Check-Ins

This is a level area, maybe 20x20m around some concrete hut, possibly being used as a turning bay. Spent a quiet and undisturbed night here. It's inbetween rolling hills of farmland and right next to a small creek. Very little traffic on the (very good dirt) road, but you want to stay as far away from it as possible to avoid dust.
You should be able to do it in a big rig but might be in the way of trucks turning around here. That said, I didn't see any, so...
You should be able to pop a tent here, but passing traffic can (theoretically, as most don't look) see it.

If you're okay with parking on a slope, then this is a fantastic spot. Very quiet, awesome ocean views, free.
Access road too narrow for big rigs.

P.S. In fact, what would make this place even better were if fellow campers would at least try to hide the toilet paper they leave behind.

Typical city parking, fine for one night. Noisy due to traffic.

Helpful staff with great knowledge and maps. Need to go here to register for a hike (free).

We stopped here for lunch on the side of the road. Next to a river, looked like you would need a 4x4 to get down to it. Rubbish around, probably noisy at night by the road.

We spent one night here, it is as described in the first text.
Nice place, with view on the valley.

one of the nicest campgrounds in colombia. great view, everything we needed and very nice owner. quiet at night. 30 cop for the 2 of us. worth it.

Had to haggle down from 100pp to 75, despite us being the only guests. But very friendly family.
Ownership has just changed and the family are waiting for the 'new white man' to make improvements to the site.
So by the end of 2017, it might all look different.

well equipped gas station. WiFi from the restaurant available.
There is one shower. You'll have to find a slot between truck drivers getting in and out.
Plenty of space to park and sleep.

One of the few sandy beaches in this part of Turkey and this one you can actually reach with your car. There were a couple of locals barbecuing on the beach who shared their sausages and bread with us. The rest of the night, we had the beach to ourselves. It would be a perfect spot if it weren't for the nearby mosque interrupting our sleep...

PS I've set the location to the coordinates of the ramp you use to enter the beach.

Reasonable site but lot of permanent caravans.
By the beach with bar and ratuarant but the restaurant wasn't open for our visit.
Got very busy and noisy at the weekend.
Warm water seems to be only when busy.
Wifi is very slow,
Electric at the pitches. Pitches offered are different sizes but even the large ones are small and would be difficult to maneuver a bigger van into.
Cleaned daily.
Has a laundry and washing machine.

This is now 130pp. We left right away. It doesn't worth the price. We webt to Homero instead, just in front. No pool but a wonderful view on the mountains.

We took here a shower with warm water. Very nice staff. Its possible to sleep here over night.

Road turns into a windy dirt road. No problem but just a heads up.

Bidons of all shapes and sizes for water and gasoline / diesel. Some accessories also (hand powered pumps) - even plastic urinals for those cold rainy nights in the van!

Check out their website beforehand to get an idea of their stock - http://www.haddad.cl/

We didn't find exactly what we wanted here to replace our leaky water bidon, but they have a way bigger selection than Sodimac or other hardware stores - see photos.

Entered correct coordinates for exit from MX 120 libre. Follow dirt road to gates (2 signs) over cuota road. Accessible by any length, height, clearance using this route. Paid $250p per night for 2 with full hookups. Decent bathroom. Hot shower. Lots of farm animals. Taxi to town is $60p or can walk it. Good restaurant in site with odd hours.

We went there with our truck, 2.4m wide and 3.5m heigh. it's fine but a lot of trees to push a bit.

Quiet, safe, toilets and water. Flat spots for pitching the tent and even a little palapa which was perfect for cooking because it rained the entire time

We paid but we don't sleep here because we can't drive on the beach. We have a vw bus/camper. Check you can drive in the sand before coming.

Mosque on left hand side driving towards Esfahan. They are currently restoring it.

Amazing wee place - definitely worth the detour from the centre. Burgers! Mulled wine! How can you go wrong. Totally looks like someone's house from the street, but inside it's good vibes, food and music. Also packed with locals.

Perfect flat empty spot between the medows. A bit hard to find. Other spots hard to find because everything is used for grain. From the village head south into dirt road next to a stream in a concrete duct. Locals are super friendly.

Nice camp site, check in at Mopani, site will be allocated to you. No electricity, but water around camp ground. 34 sites. Paid R305

A good sized spot beside a road that is quiet at night. Right beside the wind turbines overlooking the surrounding hill tops.

Nice place, you can all the way to the lake. Turn to the right from the road.

Really nice ruínas de Ake!
No one around we have the place to ourselves.
40mx per person.
We did on our way from Izamal to Merida

Flat grassy area right at the beach. We stood there for one night for free. However the groundskeeper told there will be a small fee beginning June 10th. Just keep that it mind. The beach is super awesome for swimming and snorkling with very clear water.

I still hate automatics -.-
drove here with Bad automatic shifting and no 4th gear, After Anden mt. decend from north... to ask at technomoritz for a good automatic technician. He walked us across the street. So far great Job! we are on the road After 3 Day repair, they started right away.
they cleand every Part conciously, checking if it had faults an realised where beforehand screws were to long etc. they replaced even little Details. In comparison to Mexico Parts and their work was more expensive but i believe it was better quality all the way. no use of silicon and that bullshit.
big entry, big rigs are only limited by the cars parked in the street, big Hall. we meaure h-3m, l-7m, w-2,5m no issues at all!
no english spoken, and only one guy there slowed his talking speed for me to understand, but i guess at technomoritz across the street you could ask for transaltion help.
they had a really deatailed guidebook for the automatic. they cunsulted and followed it perfectly (as far as i can tell).
I will Post if we break down but i have a good feeling.
only bummer: they did Not give me a price until finished and even though i stood next to them all thee days (i learned a Lot) they did Not tell me a price of Parts they would change. E.g. All over sudden someone came in a car, with a repair Kit (all the discs again, though some were still good from mexico, but also in mexico the Kit was cheaper than the Single two broken disks and the seals)
He says "good quality -original" in spanish (wich it did look like) Then he drove me to a Bank to pay him. 903.000Cop -.-
Made in mexivo original Ford Party replacement company with a bigger non metal automatic fluid Filter against overheating.
I like that jose, the owner, that way did make clear he is Not changing extra. I payed the external deliverer. but still everytime i asked how much, "he said we will See ill give you a good price when it works"
they had all pieces for the almost alike Diesel automatic, wich are stronger than the gasoline ones and fitted them, so i think now we are prepared for the andes, only time will tell.

P.s. I hate automatics! but there was no other Option in canada for sale.
we had our automatic taken apart thee times by two different mecanics in mexico. changed geardiscs and some other stuff. I don't know if it was Bad work there or if this truck ls automatis jest Not Made to haul a camper (still a Ton under tge max Gvwr)

Liability car insurance can be bought here. We tool one that covers Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicoragua. 611 Q for 3 months. Very friendly and efficient.

Great place! Just 30 pesos p/p with option to camp inside for 25 pesos or outside for free. Equaly safe. Just say you come from iOverlander! Bathroom, showers, wifi and restaurant - bar.
