Check-Ins

The spot is nice…. However the traffic is fairly constant…. A car goes by every 30 seconds and I am here on a Monday. The road is right next to you so you hear it. Nice view and lake but be mindful of the traffic. If that doesn’t bother you this is a nice stop for a night.

The guy working here is awful. I was going to inquire about camping but sign says closed and the lot is bare and ugly. I saw the guy working and began to inquire about things. Deciding not to camp, I asked if they had showers if I were just passing through, he said $15. I asked USD? His response “or you can give me $20 Canadian”.
Def do not recommend this place.

Nice guy, couldn’t fill our bottle though even with adapters.

the location is now closed, I got turned away. please update the status as closed. thanks

nice place... interesting arrangements of shower and hate those no seat high commode toilets! Giovanni was awesome to help I'm getting a SIM card! nice spot, may stay longer than a night! There is actually power but will need long cord depending on where the van is parked!

cheapest gas in the area and fresh water spigot

adding photo, good clean potable water, RV dump site next to the blue spigot

Nice and basic BLM campground. Reserve online. Campground host here in warmer months and will check you in. This is the correct location of this camp. The other entry nearby is for this camp and wrong location. Careful not to get confused thinking there are two camps, there are not just this one.

Great view! Lots of campers and lots of spots to choose from. 2 bar T-Mobile.

The only Wi-Fi I’ve found around this location. It works good inside and the place is clean

Filled propane here (by weight), all good, friendly staff. Little convenience store there as well.

It's still 350 pesos for a room. Pretty basic, but has hot water, A/C and wifi.
At the restaurant we had a basically rice/beans/salad/tortilla meal with a soda for 70 pesos.
Still has secure parking for motorcycles and smaller vehicles. A Sprinter would fit, but not much bigger.
There is no signage on the building except an "Open" sign near the front door.

Here are a couple more photos that I forgot to add with my check-in. Hope I've typed at least 40 characters.

pay at 7/11 (/in Exxon)

water: 5$/gal
use dumpstation: 10$

all FREE if you purchase at least 10gal or fuel

Shower is $9.5 for non guest. 6 separate stalls. Water pressure is good.

According to Gaia GPS map this is just outside the West Yellowstone city border on Custer Gallatin National Forest where dispersed camping is allowed as long as you're away from Trailheads, established campgrounds, etc. Additional rules apply so check their comprehensive camping guide which you can find online.
We camped here because all other forest roads we tried still had significant snow cover making them impassable for our 2WD Promaster, or were closed (15 May 2023) such as the South Plateau road 1700 which leads to the many dispersed campsites you can see south of this spot on iOverlander.
It's not particularly beautiful, but it provides for a night a 5min drive from the West Yellowstone entrance. We were the only ones. Ground is level with compacted gravel, dry despite the intense snow melts. Plenty of space to go for a walk in the forest (be bear aware). Fair phone reception, restaurants, bars, shops, gas, etc. just a few minutes away. There's a little creek carrying water, but most likely dries out in summer.

This is a wonderful place with sprawling meadows and forest. Easy road that zig zags through with countless smaller roads heading to sites. Any size rig can find a spot here. Almost unlimited camping spots of spectacular quality. This is a must stop if you are coming through.
1 to 2 bars Verizon LTE depending where you are.
Much of the area has no coverage.

Today we got our certificate. We artived at 10.30 as recommend by Overland Embassy and they said, they need one hour. After 2 hours we left the building to eat something and came back around 2p.m. and we waited for another hour or more. -.-
I would recommend to go there, skip the line outside, go inside and fill out the form there and then come back 3 or 4 hours later.

The ideal spot to spend the night in between Lubango and Benguela. Quiet, a nice view, a lot of space and no bugs…

In addition; good internet reception!

It's 70 Soles for matrimonial now with free motorbike parking. Nice people, they stored a backpack for 4 month for us completely for free.

Paid 95 Soles for one month of motorbike SOAT and also got a Sim. Nice lady. Should be open Monday to Saturday without lunch break.

Everybody assured us, that this route is safe now. There was rain earlier this year, and everything is green. There might also some improvement have been done to the road. There is a section which is rough, but in total it is OK. We are a big camper (5.5t, 3.6m high) and had an average speed of about 23kmh.

Campground with free showers. You need a Discovery pass to visit but its pretty nice

BLM camping. Beautiful spot with a fire pit by Independence creek. Three tall pine trees near the site. Road is challenging, narrow and requires a 4WD vehicle. Amazing 360 views. 3 bars of LTE Verizon. Please, help keep this gem clean.

super nice leveled parking bay next to the Plaza of Prusia. most beautiful town around the area. free, safe, quiet and perfect. Helga the girl from the shop in the middle of the plaza is the most welcoming person we met in peru! she will show you the map and give good advice on what to visit. free toilets during daytime, nearby a super nice restaurant called Tipicos Prusia. this is maybe the most beautiful plaza I've seen in Perú. we visited the other overlanders spots but this is the best by far. 5 minutes away from pozuzo. highly recommended. PS. Helga offered internet but we didn't need it. there is electricity in the restrooms

super welcoming neighbors. police came by and say it's safe. amazing view of the stars beautiful road. nice leveled plaza for any kind of rig

Registration is closed by 6pm. Self check in is possible but is confusing. Sites and prices not very clearly listed. There is “off duty” rangers present on site but they did not seem to be very knowledgeable of site rules. I attempted to ask one for help and she was kind but did not much clarity. Tent sites and group camping where blocked with a barricade so you could not drive a vehicle in. Unsure why. Full hook ups sites where plentiful but expensive. 35$ for Oregon resident, 44$ for non resident. Bathrooms not locked with a code so this is a place you could stop for a quick discreet shower. Would probably be a nice spot but was confusing and not worth the price for us.

100% always ask here but they were super nice about checking in. Sign up for a players card and get free money for slots, food or gas 👍

Stop here to check on shower prices. $7. Decided to go to aquatic center which was much nicer. $5.75 Plus you get access to the hot tub.

Amazing place. $5.75 gets you access to unlimited hot shower, pool and hot tub.
