Check-Ins

Still here, still free. Water but not potable.

Easy and friendly. Guard checked my passport on the bridge and pointed me to a parking spot; told me what window in which building to get my passport stamp. Did aduana next. The only thing that was weird was they took me from there to a separate office where I waited for about 15 minutes. They then handed me my completed (or so I thought) paperwork and sent me on my way.
I got in my van to leave and was fortunate enough that the first aduana guy saw me and ran over to stop me. Apparently I was supposed to go back to the first location for him to finish the process. Close call, that.

Also, I took my dog and his health certificate with me to every step, and nobody said a word about animal importation. Off we go to the beach!

Merci L.L.Bean! Nous y avons passé la nuit en toute quiétude. Un arrêt facile sur notre route. Stationnement publique réservé au RV’s pour une nuit seulement. Aucun service ni poubelle, seulement la tranquillité d’esprit.

Dump station still there and hole was not leaking or overflowing but the concrete patch around it was a pool of standing water that smelled like porta-pottie. Maybe someone didn't use the hole and instead dumped their black water on the concrete???

Potable water spigot at pump 22.

There are two bridges side by side, camping is on the right. Lots of dirt roads and atv roads, but no cars ever come by. Right on a river. No Verizon reception. I used to camp here in the nineties, the roads are new, but the sites are forever more.

The owner of this home no longer lives here. No longer available to overlander.

This place is great for a night if you are fully self-contained. The creek is refreshingly cool all times of year. Definitely will hear I-40 traffic, but you’re below the interstate, so it’s muffled.

Lots of trash all over though, so please pitch in if you use this area (while it might only be a one night stopover for you, WNC is my home, please help keep these mountains and waterways clean).

very quiet at night. pretty large park. there are not any signs stating when the park closes and I got no 3 am knocks. the park is clean with bathrooms.

we arrived at 19.15 on a Wednesday and it was dark, but it was clear there was somoeone there and the gate was open. . we were welcome. the food was nice. is now 10.000 pp very good value. he was very friendly and also invited us to camp in front but we went to the river spot as we preferred that.

Almuerzo for 10 sol pp. We didn't like it so much but they put in a lot of koriander which is hate it or love it, so we got unlucky. hope you have a better time here!

Totally agree with the comments about the kids. It was very entertaining- within minutes we had at least 15 kids in the campervan touching/ opening everything possible and some things that aren’t meant to open. They were obsessed with our spare/ old mobile phones they manage to find and kept asking for us to give the phone to them as presents.
They were super polite and didn’t take anything without asking first.
Free to park here for the night.
No facilities and intermediate Claro.

Free. Worth a walk around if you are in the area. Interesting gold figurines.
Free WiFi and decent toilets!

A beautiful spot! I had service but only when it connected to canada’s towers. There is too much drift wood blocking the path at this moment to be able to drive onto the beach, but the pull off is plenty big.

great, clean laundry mat. reasonably priced

Great parking spot with no signs saying “no camping”. View of Denali through the winter trees. Not a lot of options in winter months, most pullouts and viewpoints still unplowed and closed, but this is nicely plowed and cleared for parking.

I can confirm I was able to cash out 400,000 clp

cretacico park. the visit is with a guide in English or Spanish. here you can see around thirty life-size replicas of dinosaurs, a small museum explaining the dinosaur traces found on the wall of the quarry next to the park. only between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m., a short 45-minute guided excursion takes you to see the dinosaur tracks. This excursion is supposedly for those over 12 years old, but that’s only because you have to go down and back up a drop of around a hundred meters. so if your child is able to do this walk they can join the excursion. foreign price: 30 bowls per adult and child under 12 years old 10 bowls. nice park, there is a small play area for children where they can discover dinosaur remains.

parc cretacico. la visite se fait avec un guide en anglais ou espagnol. ici vous pourrez voir une trentaine de réplique de dinosaures grandeur nature, un petit musée expliquant les traces de dinosaure retrouvé sur la paroi de la carrière à côté du parc. seulement entre 12 h et 13 h, une petite excursion de 45 mn guidée vous emmène voir les traces de dinosaures. cette excursion est soit disant pour les plus de 12 ans, mais c’est uniquement car il faut descendre et remonter un dénivelé d’une centaine de mètres. donc si votre enfant est apte à faire cette marche il peut se joindre à l’excursion. prix étranger: 30 bols par adultes et enfant de moins de 12 ans 10 bols. parc sympa, il y a une petite aire de jeux pour enfants ou ils peuvent découvrir des restes de dinosaures.

Wonderful kind ppl who cooked us a nice milanesa with tasty fries and rice. relatively expensive (70 sol for 2) but we could sleep here as well and use the WiFi. recommend!

Decently quiet parking. nice clean showers, like most Loves locations. 👍

slept like a baby

Great Mechanic. Agustin is super friendly and knowledgeable. He has a full shop and was able to source parts in Ensenada and get us on the road. He also speaks fluent English which can be helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great spot, lots of vans and smaller RVs. Everyone parks here and there are no restrictions, except during the day(4hr maximum). Stayed in bend for a week and parked here every night.

This is my second night at this location. Several campers and vans both nights. Not too noisy. We were able to get a good nights sleep. Thanks Cracker Barrel!

Shower did not work, but we got hot water to wash ourselves with bottle. The dog is very intrusive and starts to bark in the evening, luckily stopped after a while. However, the owner is very friendly, talkactive and helpful. We got hot water in the morning for tea. You can also buy some snacks and drinks from their small shop.

Il faut absolument réserver en ligne sur le site « recreation.gouv » ou via l’ application. Aucun first in maintenant. Et c’est 35$US

Easy to use if you pull to the right of the cones. Towards the drive through… you can get out before the barrier.

I broke down with what I thought was a transmission issue 30min outside of San Ignacio. this shop was recommended by a local couple who stopped to help me, and I'm so glad they did. insurance could not help me find a tow, and basically told me to get bent since it was up to me to find one. This shop has a tow truck!

thankfully, we didn't need it. I communicated with both Leon and his son, Leon Jr thru Whatsapp, which made translation much easier (and even made it possible to 3way call with a fluent speaker), since neither speak any English.

they drove out to assess the issue and Leon was extremely confident he knew the issue within a few minutes of troubleshooting. he fixed the part right on the side of the highway and said I should get that replaced sometime in the near future, but didn't pressure me to drive back to his shop to get it replaced. even encouraged me to get home sooner instead. very honest and kind.

we were short on Pesos (maybe had enough to cover his gas but not his time), gave him some USD as well. he asked if we had any more, and when we explained we had intended to have friends bring us more the next day, he said don't worry about it, and to call him if we have any questions. I later asked those friends to bring him more pesos when they passed thru town.

tl;Dr: Kind, honest, doesn't upcharge or try to upsell. Willing to drive out to help. Very knowledgeable.
