still available with a safe feeling. pretty visible for everybody passing through town (which is very quiet at night) but directly at the train tracks (passes from time to time, not a huge problem). level asphalt, partly shade and a nice view of the canal if you ignore the fence. police doesn't mind overnight stays

small parking lot infront of the canal and train. trees for a little shade depending on the daytime. nice view of ships. we were there during the day, but could be nice and quite during the night. definitely better on weekeends than the malecon.

Nice place at the canal, seeing the ships (and an occasional train) passing pay. Safe (close to police station).

Perfect place to spend the night.
Just be aware that 4 or 5 huge train convoy cross the place during the night.
Otherwise, as described. With a little tienda 2 min away.

excellent place to sit in front of your motorhome and spot large ships. impressive by night. also you are in 5 minutes at 06 a.m. at the parking to jungle pipeline road.

Great place to rest and enjoy the ships on the canal and hiking trails. Suitable for all RV sizes. Showers and a microwave available across the street in the church. Potable water near by. Everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. Afternoon shade is limited. I was offered electricity from the building under construction. As I said, very friendly. Very, Very quiet here except for the 2 trains that pass before midnight. After that, very peaceful. Loud birds early in the morning.

Nous avons dormis un peu partout ici , sans sousi pour nous . Il y a une connexion Internet dispo à plusieurs endroits dans le village , s.i visitor sans mot de passe . De l'eau chez les pompiers et à l'église . Le pasteur vous proposera peut-être les banos de l'église et vous racontera son histoire . Curieux village ,un peu fantôme . Chargé en histoire lors la construction du canal . aller vers le gros resort , il y a plein de maisons coloniales plus ou moins abandonnés . Top pour observer les oiseaux ici et tout gratuit ....What else

We reached late at night, road from Panama City had heavy traffic. Road was good all the way until here. We were happy to find the big space to park and watch the shop pass by. Few trains that passed at night, if not really quiet and safe.

Police and fire station near by, picked up milk and yogurt from the near by shop. Lovely place.

Awesome spot right along the canal. Gamboa is small and we found everyone to be friendly. The spot here has no facilities, it is just a shady parking lot, but the view of the ships passing in the night is worth it.

We were even invited to church the next day across the street. The kindly pastor offered us the use of facilities in the church, but of course it's only open on Sunday as far as we know.

We felt very safe and the night was exceptionally quiet.

Nice parking lot next to the canal. Very quiet. The police drove by a few times. Very safe! Awesome view of the huge ships going by and the train. The train conductors would wave and honk at us. Pretty fun experience! Free!
