we spent 5 great days at Misfits, the place is really ideal for relaxing, everything is basic but the atmosphere is really cool. the shower is ok, the kitchen helps out well, plenty of places to relax and direct access to the sea. perfect for the price of 20S for two, it's unbeatable. Already the second time we come and we are never disappointed. the two pluses are a free access bodyboard and Jaimie, the owner who is adorable, is doing his best to rebuild this place.

behind street (NE 12th St) it was a quiet night.

Nice crossing. No issues on a Sunday morning. Albania to Macedonia

amazing place, high quality museum, english texts also.

There are a few other spots along this backcountry road. Hike up Monte Turchio.
Quiet and great views of Etna and the lowlands. In the lava fields, good phone reception.

excellent. high pressure, no problems to park nearby.

lugar sem nemhuma estrutura porém o suficiente para dormir ... tranquiloe seguro ... vista da cidade e montanhas.

close to where you get on/off the buses. Restaurant serves variety of food, traditional Peruvian, Italian, Mexican etc. My husband had Lomo Saltado and I had spaghetti bolanaise. top quality steak for the lomo and super tasty spaghetti bol. Tourist prices but definitely great food. Friendly attentive staff

not so bad for the noise, sure, it's a rest area, but we feel secure. Stay one night, 8 PM on saterday. Just before Sedona.

Área de descanso com banheiros e chuveiros. Tem nos dois lados da rodovia.

I was referred to this place by the US Park police who patrol the neighboring area (the Presidio) and Crissy Field. They said that they had witnessed RVs parking in this lot and did not think that the store would mind. I confirmed this with the security guard at the Safeway and he also said it would be OK to park and sleep in the parking lot.

In fact, there were a lot of cars that were parked here overnight with people sleeping inside. My guess is that this was a popular place for Uber drivers.

It’s a busy area, but the location is very good and I felt safe. I was in a van.

I stayed here last night, just a gravel lot with electric hookups that were off and some water hookups I didn't try. This is a nice park with playground and swimming pool so I doubt it would be very quiet in warmer weather but it was a nice spot to get some rest. Running water in the bathrooms, hot water in the sink. Electric outlet in there if you needed to charge your phone ect... Covered picnic tables, grills and fire pits. I only saw one other person walking their dog but it's been chilly and raining.

Water spigot and mountain bike trailhead parking. No camping.

Wonderful little facility for a small town! $6 for a hot shower in one of the three stalls in a shared change room. No privacy in the change room but there are drapes covering the shower stalls.

reverse osmosis water, $0.25/gallon. can fill large jugs here.

This is the best place to van or tent camp while surfing or visiting Punta Mango. Carmelo’s beach-front location is directly on the long, sandy, beautiful beach attached to the short and rocky beach of Punta Mango. He owns a few large palapas with hammocks, tables, chairs, outdoor showers, and a flushing toilet. A 2-minute walk down the beach is an empty sandy lot he is developing with a friend for camping. Currently you drive onto the beach and then into his lot. You can also use his facilities and hangout spot. However, they are in the process of building a road directly onto the lot to cut out the beach drive. The current road onto the beach is definitely 4x4 required. Getting down was pretty easy, but we needed 4x4 and airing down our tires to get back up in our Sprinter van. You can’t drive the beach at high tide. It was $5 USD/night per person. The pin is marking where our van was parked. To get there, drive down the “Punta Mango Access Road” that has the Punta Mango Hotel and Restaurant at the end. The lot will be on your right before you reach the hotel. It might have a gate, so text Carmelo on WhatsApp to let him know you are coming! +503 6860 3836. This will likely become unnecessary when the road is finished being built. We checked out Cielo y Mar (another iOverlander location nearby), but it was more of a dusty parking lot on the rocky beach (with less nice facilities). We much preferred the beautiful beach set-up. See photos.

Michigan City Park, North Dakota
Level grassy site
Clean bathroom
Electric available
Basketball Court, duffers golf course, horseshoe pits

Water spigot on side of restrooms, clearly marked. Not threaded, button press, so a jug is needed. There is another spigot that is threaded for a hose that could be turned on with a tool.

Beautiful Place with nearly leveld ground. Stayed one night, since it rained the whole day the street was a bit muddy but even without 4x4 no problem. A stunning view included.

Prices seem fixed:
Single room with fan - 5000 CFA
Double room with fan - 10000 CFA
Double room with AC - 20000 CFA
Dormitory room with fan - 2000 CFA

We wanted to stay in the dormitory, but we got told that it's not available at the moment. Not sure why.

We ended up staying in a double room with fan.

Room had a basic ensuite bathroom:
Sink, but no mirror
Toilet, but no toilet seat (there's free toilet paper though!)
Shower, but only cold and no actual shower head.

Wifi available, which was actually fairly decent.
We seemed to be the only guests here.

Overall a pretty okay place.

We wanted to update the comments below as they are not accurate. For 200 Leones which is more expensive than the proper campsites around, you get only a parking space for your car in front of the beach (at the car park). The salty shower is outside the building without any privacy, right in front of the bar/restaurant area, surrounded by the tables and obviously people can see you, including the stuff that is happy to watch the show. The toilets are 1 male and 1 female, shared also by the stuff members and all the clients. There is no electricity and the water 6 months a year is salty from the borehall, so not suitable to fill up your tanks. Moreover, while we were having dinner, a few men and woman were coming nearby to piss, right in front or next to us ... There is a lot of room for improvement and we discussed this issues with the owners, so they dropped the price to 150 leones, because of the inconveniences we had. The place itself is beautiful and quite compared to what's available around but do keep these things in kind before coming here. Also the road to get here, around 2 km is a bit bumpy off road. You can pay 300 to have access/use of a bathroom in a room for more privacy if available. Check the prices and the facilities before agreeing to a price/staying. Despite all of this, the owner was reasonable and it's a good standard for "Africa".

Very bad Road condition, thousands of big potholes between Aportado and Necoccli

we hitchhiked from St Louis to Dakar and passed by 3 corrupt police checkpoints along the way.

Every time it went the exact same:
Police would pull us over
Police officer walks to our car and asks for some papers, our driver gave him the papers, they exchanged some words and the police officer would walk back to his police post.

Our driver would then put 1000 CFA (€1.50) inbetween some papers, get out of the car and walk over to the police officer to hand him the papers.

Police officer takes the papers, takes out the money and then hands the paperwork back to our driver after which we were free to go

Our driver explained that "this is just how things go in Africa" and that if you don't give them some money they'll find something wrong with your car and fine you instead.

I'm not saying you should start bribing police officer, just sharing our experience of how we've seen locals deal with these corrupt check points.

Funnily enough none of the checkpoints seemed to care about us being in the car, they didn't even ask for our passports.

Many picnic tables and grills here and some are under a large roof. Nice vault toilets. No potable water here but Big Meadows Campground has that. Several trailheads. Day use only. No camping sign posted.

Free established campsite with picnic table and fire ring with grate next to stream. This site will be occupied early on weekends.
