Check-Ins

Beautiful and perfect place to camp, relax and make a woodfire. The unique problem is that the river / waterfall that little will be possible will be able to see and enjoy. Agriculture is using the water from the waterfall and now when we were not had waterfall and almost nothing water in the waterfall, very slippery to get close to where you have water. I believe that has other waterfalls with water and beautiful also in this region that can be able to harness more!

Did not get into the yard of the subprefecture but did camp in front of the police station across the road. Police commander was a really nice guy keen to practice his English. He also took us to a place for the best spaghetti and omelette ever (across the traffic circle). Maybe we were also very hungry. No toilet or shower available. Two night clubs competing for most distorted music (both winners for sure) played for a while but after the road of the day not much was keeping me awake so not sure what time they shut up shop.

General trader next door sells Airtel SIM cards and data.

Good safe spot after a tiring day.

Arrived right as closing (5 pm in off season), and much later and the owners might have been gone/gate closed. If tent camping, not the best spot as the parking lot (where we got permission to camp) is mostly stony and has limited wind protection. Choose between gravel/not pegging your tent or wind with less gravel.
Still, glad they let us camp and checking out the cafe and museum in the morning.
Low season hours 11-5, closed Wednesdays and off season.

We stayed one night without any problems. The lot fits aprox. 50 cars. We arrived at 7pm and found a few spots available because there were games going on at the park. Once everyone left, more spots became available so we moved to a spot that faced the park and was below a street light. We left around 8:30am the next morning. At that time, you can already hear people exercising and enjoying the park.

It os closed ay the moment, apparently. :(

Worth the visit. A great collection of fabrics, clothes, feathers, masks.

Simple but nice and very clean hotel. We made our coffee and breakfast on the tables outside of the room. This was fine for them.
Only small cars will fit inside the gate.

Ramio is a very friendly and helpful mechanic. He has a clean garage and good experience.
Recommended by the local Landrover group and we got a perfect work on our Defender at very good price.

at the back of the copec there is place to park your car/van/tent. the people of the copec say its oke to sleep here

They have good prices, but it's kind of like a Costco : on most things, the portions are huge! I love olives but I don't have room for 2kg of it! They also only take their own credit card, so bring cash.

You'd need to be pretty desperate to sleep here... The grass is full of trash and the toilets are filthy! Just do yourself a favor and drive the extra km to the lagoon.

Not a bad spot, but manage your expectations, it's nothing special. You probably saw dozens of much nicer beaches if you are coming from the north.

Edit : Writing this at 8 am the next day. Avoid this place in the weekend! At night it turned into a discotheque with 3 different parties competing to have their music the loudest and as of right now, the party is still going. I thought the cold would chase them away as it got cold at one point, but I get you don't feel it when you are dancing high on coke.

Great place to spend the night in the center of the city. Just a toilet, no shower. 2,60 meters of high. Staff friendly.

600 pesos for 24 hours.

Good camping, with wifi, potable water and hot showers. Very close the center of the village.

300 per person/night. No charge for the MH.

An update; March 2020. Still a great place with very friendly people and the best food we’ve had in Egypt so far. We paid LE 350 per night; we slept in our own truck but got a room for using the wc and shower. The Stella’s are still cold and cost LE 50/Euro 3,15. The diner is LE 110 for an amount of food that can easily feed 4 pax. Luxor might not be as busy as Cairo and Alex, but it’s still a noisy city with lots of traffic and combined with the heat, it can wear you down. But as soon as you enter the gate, it is cool, the noises fade away and the lovely, relaxed staff does not hunt you down. And it has enough room for our 8 mtr rig.

This is a luxurious very exclusive campsite. It's not allow to camp in your camping equipment. The price of a romm is 13000 NB around 850 usd!!! But it's amazing! :)

Stayed here due to the reviews and it did not disappoint. Beautiful setting with a mountain backdrop on a luxurious site. 2 swimming pools - super clean. Very clean toilet and shower. Braais available to use. Owners are very informative and helpful - drove us in to town one day. Walking distance of local vinyards. Paid 300 a night for a tent with 2 people.

Told by a local this is the road to camp on “to escape the rule of the nanny state” there’s pull it’s with plenty of space all along the road that’s BLM land. Lots of level places with great views. No make ties but had great service and LTE

Seems like a GREAT and comfortable option in Palenque!!

Do not accept pets... we did not stay.

After looking for a decent spot to decompress we drove to the next iOverlander spot 45 mins away at Roberto Barrios- which was so good!

Wasn’t for us. Seemed unmaintained and did not seem clear where we could park our sprinter. We didn’t stay- Would be okay for a night.

we arrived in the afternoon and the party was getting started, we have dogs and we usually look for somewhere we can all relax.

Moved in to Roberto Barrios 45 mins down the road. Worth it!!!

Stunning falls.

Dogs are allowed

We all cooled off and dipped out as it’s a pretty busy location.

Pay up and move on.

This is how it works in Chiapas

Very nice little hotel, only 3 rooms. The best value we got so far: only 10.000 CFA for a/c room, hot water shower, a comfortable bed, and a big room with 2 chairs and a table and a small terrace. We were there at a Saturday, but it was very quiet.
The restaurant is also good and there is a nice outside terrace to drink a beer. Everyone is very friendly.
Highly recommended!

I can second that the price is 200pp now. Nice Camp, still under construction though. During the day you can hear construction noise. Nice lookout/hide to a man made waterhole. We were also invited for dinner, which was a very nice gesture

Nice campground at the beach with friendly owner. Parillas, cold showers, basic baños, fantastic sunset. Slept here before project dino further nord and enjoyed it a lot. 620 pesos/night for two persons and one car.

Update: in low season the campground is only open on weekends and ferias. Don‘t know about high season.

Good laundry service, same day. Brought a huge amount of clothes, sheets, towels, etc around noon and was finished till 5.30 pm. Friendly people. Payed 1200 ar pesos. Open every day.

Doesn‘t exist anymore. Here is now a store that sells cleaning products.

crossed the border from Egypt to Sudan on a Saturday. Kamal, Mohammed and Mazar (and his cousin Hassan) seem to work together, where Kamal seems to be in the lead. They told us you can't cross on Fridays, but on Friday we met someone who did cross the border from Sudan to Egypt...

At the Sudanese border you need a fixer otherwise you won't get trough. Hassan didn't mention a price at beforehand, he was really busy. After a long wait (4 hrs) everything was ok and we were let out. He then tried to RIP us of mentioning a price of $ 100. With the recent stories of iOverlander we knew it should be $ 40. After a long time of haggling we agreed on 3.000 SDG, now equivalent of € 30.

We stayed with this nice family and felt welcome. We enjoyed the calm nicht and the delicious milk products. Even if you do not stay for the night , we can definitely recommend to pass by the shop and get some cheese or Joghurt. It's open every day.
