Check-Ins

We found this big flat open space next to some old ruins. Well hidden from the road, but you hear the trucks. Some women walked by in the evening, all friendly. Amazing view at the mountains.

Local excelente. Banheiros limpos cozinha lavanderia e churrasqueira.

On Ruta 40, in front of the tourist information office, you will find this place suitable for campervans and big rigs. Clean sanitary facilities, hot water available.

Attention! Today, in the Soriana parking lot, 3 guys tried to rob me with a gun. Maybe they wanted to take my truck. They tried to drag me into my truck, but I pushed the one with the gun away and asked for help. They ran away. There was an interesting detail. There was no one in the parking lot on the right side, but then an old red truck (I didn’t think of taking a photo of it) drove up very, very close to me and seemed to block the view. I think it's an accomplice. Zihuatanejo becomes unsafe.

We tried this place after crossing the boarder with Paraguay at night. I confirm there’s still a free camping area with toilets (a bit dirty and with some big spiders, we didn’t used it). We didn’t look after the showers. The gate was closed when we arrived on the road but we opened it ourselves.

The place was really peaceful and we have some great hours of sleep, but there’s soooo much mosquitos ! We had a roof tent, a lot of repelent and a net that kept us safe for the big ones but we had to leave after 3 hours of sleeping because of tiny tiny mosquitos and hundred of bites… We didn’t manage to stop them.

So we don’t recommend this place until you have a perfect isolation.

Gia provides safe storage for vehicles and has garage for motorcycles, also has accommodation as well, nice lady very friendly, speaks great english, +507 6659-8914 (Gias Whatsapp)

a litten Kiosk, with a pretty Biergarten and very delicate street food grill

Needed a place to stop and sleep. Found this gravel lot that is labeled on Apple Maps as a park and ride. No signs indicating we couldn’t park there. It is basically just a gravel turn around out in the middle of farm fields. We stayed one night with a 29’ fifth-wheel. No one bothered us. There was some freeway noise though. Easy access off and back on the freeway.

As described, super nice hostel and good vibe with Juan Carlos who is an amazing host. He cares to make you feel at home, sharing beers, bbq and anecdotes with all the guests. Perfect spot for cyclists, enough space to store your stuff safely while you go for a trek. He can give you advices on transportation and on the region and he is planning on developing the hostal. I could only recommend this place ! 25s/p

Not far off the road but heaps of space for wild camping, some sections right by the cliff looking down at the riverbed. Quiet spot, no cars went by the night we camped, didn't see any people, just some cattle and goats around, plenty of bird life, sign of elephants but we didn't see any. get here by following the obvious dirt vehicle track off the road.

Uploaded pictures for future wild campers. remember to follow the rules of wild camping and leave no trace.

Basic clean Hotel rooms - AC TV hot water - friendly staff - close to food. Semi secure parking for bikes - 24 hr security and CCTV.
I paid 2100 INR.

Got here with a bus. The police seemed quite aggressive but they let us go after barely five minutes, I'm guessing they know the bus company and the driver. Nothing to pay whatsoever, but they were stopping a lot of private vehicles so it might still take some patience and diplomacy to get through by car without paying any bribe.

Awesome place with beautiful views of the mountains. Super quiet. Hard to beat this site. I would stay here again and probably will.

Fill up here if you are going to Ischigualasto or Talampaya national parks. This is the last gas station before them coming from the south.

Big beach between buildings. Some rubbish, snorkeling senseless, in daytime no coast guard.

parking lot at a nature reserve. a lot of nature, some hiling trails. very quiet. you can stay right before the gate or inside at the end of the road. many picnic tables

Had been to this spot previously when traveling through. This time we parked for the night & enjoyed watching the weather roll in.

We parked in the gravel strip for the night & moved to the pavement at 6am to open space for the vendors to set up their jewelry & craft market (see photo).

We enjoyed the bridge walk & Rim trail. We’re self contained & didn’t use the facilities at the rest stop.

This was a quiet & peaceful park up & recommend for others traveling this way. Be sure to visit the vendors if you come this way 🧡

Spot au bord du lac près de Conaripe, un grand panneau indique qu’il est interdit au véhicule motorisé et de camper ici… plusieurs voitures néanmoins sont resté comme nous dormir et nous n’avons eu aucun problème. Par rapport aux photos précédentes, on est quand même exposé à la route il n’y a pas vraiment d’endroit pour se cacher

Just got the knock. This spot is not okay to park. officer said the property is owned by the water company.

Very good bakery of you miss some croissant/baguette. Expensive but very good value. Croissant 2000, pain chocolate 3000. You can take away or eating in a nice garden with shadow. Open every day 7-20h

North bound side near old bee hives. Hard packed gravel- level. Quiet.

One night stay. Early in the season. Electric only , no water. Pit toilet. Lovely area and campground. Maybe 6 other campers here.

IMPORTANT: as the comment below also mentioned, Togo no longer delivers any kind of VOA until further notice. I unfortunately did not know that as the comment below showed up while I was reaching the frontier. Anyway, I am going to have to turn back and go back to Accra to try to get a visa at the embassy. I'll update this once (if 😅) I manage to get a visa and come back.

UPDATE: I got my visa in Accra and came back with the same bus company. I'd recommend it for anyone traveling without a car: they were very nice and did not even charge me for the second trip (the guy was actually scandalized I had been refused entry and gave me the ticket for free ^^). Their name is Rimbo Transports Voyageurs, and they have departures from Accra to Lomé everyday at 10 o'clock.
Anyway, without the visa I did not encounter any issues. The border is joint so everything (Ghanaian exit stamp and Togolese entry stamp) was done at the same place. Officers asked for my number a lot, but other than that most were friendly and it didn't take very long.

Supermarkt with everything available and restaurant cross the road

Shoprite with a lot of western products.

Seems like the card reader is broken. There was no one here to ask.

here we bought a local sim for 7km (4+2GB). they earn 1 km. payment in euros at no additional cost possible, change in km.

A Bend classic. So close to town and so many spots. Pretty rad we can legally camp this close to the city. Several long terms residents here, but everyone is very respectful, clean, and quiet. And can’t beat the access to the trails either!

On the pass up to Livingstonia there is a concrete parking space on the side of this switchback. We stayed here for a night. There’s a footpath next to it and a few people climbing up/down but during the night it’s really calm. Doesn’t have a panorama view though as there are too many trees blocking it.
