Check-Ins

Right next to highway and railway which is busy all night long.
Doesn’t look used anymore. Power all disconnected plus being there in April not in season. Good for a quick overnight stop. Plenty of people stop and let their dogs out for a run but we were the only ones overnight.
Garbage bins available and there was quite a lot just littered around so we cleaned it up.

Senegal - Mauritania

Easy as always. We spent the night directly in the border area. Toilets were open when we arrived, but closed during the night.
There is an official pricelist (of 2018) for the bridge toll: motorbikes 4000, cars 10.000, trucks up to 10to 20.000.
Change CFA to Ougouiya before you leave, you will need it! Take screenshots of the NEW bills and compare. Good 4G network with Orange if you forgot. Senegalese money changers want to give you old bills for the old exchange rate.
Visa for Mauritania 55€.
You can buy insurance and simcard for Mauritania at the border, but we didn’t because it seemed too expensive.

NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO CLOSE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, PLEASE ADD A POST ONTO THIS SITE TO SAVE US FROM A WASTED JOURNEY (AND VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER WEEKS ON THE ROAD TRAVELLING NORTH). OPENING AGAIN ON 22/4/23.

Free dump station next to a campsite. We visited off season so the campsite was not open and flushing water was switched off for the winter. Not sure if you would have to pay when campsite is open but a local told us it was ok to use in April.

10/10 spot. Amazing views. Road is passable with any rig, we did it towing a 26’ trailer. Good cell service for AT&T and T-Mobile. I’m looking at a total of three spots, but I’m sure there are a couple more up the road as we saw a van make it’s way down there. This might be my favorite boon docking spot yet, and that’s saying something

Still there. Not much pressure as said but okay to fill up some canisters.

right next to the road
very fresh
free

Great rest area with picnic tables and a dumpster. Water spigots, but don’t seem to be potable.

Beautiful, quiet spot, but unfortunately we were told by the guide that overnight camping is not allowed here. He even called director of the archeological site who also confirmed that camping is not allowed (anymore?)

Wow sleep and walk behind the river. Un dodo et une promenade près de la rivière

Checkpoint for immigration northbound only.

rustic campground $20 for the night, has 30 Amp

Ample free and quiet parking with views of the Pacific. Possibility of outdoor activities (trekking, surfing, etc.). A few meters away toilet (close at 7 pm) and picnic area. Important: "The whole city of San Francisco (including parks) is covered with signs that recommends closing cars well and not leaving valuables in sight because they steal.".

Petit stationnement pour petite van, chaise sur le
Bord de la rivière et beaucoup d arbre

Lodge with nice view to lake.
Rooms from 350 to 570 ZK (for 2 person)
NO wifi.
Bathrooms with hot water.
Price is really fair.
We stayed for 2 nights.
Some small ants in the room, so we put all food in fridge, it’s not a problem for us.
No restaurant in the territory.

Stopped for a couple of hours to work. There appears to be an RV park which allows overnight camping. Public restrooms and picnic tables with grills.

Just outside of Comanche and quick access to 67 and 36.

Two bars Verizon 5g

The police station you’d pay a fine for here is in Tsumeb, about 2km away. Go and report any attempted bribery at the station and it will be taken seriously.

Phillips 66 - they have spigot with hose.
I asked if I could use the spigot, cashier seemed to be annoyed and said no only bottles or jugs

Pin is in between two parking lots at this park. There are no “no overnight” signs. Nice park with trails and water access (there were people coming with boats). Bathroom with signs that say it automatically locks at dusk. Picnic tables & small playground although i’ve seen no children since i’ve been here.
Got here at 5pm and stayed the night and the next day to work. good AT&T 5G signal!
not sure if it’s allowed but no one bothered me.

Found a couple of spigots but water was turned off

We were going to stay here, but these are the rudest people on the phone. Drove to park to check it out lots of empty spots. I know why… it was lunch couldn’t talk to anyone which was fine. Called back after lunch and the lady was rude from the beginning of call. I’d rather pay more and be welcomed than stay here.

They declined to issue a visa in my passport, saying that the eVisa will get me across land borders.

I went to this workshop. They refurbished my big motorhome. I asked them lots of things: treating chassis rust, fixing the front doors which were making noise, fixing the aluminum rocker panels, repairing the plastic rear bumper, fixing the spare wheel under the motorhome and replacement of the double door mosquito nets. Michael is very knowledgeable. he works very well, I highly recommend

Beautiful campground, primarily aimed at RVs, but there are primitive tents sites (walk-in only) in the woods as well. About 18 sites are near the lake with w/e or w/e/s, with a few smaller sites up the hill. Sites on the lake are in full sun. CG also has very modern cabins. Great spot to access the great DFW area. Quiet at night

We paid $36 for w/e spot, booked online (I think all sites need to booked this way to get the gate code)

Dump station, disc golf (only 4 holes), mountain bike trails, and boat ramp as well.

Two night minimum on weekends.

Several water spigots for fill up. Great water flow.

Airtel shop to purchase SIM card. 600 kwacha for SIM + 7500 kwacha for 20GB of data. Quick and easy process. It is also much less hectic compared to the booths on the street. I went here after a street vendor couldn't do it without Malawi ID.

Wow this place is amazing. By far the most impressive canyon waterfall in the country. Well hidden. I went in the morning and only saw a few friendly farmers on the field. Thanks for the directions they were useful.

Nice big Lowes parking lot right off the highway. Spoke to the manager and she said it was fine to park overnight in our Skoolie as long as we parked out front under a light.

Nobody bothered us and it was very quiet overnight minus a little highway noise. Not bad at all though.

Felt safer than the local Walmart.

We tried to follow this road, we turned right like the first comment said after 1km. The road is very rocky in some parts and we encountered a small (but rocky) river crossing. We had to turn around because we have an half burned clutch and the road was steep, I guess it's doable with a good motorbike/4wd but we definitely expected a better condition trail after we read the first two comments. There are no directions whatsoever but two locals confirmed we were on the right way and the mountains are more or less 4km away.

Just checked their website which indicates that the Capulin campground is CLOSED. Please let us know when it re-opens, assuming that it does! : (
