i think it's a good deal, buy food, sleep for free. the restaurant and camping aren't the best but for 1 night it is OK.

I agree with the last review - great free camp spot. Lots of options for tent camping, big parking lot for rigs, free bathrooms and showers, and sick views. What more could you want? Haha.

Also, no mosquitos when I was there, didn’t even set up my tent, just slept on the big wooden stage.

I don't know what high demands people make for a free campspot. There is an enormous level parkinglot. Two cold shower, lots of toilets, huge sink to wash cloths, lots of different places to sit, eat, relax. If you are camping you can pitch your tent in many different locations, but you can also choose to sleep under a big roof, in one of the little buildings around, on the open air stage with roof, in the disco or in the cock fight arena :) Everything except the arena was pretty clean.
Lot's of space for children to play.
Maybe in high season there are more people here? I was alone.
The owners are friendly and relaxed. Kind of "sure, you can sleep here. There are toilets and showers around the building." That's it. Didn't charge anything.
Beer (Big bottle 10,-) is cold, food was ok, but not the best (10-30 Soles). They had fresh fish and don't only fry. There's a kind of fishsoup too.
At least for cyclists it's a paradise!
AND: Almost no mosquitos (beginning of december)!

this place has seen its best times. you can still stay at the gravel parking lot which is bi lg and level for free. however, no showers, the toilets are dirty and the food was just all fried: fish plantain, yukka and some non fried rice. if you have time, I would probably drive further the next time.

This place is fantastic. Just like the person before us described, they let us camp on their football field for free and not only that, they also let us use the facilities (including a warm shower) for free.
The family is setting up a fantastic place there. The son (Jhoy) showed us their Trucha farm, their own private waterfall with hydroelectric powerplant, fruit and vegetable garden, etc. pp. It is truly so much more than we expected when we stopped her at 10pm just looking for a safe place to sleep. And the food they offer is incredibly good and affordable (Lomo saltado or pollo saltado for 12PEN each).
If you pass by here, you should definitely stop.
PLEASE see pictures attached.

Kind of truck stop. We asked and got shown a spot next to the soccer field. Further away from the street than under the fig tree 2 km down the road.
Very quiet, toilets and cold showers, all for free. Water is available, but we haven't asked if its portable.
We had only 2 beers, but you can just park here for free as well, very friendly owners.
Meals are 10 Soles.

Large field with covered spaces next to a restaurant. The family that owns the place doesn't charge for camping.

They have wifi (quality unsure, we only stopped for lunch), toilets with running water, showers and electro (220V).

Beautiful views of the mountains and a 15 minute walk from a large waterfall. Looks like a good place to stop if you need to avoid the coastal highways during rainy season.

Things may get loud on Saturdays, when there are cock fights.

Good food in the restaurant!
