Check-Ins

Apart for those 2 very anoying barking german shepperds living in the street nearby, we had a very quiet stay, as we were the only campers. Nothing to complain about, its a lay back place just next to busy Nairobi streets. Hot shower in a room (not much pressure) and toilets outside for campers. Monkeys around. Friendly cat.
We parked as far as we could from the overland buses, next to the little alley under the trees on the grass. It was great, just a bit noisy at night because of the stupide dogs. 1000 pp.
Update : one week later, we stayed there again for 2 nights and beside the dogs, it was still very peaceful. But we ate a burger at the restaurant and we got a bit sick (not good food anyway). Maybe best to avoid the food...

Potable water. Not ideal for RV. Great for jugs

I paid 180q a night. King bed but no table/chair inside the room. Nice and hot shower. Oddly it’s a little cheaper if you find them on Airbnb.

simple place to sleep with your hammock for 14 euros
or for 20 euros to provide you with a hammock and mosquito net

I've seen they also had a cabin, but I don't know what it is like.

showers and toilets are clean and work

they have a microwave and plenty of electricity sockets
on demand she serves breakfast and other meals

there is some space where I parked my motorbike inside the gated area.

Still ok place to camp. Stayed like 18 hours (weekday night) and saw only one guy (local). He parked close by with his motorbike for a few hours in afternoon/evening. Maybe fisherman, or maybe enjoying the beach.

Beware that the beach right down the road from here has lots of big rocks right beneath the water line. Makes it a bit hard to get in and out of the water. Maybe better to walk a bit towards the “developed” part of the beach to swim?

As said before, lots of trash. And you can hear the restaurants (or whatever it is) close by blast out local music.

Avoid when wet. Check forecast so you don’t get stuck, it gets muddy in rain and the road is steep at places. It had a 60 cm deep hole in the middle (possible to straddle), beware that it might deteriorate more…

Many dirt roads in the area are not on OpenStreetMaps. Check satellite images in Google/Apple Maps to see them. Maybe possible to find other spots?

Vodafone 4g connection with good speed, but only 1-2 bars.

A really nice place to learn more about sloths but also frogs, plants and much more ! José is a really nice person, very interesting and he know a lot about plants and animals ! We did a tour with him during 2h30 in the forest and we saw 5 sloths, Toucans, frogs, monkeys…It’s 5000 COL per person. Very worth it ! We saw a large variety of birds in his garden, very beautiful. We saw a lot of animals in 2 days ! We recommend ! 😉

Follow the signs to the stadium, it’s a blue & white building. This water refill was recommended by the staff at Dildo Run Provincial Park since their water was under a boil alert.

Easy to connect & refill our tank.

Ear lunch here. The prices are okay, expensive for locals but okay for Americans. The views are worth the price. Attached are the photos of menu and palaps to give you better idea of the views.
lobster with another was okay. I wish they had not cut tail in 4 halves. tasted great.

full service campgrounds on Ross Lake. Green, Lots of shade. Hot showers. $30 a night with hookups

beautiful little rest stop off the freeway with bathrooms, vendor machines, shade trees, tourist info, picnic tables, trash cans and pet area.

Spent the night without a problem. As others have said, there is an adjacent parking lot that is definitely for Home Depot, but just rarely used because of how it is situation behind a patch of bushes. Very private, but close enough to the interstate that you get some noise from it. Not much, but some.

We are in a 35ft skoolie and we had no issues. Parked at around 7 and left after noon the next day. A very peaceful sleep

Still open and free to use! Dump station and potable water. You don’t need a state park pass to access either.

Park outside of the gate in the grass lot out front. It’s very secluded and safe. The grounds have a lot of wormwood in case you want to make insect repellent bundles for your rig. <3

Please respect the space. It’s very clean.

Nice laundromat adjacent to the Sinclair gas station. There’s also a self service car wash suitable for tall vehicles and a small market. Top loading commercial machine is only $2. Only one other person doing laundry midday.

Dope spot right off the side of the road. Stayed in my short school bus and my friends pitched a tent beside it. Would stay here again

Not a good laundromat, but there are NO other options in the area. VERY few washers and dryers that actually work, as of 8/2023 the small to large washers are ALL $6.25, wow! Most of the operable washers were full and we had to wait...paid 6.25 for large and 6.25 for small...dryers are $1.00 to start, $0.25 per 4 mins.

Very cute campground next to a farm, very quiet and peaceful.
The owners are very friendly and helpful.
You can buy a sack of firewood for 8 £.
15 £ for two persons in one tent.

As described. We came to see some special rare birds but there are very few. We saw the Amethyst throated mountain gem down the Maple Forest trail. Very buggy. Stayed in a tent in a major lightening and thunder storm on that exposed hill. No issues. Nice, quiet spot in the cloud forest after the storm.

Brand spanking new hostel. We had a private room and bathroom for around 90soles per night. A little expensive for these parts but very clean and the shower was hot hot hot. Clean communal kitchen (although very poorly equipped). Dorms looked nice too. Able to lock our bikes on the ground floor terrace. Not much by way of an atmosphere but we wanted a quiet place to recover from sickness. Wifi a bit unreliable. 15 soles for breakfast if you want it.

Yep, great spot for cyclists, water best from a stream as indicated below. Nice to camp here then get to the top in the morning for the views before the descent.

We just passed through this area without any issues. 👍

$0.25 for 50G of water. Potable water located in main parking lot at fairgrounds. Potable.

Small hotel with a restaurant in Turbaco.
Rooms are simple but clean and have airco, tv, bathroom and cold shower. Wifi is ok.
We paid 80.000 for the two of us.
Very friendly and helpful staff.

it appears there is a problem with the gps location.

Big Plaza with different outlet stores, Nike, Columbia, which has a huge sale with great prices currently and many others, also a public restroom along the plaza. Walmart is right next door as well

Decepción total, no saben reparar una transmisión de una Isuzu DMax y no conocen ningún mecánico que nos la pueda mirar. El problema que teníamos es que nos había salido el chekin del 4WD

THANK YOU, BOZEMAN! Works perfectly! Near the parking lot and easy access for hose fill. I topped off my Sprinter’s fresh water tank easily.

Please be respectful and do not get this place shut down.

Literally the best laundromat I’ve ever been to. Clean, quiet, brand new washers and dryers.
Coin only! It’s right next to a BnB. Has wifi but no bathroom.

Belle endroit tel que décrits derrière le campus.
Aucun problème pour passer la nuit.

This is the same place as the informal campsite next to it on the iOverlander map.
Construction is done.
Accessible, and still no signs preventing overnight camping.
Garbage can is the only amenity.
