Formerly known as Backpacker's Paradise.
Excellent mosquito-screened common area with tables, hammocks, power and a kitchen. Super friendly owners. Wifi – Download speed 30Mbps – Upload speed 10Mbps in the restaurant and common areas. There is a dedicated modem in the common area/kitchen.
Horses roam around free on the campground, its a unique experience to connect with those awesome animals.
For ioverlander travelers we have a special rate of 20$ US per person per night and 10$US a day per vehicle for storage when guests leaves their vehicle here to go with the boat to the islands.
Laundry Service is available for US$10 per load.
Very basic. Shared bathrooms but awesome hot showers. There was a place to grill and covered picnic tables outside, but no kitchen. Probably the cheapest place to stay on Caye Caulker if you don’t have a tent and don’t want to stay in a noisy hostel dorm. Ask the groundskeeper named Moses about conch ceviche.
Closest place to stay by the Belize Zoo. Good place to camp, brand new bathrooms with gigantic showers and covered picnic tables. Lots of people stay here in the cabins to do the night tour of the zoo. We went during the day and saw everything but the spider monkeys. Electricity available only in the office.
A great place to stay before crossing into Guatemala. Very friendly owner. Has a big covered area with tables next to the kitchen with power and wifi. Feels and is safe. The butterfly house was interesting. Watch out for tarantula holes if you're pitching a tent.
The signs on the front advertised camping, pizza and a hostel. The bathrooms are a bit dodgy. The water is solar-heated, and the electric shower heads don't supply enough juice to heat water in the morning, so it's only somewhat warm in the afternoon. But the price is right and the Argentinian couple who run the place are very friendly. We opted for a room because it was only US$5 more for the three of us, but you can pitch a tent here as well.
50 pP now! Not very suitable for people that sleep in (or on) their vehicle.
One of the best campgrounds of our trip to date. Lots of grassy areas to pitch a tent plus a fire pit that we used nearly every night. Very friendly English-speaking staff. The camping area's kitchen was wood-fire only. We used the oven half a dozen times with great success. Internet is available in the restaurant, which serves great food at reasonable prices, but only worked a couple hours during our six night stay. Big rigs be careful on the drive in. The road is narrow and there aren't places to turn around.
Hotel and campsite. One of the best tent camping spots we found in Bolivia. Grass, a fire ring and a covered common area with power. Vehicles have a "reasonly flat" spot available close to the hostel area, just within wifi coverage, but right at the entrance of the hostel and kind a walktrough your camper van. Not too recommend for overlanders.
Lots of bugs, but blissfully warm temperatures relative to La Paz. The restaurant is reasonably priced and has a good reputation for German food. The surrounding property is huge, and is dotted with cabins that sleep 3-8 people. At the end of a narrow dirt road with no good turn arounds. Big rigs may have trouble. When wet, you probably need 4x4. (Update: a 2wd will do it for sure)
Continental breakfast is included, but we're not sure if the restaurant is open beyond that. Oruro isn't the happiest town in Bolivia, and finding a place to stay that had secured parking proved difficult. If you sleep in your vehicle it would be possible to stay a night in their parking lot.
Another case of needing a hotel with secure parking in the city. We only stayed one night, favoring to head to the more popular city of Sucre sooner rather than later. This hotel was decent enough, but lacked wifi. There was a kitchen, but we're not sure if it was free for guests to use or if it was part of a restaurant that was not open. Entry has height restriction, big rigs may have trouble.
Update 12.06.2018 from Owners
ideally the area is only suited for self contained vehicles; i.e. rooftop tents, small motorhomes etc; not for stand alone tents on their own, i.e. cyclists or motorcycles. This is because, particularly in the rainy season the area can get quite wet. You can try in the dry times like Winter but just be prepared for them to say no....they simply just dont want people to be inconvienenced if they set a tent up then get inindated with water.
A small grassy area very close to the center of Sucre. It's not signed, but it is a well-known stop for overlanders. Upon arrival you need to track down the owner, Alberto or his wife Felicidad and have them let you in. Alberto may be in his workshop on the property, knock loudly on the red door number 70, or at their house which can be found around the corner at 416 Aniceto Arce. Very friendly people and an excellent (and the only) place to camp in Sucre just a few blocks from the center. They also have a room for rent at the top of the A-frame common area.
Update: The entrance gate is now 3.20 meter wide and no height restrictions. Internet is fast and reliable. Camping outside on the street is possible and would be a good overflow facility for reasonably self contained campers during peak times especially since passing traffic at night is close to zero.

You can camp anywhere on the Solar de Uyuni, but Isla Pescador is probably your best bet. Not to be confused with Isla Pescado, the more popular destination for tour groups. You can stay on Pescado, but it's not a friendly place for tent campers and is likely to be crowded in the afternoon. However, there are bathrooms and trash facilities available, whereas Pescador has nothing. We spent the entire day and night without seeing another soul. We recommend camping around the back side of the island so you'll have a view of the sunset.
Just off the road on the right as you leave the Laguna Colorado area we found this dry canyon. You can drive a few hundred meters into the canyon and find a secluded place to camp for the night that's protected from the sun and wind. The elevations in Bolivia's southwest are incredibly high, meaning brutal sun during the day and cold temperatures at night. There are bathrooms and trash facilities at the ranger station on the north end of Laguna Colorado.
Super attentive staff, easy access to reach and maneuver. Peaceful and wooded location.
Easy access to water and electricity, as well as disposal of gray and black water.

This is a members RV park and campground. Membership is a whopping R$2400 per year. We negotiated a better rate with the staff at the gate. We got member prices, paid R82 for the three of us and 2 tents. Still expensive, but not record breaking. The beach is amazing and the wifi good too, although it doesn't reach all sites.
This campground has been revitalized! 2 pools in excellent condition. Water, power outlets and points to connect/empty your sewage. BBQ and kitchen. Accepting RVs up to 14m. The campground is just off the freeway, a quick 24 mile drive into Rio. A good place to park if you want to take a bus into Rio for a few days. There is a male Rottweiler to keep the place safe. Think twice if you have a male dog with you.
About a 45 minute walk to Ipanema and Copacabana, and a R$25 taxi ride to the center. This guesthouse has parking for a additional R$15 per day but is limited to two cars. Make sure to reserve the spot when making a reservation. If you have anything longer or taller than a stock Land Rover, you probably won't fit. Nice rooms, fast wifi free breakfast, and very helpful staff.
A very friendly owner. They seem to care about noise at night, so it's a good bet this will be a quite place to spend a night. The camp sites are small, vehicles larger than our 4Runner may not fit.
A very large campground five minutes walk from the beach. Has sinks, good grills and there was plenty of firewood nearby. The restaurant may be noisy on the weekends or if there is a party.
A quiet campsite on a river a few minutes drive from the waterfalls. There are 20 or 30 campsites within 10 miles of the waterfalls, we chose this one because it was the least crowded. The showers were being renovated when we were here so we did not verify the owner's claim of having hot water.
Nice place with big grassy areas, and lots of trees. Lots of grills, and there is a nice covered common area with a small kitchen for when it rains. It's a short walk to town and the beach. Internet was very hit or miss, most of the time it did not work. Watch out for a biting dog!
On the lake. Likely to be crowded during the weekends, but most people seem to be there only for the day. Has a few covered shelters with tables, grills and electricity.
A nice little camping area with access to the waterfalls, surrounded by farm fields. The owner will turn on the hot water on request. Lots of cats, dogs, chickens and geese running through the camping area. There is a restaurant with a patio that we were free to use in the event of rain. Camping areas did not have shelters, but there were tables to use. Electricity available in the restaurant.
Nice covered areas at almost every campsite, most have wind breaks. Right on the lake. Owner speaks English and is very helpful. Internet was decent, but definitely not fast. Hot showers were hit or miss.
About 15km southwest of Puerto Montt. There are covered picnic tables at each site and a big common area as well. Internet is fast and reaches almost all the camping area. Cabanas available.
A good place just a few kilometers outside Ancud. Covered areas at most camping sites, and good grass for pitching tents everywhere. There is an indoor common area with tables and a big wood fireplace. Negotiate for a better price. The cabanas are expensive and not very clean. Hot showers available if you request it. Cabanas available. Camping opens in December.
Super friendly place just outside of Quellon. There are picnic tables at sites and two covered areas - there is a restaurant plus a large outdoor covered space. Great internet and amazing sunsets over Quellon. We stayed here just before taking the ferry across to Chaiten. The ferry leaves at midnight and the family let us stay all day without an extra charge. Cabanas available.
5k pp for campers
On a long stretch of river about 35km west of Futaleufu. Beautiful scenery. There are lots of covered areas, some at sites, others big communal areas. Plenty of space and grassy areas for tents. Watch out for the wild (domesticated) boars! Showers are hot, but are wood fired. Electricity in the house only. Cabanas available.
The campground is just before the bridge right on the main street, which is paved. It has plenty of space for all types of vehicles and the access is good. There is no height restriction. It has 14 delimited spaces equipped with water, light, table, lamp and barbecue. lots of shady places with trees and grass. 4 toilets and 4 showers for each gender. hot water from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
Right on the river just before town. There are covered areas at the campsites, and plenty of tables and fire pits. There's a covered kitchen and area to wash clothes and dishes and each site has a light and outlet to change. The fishing is excellent.
Covered camping spaces are small, but the family that owns the place is very friendly. They grilled an entire lamb for New Years and were nice enough to share a huge part of it with us. There are two common rooms for cooking, one with a wood fired stove you can use for heat or cooking. It's a short walk to the water. It would be difficult for big rigs to park here. Limited power outlets (almost none).
