Check-Ins

Very big lot, though it is not paved. So parking here after big rains or snows would be difficult. Parking lot is not marked so could be easy to pass at night. No amenities of any kind, pack in pack out.

We paid 150 pesos for 1 night. It’s right on the cliff and you get water and electric but we didn’t use it. Our 34 ft Skoolie made it down the long dirt road just fine. It’s a little bumpy but you just go slow. They have good margaritas at the restaurant attached to the hotel!

Stayed here on a Saturday and it was a huge mistake! We pulled in around 4pm and it was mellow then right when it got dark dozens of cars blasting loud music pulled in. We probably got 30 mins of sleep that night. When we decided to leave at sunrise there were still a good amount of cars still partying on the beach. Might be better on a week day but we will never stay the night there again!

This is the park’s administration office and a small rural community that offers tours to Isla Corazón. Beautiful mangrove area with plenty of birds and nesting sites. We had Alfredo as a guide and he’s a wonderful person who’s lived here all his life and will tell you about the changes in the area due to human intervention and natural disasters. They also cook what they fish here such as crab, shrimp, etc, all delicious and you get to meet the families that live here. Boat tours cost $15 pp and food $4pp.
We were invited to stay by the vet that works in the admin office, since he helped us rescue a turtle in Canoa. However, we asked Alfredo (head of community, whatsapp 0969486033 ) about the possibility that other overlanders could stay and he said you’ll be welcome to stay the night too. There is enough room for small to midsize vans. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff.

clean rooms, decent size. double beds with mosquito net. ensuite bathroom with running, hot water, good water pressure. some have western some squat toilets
rooms are 15.000TZS and big enough to take your bike inside
they have a bar and chipsi place in the same complex (beer 2000TZS, chipsi mayai 2000TZS) may be a bit noisy in the evening but we had no problem
the place is not shown correctly in Google maps, use the coordinates here

Police check with a stupid policemen on the Chaco side of provincial border. He was looking for something to give us a fine. In the end he decided that the bikerack on the back was going to be the victim and said it was illegal. Even went through a booklet with fines to show the article nr of the law. I played dumb, that I didn’t understand, that we have the rack already three months driving in Argentina, in the end also played the embassy card if he’s talking about a fine.

When I folded up the rack against the trunk somehow he changed his mind and started asking about the trip and let us pass. No problems on the formosa side with the police checkpoint.

the road until there is really good (70km/h). so the access is good.
trees protected us from a small rain. i guess not enough for a big storm. we were rm2 campervans and 1 motocycle. enough space for everyone.
enjoy it!

really nice waterfall but going does not worth.
take the track on your right for seing the waterfall above. more beautiful!!

amazing view!
the hardest part of the walk is during the 1st kilometer. after is more easy.
2h30 of walk (with short breaks + 20 min at the view point)
the road is very muddy after rain.
if you have a rut, even a temporary one is less expensive

Parking on Ocean front Ave. in Cayucos, CA. No "no overnight parking" sign. 45º nose in parking. Good for vehicule under 22 feet long as it's regular parking spot. Stayed there for a night in a converted Ford Transit, stay quiet and stealth and it should be fine. Public restrooms at the north end of the parking lane. sleeping with the ocean sound is always good.

Easy access spot, flat with great views and lots of hiking

Protesters blocking road - but did not feel unsafe. Police were around and said it could be a couple hours or all day. When we arrived backed up over 400 meters, lots of semis. Block was on bridge over river and police told us it would take a couple hours to get around. A couple guys offered to take us on local roads to a spot we could drive through the river for a few hundred pesos which we declined. My wife walked up to the protesters and explained we were just foreigners driving through and they let us come to the front and drive by. Did not get the impression this is a common thing here.

flat grassy parking for about 100 cars. 3500cp per day (11-21h guarded) and 3500cp per night (21-11h) per car. good wind protection, quiet, mobile coverage, banos on the beach, trees around the place no buildings visible, direct view to the volcano, 100m from the beach - and we are alone at night!

Good for one night. Small restaurant. Shower with toilet is still 800 CLP.

Wonderful place right by the river! We payed 100 lemps per person, regardless of whether we slept in hammocks or in the van.

We arrived on a Sunday, which is supposed to be a busy day with local visitors, but there were barely anyone there and we were alone by 5pm.

There’s a camping table and small grill under a roof by the campsites. Almost no mosquitoes, which were nice as we slept in a hammock.

Would have liked to stay here longer as there’s many places to explore close-by. Just ask the guy who runs the place for tips, he’s really friendly and knows a lot about the area.

small space surrounded by a big wall. If you like prison than you are right here and safe. directly in front of houses.

Big parking lot in front of a "destellerie", where they deliver grapes. Cross the open iron barrier that doesn't work and feel safe. You also can cross the bridge and come from the other side. Very quiet behind a wall. Water from the river and swimming 100 meters away.

easy to fill your water tank, friendly locals

great hotel in a beautiful garden with a nice swimming pool.
we spent 4 days here in our 1 year trip in motorhome. the owners are very very nice and the People which work here also.
you can eat at the restaurant if you inform before.
really quiet and beautiful.

A possible spot for overnight parking. The signs state trails to only be used only during day light hours. There were no signs that we could find that spoke about parking. On a Saturday night there seemed to be a lot of teenage traffic using the lot.

We couldn’t make it to the top with only front wheel drive when there was heavy snow. Looks beautiful though.

Beautiful campground. There were only 4x4 vehicle tire ruts on the road and no plowing in March with a couple feet of snow. We helped a car get unstuck. Stayed overnight at beginning of entrance.

Very nice night as others have described.

Public turnoff directly off highway, but quiet and with a lake view. No signs other than "parking" posted. Trash cans and a picnic table.

Quiet, we had one truck pull in late at night for a short rest but was gone in an hour.

Paved and in excellent condition with plenty of room for larger rigs.

Good 4G Verizon & AT&T

The road is a bit rutted in places but there are work arounds. We passed in a 2WD Ram Promaster. There are a couple of neat caves and two fire rings. Great data service too!

advised by a local as very safe and ok for tent pitch

Definitely not a good place to stay unless you have a camper van, a lot of houses and people around. If you drive further to the beach and pass the established campgrounds you will find plenty of wild camp options right on the sand and directly on the beach, which will be quieter and secluded.

Go to Restaurant Cowboy during the day and ask for Bruno. He is a wonderful man who has land a few minutes outside of Paso Hondo. No amenities, but nice and safe place for camping. Space for all kinds of overlanders. Food at the restaurant is great, Bruno and his wife are amazing. Super willing to help out in any way. He even took us horseback riding :) Ask about price, always fair.

Tempting to stay, but parking here is restricted at night as this is a Historic Reserve and, therefore, part of the National Park system. Wonderful daytime hangout.

Great place to stay, pines to cover raining and wind , near the river and the store.
