It's inside the market area. At Saturday evening 16-17h it was closed. We filled all our bottles 20l / 5l for the 7-day trip for Laguna route. My girlfriend hat problems with the stomach but we don't think it's from the water because the problems starts after 3 days. 2 guys had no problems. We think it's safe.

Visitei com minha família (esposa, filhos e cachorro). Lugar muito bem localizado e tranquilo. Pertinho do calçadão e restaurantes, da pra ir a pé. Fomos de motorhome. Lugar com água e energia. Banheiro muito precário, usamos somente do motorhome. Pagamos 30 reais por pessoa, não cobrou as crianças.

Incredible place. You can camp for 50 BOB. They also offer rooms (350 for a double) and cabañas (450). Serve lunch and dinner for 70-80 BOB pp. The place is completely quiet and extremely beautiful. There's a little river for swimming, you can do hikes, mountainbiking and horse riding. Make sure to inform them of your arrival at least 2 days ahead: +59172884956. Go here!

Great opportunity to refill your water. There is a running tab.
You might have to stand in line because the locals refill their water stocks as well.

Great spot - room for 4-6 overnight spots right at the southern end of the lake with multiple pull offs elsewhere along the road. Seems to be popular among locals - somewhere between 4-6 groups spent the night while we were there. Wind can pick up coming off the lake, but there is water access for canoeing/paddle boarding right there. Road was fine, but may get run down as summer goes on.

Great place, stunning beach!! Came here because Restaurant Arrecife (other ioverlander-spot) was ways too expensive (they charge per person and didn't reduce the price although we came in low season and were 2 vans). This free place is even better. If you wanna go 2 the www just walk down the beach next the restaurant and type in their restaurant name in small letters :)

Not free. You pay 15.70 for previlage of parking in a big parking lot. Seriously disappointing such a famous park where so much tourism comes from all around the world.

we couldn't find this spot cause it was dark but a couple kms towards Uyuni we found a big flat spot on the right. there's a thin stream that freezes at night but it's fine to wash dishes.

This place is next to the ferry which brings you into the West Lunga NP. When we arrived, the ferry was on the other side of the river. We spoke to the ranger who told us that the operater is in the park with other visitors and is expected back the next day. We asked him, if we could stay for the night and that was ok for him. There are no facilities at all.

The entry gate wasn't high enough for us ( 3.65m ). Therefore you can park a big rig here before enjoying the hot pools. Adittionaly it is perfect for acclimate to the altitude before driving to El Tatio. Weak 4G Movistar signal.
