Check-Ins

All the positive stuff said before is true, very recommended! Perfect spot for before or after the border.

Nice hostel with rooms of 4, 6 or private room. 500pesos/pp for rooms of 4 or 6 and 1800pesos for private room for 2. Can use the kitchen well equipped. Staff super nice. Breakfast included with eggs home made bread, jam and cereals. Very relax and friendly environment. Bathroom clean. Sometimes queue to have the bathroom in the morning.

Stayed 1 week. Nice place.
Had 1cm on both sides. Driving in with my vw t5.
But i payed 400rs per night.

Cervecería artesanal. We had a panzona burger (250 pesos) and a Golden Ale Nativa pint (180 pesos), very nice! Not crowded and friendly staff. We had extra 10% discount thanks to our hostel (Glaciar Perito Moreno).

Large dirt/grass lot BEHIND lots of pay to park areas and a boat ramp. We came on the edge of the water where there are no signs for pay to park. Had no issues, was pretty quiet. There was someone camping with a fire and all and he has no trouble either. Bathrooms are open 24 hours with a water fountain outside + there’s a cold shower. Stayed here in a 22ft camper, big rigs could fit. Plenty of space for dogs.

Drove by here but didn’t seem right. Kept driving and think we found where they were meaning. Created a new spot titled ‘Large Lot by Water’.

very cosy place, costs us 20k pesos for a double room with shared bathroom breakfast included. Teresa is incredibly nice, and let us park our bikes in her courtyard. Homemade marmalade and bread for breakfast !
no cooking possibilities but definitely worth it

Great place to get grass fed beef. Can also get venison.

Before the Road Barrier there is a nice spot for tents. You can rest here one night. There is some rocks front of the tent area you can hide your equipments inside the holes and close with some stones. You can climb easy to top and turn back for lunch time :). After this point you need 15 km and 1200m for 5740m parking area

Good location to visit Uruapan and the nearby buried church at Angahuan. Hotel amenities available with a nice pool, billiards, etc. Decent WiFi. No dump station. Sites have electrical and water hookups (although these are very rundown). Basically camping on a parking area next to the hotel: during events, hotel visitors park there so it gets crowded. Very friendly staff: Carla called her car mechanic to come to the campground.

Louis and his team dropped everything when they were very busy to tow our Mitsubishi Montero Spoet back to their garage when we couldn’t start it at a nearby campsite. They quickly ascertained that a gas station had put diesel in it 100km before, and set to work first trying to clean it out simply and eventually having to open and clean the whole engine and replace some parts. All of this cost 280 Sols (I think most on the parts) which we considered a great deal. He seems honest and his garage is pretty big and looks like it has good facilities. We would highly recommend!

THE BEST PLACE TO GET SOAT - Almost overlooked this one- 1 Month SOAT for a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport for 51Sol, parking outside, walked straight in and only took half an hour.

We were initially nervous about going as far as Jaen without a SOAT, but didn’t have a choice- we did get a police stop and just explained it was our only option. They were quite happy with this and let us pass.

Great shop specializing in Toyotas - adept at older platforms & have salvage yard connections. If you're overlanding in a Toyota & have a problem they might be able to help. (505) 890-8696. They have helped us maintain & modify two 4runners & a Tacoma for the last 15 years.

A national park on an island which is mostly manglares

Sue is a lovely host and the place was one of the nicest and one of the cheapest I found in South Africa. Very well equipped kitchen and super clean restrooms. If you are nearby and you're looking for a place to sleep this is definitely your best option.

A smiling lady received us and was really helpful and understanding. She did fast work and everything seemed so easy ! We paid 45000 for 2 months for a small van (type “camionetta”). I would more recommend this insurance than coffees in town, because they are much more expensive and less professional...

Nice place but BEWARE...
The traffic here for day users is endless. We stayed two nights and would have liked to stay more to do some more hiking and scrambling but we couldn’t get a decent night sleep.

Night 1: traffic in the even was endless with cars passing by our spot. We even had vehicles at 1am, 2am, 3:30am and 5am drive into the campsite and stay a few minutes, then leave. NO respect for those actually camped here trying to sleep.

Night 2: day use traffic into the camp site was a little less - BUT- the middle of the night traffic was worse. We had what appeared to be night tours starting from the washroom area to climb rocks at night with slamming doors and small groups of people (4 to 6) talking and chatting about where they are going as they walked past and through the camper sites. This happened almost every single hour, on the hour for most of the night. One group would come in, climb for about an hour and then leave. Immediately after, the next group would arrive and REPEAT!

We spoke to the Ranger and they know about this activity but cannot seem to control it. Their response was to say that they are trying to get these people to park out on the main road instead of in the camp area,but that will not work as it would mean an extra walk for those in the middle of the night.

I would NOT recommend this place unless you can sleep through constant noise.

Located on Wkra river, Anmar kayaks. Immediately after the bridge (road 62) at the entrance to Pomiechowek turn right. Grass by the river. The place is not active in winter time so you can park.

For clarity, if you are traveling from Moz to Malawi you must buy Visa which for most passports is $50 for 7 days or less or $75 for 30 days. Only US cash or Malawi Kwachas. No ATM at border but there are moneychangers. Be sure to buy Malawi insurance at border - they didn't ask us and we got fined on the roadside about 20klms up the road. you need the sticker in the window so you'll get waved through at all the stops.

No problem crossing the border Arg-Bol as foreigners with Chilean car. Just showed our declaracion jurada & Padrón. Got back our stamped TIP after leaving Argentina. Helpful police officers that helped us where to park& where to go. Everything took only about 20 minutes.

updated to correct location jjjjjjjjjjjjj

We used this place to stay for the night before visiting Kantubek (former Russian base and laboratory).
300m from the road but hidden behind some dunes. Quiet but no facilities, no cell coverage.

Pretty quiet Walmart near Phoenix. Much better for a night’s sleep then many others in the area.

Real friendly guy came into our sprinter and checked briefly. Passed through in a couple minutes.

We stayed there 7 nights with an access to the kitchen, shower and bathroom, wifi, 2 pools, a nice parking lot just for us and our van. The owner is a bit speed but very nice and gave us very good advice for surfing and were to buy good board.
Price is 5$ pp per day. There is a small truck that come everyday from selling fresh fruits and veggies, a couple of restaurants around, the beach at 50m and it's very well located to go surfing at differents spots. The hostel is very quiet, not a party one and a bit more crowded with locals on weekends.

Beautiful lake. At the spot where the marker is, you can drive further along the lake to find a spot you like, but you'll always be visible from the other side of the lake. If you don't have lights, no one should be able to see you from that far away at night. During the day, you can hear the trucks on the other side, but after 9pm the traffic slows down to about 1 car per hour. It does pick up early before sunrise, though.

The guard at the entrance told me it was prohibitied to camp inside the park but I could camp at the gates. At first I was thinking of sleeping at the spot by the lake, but the numerous gates along this road made me feel not too welcomed, so I turned back to sleep here.

It was raining anyways so it didn't make much of a difference.

As described. I parked here after trying the free beach. Was full to overflowing with cars for the weekend. Came back to here. Parked here with a 25' Class C towing a car. Smaller parking area, may take up to 5 small units. Hot showers! I was parked under the mango trees. Not the best idea. Thankfully not at full size yet. But still made one hell of a racked dropping on the roof. Don't park here when it's mango season...they may break something! I would come here again but, prefer free.

Nice place in front of the beach. Very good for surf. It’s very simple, basics kitchen, toilets and bathroom. Nice owner and good vibes. We payed 8000 colones by night for 2 persons, a car and a tent.
