you won't see much except trees. The campsite is a grassy area next to the Kafue River. It is not especially attractive. The views of the river are limited but very pleasant. The toilets and showers are immaculate and there is always hot water. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make a fire in the evening for each site. Otherwise there are no facilities. You are on your own. I paid US$30 SADC rate. The tap water is from the river, but I think it is safe.

Very simple entry into Brazil. Park and follow the signs to immigration/aduana! The toll booths accept card if you to not have Raels.

Nice hot clean showers and bathrooms. To use the showers just ask for keys in the store, free of charge.

on est arrivé dans l'après midi. on est restés dormir ici sans problème, très calme. les gens du coin sont très sympathiques. on a pu acheter un hamster au village pour faire animal de compagnie aux enfants.

I got a knock from Marina security after I took over 30 mins to pic a spot, the first one back by the dog park was noisy with boat equipment knocking around in the wind than I didn't want to be too close to what seemed to be other can dwellers moved again. After I finally picked a spot I pulled out my folding mattress I have in my rooftop cargo bag which takes shuffling a few things between my SUV & the cargo bag. Put up reflectix & was about to call it a night & security rolls up with yellow flash lights & a flashlight & said this isn't for peo to be "dwelling in their cars & leaving their car on idle all night people leave their boats here & the parking is for only people actually using the marina.
After telling him I'm just out hoping to see the Northern Lights he instructed me to move onto the city street behind a can that had been parked for awhile.
Ok so I took my reflectix down & moved. Pulled my dog out for our last walk of the night & put the reflectix back up & chatted said goodnight to a friend for about 15 mins. He came back around no lights on not even headlights. turned around up at the end of the street, stopped & just sat for a second up the street a little & drove by me again. I could hear hos pos car it's not like he was being stealth with no lights on. Pretty creepy. If I hadn't had my GSD with me I would have left. I left by sunrise in the morning & won't be back. this was after driving 30 mins from the state park a little south & some locals showed up with a rifle that didn't look right in the head. I'm waiting on a car part that was ordered to come in & I'm out of this god forsaken state.

The baths were closed. But we parked our van and walked down to the water.. keep walking up until you see the pipes! There’s a small natural pool and it’s so incredibly hot. We loved it much more than being inside and free. Pachamama is truly amazing.

Only space for one vehicle, about 3m wide on cliff, check to see if another vehicle is coming before making the drive around the mountain, not sure why this isn’t listed, especially for wider cars. Photo attached.

No showers available. Can sleep here though. Banos available. Police checkpoint.

Great spot. Many different spots on the river that are perfect for a quiet nights sleep. Stayed here 2 nights as it was such a nice place to walk around.

Signs posted no overnight allowed. I did the lot by Mel’s diner and got a permit from the police station with no issues.

Wide area with camp rings, clean out houses. Very sandy wash to cross. No problem with and without 4WD.

Everyone in this Hostelito is pretty friendly. 100ppp to stay in front and use all the facilities of the place. Also dog friendly even if there is no dog there. We could fill our water tank as well.

Beautiful campground with several dispersed spots, most with picnic table and fire pit. There are walk in (50 to 100 feet walk) sites as well as horse camping sites. Road in campground is in good condition with pretty new gravel. Large frisbee golf course borders campground to east. River runs along southern edge. Verizon 1-bar LTE on east side. WeBoost made it a very usable 3 bars. Starlink works too - most sites have good openings to sky.

At this location is the aduana office. Very hard to find and a very strange place. Its inside the enclosure around the train tracks. You have to enter through the opening in the gate.

Only necessary if you are there with a vehicle. They didn’t really check anything about the vehicles.

um local limpo, posto fecha às 22h lojas até às 20h mais estacionamento pode usar, não procurei saber sobre água e luz. banheiro tem, wi-fi liberado na lavanderia que por sinal vale super a pena. vamos dormir com um bus de 7metros

Spent 6 nights here, felt really safe. There’s people walking around the park, kids playing, skating all day until late night (like 2 am), so it’s a bit noisy but not at all a problem for us. There’s a grocery, a church and some restaurants around the park.

Best spot around!!
Estuvimos 4 noches y súper tranquilo, la policía pasó y no nos dijo nada. estábamos muy cerca de un hotel 4 estrellas que tenía música en vivo por la noche. y pegados a la playa que no podes meterte pero es hermoso dormir al lado del mar.
lo super recomendamos. Nos gustó mucho más la zona de Punta Zicatela que Pierto

Wooden shelter with a roof and 3 picnic tables.
It is brand new. Right next to eurovelo 6.
Ideal for eating in the dry when it rains. 100m before there is a water reservoir (or even a house to fill water bottles)

160kw ppn and I camped next to the lake. wood provided free to make fire. it was really peaceful next to the lake. there are 4 dogs that are super friendly. owners weren't there when I stayed. I enjoyed my stay

Went to these mechanics to fix a stock plastic skid plate that broke after I hit a low flying bird. One of their mechanics was really helpful and drove with me to a few other places to look for a replacement plate. Ultimately he took me to another mechanic who works with plastic and repaired the skid plate - later they installed the repaired skid plate, all of it for 30bobs. It wasn't a difficult job but they have definitely been most helpful!

This is the parking lot for The Ghost and Mavik Lakes Trailhead. No problem sleeping here, very quiet. There is a donation boxe and guest book to sign if you want by the maps. Met locals who were very happy to chat and give tips on which trails to do. Would go again :)

Perhaps it’s not yet high season but we just paid $26 for 2 people unpowered ( same as others 5 days ago). Great spot- good value.

We ate and camped here in a tent while cycling touring. Food was good & cheap ($11 for 2x asados with fresh lemonade) and they kindly agreed to let us pitch our tent down by the river free of charge. We arrived late and left early. There is a small toilet & shower block by the restaurant. Everything you need, nothing you don't!

National forest dispersed camp site, free for up to 7 days. Quiet day and night, abondant fire wood, dirt road access. 2 bars T-Mobile and Verizon.

Great place to stop to fill up water and let the doggos run around while doing so.
The spigot is in the dog park right under the Bee's Marketplace sign and has good pressure. Visibly marked "potable" water so no guessing if it's ok.

Beautiful campground by the creek with an abundance of song birds and magnificent cottonwood trees. Would definitely pay the price to stay here again since dispersed camping is no longer permitted throughout the Sedona region. Welcoming staff and friendly guests made it all that more enjoyable. Encountered some neighborhood critters at the campsite… a skunk, a scorpion, and a fox!

Passamos 3 noites nesse lugar. É muito tranquilo e silencioso. Alguns moradores locais passaram e nos trataram muito bem, inclusive indicando lugares para pescar :) No entanto, na terceira noite, uma mulher apareceu muito descontrolada, sem se identificar e disse que não podemos “acampar” lá. Explicamos que não estávamos acampando, não estávamos na Praia, e sim no estacionamento, mas ela não nos deu ouvidos e foi muito rude. Pedimos para ela chamar a polícia, que se alguma autoridade nos dissesse que não poderíamos dormir lá, iríamos embora. Ela se negou e disse que a polícia não faz a lei, que ela é quem manda na cidade e que não queriam turistas estrangeiros ali. Para evitar maiores aborrecimentos, fomos embora, até Puerto Lopes, que é tão bom quanto :)

We spent 3 nights in this place. It's very peaceful and quiet. Some locals passed by and treated us very well, including pointing out places to fish :) However, on the third night, a woman showed up very out of control, without identifying herself and said that we can't “camp” there. We explained that we weren't camping, we weren't on the beach, we were in the parking lot, but she didn't listen to us and was very rude. We asked her to call the police, that if any authority told us that we couldn't sleep there, we would leave. She refused and said that the police do not make the law, that she is in charge of the city and that they did not want foreign tourists there. To avoid further hassles, we left for Puerto Lopes, which is just as good :)

Tengan cuidado ⚠️ El camping municipal de La Poma, es gratuito! Tanto la oficina de turismo como el municipio informan que nadie te puede cobrar nada.
Explico esto porque el día que llegamos (super tarde y cansados de pedalear) se nos acercó la mujer que trabaja de limpieza y nos vino a cobrar $1000 por persona, un disparate... que si no nos teníamos que ir. No nos quedó otra que pagarle pero al otro día avisamos en turismo y súper avergonzados por la situación nos devolvieron la plata porque nadie te puede cobrar. Anda a saber a cuantos turistas habrán estafado con esa boludes de cobrar entrada o "pago voluntario". Los empleados tiene sueldo municipal, no te pueden venir a cobrar nada extra.
Lo más triste es que nos quedamos dos días y al segundo volvió a hacer lo mismo de querer cobrarnos, obviamente la mande a la mierda...

I stayed here with no problem. I access the waterfront trail in he evening and the morning, no one else ever parked near me. It is three spots in the back of Target, super random but quiet and lit and with a camera so it didn't feel sketchy.
