Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
*Overnight camping/parking is NOT available at this location.
.....
About 2km further away from the restaurant and campsite, you will find a big and flat opening on your right. It is not hidden from the road, but who cares? Camping is permitted here and road entry from the main road to Calakmul is monitored ( between the community boom and the park boom) so security should not be an issue. Access is very easy and there is plenty of space.
The road is tarred all the way to Calakmul. Some trees are low from km 20 to km 60 but smaller rigs will have no worries at all. At worst if you are taller, take your machete !
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
they closed the whole road for parking, because of an jaguar accident in sep 23, nothing possible, Park in front the 1. entrance.
Report Check-InSpend the night in our Ford F-250 with camper. Place is nice and I guess safe but be careful on this road with a big rig. We accidentally knocked a piece of our roof off by hitting a overhanging branch.
The road is doable with big rigs, just drive in the middle and be very careful. We hitchhiked with other travellers to the ruins in their rental car. I’d recommend to try and do it that way. It’s a long drive, maybe doable with a big rig but you gotta be careful or you end up at a mechanic like we did.
