Right now they don’t offer camping at all. Only cabanas. They are planning to create 3-4 sites for motorhomes with electricity and dumping facilities and hope to have them ready for next year’s season. So, double check before you go there.

The place is definitely closed and they will not open anymore.

Report Check-In

Camping is not open in winter. We asked and they let us stay and opened the sauna where we could use the toilet and shower. However, the sinks and BBQ stoves were not rigged and unusable.

Nice, big campground with (relatively) good aminities and large flat spots for youR campervan. Open until end of March but the friendly owner opened the camping for us.

Report Check-In

Large campground. All amenities. Water and electricity at sites. 25k for a camper and a family of four. We met some overlanders from Australia here. Internet was really spotty (Privada2 / ambrosio9).

Report Check-In

With all the positive comments we were a bit disappointed with the campground. The individual sites are quite nice with trees for shade and shrubbery to separate you from your neighbors, however the layout, to our taste, is quite boring as it is in a simple grid pattern . the bathrooms were clean and look impressive from the outside, but the inside is nothing we would call "swiss standard". they are a bit run down the showers are unenjoyable as they go from scalding hot to freezing cold every few seconds, not all toilets would flush properly (or at all), the Internet is practically unusable for anything more than emails, the water is supposed to be potable but it smelled and tasted like it came from a marsh, it is also still close enough to the highway to hear it when trying to get to sleep. In our opinion not worth the money. The other amenities (bbq, sink, electricity) are as described in other entries. High season starts Dec 1st not on 15th as mentioned in previous comments - The Description has been modified to reflect new information from owner.

Technically closed until Dec 1st (start of high season) and originally said we couldn’t stay but once he figured out we were overlanders he changed his mind. (Be sure to mention iOverlander!) Super friendly. 4K/person low season price. Nice and quiet!

Arrived around 20:30. Even though the owner mentioned that the camping was closed they let us stay anyway and also use the sauna block toilet and shower for 8000 a night. There were some families staying in the cabins. Very friendly people!

See previous comment. The owner saw my pregnancy and that's why we got a hot shower this early in season. She welcomed us with delicious traditional Chilean fried food. Next morning we payed 5000 pesos for 2p in campervan. Such nice people.

It`s an nice place! We stayed here for 3 days with our camper (8000CLP for 2 Person per night). It was the low-season and we were in the most of the time the only people on this place. Oliver is an sympathetic and helpful owner. There are grill, cold water and electricity by the sites. Normally the campsite is closed at the low-season. For the people, who are coming by ioverland, are ready to keep some sites. Oliver speaks among other things german.

Big campingwith lclean facilities and nice hot shower. Personal is friendly and helpfull. They also have a mini golf, swimmingpool and restaurant, but this is more something in use during season. Camping is that it is open all year round! Previous comments mentioned fast wifi/internet, but when we were there the wifi was slow and only available at the reception/restaurant.

Stayed here on the way over from Santiago to Patagonia. Nice shady spots, swimmingpool (though small) and 2 beers and a completa for only 3000 ;-). We payed 12000 for 2 and a camper van.

It very close to the 5 highway, which makes it good for a stopover.

The GPS coordinates are slightly off, but it's hard to miss.

Swiss run campsite about a 15 minute walk to the falls. Each site has a sink, grill and benches. Although there are several sites, they are each separated by trees and are all flat. We paid 13,000 for 2 people during the busiest week of the year. Fast internet by the restaurant but doesn't reach the campsites. The bathrooms were some of the cleanest we've seen and there were hot showers from 8-10a and 8-10pm. It had a soccer field, pool and hot tub (for an additional cost).
