Check-Ins

Overnight van parking is now $35, which feels a little steep (especially for some lopsided parking spots) but you do get access to pretty nice showers, the kitchen, common areas, and are close to downtown.

There's a small unused tin shelter here. I camped outside for a little wind protection. Worst case, you could probably go inside.

Very quiet spot close to a path. OK for a tent or a vehicule.
Mobil phone ok

Not what we expected, certanly not a bubble...there is a Village nearby and you are literally hiding in a building 50mt from the road, it was very hot and the path to enter from the street was overgrown. The idea of being between walls ( and no air circulation ) was not appealing, we did not stay and luckily we found another spot just down the road driving westbound, i have also added that on Ioverlander

The first campsite you come to driving west is best because it's set back from this road which is used by locals who commute in the early morning. Further along there are, I think, three more sites but some used on weekends by young locals to party. Saw fireflies here late in April.

Pernoitamos 2 noites ao lado.da praça GRAMADÃO em foz do Iguaçu. Há TRAILERS de lanches no local, pizzaria, sushi e sorveteira.
o Lugar é seguro, sossegado, porém as sextas e sábados o movimento passa das 00:00h.
dá pra ir pra ciudad del este de taxi

perfect, possible to refill water. Very helpful person. possible to refill built-in tank propane

quiet corner by the river. we continued the road for a few hundred meters from this point and settled in front of the finca valleros which has a swimming pool (20 bowls per person) if you prefer that to the river. on foot you can cross the river and follow a small path which leads back to the town center where there are restaurants and small shops. on the other side of the river there is also a large tourist complex with 2 swimming pools and slides at 30 bowls per person per day.

coin tranquille au bord de la rivière. nous avons continué la route sur quelques centaines de mètres par rapport à ce point et nous sommes installés en face du finca valleros qui possède une piscine ( 20 bols par personne) si vous préférez ça à la rivière. à pied vous pouvez traverser la rivière et suivre un petit chemin qui ramène vers le centre ville où il y a des restaurants et de petits commerces. de l’autre côté de la rivière il y a aussi un gros complexe touristique avec 2 piscines et toboggans à 30 bols par personne et par jour.

Once you turn off here the road is really rough and not many spots to choose from, it would be best to walk around and find a place and make sure you can get there before you drive it since there aren’t places to turn around. Verizon signal was weak. It was ok for a night to get an early start on some hikes the next day.

The parking located at the right of the catedral is a bit better, because it is not on the main street.
This parking is full up to 7 pm, when local people leave. Be patient!
We had a good night.

Nice camping only 12km away from Las pozas. 130 PpP. Wi-Fi also in the camping aera

Convenient large parking lot to overnight in behind the travel center. Make sure you park consciously so the semis can get in and out easily. Plenty of room for everyone though. Inside the gravel center there are showers and laundry available, and two free air pumps for refilling your tires! Quiet at night, would definitely stay again

As reported previously, no problems with staying a night. Asked Walmart customer service and they said it wouldn’t be a problem but to be wary of some homeless people that frequent the site. I didn’t have any issues. The Walmart was a great chance to stock up after crossing the border. Stayed here in a 35’ fifth wheel. Plenty of room.

Lots of room to park here. I didn’t see anyone else. I didn’t have any issues.
There is a lot of trash but it just looks like it would be from locals coming to party here. I picked up a trash bag full of beer bottles 😭

Belle place avec beaucoup de spot. Nous étions plusieurs van mais avec une très bonne distance.

Très près de l’entrée sud du parc mais on n’entend pas l’autoroute.

Muy agradable y tranquilo, con hermosas vistas al lago. Pasamos tres noches, dos de las cuales completamente solos (temporada baja). Por momentos se sentía demasiado tranquilo y algo desolado. A diferencia de algunos comentarios que leí, no creo que la señal de claro sea fuerte, sirve para mandar WhatsApp y algo básico, pero trabajar o ver Netflix se hace complicado.

The place is on the left side of the street and is called “Inmobiliaria Urtado”. From outside there are no signs they exchange money. They close between 13:00 and 17:00h. On Saturdays they are only open until 13:00h and on Sundays they are closed. We were told by several locals that this is the only place to exchange money in town. We tried several ATMs and none of them had money.

I spent the night here. really great spot, would recommend. I also was woken up at 7am to the douche man honking.

spot is okay for one night. a few bushes to hide a little bit and you'll only have to drive a few meters from the main road.

We stayed here 2 nights. It’s 7,000 per person per night.
The hot water for showers in the off season is turned off but the cold water was pretty nice! The owner is super nice as well, he also offered a warm shower in his place.
We took the bus into Valparaiso for a day which was very convenient. 600pesos on the 520 bus, on the corner of Av Principal & F-98-G.

No snow on roads in and the gate was open, vault toilets unlocked but no toilet paper. the first 2 sites as you drive in are not the most level but the ones for RVs by the toilets are pretty good although you'll have relatively close neighbors.

Unfortunately, new ‘No Parking 11pm-5am’ signs have been put up all along N. San Pedro Blvd within a mile or two of the park entrance, and appear to indicate that overnight parking is no longer allowed in this spot or others nearby.

Gorgeous boat ramp parking lot. Bathrooms open and well kept. No hot water though. Great views of the river and mountains. No one bothered us. Saw a big RV park overnight earlier in the week as well.

water water is located next to the air pump little bit low pressure but easy fill up

Excelente lugar para quedarse en Puno, ya nos habían comentado que era peligroso asique fuimos directamente a este estacionamiento, por una sprinter larga nos cobraron 50 soles por dos días y medio, dormimos una noche en el estacionamiento y todo Perfecto!

Excellent place to stay in Puno, they had already told us that it was dangerous so we went directly to this parking lot, for a long sprinter we payed 50 soles for two and a half days, we slept one night in the parking lot and everything was perfect

Same comments as below. Gilma is an amazing host with a beautiful home who is skilled in the art of balancing being friendly and approachable while still giving her guests privacy. Her garden and views from the common area are stunning, and we ended up spending more time enjoying camp than enjoying the towns, which are under construction at the moment. Great space to spread and do a long needed deep clean of our camper. 100% recommend and would love to come back some day.

Nice rec center! I was charged $5 for my shower, but still not bad at all. Private shower stalls. Water is HOT and no time limit as mentioned previously.

The hostel is invisible from outside, knock on the blue double door, someone will come. They are under construction and it might last for a while so it's more dirty and messy than usual. Inside is quite nice with beautiful with decorative plants and art. But it's very far from being luxurious, the shared toilets fall appart, the shower is dirty and the kitchen is as dirty as messy. The beds are on the floor like traditional Iranian bedrooms and is nice and clean.
They accept almost only travelers, you'll find here interesting people who speak English for the best price in town (8€ in building condition)

Yurt Camp with around 30 yurts. Best view over the Aral sea. The price for a night is euro 50,- per person including diner, lunch and breakfast. The staff is very nice and helpful.
From here you can also book Aral sea tours.
The yurts are large and clean and they also have dorm beds.
The view from the relax area is just fantastic and the sunrise over the sea beautiful.

All though all the water has to be carried in by the camp ,you can take a good (cold) shower and they supply you free drinking water on request.

I advise you to never drive on the beach. We got stuck and payed euro 1.500,- for a recovery which took 5 days. The recovery team had to come from Muynak.

Ther is a satellite phone +99 956914939. Booking in advanced is easiest via Aral Sea Discovery www.besqala.com

No wifi, no cellular coverage, all though Ucell was placing a cell tower during our stay. I do not know if it is activated and working.

This camp is much better then the Aral Plaza camp at the lake shore. On the beach you are sandblasted by the strong wind and the beach sand and there is no place in the shade other than in the restaurant.
