Check-Ins

camping fee is now 12$. lots of mosquitoes. nobody else. the steese highway is awesome.

Magnifique place, si vous continuez le chemin aire de retournement très spacieuse, nous étions seul.

really nice and superquiet during the night. Jorge, the owner is closing the gate in the evening. in the morning he is usually not back before 10 am. so if you plan to leave early, better talk to him.
accordingly to the other comments, we are not sure if the pools are ever filled with water. Mañana!

Not sure the hostal is this one as there is no name.
We paid 50pp for a private room and shared bathroom. The place was clean.
We had dinner for 35pp (vegetable soup and pasta) and breakfast for 15pp (yogurt, cereals, coffee, pancakes)
You can probably pay a but less but we didn't negotiate as it sounded cheap anyway (especially after Chile)

great location, lots of folks set up currently. TONS of mosquitoes unfortunately. Currently muddy due to the rain storms that passed through today

Nothing to add. Wonderfull. Just a few more pictures. Great sunrise, lots of animals, hikes to heaven.

As mentioned before 10000 for 24h.
Very busy and loud during daytime, we moved our van to the very end of the parking lot around 23:30 and then had a quiet night. Everything is in walking distance, which makes it a good place to stay while visiting Buchara.

Choose the track you want, find the spot you love.
There can be some 4x4 passing by before the night as it’s a well known track area but I’m sure you’ll manage to be all alone and quiet for the night.
Amazing stary sky.
The sand is only soft in very few areas.

The owner of the garage is a busy guy but he for sure will make time for you.
We was able to diagnose our issue in 5 minutes, verify it in 10 and point us to a bigger garage that will have the part.
All of that for free.

I wouldn’t recommend this spot, it was OK for a night though.
We could not find the riverbed.
There is a village very near.
The GPS coordinates are very close to a himba habitation.

We could find a spot close but hidden from the road.
A himba man came to ask for money when we left the next morning.

Convenient to US 2. Free, quiet, and great Verizon service. No amenities. High clearance will give you more options further from the highway.

We stayed 2 nights at Bar da Ro park. We asked to her, and she allowed to stay there. Very quiet place by the River.

Always asked before if it is allowed to stay.

We stayed on the street, next to the ¨RAMBLA¨ . We felt safety there. It doesn´t have any ammenities but has a beatuful view of the Uruguay River. There are bathrooms nearby, but there were dirty.

This spot is no joke, it’s essentially an ATV trail. Maybe I did it too close to spring and it was wet but there was 3 20 ft deep mud pits. I was alone so I turned around in my Tundra. Hopefully I get redemption at this one….

Just an update on the prices : 7€ per person with a tent. You can pay in euros or leks.

Still accessible through the two gates as previously stated. Met one local lady with her dog. She was friendly and didn’t seem to mind me camping there. Great night !

No parking space so probably only for bikers. Concrete covered area next to church with tap water that sometimes works and a pit toilet. We camped here when it started pouring rain, but didn’t find anyone to ask, so don’t know if it’s okay. No one bothered us. Very quiet night.

Great secluded campground in the heart of the Sandhills. $15 per night. Primitive spots, no electricity

This is one of our top 3 favorite campground! Nice site near the creek, very well maintened every day. Que stayed there 2 nights.

Been there with a 2,20m van with no problem, didn't see any sign or anything

Nice camping, lovely lady at the check-in.
Bathroom clean and looks like they are New.

As of May 24, 2023, this NPS campground is available by reservation only thru recreation.gov. During the off-season, it will revert to "first come, first served" status.

We visited on the last walk-up day, when Loop A was 80% empty.

New and very nice restrooms.

No cell or wifi at the visitor center.

Variety of trails, depending on how much time you have.

Potable spring water for filling bottles or jugs. Not suitable to fill RVs. Within a chainlink fence that keeps wildlife out.

We had a restful few days here. We first checked out Ram Marina which felt more like a boat maintenance yard than a nice place to stay for a few days. There was sandblasting with a loud generator and some other smoky and smelly maintenance going on right beside the parking area. Also there is absolutely no view of the water from this area. It was awful so we left our van there while we rode bikes over to Mar Marina to check it out.
Mar was quiet, had a pool and as mentioned in previous posts , lots of places to hang out and chill.
The owner initially said Q150 / night so we were on our way out when they came out to tell us that we could stay for Q100 instead. Nice!
When we went to leave Ram Marina the gate keeper insisted that we pay for the whole day even though we were only there about an hour. We said no and escaped out the gate while he had it open for other people. He likely just got tired of trying to explain himself as we pretended not to understand Spanish.
Mar was a delight especially when the owner let us borrow the red kayak for a few hours to tour around.
Laundry facilities are available for Q60 per load ( It’s a large washer) Ask at the office.

yep, still good to go, hole in manhole cover in front of the building with a sign pointing down. gotta back in or go in and turn around. Low clearance on corner of building.

23/05/2023 free wood. nice place to stay. 20$

The hotel is under construction. Lots of dust and work, but it will be in great shape. Right now, some new rooms with good matresses, AC, tv and good wifi. Secure, covered parking for my motorcycle and cars. Big rigs won't fit. No breakfast for now, but there's a bakery in front and a supermarket nearby. 100 reales, or 20 USD cash, 120 reales credit card. Safe neighbourhood.
Very convenient for crossing the border.

Amei este lugar. Só para motor home, com tudo o que o campista precisa, inclusive local para descarte de água servida. Para quem chega de carro tem os motor homes estacionários, que também podem ser alugados como opção. Já várias áreas comuns e a decoração dos espaços é toda customizada e temática.

Multiple rigs, can hear the ocean! No one bothered us, felt safe. Slept on the opposite side of Taco Bell as this marker (lot B)

The main parking lot areas for the casino have No Overnight Parking signs all over the place. We called the casino, and they noted that they do allow overnight parking in a designated lot for semis and campers which is to the right when you pull in. We spent one night, and it was relatively quiet and peaceful with the exception of semis running throughout the night. There is also an RV park right next to this lot which $24 per night.
