Check-Ins

I almost didn't find this until I switched to Satellite view on my Maps App. Then I saw the dirt road along the power lines that leads to it. A nice beautiful little spot. I was here in winter and just looking for a place to sleep and not have to vacate too early.

I came for the Transcanada.
Turn left onto Sandy Bay Road. it will curve right then left. Drive a little ways and look for a dirt road with powerlines running along it, it goes both left and right. Turn right. Road is uneven with some deeper spots. Clearance may be an issue for some vehicles. As described, at the end is a bit of a clearing. Big eough to turn around in, and for a few vehicles.

Ferry does not have a fixed schedule, but just runs back and forth continuously when there are vehicles. Smooth and professional! Payment is done on the French side only (cash or card). 56€ up to 3,5ton, 77€ above 3,5t. Includes the driver, extra passengers 4€. Border paperwork quick and easy. Currently still the old ferry in operation (8 car max), but the new ferry(20cars) is ready for operation as soon as the extention works on the Suriname side are finished… maybe a few more months.

You can squeeae trough the trees and park right next to the carbets, possible to be fully iut of sight of the road. It’s a nice spot in a magical jungle setting with surprisingly little mosquitoes. There is a lot of hunting (illegal?) in the area, so there are some people with guns walking around. If you planned to walk around the forest at night making animal noises… this is not the place to do it!

Along the Vias Verdes del Litoral, next to an old train station with benches. Better to avoid here on weekends if you want a good night's rest, as teenagers will sometimes wander nearby.

Definately not a bad view, but it’s right next to the road. Quite a bit of visitors (take a photo and go) during the the day. Only had lunch here, did not stay the night.

Shea Road going out of Parker is paved but full of huge potholes making the first few miles a nasty drive. It improves once you pass a cattle guard. Land on the west side of the road is posted “no camping” but if you continue, you’ll reach some open areas with plenty of room to park. Depending on your neighbors, it can be quiet. There is the usual amount of BLM trash and broken glass- some but not overwhelming. Great ATT coverage.

O padre da igreja foi muito antipatico, não gosta que estacionem ali, ao menos de deixem uma contribuição “expontânea” de 50 reais por noite, e não tem nenhuma facilidade, não libera água nem energia!

Ficamos nossas noites no bosque municipal! Vou deixar o ponto aqui no app tbm, tem todas as facilidades menos chuveiro, mas tem agua, energia e churrasqueira, além de lugares retos para estacionar.

We didn’t stay there because they wanted to charge us 650 for two adults and we couldn’t park where we want even if there is a very large grassy land.
Also, the lady was not friendly at all.

Big parking lot, a lot of traffic, very convenient . Next to a trial. Very windy.

really great place to stay. we only took a coffee, but it is incredible! quiet, only river, nature, some birds and from time to time a car or truck passing the RN25. the first step is possible with 2x4, only directly near the river you should have 4x4

local com excelente infraestrutura pagamos 12.000,00 pessoas por dia ,banheiro limpos, água e luz

There was only one other RV there. We had a good sleep. It was very quiet. There was plenty of grass for our dog and everyone seemed to pick up after their dogs because we didn’t see any land mines. The staff was friendly and showed us where to plug in. Because it’s hard to find a level spot, we didn’t plug in. We were more concerned about being as level as possible (B+ motorhome without levellers). We recommend this place.

Entrance for Volcano Lascar Hike as well (still 10 000 per person)
Gate open at 6:00 and close at 17:30

Arrived at 11PM and left at 7:30 AM. I was alone. Really quiet. No issues.

Local bom para pernoites. Fiquei 3 noites muito tranquilas...bem silencioso. Em frente ao num 483 ( hostel Maraga) ha tomada 220V no banheiro publuco e agua uns 300m a frente. Banho no restaurante prox ás torneiras. Wifi so das pousadas. Local lindo..calmo e perto de tudo no centrinho

The shop/ cafe is a very popular venue for locals to social over a few drinks.
The trucks like to honk their horns throughout the night.
The cafe did share the WiFi and there is cleanish toilets.

hose was attached for the dump water station when we went. Left side of gas station.

Lovely rural small campsite. Beautiful views. Ideal for tents and 4x4 with roof tents. The owner is quite a character who can speak French, German and English. Facilities basic but adequate.

Chegamos na parte da tarde, dormimos uma noite bem tranquila, ao lado tem 2 mercados e posto de combustível.

Still the same as previous comments but not very noisy but great view of mountains across the reservoir

great campground well looked after . shower and toilets clean. one if the best campground s we've seen in Argentina. 8500pesos for 2 for the night.
un des meilleurs camping que nous avons vu. super propre et bien entrenue

Interesting museum, the mummies are impressive. The price is 30 sol for adults and 5 sol for children.

The site is still under construction. Price is 30 sol for adults and 2 sol for children. You must book on internet at least the day before. Personally we were disappointed, between the works, the guards who stick you to the pants and the closed information center we found it a little expensive. We came by the south track from Nogalcucho, it is in good condition. On the other hand, the parking lot is tiny and it is clearly not for the large vehicle.

Went early morning before the crowd. Had a great visit. Amazing to think of what it took to build and live here.

Absolutely huge parking lot fitting a hundred transports easily. Very safe and just your average truck stop noise.

Terrible place. We woke up in the middle of the night covered in bed bug bites. Should not have been a surprise. Very run down. Still no water. Bad smell.

Surprisingly, this place isn't on iOverlander yet. The detour here and to the village is well worth it. Access to the site for 12COP pp. Access by small vehicle possible (track). 35-minute walk up from the village, with lovely views. Cabs available in town.

as previously said, it's a nice spot for a couple of nights.

RV register was closed early so got the parking slot from the hotel desk. They said we could have gotten the permit from valet. Enjoyed our free perks . The food was adequate.

VERY MUDDY AFTER RAIN, 4x4 recommend if wet. Went out to scope out a spot next to river and got stuck in mud 20 feet into the area right when we were going to turn around. Would have been a great spot to camp otherwise.
