Check-Ins

Stayed here last night with two vans, and it was beautiful and secluded. Lots of bugs this time of year. This morning around 10:15am the Marina (marines / coast guard?) showed up with their guns. Three of them surrounded the vans while one of them walked around. My wife asked if everything was ok and they said yes. Looked out the photo copies of our passports and went away. Weird and stressful for no reason (apparent to us at least)

Gated camping with friendly host and many people monitoring driving and walking gates, feels safe. 38.50 R per person and per motorhome for non-members this time of year. No Wi-Fi, vivo cell coverage surprisingly poor, no kitchen, bathrooms older but functional and LOTS of cats will want to camp with you. There is a warm water tank for one shower at the facilities near the gates. Many long term or permanent setups. Seems like lots of people live there full time. Bike path in front along the beach is nice and goes for many kilometers. Amazing beaches and hiking nearby.

Wide open natural beach with trees and small dunes. Cars and a bus pass by to drive on the sand, seems to be an established road. We asked a local family if we could wild camp on the beach, they said if you don’t leave garbage or make loud noise, no one will complain. It is off-season. Busy season may be different. Short walk on beach to public area has bathrooms and outdoor showers. Beautiful spot!!

the campsite is still under construction, but we are allowed to camp here. Michael opened the gate for us and said we could camp for free , a donation would be appreciated. the place is spacious and clean, immediately they raked the space we had chosen and the donkey was lit. even though the bathroom is not entirely finished, the toilet and shower is working and neat. we are staying 2 days and had a walk to the baobab. our dog was also allowed in.

Communal showers are clean and free, water is mildly warm. Lockers to put your stuff in for 25¢.

300 ARS for a Fiat Ducato. We were asked for fruit, but bananas and apples are no problem.

The road is now nearly completely paved again. As a motorbike you don't have to wait at all and can drive past the oncomig traffic no problem

Lots of RVs vans and car campers. Definitely hear the road noise, but the parking lot is large enough to spread out.

Great spot overlooking the reservoir. Pulled in to one of the pull offs and had no issues.

Large sand pit, looks like dried up lake or water reservoir. Stayed for 4 nights, great spot for off leash dog exercise, over the weekend lots of local kids are going nuts on their quads and dirt bikes. Highly recommended outside of weekends.

Meh, It’s ok for one night. Saw a coyote within being there for 10 minutes around 4pm, lots of red ants and tons of flies! (Don’t leave your doors open even a minute.)

A trucker came around sunset to nap, left at 9pm. Overall felt safe and I’m a solo female. You’re not at all hidden from the highway tho.

Sunrise was stunning!

No access to the beach bummed me out.

tightly packed in RV park right off I40. $45/ night for 30amp w/ full hook-ups.
that price is for 2 adults each additional person is $2 (no charge for kids or pets).

Informal sites between Big Tree Trailhead and Lost Lake Campground; right side of the road. Several informal sites along the road to Lost Lake. Clean bathroom at Big Tree Trailhead.
Lost Lake Campground also looked like a nice USFS campground $12/ night, but we opted for a free site.

En Federación dicen que no permiten Motorhomes, en algunos sitios (termas) hay cartel, pero no así en el resto de la ciudad. En esta YPF pedimos permiso y nos permitieron, hay WIFI Y BAÑOS 24 horas.

Outdoor store with everything you need. I asked where I could fill some Jerry cans and he told me there is a hose on the side of the building I can use. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Très bien.
200 Dirhams la nuit avec petit déjeuner.
Très très bon petit déjeuner

As said still very much possible to overnight here just avoid the beach because it is forbidden to drive on it. The marker is right behind a big sign that states the above (you literally can't miss it).

We parked further south at the palapas and had a quiet night. Police came by at about 9pm and said nothing to us. The water is very swimmable with only a little surge. A hidden bonus for us was the bioluminescence in the water at night! Try stirring the water after sundown to check it out.

Spot nearby the lake, the last 50m a little bit downhill, but doable. The beach is sandy and flat, the water clear and calm. Fireplace and rustic toilet available. There is enough space for 2-3 RVs. Feels like paradise. Quite and away from the village, great for more than one night.

“No servicio”

Although situated at a pretty site and with a big billboard and open gate, they don’t welcome guests at the moment. It’s also a very bizarre and awkward vibe - The animals don’t look healthy at all and the place is currently not taken good care off.

We went to one of the mirador sites, which was great!

Lovely campsite, excellent owner very helpful, toilettes and showers old but very clean, one electric point for the van, we were here off season, so we were the only ones in the campsite, hot shower was great, lovely fishing village, when the fishing boats come back , sea lion is comes up near the pier and fishermen throw some fish to him, wonderful long walks over the beaches and cliffs, good views from the light house. We really enjoyed our stay here

as addition to the above we paid 10.000 CLP for 2 people and the van, per night.

Now it says 5$ or 25$ for the season. And it is not useable for a European camper. You need a standard north American one with pipes.

Just a heads up - two soldier in full armour woke us up at 4am.
Just a regual check I guess and they left once they realized we're just tourists camping here.

Lot of space, quiet, even if close the road, many hikers. We had a very good night.

$5 cash fee with America the Beautiful Pass. Campsites were plentiful, clean, quite, great views. Pit toilets were exceptionally clean.

Stayed a few nights here while exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I had trouble getting to it at first, my navigation kept taking me to a back entry to the lot. There was parking there, but it’s fenced off so cars can’t get into the plaza from there. I realized that it’s because I have my navigation set to avoid toll roads and I-80 is a toll road. I paid the toll the first night to get in. It was a fairly peaceful night, some of the trucks rolling through were a little loud. The showers and coin laundry are located in the “Trucker Lounge” which anyone can just walk into without issue. There is even a vending machine in the laundry room with detergents, shampoo, and soap if you need them.
I noticed the area my navigation originally tried taking me to had a gate that can be walked through (not big enough for a car) so the second and third nights I stayed I parked over there to avoid the toll. This lot seems to be used by the staff that work in the plaza, but no one said anything about me staying there. This lot is probably not do-able if you’re in anything bigger than a van or small RV though.

Private RV-Park with lot of places directly at the port. Full hookups or dry camping possible. Clean restrooms, hot showers and dump. All places with fire pits. Bit pricey 65$ for dry camping. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Nous avons passé une après-midi et nuit dans ce beau spot. L'accès est recommandé pour un 4x4, le chemin est caillouteux avec des ornières. Nous avons beaucoup aimé nous balader jusqu'au désert de sel et découvrir cette étonnante surface d'un blanc scintillant. Il faisait très chaud et nous avons été assaillis par des abeilles assoiffées. Bien que nombreuses, elles n'étaient pas agressives et se sont finalement agglutinée sur une éponge mouillee mise à leur disposition un peu à l'écart.

We stayed here one night. No issues, no other campers, just us. Super quiet and walked our dogs on the nearby trail next to highway.

When driving past the laguna you go through a military checkpoint. They looked through our car, searching for drugs or arms, they said it's a common smugling route. They also said that it's not alowed to drive with jerry cans here, because the border is so near, even though we told them that we are not going to Chile. After some talking and us wanting to go back and find another route, because we needed the gasoline for the planed route, they let us through. Maybe additional problem was that we have a Chilean plate, but they didn't mention that, so if you have jerry cans, I would suggest you go around the laguna to avoid the military control (I hope there is none).
