Something not right?

Description

Nice spot beside the river. It is sandy. There is a few level locations just up beside the shoreline if water was to rise. Big trees to park under for shade. If not camping here it´s a great stop for the dog to get out and play in the water.

No possible for our camper to park. 7,5m. To small and not flat at all. Very sandy at the end. We went to bogorian trail at fortuna.

Only complaint is that the parking spot on the river’s edge is fairly close to the one lane bridge over the river, and the trucks use compression brakes when they slow down to cross the bridge, even in the middle of the night. We parked under a huge tree, above the high water line, in a dark sandy area. 4x4 is helpful for about a 4 meter stretch to get up high above the high water line. Friendly Ticos were hanging out at sunset and one other group pitched a tent, late in the night. We felt very safe. Very shady and nice sound of the river (when not overpowered by the sound of the trucks). Lots of bird life and folks were fishing in the river as well

We spent the night here, quiet place, the soft noise of the river has rocked us.
Nous avons passé la nuit ici, place tranquille, le doux bruit de la rivière nous à bercé.

We ended up coming here as it was getting late and we were unsuccessful with our other choices in town. It turned out to be a lovely secluded spot by the river. Beautiful trees and rocks and our little one had fun playing in the sand.

still a good spot. Quiet during the night. Some locals camping with tents. Police came during the night to check the situation but didn't bother anyone. So it seems like it is officially allowed to camp.

Nous avons passé la nuit avec notre van.
Super spot
Tout juste après le pont. Au calme sous les arbres et au bord d'une rivière. Nous n'avons pas été dérangé par la route.
