Check-Ins

Extremely neat and tidy campsite. First time in a long time that no levelling block was necessary for the caravan.The owners keep their fingers on the buttons. They are very helpful regarding local info. It was freezing cold, but Jurg warned us beforehand. Being no experts, the stargazing tour was very good.

Only desert, horses and goats. Quiet
Before the natural reserve when there’s an advertising that you can’t go inside the protected natural area.

The best shower that I’ve had on the road. Staff is super friendly, showers were clean and well stocked private rooms, the water is hot, and the water pressure was incredible. 10/10. Showers only available to non-guests from 11am-2pm, probably because there are only two showers and they don’t want to inconvenience guests.

Spent almost 2 weeks here and really enjoyed it. 2 adults and 2 cats (free) = $350MX/night. They have garafons of water for sale in the office for 25MX. 2 commons areas with fireplaces and a kitchen. Hot water showers and clean bathrooms. The staff were friendly and allowed us to have some Amazon packages shipped to the campground while we were there. There’s a lavandaria down the street (5ish minute walk). 25ish minute walk to the zocalo. Rainy season was in full swing while we were there. Heavy rain 10 out of 12 days, often in the afternoon and often with strong lightening. It hailed 5 times while we were there. Lost power once. Too many trees for starlink but there’s great wifi at the campground. Be sure to check for the Chiapas Bloqueos FB group before traveling to San Cris. Our expected 1 hr drive from Tuxtla turned into a 5 hour disaster on tiny mountain roads. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and don’t enter through the city unless you have a small vehicle. We were forced to this because of the blockades and barely made it without hitting anything/anyone driving a GMC Sierra 2500 with truckcamper.

Feel free to reach out with questions.

Stayed here 2 nights and really enjoyed it. The cool air was perfect and it was quiet at night. The first night we were charged $320 for 2 people. The 2nd night I questioned the price and was allowed to pay $200 for 2 people. The bathrooms were clean. There must be a small hot water heater because my husband’s shower was hot but mine was cold. There are many sweet stray dogs here. Bring some kibbles for them. Would have taken the sweet tan-colored pup with us but we’re already a full house with 2 cats in our truck camper. There are a few small tiendas in town but looking back I wish we had stopped at a big grocery in Comitan as there’s nothing like that between here and Palenque on 307.

Feel free to reach out with questions.

We slept one night here. Good place for a night. It was a lot of noise because of the trucks crossing by the road and parking here. There is a restaurant and a hotel (and it has wifi). Also, there is 4G Claro signal.

giant parking lot just past downtown. stayed overnight in my RV and had no issues whatsoever

Still here and still AMAZING. My husband and I went here 3 times while in San Cristobal. Wish I could have gone more! Tasty chocolate croissants, pepitos, lemon tarts, and ice cream 🤤

pedimos autorización a los policías municipales para poder usar el parqueo público y pernoctar por una noche

Large enough for 4 vehicles. Next to creek with a waterfall. Large pine trees.

Workshop only / Recommended by a friend who had his chain/cassette replaced. We went there to service/clean/grease our bearings and they did a great job. Picked up the bikes the next day. Price was 180Bol for 2 bikes.

Lugar lindo, super tranquilo,passamos noite bem sossegadas e tranquilas... tem banheiros públicos, e alguns bebedouros espalhados pela orla da lagoa, um amplo espaço para caminhadas, rodeado por uma reserva natural cheio de pontos turísticos e históricos pra conhecer, muito lindo, vale super a pena passar pelo menos uma noite, ficamos 4 dias...ficamos durante o dia de semana, então não sei como são as noites durante o fim de semana...sei que nos fins de semana possui algumas atividades turísticas como pedalinho, passeio de charrete etc...é bem movimentado pelo que me falaram...

not illegal. is just trying to shut down all the camping spots in tacoma

I planned to stay a couple of nights but it was so nice I stayed for 2 weeks. The owner is very friendly and has lots of knowledge about the area and took me on a hike to see some local ruins up the mountain. It was difficult to leave... Santa Maria is a friendly place and Camping El Sol is a nice tranquil base.

We paid 10$ just to set up wherever with our tent. No fire rings, which was a big shame. Bathrooms are absolutely gross, but for the price at least you have running water. In the ladies’ the toilets do not have doors which close. That was all fine until at night (around 11 pm) a repetitive, electrical noise started. It sounded as if someone was drilling behind our heads. We moved to the car cause we couldn’t sleep. Generally, a poor experience but cheap.

Ficamos de 18 a 21/04/2023. Trata-se de área com restrição para receber RVs. O estacionamento não é permitido, apenas tolerado. Passível de multa. Tivemos que pedir autorização a Prefeitura que recomendou não abrir toldo; colocar cadeiras, tapetes ou roupas do lado de fora; jogar lixo no chão. Não pagamos nada. Foi-nos dada uma autorização escrita.
Tem ponto de água e luz. No último dia, fomos abordados por fiscal da empresa de energia que disse não ser permitido usar os pontos de luz.
Não possui internet.
A cidade é pequena e linda. O local é privilegiado, próximo a bares, restaurantes e comércio.
Dois dias eh suficiente.
As associações de campistas deveriam fazer um trabalho institucional junto a prefeitura, visando obter permissão de, ao menos, duas (2) vagas autorizadas.

Still a nice place to camp, for only 500$. Arrived late so didn't use showers. Toilets clean and with soap.

There is a single sign for no RVs and trucks but, there's probably half dozen RVs and just as many semis parked in the back part of the lot. Safe area with a little road noise and solid cell service.

Nice spot but lots of mosquitoes this time of the year!
Make sure you have mosquito screens or similar.
The road is very quiet. There’s only traffic from and to Atlin. Almost no traffic at night.

absolutely beautiful creek in wooded campsite. down a paved road for ATVs.

There are no gas stations in this area.. But you can buy diesel and gasoline at this little shop! We bought around 30L for 1.800 pesos per liter. A bit more expensive, but great option if you’re heading to the national park.

Still in good working order. Also a garbage dumpster and a green space nearby to walk dogs.

Simple pull off in the forrest. Wild campfire ring present. I occasionally see other rigs camping here.

pasamos 3 noches acá.. llegamos en la noche y un poco oscuro pero al final resultó ser el lugar más tranquilo que encontramos.

we spent 3 nights here.. we arrived at night and a bit dark but in the end it turned out to be the quietest place we found.

Very hard to find a level spot - using levelers will help! Peaceful, quiet night.. just us and the cows. Great space if you have a dog! Bathrooms are not bad. Great cheap spot that is better than sleeping on the streets near town. The town can get very loud at night, especially on weekends. The rock formations are just okay. We featured this campsite and las piedrotas on our YouTube - https://youtu.be/CGqpkQrQQzc

Lugar muito tranquilo e seguro para passar a noite, fora que a cidade é muito acolhedora.

Nice sheltered campsite at the NE end of Middle Park, in Beef Basin. This is also the TH for the short hike to 10 Ruins, and there are another set of ruins just above the campsite. There is another bigger spot to camp just to the south at at an old drill hole. This campsite is hidden behind some high rocks so does not get sun until later in the morning. Note that anything beyond the road and camping area is wilderness.

Very clean. Lots of washers and dryers. I did a small load for $5 total.

flat camp are off the pass enough room for 2 rigs. beautiful views.

great spot. amazing views. great place to view the stars.
