Accès aux toilettes 24/24h, papier + savon. Possibilité de se garer un peu en retrait du parking. Calme.

Good place to spend the night, no issues. The toilets are not very modern but clean. No trash. Not much wind protection and it was a bit windy. During the night there were 5-6 other vehicles.

We stayed here for all of our stay in the park. Toilets are open all night but the guard told us that the reason they are closing all of the other spots for campers and is because they were leaving the toilets dirty (the all night toilets) and making it difficult for the cleaners to look after the premises, especially when you have lots of people arriving early for walks. That’s why in the other visitor centres (for example the welcome centre where you start the mirador Torres walk) the toilets are now closed in the evening. So please everyone, look after the space and let’s start to build the camper reputation back up so they don’t continue to restrict the access. Thank you :) (also the park is beautiful and you should try and do the mirador torres walk, it’s a long one but amazing to see the three towers at the end!)

One of the few places you are officially allowed to camp! Bathrooms stay open all night. Only other free options inside the park from season 2023/2024 are at Guarderia Pingo (near Lago Grey)or Porteria Serrano. You can also go to camping Pehoe (recommended) or expensive parking lot near Centro Las Torres.

Spent one night here, only us and another van. We arrived around 8pm so no one was there. Bathrooms open 24/7. We stayed here after doing Mirador Condor and the next morning we headed for Mirador Grey - both much recommended!!

Note!! The ranger at administration building told us since 2023 it is NOT allowed for motorhomes to park on this and other sites anymore. Only 2-3 places are officially allowed: camping Pehoe, Guarderia Lago Azul, and Parking Lago Grey with high exception. We stayed at other spots nevertheless and we were not sent away.

Friendly rangers confirmed we could stay here (and gave us some fruits). The bathroom (no shower) are open 24/24, the parking is large, we stay in the grass area close to the water. The rangers left around 20h30-21h, and come back at 8h00.
One more thing : there are lots of mosquitoes here, especially late in the day.

Good place to spend the night, really peaceful but not protection from the wind. Toilets are open all night and there's one socket inside to charge. Some tables to rest from the wind, hidden by the offices. Beautiful view on Torres del Paine, we got a nice sunrise. The Visitor Center is closed at the moment (covid time). The first wardens arrived a bit before 8AM, no traffic at night.

We stayed here two nights and enjoyed the amazing view with all the flowers around. During daytime visit the museum, it is really interesting! Rangers are friendly no problems at all! It's quiet at night, some other overlanders, facilities are really good, you can find electricity in the bathroom. It is windy as everywhere in TdP ;-) No wifi and no mobile connection with entel.

Camping on the parking lot of the visitor center. On the left side of the building is a place with tables, where it‘s allowed to cook. Otherwise it’s only allowed inside the camper. Free toilets 24hs, nice and clean.
Wifi didn‘t worked when we where here.

stood there for two very quiet nights. It is busy during daytime but quiet from 7 p.m if the bus left. Toilets at the park office and if want you can have a shower in the turistico sur refuge. no one cares.

The parking area of the Administrative Headquarters and Visitor Center is one of the few place, where it is officially allowed to stay overnight in a motorhome. The other four places are at the Pudeto Cafeteria, the Laguna Amarga entrance and Ranger Station, the Lago Sarmiento entrance and Ranger Station as well as the Grey Ranger Station. Or the short version: everywhere you have access to a building with toilets during the night.

Rangers accept cars to park overnight there. Toilets opened 24h. Slow opened WiFi and GSM range. Not to much wind protection. Nice view. Flat.

Wi-Fi is open

Tranquilo para pasar la noche. Los baños permaneces abiertos durante la noche. Cuando nosotros pasamos no había Wi-Fi abierto. Nos pudimos conectar a la red Conaf, la contraseña [Password removed by Moderator.], no recuerdo bien cual de las dos.

We stayed here one night in our campervan. As stated, the bathrooms are open all night. There is no longer an open wifi. There were some locals (I assume park employees) sitting out using the wifi in the evening but when I asked them about the password they played dumb. No cover from the wind and gets noisy early in the morning. It was an ok place to stay for one night.

FREE (with park entrance). Nice and quiet parking lot when we were here. Bathrooms stay open all night. Power is off midnight to 7:30am. Open WiFi.
