Check-Ins

nice place to camp and hike, fire pits in most spots with a lot of wood laying around, good trails around and big rig friendly. was low 40s in early April, lots of birds and saw a mountain lion on the drive out

Was very windy but decent. A few trash dumpsters, train noise

Totally trashed area (including State Trust Lands)! People bring out toilets, kayaks, tv's, bottles, cans, plastic to shoot up and leave all the debris. I saw more plastic bottles than I've seen in a full size Grocery in less than 1 acre. Obviously locals because what traveler brings an old toilet to decimate? Sad.

The nicest rest stop we've ever stayed at. It is a Texas safety stop in a park-like setting. There is someone on-site 24/7 and the facilities are super clean. There are 2 sections of the restroom building (separate handicap restrooms) that also double as tornado shelters with reinforced doors and walls. T-mobile internet was good.

Very nice and quiet place. Bathrooms are super clean, there are 5, all have showers. There is electricity, a washing machine and a sink. (Dan helped us with a long power cable). Nothing to add really, just confirming all the comments before. If you visit in spring, you will also enjoy the trees blooming. The town is very cute and it’s worth going for a walk. You also have to visit the fortified church, it’s really something to see.

Wanted to add that the price for a car, one tent and a 3.5m x 3.5m and two people was around 17.5 eur / day
Also seemed like a dog / cat friendly place

Such a beautiful spot. No one bothered us but no cell reception.

One of the most quiet QB's I've been in, you can barely hear the highway. Very clean lot.

As described but there are signs as you leave the interstate (see pic). They are big signs, but easy to miss because still going fast. Walked back to get photo.
I stayed here with no problem, but technically… bummer :(

Spent one night here. Nice and quiet, nobody bothered us. Parked on the outer perimeter of the parking lot.

Lots of people here on a Saturday night. Was able to go further down the stream and be secluded.

Good location to sleep. It some kind of gravel pit for road works. Hidden from the road, quiet night.

There can camp like three vehicles.

Drove here after rain, little muddy and slippery. Beautiful to drive, road conditions was still good.

Friendly people and nice forest around. Some logging traffic and motor bikes

we arrived late in the afternoon and found a place to stay with drinking water and electricity

First and foremost, DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE MAPS. If it is taking you another route to get into the plains that is not Soda Lake road, reset it and make sure you are entering the monument from Soda Lake road, unless of course you have a really great offroading vehicle. I do not and have a 2wd Van and got stuck. As everyone has said before, it is not really possible to travel through the plains when it is rainy. But, with all that said, if you come on a nice dry day, really camping anywhere in the monument is wonderful. I talked to a ranger and he said pretty much any pullout is fair game as long as overnight parking goes. These are not the exact coordinates where I camped, but I pulled in at a spot north of Trevor ranch. Tractors where parked on the pulloff, but the road went a little way and ended with a roundabout. the views were beautiful and I was not bothered. service is spotty but most of the way along the main road I had 5G. Starlink had no obstructions. There is no water and few restrooms, so make sure you plan for that because you are going to want to stay for as long as your supplies allow. It is so beautiful and what camping is all about.

Arriving to Aqaba from Nuweiba
Ferry left Nuweiba 14:20, schedule was 13:00
Arriving outside Aqaba port at 17:00, the gates only opened 2 hours later at 19:00.
X-ray scan for the motorcycle is the first stop. They give you a card you have to present at every step, and hand in at the final gate.
Inside the large arrival building, find the insurance office. Motorbike 1 month 27 JOD. There are two phone companies selling sim cards, and a money changer (bad rate).
Find the customs office, go to window 5, get your CdP stamped, and pay 20 JOD for your Jordanian license.
By the time I had done that, the downstairs immigration hall had vanished, and I had to walk around the large building and go upstairs to get my passport stamped. Long lines of truck drivers, half hour.

nice lodge, fresh water is an issue. but you can desinfect or buy water.
beautiful cabin 30k including breakfast and dinner.
bunk beds 10k.
dinner 5k, breakfast 2.5k
camping 8k.
beer 3k
this is the perfect spot to spend a night. if you do not want to pay, you can sleep in the intermediate hut, or hut 3 if you being your own blanket and mattress (cold nights). there is water captured from the roof in those places.

We travel by bicycle. We spent a night along the river. Few flat spots for several tents. Very quiet. Internet works perfectly there. Water river wasn’t cold.

Dorm accommodation with 3 meals provided for 500 Nepali rupees a night. Parking available for motorcycle.

It’s free with plenty of space. Great for a night or two. Don’t expect a quiet camping experience. I’ve stayed here twice. Locals use this place for recreation and fishing and will continue to do so regardless of what you are doing.

water spigot on the right of the building. no hose just a spigot. super nice staff, stay respectful folks.

Aa described by everyone! Toilets are extremely clean and the family are suuuper nice and friendly!
But the thing that nobody comment is that was noisy. From the other campers, street, dogs, cats, etc. A looot of noise, I don’t understand why everyone says that is quiet!
55dirham one person, moto and tent.

Awesome view off the rock when you climb it. fire rings and some old chairs up there too. but no view from the spot itself. so consider that. road up is terrible. but we made it with a large truck camper and just in 2wd -f250

Hidden gem! Stayed two nights along the "lake" (dry). Nice and quiet, was only a few other RV's there. If you dislike packed RV parks this is the place for you. $15/night power + water

Arrive between 4 and 4:30 p.m. to park up for the night before your ferry the next morning. I didn't even have to be sneaky - the guy I spoke to said people do it all the time they leave a small gate open for people to go in and out. perfect!

Very clean and quiet spot. There were a few other campers around but it wasn't hard finding a secluded spot when we pulled in around midnight. Smooth roads, very level ground and a few fire pits in certain spots. Highly recommend this spot, the sunrise is gorgeous!

Local muito tranquilo. Excelente para descansar. Recomendamos.

Stayed here and other sites in the NF over the course of 4 days; there were plenty of sites to choose from spread out down essentially each road you take. Was even able to find a site during the weekend of the 2024 eclipse, so there's a good chance you'll find one yourself. Primitive, but simple fire pits seem to be at most sites.

Stopped off for an overnight camp on our way north, campsite was empty and at 440 , it was a bit steep. Reception wasn’t very accommodating.Decided to move on a bit more where we found an amazing place

Beautiful, peaceful campsite next to waterhole, large enough for our camper truck. Friendly staff and well priced for what you get. Clean private ablutions and clean swimming pool for hot days. Sad we can’t stay longer
