La Calao du Lac Rose | Established Campground

April 11th, 2024 by travelove.org

Toilets/cold shower clean, pool beautiful, very quiet location, but…
… the camping are is deep sand and you can clearly see that many vehicles got already stuck. The sand is dirty and black from ashes of past campfires and not very pleasant to stay. For us with a 2WD van, there was only one position where to camp.
4500 per person.

Nice campground and ok welcome by Swiss, french speaking, owner.
Cold showers only. A bit dirty and not very well taken care of place. Good for one night.

We had some wonderful days. Its very relaxing and quite place. Just right after a day in dakar.
Nice pool, cold beers or Wine at the bar. Our dinner was also very delicate.
Owner helped us to find a mechanic. We would recommend this place.
Lace doesn't change the colour anymore after heavy rain last year.

Horribel place and owner. The owner and his wife are very unfriendly. Verry expensive no service at all and they don't like overlanders. This place is like hell. The worst experience ever.Be wise and don't go there.

Good site offering places for tents, albeit ground a bit rough in places. Excellent well maintained leafy main area offering plenty of shade. Pool with sun loungers. Bar and menu options. Nice place.

L'aire de camping car est en travaux et non sécurisée. Elle se trouve au bord de la route avec un mur de 1m20 et des morceaux de verre. Pourtant on nous a demandé 4500 FCFA par personne malgré le terrain en friche. Nous avons dû aller ailleurs, cet établissement est très bien pour l'hôtel, la piscine et le restaurant mais n'est pas adapté aux camping car.

Tres bel endroit surement le meilleur pour campe du cote du lac rose. Une des deux pistes est sablonneuse priviligiee

Très joli endroit où bivouaquer, à côté du lac rose.
Bel établissement côté jardin/ piscine, bien entretenu. Sanitaires et douches (froides) propres.
Piscine bien agréable.
Cependant manque d'équipements côté camping et accueil glacial quand on ne fait que camper... Dommage !!!

Fantastic little oasis. Great place to chill out of Dakar. Tent is 4500 cfa (including taxes) for a tent. Meal can be a little expensive, but it seems to be European prices I noticed in a few places in Senegal. Make sure you access by the Route du Lac Rose via Niaga otherwise you will have a real nightmare !

a bit complicated to go there. use the piste "bambilor-lac rose".
the campsite and pitches are not so nice, but the bar and pool area is very nice and a good place to relax. fast WiFi. nice and clean facilities.

Campsite is a dumpsite for expansion of the buildings with sand and stone. Camping very sandy. Not particularly friendly. Road here is awful, if you're coming from the South don't be tempted to do the 'shorter' route.

As described a wonderful little oasis. Area is pretty but pretty touristy, but this is a good place to relax with a nice bar, restaurant and staff. I’d return. Camping spots are OK, sand, and close to showers and toilets.

Very nice campsite, with friendly and helpful owner. It is more like a small resort then a campsite.

Clean toilet and (cold) shower facilities.

There is also a pool and a bar/restaurant. They also have WiFi, but it is not very fast.

I would highly recommend this place!

Costs: 7000 CFA per night for two persons and a 4WD.
