Check-Ins

Nice place, we were alone all night. It is quiet and calm

Free camping at Kiwanis Rest Area, but please leave a donation to help with maintenance costs! Good for an overnight stay!

This dumping station is located at the east end of the parking lot close to the building.

we did the loop and its deffinetly amazing. All the hikes in this park are amazing, but maybe the mosts are sierra nevada and this one. And this one brings you to the prehistoric age... it's just wow. we stayed here in autumn season and the coloful it's totaly crazy. really loved this place.

Not free. $8 a night. Ranger came by. Water spiket didn’t work at all.

Djibril is turning his garden into a campement. Basic now, but Djibril is working on it. He has two rooms, and lots of place in the garden to park your vehicle (shadow places under big trees). African toilet and bucket shower. 2000cfa per person per night (both for camping and the room). He has mountainbikes for rent! Exceptional in this region.

Djibril can organize dinner for you. 3500 cfa per plate. Didnt try it.

Djibril is a very friendly guy who is willing to show you around (he is a guide also, speaks a bit of English and Spanish). Gives you lots of fruits.

If you come in May, June, July or August there are traditional initiation festivals around. In September/October there are football tournaments around. During raining season he can organize pirogue tour. Dont know about the price though. Ask Djibril. +221 77 958 50 54 (he has whatsapp).

We went there in May 2023 and got a private room for 2 people for 800 pesos. It’s very homie, huge balcony with ocean view (we were on the second floor). It can be kinda loud especially on a Saturday night as the walls are pretty thin. I would recommend!

Next to old Cabela, no fresh water, no other amenities.

This area is currently closed to camping.

Not WITHOUT a filter! Do not drink it!!!!!

Quoted us $5500 per car in a shared container. Eduardo quoted $4500 for the entire container. Waaaay overpriced. The problem is Wave already found someone to share the container with. Contact me if you’re that person - shipping to US in June 2023. @the.vandersons

nous avons passé 3 jours et 2 nuits en immersion complète dans la famille de Maru, dans la communauté du dragon endormi.. L'occasion de découvrir un tourisme différent, communautaire et lon des sentiers battus.. nous avons vécu a leur rythme, découvert leur cuisine, été initiés a l'agriculture et au tissage. Nous avons pu découvrir les fabuleux paysages de la région au travers de belles marches, notamment sur la tête du dragon...
Si vous êtes attirés par ce genre de tourisme responsable et communautaire, loin du tourisme de masse, vous pouvez contacter Inti, guide franco bolivien de la Paz qui pourra vous organiser le séjour (WhatsApp : +591 69747761)
nous y avons séjourné avec notre camping car

..if I am not changing this description that means we found a spot on the beach where nobody bothers you or needs money or police acts funny (in this area)
downside:
Low tide is not friendly dooo
but hey you have 4G on the beach outside of the town!!
Never happened before that in Mexico :D

Good spot. Clean restrooms. Significant semi truck idling noise at restroom parking lot. Parking lot at the trailhead is quieter but there is no getting away from the very bright street light. Make sure your rig has blackout curtains or similar.

We were traveling with TMC and had 3 kids, aged 6,12 and 15. When buying our tickets, we had a small discussion with the lady at the counter, because kids were not allowed. Because we had a WhatsApp text with confirmation of our booking and that we were travelling with the 3 kids, they allowed us to board the ferry. We felt lucky that they agreed to let us go with the ferry... we paid 15.000 pesos for a motorhome that is 9.8 meters and 5 persons.

What a great place and lovely, helpful staf. You have to see the rooms to understand the charm. Very spacious, well decorated, nice fireplace, kitchen, nice bed, great shower and 180 degrees lake view. There is a secure parking space downstairs at the lake side (please do not try the narrow gate upstairs, this is not the place where to park). 70 USD per night (via Booking.com), well worth it.

Lots of police cars, but we were not stopped 😀 We drove about 50 km/h...

gate was closed right before this spot. don't waste your time driving all the way up. lots of wash board in the road

El Oro is the last place to restock on supplies before tackling the big uphill towards pucara. there's a big next to her football field that the locals use as their well by disconnecting the pipes and filling their buckets or bottles.

there's a few houses on the way up the hill but it might be difficult to get any help at all from them.

Couple of nice parking area, within the state forest, need to register, 11$, right at the trailhead of a trails network

Parked in the second parking lot. Cars coming and going during the day time for hiking but at night it was somewhat quiet. Close to the road and you could hear the traffic but overall not bad for the night

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon and found the area only about 1/3 full. Several sites with established flat pads for RV/trailer and some sites had tent pads too. Other sites are more primitive with short uneven access/parking and rocky ground.
There is also a singe group camp site with a large open lot.

If the campground is full there are a few primitive camp sites farther down the road. The road ends 2 miles past the campground. At the end of the road is a tight turnaround loop that'll be no problem for for vans and trucks but may be difficult for trailers. Consider dropping the trailer the picnic area (near the campground) and scouting the road and turnaround points.

AT&T cell signal using an iPhone 14. Bounced between LTE and 5G. Calls and texting were no problem, Data speeds slow but enough for email and light internet browsing. With a better antenna or booster could probably have steady 5G.

We just filled up with water here. There is a sign saying it is potable.

Nice place as described
You can pay only for showers 2 dollars

Elkhorn Valley and Canyon Creek Recreation Sites are closed. The Bureau of Land Management has confirmed that Elkhorn Valley and Canyon Creek were heavily damaged by wildfire.
