Check-Ins

We drove just beyond this spot and found another pull out. It was a nice spot for about an hour. Unfortunately there were lots of cars headed up kicking up dust and we didn’t want to spend the whole night (a Friday) with noise and dirt. We drove about an hour away for some quiet. FYI.

balneario municipal ,en temporada es pago pero fuera de temporada es free,dormimos aquí sin problema, hay baños y duchas de agua fría , la playa muy linda de arena , muy aeguro

Men dressed in makeshift uniforms were controlling traffic at this T-crossing. They were attired as one might expect and had established quite an impressive operation for such a shady task. Two or three unmarked white pickup trucks, equipped with red and blue emergency lights similar to those on police cars, and six to eight individuals were instructing drivers to present their papers and allow the inspection of their vehicle interiors. Since we mentioned that we did not speak Spanish, their interest in us was not particularly high. Nevertheless, the courteous man in the picture instructed us to pull over for a van inspection. I calmly stated that I didn't understand Spanish, drove very slowly, and meandered vaguely in the direction he indicated for the inspection. Finding no one there, I simply drove on and, once out of sight, accelerated sharply.

beautiful spot, we got elephants passing us in about 8m distance.

Après quelques jours à Big Bend, besoin de faire le plein d’eau. Nous avons demandé à l’intérieur et aucun problème pour faire le plein de nos bidons. De la place pour venir avec un gros RV je pense. Nous sommes en pickup

Called them today and they said the water spigot at the dump was out of service but could fill water near the office

No problems here. Quiet street and good spots to stealth camp in our sprinter. Was worried about places in Encinitas given the comments on others so chose this one instead. Worked out well

en Boquete hay muchos grifos al lado del río para poder cargar agua sin problema, se puede concertar la manguera y la presión es buenísima, llenas muy rápido el tanque, la verdad que es una maravilla cargar agua en Boquete. no sabemos si es potable, nosotros no la usamos para beber

Nice park with some trees, lot green and less trash. At nighttime very silent (some airplanes) in the middle of Tabuk, almost no traffik on the canal side.

ATM is working. No problem. And I need to right smth more or I can’t save this point )))

Glorious dump station. No sign about water if it’s potable, but it’s very high flow. Awesome! Map pin location is perfect, it’s at the exit

As described by others. Primitive. A few shade and non shaded sires. Great starting point from any gravel rides into the Piedmont Wildlife Refuge. No close water source. Some logging near by.

I have AT&T cell service and had 2 bars.

Nice quiet place.
Camping is allowed around the pool! The pool is not maintained anymore, so you cannot swim in it!!
There are cold showers in the main building 150m from the campsite without any lights.

They charge 10.000 kwacha ppn.

Abdou is super friendly... and is cooking excellent! taste yourself 😋

lots of space... at the moment he has hot bucket shower... but he's working to improve.

My wife got serious altitude sickness and we needed medical treatment. We didn't need to wait long and had a consultation with an englisch speaking doctor. Very clean and modern. Highlight recommended!

Free Cave, road access: 4x4 recommended
The way is not very good signed
Trail head at the opposition (!) site of the sign
the way: first you have to cross the forest (5-10min) following a small dry river, then you can see green arrows for crossing the rocks
After some bush you will reach the cave (stay on the right side)
the cave is fenced but the door is open

Amazing place, total quite, River flowing nearby

Silent at night, no people around. Just the Highway in the distance.

We came here for one night, 3 men and 1 woman. They have a matrimonial room (70S) or simple room (50S). We asked for 2 matrimonial rooms but he refused to let 2 guys sleep in the same room. We then asked for two simple rooms instead of one matrimonial room but for the same price, and he refused. We left.
We are travelling since México and never had this sort of problems, even for our precedent night in Peru.

Really nice campsite close to the border. We opted for one of the private campsites near the river. Nice green grass and great facilities with wash up area and ablutions in great shape. Siya was a great host and served cold drinks at the bar. Pool was very refreshing. Great spot to stop for the night either before crossing into Namibia or if you have just come into SA.

North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences

Awesome little rustic campground with loads of sites right on the lake. Most with nice pine tree cover. Pit toilets and drinking water available. We were here in mid-April and were the only ones. Hiked 4 mile path down to Lake Superior (3 miles back).

Good description; just added photo of prices

The place is through a carpark. Make sure you don't miss the turn. The insurance company is run by really friendly peoples. Did my motorcycle insurance within minutes.

Great place. As described. Lots of mosquitoes, though.

Agree that it's quiet and a bit cramped. Plenty of space was available mid-afternoon, but full by early evening. In summer reservations are required. If you have a senior pass or certain other passes, it's $15 per night (see bulletin board at campground entrance). Camp host said that previously there was no cell service in the park, but a Verizon tower was installed nearby a year or so ago.

Gorgeous area. This spot makes a fantastic overnight spot. Besides the train and river of course, it’s quiet and peaceful

Nice flat spaces for only $10 self paid. I stayed there for a night while traveling thru. It was nice and quiet with full bars of Verizon LTE. Would stay again.

If it wasn’t raining the whole time we were here I’m sure it would have been beautiful! I think the lady that owned the restaurant felt bad for us and made us these delicious snacks! (Corn that bites and these really good eggs in flour! She also came out with hot tea and corn on the cob! I would recommend stopping here while driving the beautiful road and on the way to Cajamarca!

Amazing views of the Yellowstone river in the valley below. The 2 track road mentioned in the previous review is deeply rutted but passable.

Use extreme caution, pulling into the Bluff campsite, as it drops straight off into the Yellowstone River. Probably wouldn't recommend this site if you have kids.

Main campsite shown in my photos has a very nice fire ring, the other spur right next to it drops off all around with no fire ring… Maybe good for a tent or tent top?

There appears to be another campsite. (still on BLM land) about halfway between the Bluff and the road. Check out Google overhead imaging.

A bit of leveling was required, but not much. 3 to 4 bars of AT&T LTE, occasional train noise across the river… lots of cows over there that you can occasionally here also. Coyotes at night.

Stayed one night… F350 slide in camper.

If you stay up here, try not to dream about the end scene from Thelma and Louise.
