Check-Ins

please do the phonecall before, Erwin speaks Englisch. we didnt,. the gate was closed, Henry talk to us in spanish, Phone Erwin and it wasnt possible because of an Event later on this Sunday and tomorrow. (could be true or not).
we want to turn the truck 300m further and decided to stay on the grassy place next to the dead end road. So quite, many birds.
the last 2 km to Erwins place is dirt road, narrow with potholes.

Like it was said before 190 communal and 280 private, apparently no communal available for us so we took the „private“ one. You are right next to other private sections which doesn’t bother me, just for people who care about that.
My experience wasn’t worth that money overall. There was loud music until midnight. During the nights there were baboons or other animals going through the trash and throwing it all over the place. I know part of the journey and adventure. It stank in the tents. They could have just told us that, so we would leave the trash in the car till the next morning like when we do wildcamping. Maybe our mistake, who knows.
Wouldn’t do it again like we have seen much nicer places.
Rather would go to a campsite outside (for example Weltevrede)

Pros:
-Decent pool in the Center of the camp. Just a few chairs under shadow
-cleanish ablations
-Close to the gate
-got a shop

Contra:
- expensive (in my opinion)
- not really a campsite
- no helpful information about sossusvlei

It's now 4000pn for 2 people in a van. It's a beautiful place under trees with view at the lagoon. Hot showers but very basic.
Tons of mosquitos, bring repellent!

Dry camp for $25 per night, on the pavement. Hot shower available and is actually hot.

Great park. Small quiet park in the forest. not for big rigs. large sites with lots of vegetation. no paving except ADA pads. Water is yellow with a ton of chlorine. Close to I95, but far enough away gor peace. I would return.. EDIT: the yellow settled out and looks organic. my blue filter did not pull it out. Sorry I filled my tank here.

a little grassy pull off right between the river and the gravel road ( old route 89). 5 bars of T-Mobile. Faint highway noise from new hwy 89.
water sounds to lull you.

We sent a WhatsApp early in the morning and received an immediate response saying we should come over. We had problems with our handbrake. First of all, we were offered a very good coffee because we had to wait a short time. What a great service. Our handbrake including the brake disc and brake pads were changed quickly and professionally and we were given good advice. The price was also very good. The whole team was super friendly, very interested in our trip and our dog. At the end, "family photos" were taken. We can highly recommend the workshop. Thank you very much.

Large flat area on slick rock that can accommodate a couple of groups or one large group. Amazing views to the west. Established fire rings. Spotty cell service. Accessible via a short Rocky 2 track on the west side of the road. We parked 2 trucks with 18 ft trailers and there was room for more.

no signs, no problems. not a supercenter so no fresh groceries. park in the corner separated by a couple trees. some noise but mostly quiet.

Free open wifi at McDonald's, works as the others in the city

Hidden Caves is an archeological site that gives tours every Saturday starting in the town of fallon. More info may be available on the web. The cave is actually unaccessible, so to see it you have to be in the tour. The gravel parking lot is adjacent to vault toilets. This place is very popular for people to come to walk their dogs or to launch their motorcycles into the nearby area. A few feet further from the parking lot is a sandy dirt road entrance to the left where you can get some distance from casual traffic. We were the only ones camping here at this spot. Its a nice area and very quiet. Even though the cave is blocked off, there is still a nice interpretive trail nearby.

nice place with a big swimming pool. the camping area is a bit dusty. facilities are very clean! we paid 100MAD for 2 Adults and 3small kids. They also offer buffet style dinner for 170pp which we didn't try. no alcohol served.

Really nice park. Popular boating area. I was planning to stay the night, but a black sedan with bright led lights and heavily tinted windows parked perpendicular to my car and just watched me for 30 minutes. They were awkwardly pulled into the grass ditch and instead of a view of the river they were closely viewing me sitting in my van. Plenty of actual spots open. Eventually they drove off and I decided to leave as well, as it was quite odd behavior. The unsolved Jenning murders didn't help even though it's an old case. Just keep an eye out on your surroundings if you stay here.

WORST experience we've ever had in our 6 yrs vanlifing so far. Apparently the younger locals hangout up here late into the wee hrs & well, use your imagination. We were able to drown out most of the loud music & talking w our vent fan. BUT @3am, 1 zombied out, high on who knows what junkie, started literally pulling on our door handles & demanding we let him in. Needless to say, we were outa there. We drove just a little (1/4 mile) up the mountain and stayed at the next trailhead w other vanlifers.

Still free and very convenient. Located on the north side of the truck fuel stations.

Stayed one night in “primitive” site (Loop B). No hook ups but hot showers and flush toilets. $16 ($8 with senior pass). Sunday afternoon was very crowded with day use, but then we weee the only ones in campground. Some highway noise.

Beautiful spot! The sign says you can park for up to 12 hours in a 24 hour period, had a good sleep, a great spot if you have a dog, big grassy areas on the river

One of several primitive campsites along this dirt road in Hoosier National Forest. Enough room for several vehicles but probably not suitable for pull behinds or big rigs. Worked fine for our van. Established fire ring. On a hill so can be very windy.

We didn’t have trouble with the guys, they just wanted to wash the car. We didn’t give them anything. The path is overgrown and we couldn’t get to the end, I recommend long pants and closed shoes

We drove down on a sunday afternoon, a group of boys ran after us the whole way. When we arrived at bottom they looked pretty interested at our rooftop boxes, we had a bad feeling to leave our car there and left. Sorry for them to run all the way down and walk back up without any benefit for them :D Should have gone early in the morning or parked the car on top and walk down

The road is not accessible anymore, there’s a field of corn. We tried the track 500m east, but it ended at a graveyard

We used this emergency wildcamp as it was too dark already to look for a better one. It’s an open area in the middle of a corn field. Gets very muddy when wet, no wind to cool down, I‘ve never had so many mosquitoes in one place. We left immediately when the sun came up. No people at night

Lovely place, not very big but the owner told us they don’t accept tents. Although as it was late and only one motorhome staying she let 2 of us camp. Hot shower and pool

Recommended. Roomy site for pit stop or overnight. I parked on the side opposite of the bathroom to have less noise from the occasional user. Very clean. Out on the plain and surrounded by farms and mountains. Easy in and out on 95.

Passamos a noite no estacionamento do posto. possui restaurante e banheiros 24h e banho grátis. Wifi livre e tomadas.
O restaurante 24h tem valores altos, tem um na parte de trás que funciona das 8 as 22 e é mais acessível

code for bathrooms/showers is 1414. not sure if they change the codes regularly, but its worth trying, just please be respectful and discreet!
code for pool (connected to restrooms/showers, another way to get in from the other side of the gate) is 1976.

$32 dry camping per night. Conveniently located and trees provide (some) privacy. Nice indoor pool, showers are free. Good value!

Large open area on solid stones at the previous river banks with levelled spots. Locals park their vehicles here on the beach to take the boat to Boca Manu. We left the car here during the day and it felt good so we decided to stay the night too. The locals are incredibly kind and gave us bananas and brought us some groceries from Boca Manu. Amazing views over the Madre de Dios river and in distance the Manu river. In the morning incredible sunrise with thousands of chestnut macaws.

Palpas 400 pesos. Pay at the store on your way in
