Check-Ins

excellent Walmart. friendly neighbors. beautiful sunset and close to all amenities. bathrooms are also pretty clean

Awesome place to stay the night. Full bars 5G for Verizon. Cozy quiet tonight. Had dominoes for dinner. Been cooking every night while out in the bush. Nice to just order something and eat. Very awesome that Cabelas set this spot up. Makes me wanna spend a little more coin to thank them for this. Ya’ll stay safe out there. Supposed to be 28° tonight. FYI a catalytic heater in your camper will do wonders. Uses no electricity like your normal heater does. So saves on battery on cloudy days.

Still abandoned and a great spot for one night. A few people saw me, but nobody cared. I used my hammock to enjoy the fresh sea breeze at night. There is a roof in case it rains and the sunrise in the morning is so beautiful!

Nice site right by the water. Was able to pull in with a small trailer rig.

this is a turn around area prior to the visitor center. approved by the Ranger there. large enough space along the road to pull off the road in case someone needs to turn around. quiet, very little traffic during the evening. would definately use again if in the area. no amenities. can hear the river softly after dark.

quiet for a rest stop
cell service
one sign at the end of the parking saying non commercial véhicules should stay 4h maximum per 24h
didnt had any problem (stayed from 9pm to 9am), another car spent the night here

No problem on motorcycles. It's just a really short stretch of sand.

CLOSED Until mid may I believe
Very nice rest area, large clean grassy dog area, bathrooms, it was quieter than most I have stayed at

Got here to early so I didn’t stay but it looked nice enough, close to town, service, nice pet area

Very close to the road and loud but a pretty view

Charming little spot with a beautiful view over the lake. Food is available, from 40 to over 110 cedis depending on the menu. There are also lots of different kinds of rooms, the cheapest being the dorm (140 cedis) and the most expensive the family bedroom (500 cedis). You can ask for extra mattresses (50 cedis each). Also, water is free, and you can probably come and sleep in your car, although the parking is small and on a hill.
WiFi is available upon request, except during the evenings as the owner Élodie has to be around (she'll share her 4G with you), and she usually goes back to her house early.
Otherwise, you can go horseback riding (150 cedis per person and per hour), canoeing on the lake, hiking, biking, or even rent a motorboat. I'm a rider and the two-hour horse tour I did with Élodie was quite fun, although not super sporty because of the sinuous tracks, bikes and people. We cantered once (no gallop is possible), and trotted a couple of times. After the ride, I went to the Cocoa guesthouse (30 min away by foot), where you can eat and also enjoy a very nice swim in the lake.

I've visited Pakistan two times and try many others mechanic, But now I see why this man is the best in the city. We fixed so many problems on the car that I was trying to do for almost ten days here. What we couldn't find him in progress in a really good way because he's a really good mechanic willing to help.

I will.
Just wont to say one, don't waste your time trying to do job other way like me, go directly here and you will fix all your problems for sure.

Thank you Sami for all your efforts!

Very nice waterfall and gorge into the Orange river. Easily missed when driving. Best views from the north side.

Nice place to stay. Bells and rondavels in the distance. One guy was jogging up!!!

Big rock is still there and was a tight squeeze in a Hilux. Did it from Thaba side, 2-3 washouts after the last houses were really rough. Took 2.5 hours from Bob Philipps to the top. Amazingly, crossed 7 other vehicles going in the other direction!!!

Campground is open from 04-09, depending on the weather. Very friendly owner. We paid 400 Lira. You can also use a washing machine. In the restaurant is a live music evening on Wednesday and Saturday

Got stopped and chatted with the officer a bit about our last days in Ghana-which unfortenuately have not been happy days due to our days in a hospital because of Malaria.
Maybe that soothed him or he was just in a mood not to check anything, he "just" asked if we would have anything to support him-as he had several kids, I handed over some stilos and off we went.

(This was the second time in Ghana at all the various police-stops we have passed by that we actually have been asked for something.)

!! Currently it is not possible to get a VoA for Togo.
You need to apply for an eVisa at any cost and you have to apply for it minimum 5 days before arriving at the boarder.
Please also see attached Screen Shot (taken April 23rd) from the website of the Togo state (in French)!!

Probably the nicest Municipal campground we stayed at so far. Immaculately clean bathrooms. Swimming pool and a common area right on the Parana river. Highly recommend it.

Camping muito bem localizado, com estrutura impecável, piscina com água da lagoa de Epecuén aquecida com todas as propriedades. Água quente para lavar roupas, louças e tomar banho, além de água potável e água quente para preparar mate ou cozinhar. Possui energia elétrica e torneiras por todo o camping.

There was a gate across the entrance so I guess it’s seasonal

The new price for camping is $25, regardless of whether you use electricity or other services. The place is noisy and can be a little intimidating. The photos in the presentation are from there, but they do not completely reflect reality.

Small shop with basic supplies (bread, cold drinks, some rice etc.). They also served hot food (pap and meat) which we didn’t try though. A bar with cold beers next door.

Large area for several campers. Dirt road not too rough - 2wd van did fine. Turn off Hwy 82 onto Mule Canyon Rd. Stay left for Mule Canyon a mile or so in to reach the Forest Service boundary. Flat spaces are just after the FS sign. No cell service.
There is another large, flat camp area down the road, also on the left side if the first spot is occupied. It has enough space for a few campers. Although we were the only one here on a Saturday night.

We pre-booked the campsite as they indeed only allow one group (2 sites, one group in total) which makes perfect sense privacy wise. Contact was very easy and Dammann was very helpful. Really enjoyed the site with private ablutions, price was P150 p.p.p.n. which is very reasonable and might be considered cheap. Very nice bar and dining area, had dinner and really enjoyed that! The honesty bar was just perfect with nice stock. Did a Mokoro tour which was very lovely and Dammann and his family were able to drive us there which was just perfect and we were able to get to know them a bit, very very nice owners and a very nice site!

Take the gravel road for 20 mètres and you can find some place to put you van , camper or big ring.

The is 4G, 2 bars with Claro SIM card

We arrived late in the evening after sunset as the food took longer than we thought at the restaurant close by that is also here on iOverlander. The old man immediately came out of his house when he saw our lights, we greeted him and asked if we can stay, he was very friendly and showed us how far we can drive to the cliff as there is a big concrete hole in the grass. He went to his house and didn’t come to us anymore. In the morning we said goodbye and gave him 2000

The fuel station is operating now. We had delicious fish for 3000, just took an hour to be served

Nice lady who finished the laundry the same day. Unfortunately, I didn't get everything back that I dropped off. I went back immediately and asked for my clothes, but she didn't have them, even though I knew I had dropped them off. Not a good experience in the end.

Big lot opposite of Maple drive. Sign says parking permitted over night. It was quiet and dog friendly. It’s right at the start of the trails for the Dykelands. On the Main Street close to restaurants and grocery.
