Description

Security is the big issue in San Salvador. But finally there is a free, safe and possible to park several days in the capital.
In the block of the US embassy
In the street behind the madreselva park there are five armed security 24 / 24hs, each 50 meters (which keep private streets) here there are no bathrooms or water tap, but you can park large vehicles. I stayed three days. You can easily go to the city center on bus 34, which passes in the corner. Very quiet place.
On the other street, in front of the park there is 24 hour security of the park itself, there are bathrooms and water, however there is more movement of cars, and vehicles with more than 2.5 meters high do not park, through the branches of the trees.

Seguridad es el gran tema en San Salvador. Pero finalmente encontramos un lugar gratis, seguro y posible para parquear varios dias en la capital.
En la cuadra de la embajada de EUA (seguridad máxima).
En la calle de atrás del parque madreselva hay cinco seguridad armados 24/24hs a cada 50 metros (que guardan las calles particulares) aqui no hay baños ni agua, pero si se puede parquear vehículos grandes. Me quedé 3 dias. Fuí al centro de la ciudad en el bus 34 que pasa en la esquina. Muy silencioso lugar.
Ahora, en la otra calle, en frente al parque, hay seguridad 24hs del proprio parque, hay baños y agua, sin embargo hay más movimiento de autos, y no parquean vehículos con más de 2,5 metros de altura, por las ramas de las árboles.
Altamente recomendable el lugar.

I would not recommend this place for truck campers. since tree branches hang into the street, lines are quite narrow and cars have to drive in and out of their garage, this is maybe not the best option for bigger rigs

Perfect spot to spend a few nights and explore the city. Very safe, quiet and within walking distance to groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.

Residential neighborhood, with 24hrs security. The guards were very receptive, and they don't charge anything. We felt very safe.

Report Check-In

In a nice residential area, there’s security all day and night in the park. The street is narrow and some parking spots are blocked with cones, but was really ok to park a 7,5mt van.

Cuando pasamos por la calle habían conos indicando que no se podía estacionar, le preguntamos al guardia de la privada y nos quitó los conos para poder estacionar, nos dijo que este era el punto donde otros viajeros habían estacionado y pasado la noche.
El barrio es muy tranquilo, hay tránsito durante el día.
Subes las escaleras para el parque y ahí hay internet abierto.
Caminando hay una estación de servicio y un supermercado.
Pasamos 1 noche aquí.

What an awesome find! We askes one of the guards where we should park best, gave him and the other one who was in the next street a 7up and had a quiet night of sleep.

Good quiet spot. Asked the gaurd at the gate to move some cones for us for the day and he asked us to move to the spot without cones once the other cars move. Gave him a brownie and he was super happy.

Quiet place even during the weekends. Passports not requested by the Guards.

Big rig 3.5m high, 7.7m long just squeezed in under trees, as trees grow it might be a problem!
Guards moved plastic cones for me, gave them a copy of my UK passport for good measure.
Safe, quiet, excellent urban wild camping place.

Cómo dice la descripción, un lugar tranquilo y seguro para pasar la noche gratis. Perfecto para andar por los alrededores de día y llegar a dormir. El parque tiene baños, agua potable, área de juegos. Si pregunta al guarda podrían prestar una ducha.

this street is find behind the embassy of usa, it there has effectively of many guards but especially of types of barriers who prevent of park, of as much more that the street is to double direction and very small

Report Check-In

We spent two nights here. We felt very safe and quite on night. There are three or four guards around in the same street. Embassy of USA is just one street forward so security is 24/7. You will park next to a park so it will be great if you have a dog. There is also a small square with a lot of locals where you can play basketball. I just did and it was great !
