Check-Ins

Short road leading south off of the Dempster Hwy to a gravel and culvert staging area. Far enough from road to barely see a small portion and not to get dusted. Open enough for the breeze to keep mosquitos away (mostly). Nice level spots and room for a couple big rigs. Small creek running by.

Tea Shop and Camping site in Dzuleke next to road side. Place is in Dzuleke, after the petrol pump. Goko, a local friendly lady runs the place, its a tea shop, great views and a cozy place. She is helpful and allows to pitch tent or car camp nearby. Great place to stop and unwind. Toilet and flowing water avaliable. Great place for simple dal chawal and tea. An ideal location as a base camp for Dzuleke. Cell network is avaliable some distance away.

Stayed one night in a stealth van. Pretty sure another camper was here too. Arrived at 11PM, left at 9AM. Really good sleep, no one came.
In the morning, realized that most cars parked here had a yellow paper on their dashboard, probably something to prove they are clients. We had no issue though.

Was able to dump tanks, there's a rinse hose at the dump. Also filled water at the truck pumps... could not connect my own hose, there are green hoses with sprayers on them here.

After lots of Chorba and Ash and spaghetti soup on the way to Bishkek we found this Chines Restaurant. The price is between 200 to 500 some per portion. But one portion with 2 portion rice is enough for 2 person. We got vegis and that was delicious as Chinese food is.

This place still looks deserted and closed.

beautiful place, with all the infrastructure. They have a waterfall right next to the camping site and offer clay baths and walks in nature.
they charge 50 per person for the day, but have all the things you need, there's even a beach area on the river side

I drove the road M17 from Kapan to the Aras river. There is a new road avoiding the critical part of M17 that crosses the border to Azerbaidschan right out of Kapan. There were military posts, but none that controlled the traffic on the road.
But when we reached the Aras river, we found a checkpoint presumable by the border police. They asked for passports and a border permit. We had no such permit, so we drove back. This was only 13 km out of Meghri. So we had no issue with the border to Azerbaidschan, but the one to Iran.
The road is good, several passes, low traffic, so it was worth the effort anyways

They don’t take visa, but could exchange USD or EURO, which we did. Rates are good.

It's not a hotel but a small village accessed by a gate along the main road. The village chief gave us the opportunity to stop for the night safely by parking our truck in the main courtyard. We left 5000 cfa and at the same price it offers air-conditioned rooms with a small bathroom which are the homes of the locals. Ideal for spending a night. Many people come to browse but they are friendly and kind.

free drinking water and black water dump

As described, but just clarifying the price: it's 15 USD pppn for the lodge and 15 USD bed levy (sometimes called 'camp fee') for African Parks pppn. If you've already paid the bed levy at the entrance gate, make sure to bring a receipt (otherwise, the accommodation has to charge you for this again). The tap water is bore water and is potable. You can pay by card.

Resupply on S101,
reasonably sized shop selling everything you might need. lots of restuarants nearby

Drive in late in town on the way from Aguadas. Checked out other spots in town, too busy and too many people around. Instead pulled on here, it was overgrown with tall grass. I had no choice. I could have parked in soccer field across but a local suggested it was a better option as it was lighted. Heeded to his suggestion.
Locals quiet friendly. All said it was safe & secure. Very quiet at night.

Passamos 4 dias tranquilos, lugar é lindo, local sem facilidades.
Vale a pena começar.

quiet gravel parking lot at an dead end road with a view point. the whole lot is uneven but we managed to find a spot with just 2 degrees uneven.

this is the last free parking spot for the sight st. michael mount. its free for 2 hours.

last free street parking. 15 minutes walk to the damous beach and theater. space for 4-5 cars.

We spent 5 nights at Teresa‘s place. She‘s very nice and welcoming. The bathroom was very clean at all times.

Five other Class B's here tonight as it is high season here in Prince Edward Island. Good place to park with no overnight prohibition signs. You are right downtown near the cruise port. The only negative is that there is an aggregates site beside the water and if they are in operation, there may be early morning noise. Best place for early morning (7 am) coffee, washrooms and breakfast if needed, is the Receiver Coffee - Brass Shop, about a block away.

Excelent Restaurant,
Excelent food. Soecially the fish and Jacaré

There is no hostel anymore near this place. It was used as camp of the road maintenance team for several month. The three bathrooms are still well maintained and clean.
We took a bath, but did not stay overnight. It started raining and we wanted to finish the pass downwards.

Nice place to stay over night. Several fire places. No traffic on the road during the night. Not too much trash.

Beautiful, grassy lot behind the church. Plenty of room for big rigs. Nearby traffic noise but a-ok by me to have all this room … my dog can run!

You can only camp if you make a reservation 2 days in advance at least they told us. Nobody was there, really fancy. Maybe they just dont want people to camp here… we coudnt stay last minute.

Beautiful municipal campsite with several spaces with drinking water and electricity or without service. About forty sites mainly grassed. The ocean is on the edge and a beautiful little lake facing several sites. Showers and toilets are good and clean. There is a dump station. $35/nights + taxes with service and $30 with water.

Friendly folks,no problem parking,lots of room,open 6am for coffee. The store itself has a massive selection of hardware,parts, clothing etc. If you need some repair parts check it out!

Tried to camp here I think they were closed for the season? But there was not a number to call before we arrived. Too bad, the place looked beautiful inside.

Update: if you contact the owners +54 9 2657 54-9786 before you arrive they will open the gate for you…I think because we were here during their low season the had the gate closed! So if you are here in the winter months call ahead of time!
