Check-Ins

24-hour gas station, spacious and quiet; overnight stop for truckers. the place has wi-fi, water available.

Passamos a noite ali. Não conhecemos o dono, mas pedimos para os empregados se poderíamos ficar ali. Autorizaram. Ficamos ao lado dos banheiros, que eram limpos. O café é bem chique e caro, não é um bom lugar para trabalhar. Na manhã seguinte, antes das 8h nos pediram para estacionarmos em outro lugar, porque queriam aquela vaga. Todos muito educados, mas não amigáveis. Para uma noite ok, acredito que para mais de 1 não iriam gostar.

We spent the night there. We don't know the owner, but we asked the employees if we could stay there. Authorized. We stayed next to the bathrooms, which were clean. The cafe is very fancy and expensive, not a good place to work. The next morning, before 8 am, they asked us to park somewhere else, because they wanted that space. All very polite but not friendly. For an ok night, I believe that for more than 1 would not like it.

New signs posted all around the area, no overnight parking.

Price is 1.500 pesos at this time, it's a quiet parking lot, no infrastructure

llegamos 15.00hs, habia varias personas durmiendo en la playa. hay una escalera que baja hasta la playa y es usada como baño. hay camaras y policia en el area.

currently closed/under construction. no construction vehicles present, so you could probably still park a rig here overnight, but theres rough gravel and large piles of gravel in the middle of the lot.

Dormimos duas noites em dia de semana no estacionamento e foi bem tranquilo.
Se pode pagar 1000pesos para que limpem o Porta Potti. Entregam ele limpo e com produto.

We slept two nights on a weekday in the parking lot and it was very quiet.
You can pay 1000 pesos to have the Porta Potti cleaned. They deliver it clean and with product.

Take into acount that fuel is very limited until El Alto/La Paz. Almost all the places out of gas or diesel.

Called and was told the state forest sites are no longer free with a 7 day permit. Must be booked through Reserve America, $10 a nt plus 6.50 unavoidable administrative fee.

I can't believe this place hasnt been listed yet! Its only 20 minutes south of Durango, and SO COOL!

It has plenty of different site options for those who want hookups or no hookups. Plus TONS of ammenities right along the Animas river.

It has complimentary paddle boards, a water slide, volley ball, disc golf, and even the option to add other (paid) adventures on like tubing tours and access to the zip line.

The showers and laundry are free with the stay and the showers are totally private and hot.

There is even an on-site dispensary and cafe that are open daily.

Plus, its honestly super affordable. I am a full-timer who doesn't need any hookups or anything and im staying on the cusp of the season for only $10/ night.

Can't recommend this place enough. Don't be afraid to spread the word, this place is huge and even accommodates music festivals and such! (also, be sure to check their event schedule because they block off camping during events)

As described. No private stalls but the water is hot with nice pressure. There are two hair dryers. They make you take off your shoes at the entrance so bring flip flops or slides. Bring a quarter so you can lock the locker. You can’t use your own lock. Free wifi available here too.

Quiet. Great spot near the water. People partying with music on the weekends though.

Just waved at us, no stopping. seem friendly

We stayed 1 night, good place, nobody bothered us. The old cars are a very nice decoration. No time limit or signs prohibiting overnight.
No Cell signal.
Toilets available but no water.

Nos quedamos una noche aquí, buen lugar, nadie nos molestó. Los autos viejos son una bonita decoración del lugar.
No habían señales limitando el tiempo ni prohibiendo dormir.
No hay Señal de celular.
Sanitarios disponibles pero sin agua.

Highway rest area with toilets, free hot shower and picnic tables.

Highway rest area (Area de descanso), with parking lot, toilets, hot showers and water. It's quite hidden, just few meters behind the highway exit turn right. It's very noisy from the road, but very few cars stops here.

Can be accessed one way or the other. Dump station is on the middle of the road. Accessible for any rig. Very clean, so l'êtes keep it like this. Potable water and rinse water.

Best rim repair shop I have come across in Mexico. 350p to fix the patch job I had done in Tijuana. Not sure the guys name but was recommended this place. Don’t go anywhere else

Fantastic spot.
The trail was very dry so it was easily accessible with my Hyundai Accent. However, it can definitely be difficult in a muddy situation for low cars.
Very calm location, I was the only one on site, but some leftovers from previous campers did leave a trail. Get yourself something fresh to drink to watch the sunset on the white sandy beach!

Found just as described. Very easy to get to.

Spot wasn't super level, but had decent ATT and was pretty quiet. On the weekend there were lots of dirt bikes/ATVs and people shooting. During the week there were some logging trucks passing by. Also you have to drive up a steep switchback road to get here with big drops on edge of road, but road conditions are great and pretty much any vehicle can make it.

🇺🇸 At the police station there is a drinking water faucet, ask the police on duty before using it.

🇧🇷 No posto policial tem uma Torneira de Água potável, peça ao policial de plantão antes de usar.

it looked very closed....and both phone numbers dus not work. we did go to hotel Santa Teresa calle 3 with a safe parking lot for
our van and sleep in a real bed. tomorrow is tuesday, marketday from 7 till noon and we are close by.

Same deal as the Draper Rec Center south of here - $2 showers (between 12pm-2pm only?) or $7 for a full day pass. Big locker rooms with showers, or a couple family restrooms with completely private toilet, sink, shower.

Herman Creek Rd turns into Wyeth Rd on the Historic Route. There’s a lot of good turnouts & some were already occupied.
I pulled into that long service road on the right. Trash & a toilet (non-functional)
Close to Town, the Locals told me I’d be OK here a few days. Enough Phone Signal w Att

Still a good place to dump! And super friendly staff.

As of today entrance is 10,000 Ar$ per person and because of winter season you need either chains or studded tires, "regular" winter tire are not enough
No pets allowed (as said below they ask but don't check)

Usual rest stop with bathrooms, dog walk and vending. Signs posted everywhere for no overnight parking.

There's a locked gate, no entry ⛔ I had to turn around. Google photos on map are old, don't rely on them.

As described, great overnight spot, good gravel road to entrance which was easily passible in my minivan.
Lots of mosquitoes, no cell service.
Other GPS was a little short of entrance, above is sitting on runway.
