Check-Ins

Stayed one night with no problems. Location is quiet and plenty of level parking spots. There was some construction equipment staged in one corner of the lot. I believe the store is under renovation, but there was no work going on the night I stayed. Maybe because it was Easter Sunday, so not sure what it might be like at other times. One note, the GPS location is a bit off, but good enough to get you there. Google maps though it was on the other side of the road, so I had to make a u-turn, but not a big deal.

We slept on the parking of the Harbour Boutique hotel and we had a good and safe night ☺️ Better than the letters parking for us.

Terreno arborizado, na beira da rodovia.

Ficamos 3 dias por aqui, lugar tranquilo e nós sentimos seguros! Algumas pessoas apareceram na parte da tarde, bem pouco movimentado nessa época do ano.

As described, local and historical. We visited on Easter, it was full of locals. Not that wide variety but food was good as was the price.

If you camp on the parking lot, you'll not have the view on the volcano, which would be a shame at sunset, but if you take the dirt road and go down 150 m, you'll find a flat space on the hard sand. From here, you have an incredible view on all volcanoes and the sunset is amazing. No signal from entel nor Tigo, and no flamingos for us, but maybe they come back later in the year. The dirt road is blocked just after that point. Nights are cold here, our windows froze from the inside.

Don't miss this gorgeous point of view on the city. Next to it, you'll find museums and the monasterio. Recommend doing it at sunset.

The road leading to this parking is in very bad state. Don't count on it if you don't have a 4x4 (in march 2024).

Nice place. A little road noise but that doesn’t bother me much. We just went right to sleep
In our RV and got up at 3am to drive again. Perfect for our needs.

new buildings, you can camp here, restroom and showers are available, running water and electricity

Beautiful, green camping. Apple trees, plum trees, chickens and a horse. Owner is very friendly. Shower is warm, toilets are clean. Good wifi. Paid 5000 pesos per person including electricity for the van.

Really nice spot to stop and sleep for a few nights. Though you can see the highway, the views are incredible and the noise is minimal. As people mention, just drive a little past the Shell as the road gets a bit worse farther in, but you'll know before you get to the bad spot. Service was solid. one negative is there was so. much. trash scattered about. I don't think it's people trashing the ppace, but more the trash blowing from the highway and getting caught in the bushes. I picked up quite a bit and I hope you do too so we can keep the spot nice and the nature happy!

local muito bom, água luz sanitários, cozinha e no centro de S.P. Atacama

Showered here twice. Family of 4 and we shared the family/handicap room. Hot shower and we took our time. Friendly staff. Great price!

Very quiet place despite the proximity of the road.
I spent a night there. Dirt access road, little vegetation on the sides in March, therefore very easy access.
At the end of the road there is a flat clearing, beyond which you can continue by making a very small ford.

In the middle of nowhere, one of the only place where you can park and spend the night on the road 26 from Paysandu to Tacuarembo.
It's a big gravel parking along the road but quiet at night . Police went through without bothering us or asking anything. Felt safe

No one around and quiet. Stayed by the swamp between the trees. I’m sure it’ll get very buggy in summer. Watch out for fresh manure. Overall a decent spot.

Tons of space. Road in is good then the actual areas are hard packed rocks and very level. Lots of fire rings. Desert vegetation in between different rock areas. Nice view of mountains all around. Nice and quiet. Good for multiple nights easily. Verizon 2 bars.

McDonald's parking lot allows RV and bus overnight parking. There is a huge lot that the semi-trucks park at right behind the McDonald's lot.

Nice spot, we spent a quiet night and woke up in the morning with a beautiful sunrise.

The campsite is now more actively used, we believe. It costs 150 Maloti/Rand per night (we were 2 people, 1 car).

Ablutions and (hot) water available. We found 1 electrical outlet in the bush, not sure whether it is working. The rest of the power boxes don't have outlets.

We were welcome with our dog, even on the terrace and on the hiking trails. Very positive!

Staff, facilities and hiking trails indeed great!

Very friendly staff indeed,

We tried to park and sleep at the cell tower as mentioned in one of the comments. When we arrived (after driving up on the very bad track), a man came out of the house/maintenance barrack. We decided not to stay.

The original place at the river looked nice, but when we shortly stopped to look we immediately had children at our window asking for stuff, and the field was covered in cattle and shepherds.

Swimming pool, sleep 120 people, hall, big kitchen, for schools, church funtions, weddings, walking trial.

Beautiful terrace for an evening beer. Private rooms are comfy and price is good for Costa Rica.

Quiet night. The museum is closed for renovation.

It was closed today, but we went up the road and found taqueria Sofi two houses further. Seems to be exactly the same.
4 tacos (beef, chicken or pork) for 60 pesos or one big quesadilla for 70.
The tortilla is tasty, good value for money !

Good place for a night. It‘s a leveled parking lot, with enough space for big rigs. We were there on a Saturday night and it was noisy, couple of people came and played loud music from their cars. After 11pm it got quiet and we had a good night.

Stayed here the night before we drove to Peru. It was good spot, quiet, and had a lot of space. It‘s also possible to go swimming in the river.

Espectacular parada en plena montaña.
acampe al aire libre

Pull out that is semi level. View of tree cleared ridges. Sunny spot. LTE coverage with Verizon. No campfire sign posted. Great place to stay the night. Several pull outs along the road, but this is the best. Some pot holes but not bad.
