Check-Ins

Excellent and newly built resort on a really nice stretch of beach. Super nice atmosphere. We stayed for a full week and enjoyed every day of it.

You can go snorkeling just at the beach or they can arrange a boat trip to a small nearby island. 25 min walk from the main village on the island. Every couple of weeks there is live music from local artists and a big local party going on. Don't miss that!
Good massages are available at an affordable price.

Spotless beachfront ensuite chalets with breakfast (coffee/tea, eags & toast) from 25'000MKW per room.
You can also pitch a tent and use a really basic room for around 10'000MKW.

Stopped here for coffee and apple strudel and a nice chat with the owners!

Camping com boa localização, estrutura razoável.
Não tem espaço para motorhome ou carro com barraca de teto, sendo destinado para esses veículos o estacionamento.
No local tem várias cachoeiras de fácil acesso, pinturas rupestres e escarpa devoniana.

Path getting in here were a bit “short” and right but it was all worth it. We’re 11ft 11inches tall and we were just fine. Gets a little loud at night with locals coming in and out but that’s fine. Just turn some white noise on. Free free free free palapas

This place water super good. Water was yummy. Guy tried to charge us 200 peso for like 100 liters when it’s been a peso a liter the whole time we have been down here. Told him that and he adjusted the price accordingly

Big park with a lot of space to park. Busy at day. There are some fast food at the top. Water taps and public WC

Blockade(s) in this area. Imagine the two lane highway as a parking lot and then multiply that by 4 because the sides of the road are also filled with cars parked every direction. Semi-trucks we’re not allowed to pass through, but vehicles were able to very very slowly trickle through. Police presence tried to organize the traffic. They had shields and there were higher tensions at the actual blockade point. Expect long delays.

Beautiful spot tucked out of sight of the road. Only downside is it's close enough to the road that you definitely hear occasional cars passing at night.

I hadn't heard of Backus Woods before, but it's the largest remaining tract of old-growth Carolinian forest in Ontario. So walking through the woods is highly recommended, and be aware that it's a sensitive protected wetland.

Street Parking on Fremont Street (48 hour limit per SLC code) 5G Verizon tower on NE corner of park. Park is mixed use and allows Off- Leash dogs in AM & PM. Light Rail stations 2 blocks south and north for easy access to downtown.

A public camp site that costs $30 plus vat p.p. The furtherst away from head office. The 4 boys that run the camp are very helpful, brought us loads if wood for a fire 25k tzn for 2 nights. Hyiena abundant here, 1 hippo and some buffalo. Abolutions ok, cold shower but biys heated up water for us. Nice grassy area for RTT

Nice spot right next to the river. Great for swimming.
When we arrived there were about 60locals enjoying the spot. A little intimidated, we squeezed in with our large truck and did hit some branches. Everyone was super friendly though!

Locals left before sunset and we had a very quiet night.

Nice family run informal campground.
Angelika is super nice and explains everything you need to know.

We saw a pair of wild macaws and spider monkeys eating right from the tree next to the camper, heard the howler monkeys everyday but they didn't visit.

Road here is doable with big rigs, even semis drive it. Just bumpy with some gravel sections and lots of potholes.
We took from south to north 307 near benemerito.

Fantasy park to immerse yourself in.

We came from Pichicuy beach. Our Dog was bitten by two German shepherds. So we came in case the open wound needed some stitches... they were very friendly and professional! We really recommend them!

we came back ! in our way down to the south! Even better than the last time ! Nobody else staying even during Friday night! we stayed two nights....last night around 1am Carabineros pass by... didn't say anything... maybe the first night as well but we were sleeping a little bit earlier haha 😂. The lady charging for parking during the day is not working in low season even during weekends! Be aware most of the shops closed during low season....

We did not do any horse rides; we just went to camp. No charge other than patronizing the restaurant—and we also bought pool passes which were essentially a requirement with the heat. Lots of friendly locals there for the day, including kids for our son to play with. We were told we could park “anywhere” out front, and we snagged a nice private spot under a tree. Private and quiet, until the morning when it turns out the huge horse tour group gathered on our “back porch.” Haha.

Rue en cul de sac, j'ai demandé à stationner pour la nuit au riverain, pas de problème, sécurité, tranquillité, pas de service.

As reported to me, this appears to be a duplicate, and the location is a little bit off.

Just as promised. It’s perfect . There’s even a fire pit with wood

Fuel station with showers for 10 cad. High price on diesel. There are groceries as well. :)

We found out that this place is a bit run down. The views are great but the coffee finca looks unkempt. We where able to stay at one place up close to the road, close to the really basic but clean bathrooms. The second place is down, more close to the coffee trees but far away from the bathrooms. This place has a stunning few. Unfortunately there is a tree with branches that doesn't allowed us to get down there.

Easy to find with google maps.

Really friendly people, had to stay longer because of demonstrations and blocked roads. Wifi is working in the restaurant area, got a meat for one bungalow for shower and toilet, clean but cold shower.
Enjoyed our stay.
20soles for 1 night for 2 people, 1 van and 1 dog.

Great place to stay. Many families in the weekend, some music, but we liked it. Great view on the rafters and kayaks in the river. Big enough for big rigs.

good clean water, RV dump station, and good air pressure. all free. last pump on the diesel side. signs for it.

The nicest place we have visited along Lake Malawi by far and also our favourite place from 6 months of travelling around Southern Africa. It is like paradise. Crystal clear water, with loads of colourful fish, golden sandy beaches enclosed by large granite outcrops which create a very secluded feel, and provide lots of targets to swim out to rocks which you can dive off. There are also 2 canoes which you can borrow for free and explore. The bird and butterfly life around the chalets is spectacular. We spent 4 nights here, and regretted not staying longer.
The camping area for RTT is pleasant: grassy, with little paved paths which lead down through tropical trees to the beaches. But the chalets are such amazing value for money, so we had the new (yellow?) chalet which had a double bed and plenty of space for our 2 kids to sleep on mattresses on the floor. All for Kw34k per night. Also Dani and her staff cook tasty food - about Kw5k for lunch and Kw7.5k for 1 course dinner which is very good.
It’s 55km to Usisya from when you leave the tar in Mzuzu. The first 35km is normal Malawi dirt road and fine, then it gets progressively worse for 10km, then better for the last 10km, apart from the last few hundred metres which is like a footpath through gardens. We did this right at the end of the wet season and the road was pretty bad, but probably it will be repaired soon. Required low 4WD on the way out, but it was fine, and most of the really steep parts have concrete. The drive is a bit of an adventure, but definitely worth it.

Amazing place to camp! Narrow road around the dam but doable with patience for making room for other cars. Also a few stuck cars in the beach area, probably best to stay on main tracks. Great access to hikes nearby.

Not sure if this place is still active. No one was here when we came in, the main structure in the grounds has collapsed. We camped at the trail head car park because of a serious storm overnight and didn’t want to be in the trees.

Very nice and big parking where we can spend the night for free under the shade of big trees. Security at night too.

No problem class B parking Saturday night, starting at 7:30PM. Food trucks line this street during the day, thin out after 6 or 7PM. Perfect spot, no knocks. Leave Sunday 6PM, free all day Sunday.

THIS WHOLE MOUNTAIN SIDE IS PRIVATE LAND! Native land!! We had the person who owns the property stop us to tell us to kindly leave.
