We stayed overnight here because there was a fair taking place near the local park (otherwise the point at the park would be recommended). As described; Large sandy area with space for many, many trucks, constant noise from approaching trucks until around 11pm, from 5.30am they drive away again. Sanitary facilities very basic, but the cool shower was pleasant in the hot weather. We paid 50 Cordoba.

Stayed here for 1 night after crossing the border. Very nice and open huge lot with many buses and truck drivers. We stayed in the back of the lot and no one bothered us. It was a very quite but hot night. They charged us about $2USD to stay the night and use the showers. The showers and bathrooms were nothing fancy but a nice cool showers always feels nice

Big parking lot for truck. We paid 50 Cordoba for our RV.
We park at the end of the parking lot to avoid getting dust from the truck driving on the gravel.
Quiet at night

Perfect place to stay if you run out of light after that wild border crossing. Or if you want a head start the next day. Food was also delicious! No TP in the bathrooms and only one toilet with a seat.

Safe, quite after 10pm, only truck drivers and families (with kids) at the restaurant this night.
50c for the night and let us fill the water tank, but the water was not looking potable…

Huge lot, quiet. I’m a solo woman so I parked a bit away from the big rigs. The guard Jose was lovely, but I did see a prostitute moving between rigs while I was heading back from the shower. Showers had doors and were strong, cool water. Food was delicious. I’d come back!

Got charged 50c. Everything else the same. Safe and quieter than most of the same kind.

Restaurant in the parking is good.
Cheap morning coffee

Safe area to sleep. We checked in at arrival and nothing was mentioned about a payment. The next morning some other guy wanted $5, which we didn’t have in our pockets and when we returned there was again somebody else and wanted only $1.

Decent spot to stay after crossing the border. It was a little noisy (evening and early morning), a few truckers having some beers later into the evening too. It was hot but there are cold showers! Drinks are cheap at the restaurant. Felt safe. Paid 50 Córdoba.

Big truck stop on south side of town. Best truck stop we stayed in...organized big rig parking, Good for a large RV to park, quiet for a truck stop, most everyone comes in and parks and sleeps. Early morning rigs start up. Security guard walks around all night, cost $50 Cordobas

Report Check-In

Stayed 1 night after the border.
Told us it was 60 cordobas/car, we could negotiate it to 40/car since we were 2 vehicles.
Big parking lot, no shade at all, very hot, lots of mosquitoes.
Lots of truck drivers arrived in the evening - it was really useful talking to them about the best routes to follow in the country.
Cold showers, best to use the ones that face the lot as they have doors (the ones behind only curtains).
Good food at the restaurant and reasonably priced.
