Check-Ins

Great place as described. I was the only person here again. Lots of pitches under trees. Little kitchen area with gas. Gas hot water for showers. Even in the sinks! Electricity, lights, potable water outlets. WiFi near reception. Access to the lake for awesome sunset photos. Friendly dogs. Ars150 pp plus Ars70 for the van.

Border check. Passports. Asked for nationality

Tent and camper friendly area. Nice view of coast and ships in the nearby port. Many car tracks around with a few locals fishing.

A quiet place for the week-end in Brazil ! Yes here ! too much noise is forbidden night and days ! We spent 3 nights here very quiet ! Grassy spaces very clean with a kitchen for campers sanitary water and electricity (110v) 150 m from the sea ! Place fits bigs rigs. I mean really big ! (Man 6x6)
It is a parking during the week-end but empty after 5 pm ! It was closed when we arrived on Friday afternoon don’t hesitate to knock at the main gate ! 40 R p/p the price for peace !

May 2018, still open. Rather loud at night but close to town. Shower was hot! 2500.-

A nice restaurant on the beginning of Rp 14. Friendly owner he opened the parador this week. We drank a coffee and took a sandwich. Beautiful view over the valley. See pictures. The road Rp 14 is a beautifull road to follow.

This is a very nice looking little "resort" with cabañas for 400 pesos/night and a very nice swimming pool area. They seemed surprised by the request, but allowed allowed us to park in their grass parking lot by the cabañas for 100 pesos. It's located in the 2nd gate on the left as you drive down the lane, so it's away from the highway. (It is by the chicken coop populated with enthusiastic roosters, though.) We're 28' long and had no problem turning in through the gate. Long rigs might not be able to make the turn.

Just a Rest Area on Highway 16 with public restrooms near to the Antons Lake. Had a good quit night with a tent.

400 pp without breakfast but private room with Tv

Nice and clean family run hotel in the middle of town with secure parking for several cars and lots of motorbikes. 75q for a double room with fan 125q for a three bed room with air conditioning, all rooms have private bathroom and flat screen TV

Great street from Garzon to Plata. Nice, great trees and landscape, sometimes narrow, but here it changed to no asphalt (sometimes yes, sometimes no). Not a problem at all, but again a bit rough. You should know it.

Not possible for a hight as ours (3,90 m) because of the gate.

Boat ramp with a large parking lot on the North East Arm of Watauga Lake with a beautiful view across the lake of large cottages. It's at the end of a long paved, but very pot holed road. The boat ramp was super quiet and dark, but has no amenities. The parking lot is flat, no hunting for the perfect spot! You can swim here, and there are no signs discouraging overnight parking or camping. Not many people were here using the boat ramp while we were here, but it was rainy.... Great for a night or two.

Nice and clean bathrooms

5000 was also the price for me alone. Great black sand beach and cold spring fresh water swimming 'pool'. It was very busy on Sunday afternoon when I pulled in but everyone left by 6pm and the night in the shady parking lot was peaceful.

Still 3000. Nice project. 7 different primates including gorillas. Surely easier than finding them in the wild!

Entry is 1000, guide is 1000, camera is 2000. I offered 2000 total to enter with my camera but she wouldn't make a deal so I left without visiting.

nice established campground away from the main road. $5 a night

Free dump and water when you purchase fuel.
Shell across the street also has dump that they charge for.

Road is open but needs time! Took us 2 hours from Peaje to Peaje (53km).

Big parking lot behind the hotel and parador (a lot of trucks). Paid 10‘000COP at the hotel.
Toilet and Wifi in the lobby.

Paid 10 soles for overnight parking (about 4pm to 10am). Could have paid 7 soles for an uncovered spot but I splurged on a designated spot under a metal roof.

Eight walk-in campsites (for tent only). Parking for some up to 20ft rigs. Free.
High clearance needed to drive up to.
Amazing views!

Basic camp, sliding if rainy, road is good OK for us with 7 m Camper. We were lucky to see the volcano, the owner is very friendly, fire warming the place in the evening.

really nice hostel!!
feels like home! Denise AND Marcos the owners are really really nice AND helpful! andrea, who works there todo loves to share with guests too AND she is really sweet.
everything clean, nice dining and livingroom. it has a little but cute garden, big Kitchen. fast wifi, not on the rooms. hot showers.
50 BS for share room, we paid 30 both to stay un our van, but there is place only for one, si its better if you ask before :)
we arrived on friday AND share a Pachamama ceremony AND some drinks with the owners AND guests.
the neighbourhood is really quite AND Safe, close to el Cristo de la concordia. we slept one night outside on the street too!
walking distance to the city Center AND market.

Car parts mainly for Japanese cars. But the owner of this shop is so eager to help you and speaks pretty good English which he learns from watching English news channels.
So if he does not have your part he'll help you out. look at the uploaded photo for his shop details. because it's somewhere in the middle of the Bazaar.

Moderator note, Moved check-in to warning category 10/20

At sunset, 2 guys came pretending to own the place and obviously waiting for us to pay if we wanted to stay for the night ( the place is a community land). Then a 3rd man came and explained that the place is not safe at night, telling a tale about some murder of foreigners in 2015. Then, they explain that our security would'nt be garantee as there are many hippos and elephants roaming around at night in addition to locals that might likely get drunk in this very saturday evening and who would bother us. Clearly local people are upset to see foreigners staying here without paying anything to local community while there are 2 official campsites nearby.
So one might seek agreement of locals before attempting to stay the night ( ask Lucas from the 200m away house in the bush oposite the river).

Stayed here while cycle touring past. Felt like a safe place to leave the bikes (downstairs in their shed). Very grubby room, but incredibly comfortable beds - possibly the best I've seen in South America so far! We paid 80bol for two people in a double room. Lots of blankets.

Large parking with a nice view and very quiet at night.

Very nice little night stop. Great views. Access is the dirt-track on the up-hill side of the hill (the lower access is blocked). The area stays level at first, but that area is still in sight of the road. You can tuck around the corner out of sight of the road, but there it's no so level. We found some rocks around to put under the wheels to level-up. Larger rigs will fit but won't be able to turn around. We found it easier to reverse 100m down the track and around the corner to get out of view of the road. (I think fullbelly's entry below refers to La Colina nearby, not to this site)
