Check-Ins

100pppn. Basic 89%.. Lets say the welcome back to South Africa campings if u return from Namibia! Some spots without light. Toilets ok, the only thing we considered average level.

There are two or three other places nearby where you can park for the night and enjoy the views. When we were there the village was deserted, all hospedajes and restaurants closed and no restrooms in sight. Cascadas are okay, but not worth a huge detour. If coming from Lima note that approach from San Mateo/Chicla is a 5-6h (100 miles) long drive on dirt tracks.

Iam the owner updating my place to add images

Small free camping area in Mark Twain forest with about four sites. Near a boat ramp and favorable fishing. Locals can be loud and ignorant.

At an intersection with a blocked off old road, enough room for one, maybe two close vans. a little sloped downhill but laterally flat. No traffic in the afternoon/evening and only two trucks at about 9am. Nice little coffee walk up the blocked trail to a lookout over the little canyon.

A little offshoot with space for a few vans and two fire rings already here. Kind of lumpy, but can get really level with a little maneuvering.

I stayed here with my wife on 15th January 2005! Yes, 2005! On a tent by the lake... Just checked my old pictures! Amazing spot. I remember the host showed us the whole farm the next morning! Just thought I could add a copule of old pictures...

Hay cabañas y también algunos apart-hotel, no es camping.
El entorno es bellísimo, las instalaciones bastante buenas.
Es un poco caro para la zona, pero con eso consiguen mayor exclusividad y tranquilidad.
En verano también van grupos a pasar el día en la piscina, puede ser un poco ruidoso. El resto del año mucho mejor.

Spent the night in the parking lot of restaurant Wunderwald on the eastside of the river.

In front of the church you take the narrow road on the right side of the church, following the river. After some kms you'll see an orange-colored sign listing several pousadas. Take a right and follow the road until you see a wooden gate on your right. Go through the gate, follow the track downhill and you’ll end up at the most wonderful place in the area: the Pousada of Fernando and Regina. It borders the river and has a sauna. Price: negotiable (depending on use of the sauna, eating with the family, etc)
