Check-Ins

We stayed here for 2 nights. great place next to the beach.

We have been at 7 campings in Costa Rica so far, and this one was our least favorite. It is a big backpackers hostel. The location was quite dirty, with a lot of garbage. The sanitary was ok, but I definetely would not recommend it if you want to camp at a beautiful place. We decided to move a bit more to the south to camping El Arrecife, where the athmosphere is much better, but good facilities are missing

24 hours for 400 pesos. They have space under roof or few on the sun (if you need solar energy). They have baňos! So it seems like a cheapest option how to stay in the centre for reasonable money. We asked if we can stay for the night sleeping inside and there was no problem. You can pay by debit card. They also clean the cars if you need.

Rest area just off the road. Toilets closed in winter

Free Parking lot of Siège de Merlin hike (best to put Siège de Merlin as the destination rather than the provided GPS co ordinates). has a squat toilet up the road, rubbish bins and a small creek close by.

very nice place, we were on the week and we were alone. the pool is nice and you can bath in the night.

if the owner are not here, you have to go to the tienda, down the road to find the guardian. They sell cheese and agua panela.

We paid 40k for two

Although the road in is hard packed enough for large rigs (>25ft), the actual car park is very soft and there is limited space to turn around.
Having been stuck once already in Baja, I opted to park closer to the road.

Huge open field in the NP completely hidden from the road. If you want shadow there are some big trees. Very quiet. Easy access through a short slope, no height restrictions. Entry point: -35.419437 -71.051433.
Note: There are works going on on the road. The 20 km gravel road (ripio) before El Radal is now wide and in good shape. The 10 km from El Radal to Parque Inglés are in bad conditions and there are many low branches. We do not recommend it for vehicles over m 3.30 height. We stay in this spot and went up with the bike. In summer and weekends there are buses going to Parque Inglés.

Wide variety of wines at the best price. San Pedro, Tarapacá, Misiones and more.

It took me a day, $100, 2 photographs and filling a form to get the visa. I had to ask a bit for the next day delivery, the initial time was 2 days and initial response was "it takes 5 working days normally".

They recharge our Argentina bottle - 10kgs- with propane in 5 minutes for 35 sols. Efficient and pro!

Nice riverbed. The riverbed itself is muddy right now. I drove into the village and followed one small street/riverbed to the bigger riverbed. I slept directly at it. Very nice. I didn’t stay at the correct position but I guess it just depends on the season.

You still have to pay 10Bs. The road is unpaved for about 10km in the section between Uyuni and Tupiza. The rest is very good.

Potable water hose next to the air hose Cost $1.50 per gallon.

Simpel hotel along the Pan-Am.
Room with double bed, fan, tv and private bathroom is 35000.
They have a secure indoor parking for bicycles and motorbikes.

Beautiful park, nice parking lot at the end. Two open toilets even outside the season. No bright lights disturbing your sleep but gets very busy in the morning. Lots of locals going for a walk but nobody was bothered by us. By-law enforcement came in the morning but didn't say anything. Only pit toilets during off season. Deer walking by at night.

We drove in, no one asked for money. we walked to closest lookout and an employee was there. He walked us to the other lookouts and didn't ask for a entrance fee. We gave him a propina. Saw lots of sea lions and their pups as well as one sea elephant and many birds. Landscape beautiful. Road beyond was super washboardy. We later heard it gets better further on but we'd already turned around.

The friendly fellow at tourist office said we could overnight here as it was low season. Easy access to beach. 4G cell reception. Spent two quiet nights.

Beautiful spot overlooking the pacific coast near Cerritos. Space for a few tents or maybe 2 trucks. Very rough terrain, 4wd required however if your rig can’t make it you could probably park below and walk up. Have not slept here but I did ride my dirt bike up here to hang out for a while

This is much more of a cafe than a hostel. 6 bed dorms (got it for $7/night) and private rooms above a popular locals’ cafe hangout.

-gated, uncovered parking area for a few motos
-does not have much a social atmosphere with other travelers
-hangout space is going to be the cafe, but there is outdoor seating as well. Both very lovely areas with lots of books
-Hot showers with excellent water pressure
-no kitchen to use
-nice big dorm rooms and bunk beds with plenty of space and large lockers

We enjoyed it very much. During the week we have been the only guests. The night was absolutly quiet. Only the birds were singing.

20L for 10$, 24/7 water dispenser practical given it's at the corner of Walmart

As described in previous posts. Excellent location. Excellent host. Excellent beach. Excellent vibe. At 200 Pesos to set up a tent, I found it very expensive. There really isn’t any nice grassy areas for tenting either. Parking/gravelly areas or on a tiled area under a motel room sandwiched between the new toilets and old one/ current shower. So just be aware it is a motel and RV park first and camping as an after thought. I still highly recommend it.

Close to Carmelo we found this old grocery store founded in the years 1900. They produce wine in the 5th generation and sell it together with other local products. The very friendly owner Diego allowed us to stay here overnight with the camper after a fine wine tasting (900 UPesos including food platter, enough for two). First class Bano open all night.

super accueil de Cynthia et Hans. bel endroit au bout d'un chemin bien praticable. espaces multiples avec ts les services possibles , c parfait. assez loin de la route pour le bruit , au milieu des vignes.

Nice little spot to grab some authentic Mex food. Gigantic breakfast burritos. Nice and clean restrooms. Indoor or outdoor eating areas.

Follow the endless sand roads out here in the Ocala just outside of Paisley. This spot was near the end of a long sandy road just past the power lines. There were multiple spots along the way. Low clearance with wild trees overhead in some spots. We stayed at this site for 24 hrs and never heard another vehicle. Lots of waking trails with beautiful wooden bridges and paths through rain forest like scenery. Very quiet and very green

buen mecánico, muy preciso en servicio de frenos, buena atención.

35 quetzales por lavar y secar, listo en 3 horas.

you can only pass the entrance with vehicle lower than 3,70m.
you can park in front of entrance, but public area and ask for the same fee.
Now they ask for 500birr. Not negotiable.
