Check-Ins

This site is closed. We camped here, and the owner knocked on our door to let us know we were on private land and they do not want people camping on this lot. Don't be fooled by the travel trailer and boat parked there. It belongs to them, not a fellow boondocker!

The family running this place welcomed us very warmly and made us feel at home right away. We slept in a yurt (ger), beds were confortable and they made sure the wooden stove was always lit.
The food is homemade and delicious. We had the chance to taste a Kuurdak, national kazakh dish, which was fantastic.
There is a Bania that you can use to have a shower or do your laundry.
Moreover, the owner (Murat) went the extra mile getting us a sim card and insurance for our vehicle.
We paid 120 000 tugriks for 2 persons (1 night, breakfast, lunch & dinner, 1 shower)

You can camp here. People have marked it as closed after I marked it open so there might be some confusion on how to access the beach and the area. If you see a u turn sign for the playa you have gone to far.

Price has raised to 30$ for RV and 10$ for tent with only some 15 amp. outlets. Too expensive, went to Wallmart instead.

Just at the road a flat good underground, but anyway it's not possible to find a hidden place in this area, busy in the evening and in the morning but quiet at night. We heard hyanas at night. Nobody bothered us, good place to go/come from Masai Mara.

It is drinking water with a playground next to the Trans-Siberian Road. It's accessible and the water comes out well.

small forest with a lot of space. We stayed 1 night without problems. Some locals came in the evening. main road is near, you can hear the traffic

The best wine tasting experience we had in SA. If you like red wine and you are tired of fancy hoity-toity wine estates selling bad wine for a fortune, come here, dont waste your time elsewhere. From a French wine lover point of view, it's the best red wine we tried in the area and prices are fair (170-250). The owner and winemaker John is a very passionate person, very genuine, and we spent a whole afternoon with him tasting and talking about wine...
A true and authentic experience. We loved John and his place !

There is a small forest just in front of the park, which has a sunken part where you can perfectly put up tents. In addition, behind the campsite there is also a large park with tall pine trees.

On the very pricey side, this restaurant served us the best food since we left Europe 8 months ago. Dishes are well thought and composed, well cooked, with premium quality sourced food. Lot of vegan options. The view from the terrace is spectacular. Entrée, main dish and dessert, + 1 glass of wine, café and digestif for about 1000 rand pp (including tip). Better book in advance. Everything wasnt perfect of course (dishes needed some acid to balance the fat for example) and the dessert was not at the same level as the first dishes but still, we higly recommend if you want to treat yourself.

They also do wine and olive oil tasting. Olive oil is good, you find some of their oil in supermarket.
In the other hand, we found the wine very mediocre and overpriced. For good wine, go to Camberley Wines, 2 km away.
View from the domain is incredible.

Seems closed but the gate was not locked.
We opened it and entered.
After one hour somekne appeared and preapred a woderfull hot shower for us.
We were alone, very quiet and nice place by the river and very nice guy.
Price 150N$ pppn, accorded 100.

Old style lodge on a ridge overlooking Harare. Rooms to rent and large garden with shade and green grass for camping. Big rig friendly. Easy access to the city.
USD10 pppn

We stayed here overnight. Lovely camp just out of busy Harare. Shade and green grass. Friendly owner Iain.

Great spot. Lots of space. Great view. Quiet. What else can you ask !

Beautifull campsite situated in the middle of the mountains close to Windhoek. Super friendly manager, clean toilets and nice braai places. Sometimes live music on weekends.
Bar and Restaurant (no sure if the restaurant is open only on weekends) with pool and billard close by.

Direktion from Windhoek: drive on the B1 towards the Airport, turn Right onto the Dordabis Road C23,drive straight for abut 50 km until you get the Kamp Vrede Sign on the left - follow the Road until you get the first Arrow to turn right, the next arrow to turn left then you will see the gate for Kamp Vrede

Propane disponible, ils facturent la quantité de propane utilisée pour remplir la bonbonne donc très honnête comme méthode. Pas d’eau disponible par contre

The international card machine is still working! Nice stuff:)

Nos quedamos en total 7 noches, saliendo y regresando algunos días porque necesitábamos usar el vehículo. Hablamos con el guardia de un edificio y nos dijo que no había problema, solamente de no aparcar donde hay banda amarilla. Habían más vehículos de viajeros. Es el lugar más seguro en Lima que encontramos, pudimos dejar varias veces el vehículo sólo sin problema. Para pasear el perro, el malecón es increíble, y la vista fenomenal!
La última tarde (domingo), vinieron los de la fiscalización decirnos que un vecino se quejó y tuvimos que irnos todos.

We stayed here on night. It was a calm and safe night. There’s shower for free.

Short road right below the main road but quiet at night. Landscape is almost nice and not too much rubbish.

Un chemin en cul de sac juste en-dessous de la route. Panorama assez joli et même pas trop d’ordures.

Great view. Grassy plateau next to the gravel road. Some large boulders for wind shield, but can be windy. Plenty of even spots to pitch a tent. Some fireplaces around, but nobody there. Rarely cell reception with TürkTelekom.

Rota do sabor é um empreendimento que vende lanches com preço acessível.
Os proprietários são Jipeiros e Overlander

Great camp site. 500 KSH pp. Hot showers and they have drinks and food available on site.

Thank you for posting! we have asked many places with no result. They filled our gas bottle here. We paid 7000 to fill up our 3kg bottle, needed a lot of negotiation. According to the people here this is the only place in Cameroon.

Small laundry in town. Price 1000mkw per kilo. Washand dry. I haven't used their services so I don't know what's it like. Maybe the next person will update it

It's ok to stay here for a night. Quiet and safe. Bathrooms are dirty.

If you own a truck, go in the truck line. Pay 25.000 Dinar for x-ray, pass it and go to the next checkpoint. They look in your vehicle, then you have to register with your passport at the counter.

We were looking for a place to spend the night with our campervan after driving the first section of the "death road" (8km down & up again).

At the other spot "Next to the main road" we felt too exposed. So we chose this side street which is easily accessible and offers some options to park (probably not for big rigs?).

You are below the main road here, slightly visible still and there was a little "noise" from the trucks passing by. But we felt safe and had a peaceful night.

OK Entel signal.

A small stream of water is crossing the road and continues in the valley.

Tents may find shelter next to some ruins here.

Really a good spot for the night. super quiet and nobody Else than us.

This one is a gem. Less than a mile off the highway, yet a gorgeous panoramic view of tiered cliffs to the East. Easy to get to with 2wd and larger rigs. You'll be fine in whatever youre driving. The pin is at a turnaround on top of a rise, but the area has plenty of more private spots as well. Looks like this was a gravel pit for when they graded the highway. There's a cemetery here for the town of Woodside, which there is little trace of but at its peak in the 1920's had 300 people. graves from as early as the 1860's and a plaque with some history, very cool. River is nearby, and a railroad. I love train noise, but only saw one all night. All BLM and state trust land here except a swath surrounding the defunct service station/ jerky shop just south of the highway turnoff. Very good cell signal and 4g with att. Peaceful, safe and beautiful, no trash here at all. Perfect if you're trying to avoid staying anywhere near SLC while travelling through :) Sorry there are no pics, my camera is busted.
LNT my friends!
