Andes Nomads, Desert Camp & Lodge | Established Campground

Unfair to complain about salty water as it is a place in the dessert. But they could fix men's toilet so that the flush works. As well they could fix men's showers so that hot water works. They could clean the pool.
But they don't have to as it's San Pedro de Atacama, so tourists will come anyway...

Very good campsite, ahowers work great now, wifi too :), shade, sitting places. Mostly clean. Recommend!!

March 11th, 2024 by instagram.com/daniel_amer

Really nice camp site - hot showers with pressure - solar even works when light clouds. Electricity for campers was NO problem. Wifi worked great. Great place.

February 24th, 2024 by secretcreditor54

Really nice place! we had some resttime here. The weather was hot so the pool was nice for refreshment.
The owner is kind and helpful.
The place was clean.
I really recommend it!

We stayed here only one night after the lagoon road. The showers changed between really hot and cold. I tried to find the middle for the temperature but no chance. Also has the water in the shower a bad smell.
We filled our RV Tank and the water also smells. We used it only for dish washing but not to drink. The WiFi was okay. Its also for Big Rigs, no limits for heigh or weight. Maybe only trees are little bit low in some parts.
You have energy and light on your place. The pool has half water and where really cold. The laundry is only from 10-5pm and runs with a generator. Its 4000 CLP for max. 5kg and 600 CLP for detergent. With our stuff member it was easy to use it two times, but the young lady sayed that we need a appointment for the laundry and also for overnight.
We payed 25000 CLP for 2 adults and one 6 years child for one night and where not so happy.

Lovely place! Perfect to explore the highlights of this area. Clean, friendly owner and quiet. Nice nightsky with a lot of stars because it is really dark. It is 15 min. from San Pedro center.
Still 10.000

November 18th, 2023 by Tino

Very nice place and perfect for campervans & tents in the middle of the nature. Quiet, clean amenities, good value for the price (10'000 pp seems quite normal in this area). Hot showers and solid pressure. Recommended!

November 4th, 2023 by rburrows407

Perfect place to rest and reset after the Laguna Route or on your way northbound. Quiet, well shaded spots, hot showers and laundry.

July 16th, 2023 by roaming_dutchies

Okay campsite. The location and views are amazing. Quiet, no traffic. Many power issues, site runs on solar energy and battery is insufficient for the site.
Meaning no power in morning or after sunset. No hot water only when it’s super sunny, between 11-16 which is very inconvenient. Did not have 1 hot shower. WiFi not working half the time due to power issues.

We go to campings so we can heat by electricity. That’s possible here, even if we use only 1000W and being the only people on the camping, the system can’t take it.

Sanitairy building very cold, like 5° in the morning and no lights.. toilet tiny you can not sit with the door closed. All water is salty and you need to pay for refilling potable water. It’s all too primitive for this price of $20.000 per night.

June 21st, 2023 by erich.marti.57

As usual, the best camp site for Overlanders in San Pedro de Atacama.

May 30th, 2023 by nomadexpedition.es

fue un acierto quedarnos aquí en nuestro paso por San Pedro. El camping está un poco alejado del centro lo que hace que se este super tranquilo y se tenga una vista de las estrellas por la noche increíble.
Mauricio y Jessi son super amables y dispuestos. el camping cuenta con grandes espacios, mucha sombra, duchas de agua caliente, baños, fregaderos para lavar, lavadora (coste adicional) , agua potable para recargar tu botella diaria, piscina (coste adicional) , parrillas y posibilidad de hacer fogata, aceptan mascotas, buena conexión wifi ( antena satelital Starlink) , red eléctrica y luz. la verdad que está genial, muy recomendable para estar tranquilos y seguros y sin preocupaciones por el agua, ya que no es fácil conseguir agua en San Pedro!

May 3rd, 2023 by remcosamit66

We stayed two nights 2p and motorhome and paid CLP 20,000 per night. Nice atmosphere. Possibility to use washing machine (CLP 2,000 plus CLP 500 FOR detergent. Shower mostly cold. Could be bad luck but out 4 times 3* cold and 1* luke warm in beginning. Owners very helpful.

April 28th, 2023 by Andi

Fantastic. Big spaces, very clean, a joy!!!

Don't miss.....

April 27th, 2023 by Lonneke Langenberg

Amazing place right under the starts of the Atacama desert. Beautyful spot, quit, clean toilets, hot showers, friendly host. One night is definately not enough, stay longer.

April 8th, 2023 by cam_auger189

Very nice camping !! 10 000pp. We enjoy our night here, very quiet, good facilities ! Potable water also. Highly recommend!

March 26th, 2023 by ines

We cannot recommend the place. Why? 1. The showers hadn't been cleaned, there was still rubbish in every cabin from the previous guest 2. At 9:00 p.m. the power generator went on and the diesel fumes swept over the place! Of course it was loud too. 3. At 10:00 p.m. a huge caravan had to be maneuvered onto the site, which took quite a long time.

March 15th, 2023 by baranovakova.bn

Electricity is made by solar panels, we were told not to use the electric cooker as it tooks too much power. But kitchen is only for room guests. It means if it is windy (can't cook on gas outside)and you do not have a camper, you can't cook here. Facilities clean, soap and toilet paper. Quite good WiFi. Nice place.

March 12th, 2023 by mastamatis

Current phone number. +56 9 3252 1490. Works on WhatsApp too. He said it changed about a month ago. Also, it is posted on the bulletin board when you pull into the property.

March 9th, 2023 by www.wiedekamm.com

absolutely perfect Base Camp to Explore the Environment in day Trips. why?
1) good spots in Shades
2) extreme good WiFi
3) Non Potable Water for Services Like washing machine, hot shower and dishes
4) Potable Water to fill your bottles for the day
5) Potable Water to fill your tank in your Car. WE paid 3.000 Pesos for 80 Liter
6) 220v at Sites If your solar Module fails because of the schade
7) WE paid 10.000 ppn and stayed 6 nights to Explore and get ready for the next Leg
8) Taxi to spda is 8.000 per Ride and very reliable

February 14th, 2023 by 3paarschuheauf4raedern.de

Super nice spot! we stayed here 5 nights, clean campsite for a reasonable price. Shower and bano also clean. owner is friendly and helpful. price was 10000 pp. A lot of other overlander's here to join the warm evenings 😊

January 29th, 2023 by jt501

As previously described, except pool use is included in the camping fee and there are power outlets everywhere. After days or weeks of being on the move this is a great sanctuary. Shower, wifi, supplied drinking water and general peace and quiet are all excellent. Stock up on supplies (there’s a communal fridge if you need) and take a break. Plus the super welcoming owner speaks perfect English.

January 20th, 2023 by dellyquin

very sweet nicely made little camping under chania trees. Hot showers and well maintain). A loud generator at the back but if you are not near it its ok.

January 14th, 2023 by santigordiaz

The owner of the place Mauricio was very friendly letting us boil water in the kitchen for mate.
we put our tent and was 10.000 clp per person very good price.
Hot shower, starlink internet( very fast!) and place to clean the dishes.

January 4th, 2023 by nynke.teertstra

Nice camping. Almost all the spaces have shadow. Also the spaces are nice big. Showers and toilets are clean enough. Pool is good, costs extra money tough (6000). You can do your laundry but it’s a cold wash, because of the energie system (I believe everything is on solar, and he has a generator if it’s been a cloudy day that’s mostly on from 09.00-23.00). Mauricio is a kind and helpful guy.

December 24th, 2022 by adiantes

Great camping near San Pedro. We were here in 5 cars, arrived at night, and were very well received by Mauricio. Plenty of space to accommodate us all together. The water from the taps and showers is well salted, but they provide potable water for drinking and cooking. We spent Christmas here, and it was really welcoming and familiar! The value is 10,000 pesos per person (yes, expensive! But one of the cheapest we found in San Pedro and with the best structure).
_______

ótimo camping próximo de San Pedro. Estivemos aqui em 5 carros, chegamos já à noite, e fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Mauricio. Bastante espaço para nos acomodarmos todos juntos. A água das torneiras e chuveiros é bem salgada, mas eles disponibilizam água potável para beber e cozinhar. Passamos o natal aqui, e foi realmente muito acolhedor e familiar! O valor é 10 mil pesos por pessoa (sim, caro! mas um dos mais baratos que encontramos em San Pedro e com a melhor estrutura).

December 2nd, 2022 by mdelavega

Best camping for rv, campers and people in car. a lot of space, natural tree shade, pool and very nice hosts.

November 19th, 2022 by anais.leblond18

Spent 3 nights there : an amazing spot near San Pedro ! Quiet, with lots of services and the kindness of Mauricio. If you are near this place, do not hesitate and spend the night there !

November 5th, 2022 by Sneglefart

We really enjoyed this campsite. Nice, good space, swimming pool. You can get everything. After travelling for many days we met the first overlanders here. The only drawback is the poor wifi.

November 1st, 2022 by Flo

As described, but we paid 10.000 per person.

September 11th, 2022 by juliewanders

Beautiful campsite
Perfect place to relax
The owner, Mauricio, is friendly and very helpful. He helped us repair our water tap and founds us a mechanic in town

June 1st, 2022 by timandsaartje

Nice big camping, showers were not really hot though. But nice environment

May 6th, 2022 by offtoseethe.world

Very nice place with amazing views, clean bathrooms and hot showers. Very large, level, shady and beautiful sitios with a lot of privacy. They provide a table, chairs, BBQ, fire pit, electricity (Chilean/EU household plugs), lights and non-potable water at each sitio. 9500 pesos per person per night and they had a 3 nights for the price of 2 promotion when we were there. Washing machine available for 3000 pesos per load. A 15 minutes drive from the center of SPdA (7000-8000 pesos for a taxi). Unreliable WiFi and poor Entel and Movistar connection.

One major downside: I was bitten by Lucky, the campsite dog. He wasn't being aggressive, but rather too enthusiastic and playful (he's still very young). Nevertheless, I thought it might be important to know, especially if you have young kids.

May 2nd, 2022 by kelwill

Amazing place! 9500 pesos per person per night. Restroom, hot showers, cooking area, fire pit with wood. Friendly hosts and dog :)

April 9th, 2022 by gncolares

Excelent camping to rest and enjoy the Atacama desert. Mr. Mauricio the owner is an excelent person and can help the overlanders with all we need. We went there for a day and stay for 6 days more.

February 23rd, 2022 by Funstainable

We absolutely loved this place. It is the perfect spot to return to after a couple of wildcamp nights at higher attitude. We did this a couple of times and everytime that we returned we felt at home. Yessy is the best and will do anything in her power to help you! Definitely go here to relax a few days or use it as your basecamp for daytrips.

February 13th, 2022 by Antoinette et Ségo

Very warm welcome from Maurice and Yessy. The campsite is well equipped with hot water and even WiFi! The sites are very large and the bonus of having light, a small water supply, table and barbecue.
The area is very beautiful, peaceful, a very nice place to enjoy the sunsets and starry skies!

December 31st, 2021 by otto

As described, wonderful place and the very helpful and friendly host Mauricio. As. Price from 01.01.2020 on: 9.500 Pesos per night and person.

Ask Mauricio for Margarita: She makes a great astronomic explanation of the southern hemisphere. She also shows the objects in the sky with her big telescope. You can get pictures from her with you in the front and the night sky in the back. Its only 500m from the campsite away and the price is only 20.000 Pesos. Duration is 3,5 hours, starts at 21:30.

October 22nd, 2021 by risopatronvaldes

Very nice camping and lodge, the hostess Jorge and Jessy are very nice persons who told us what to do and where to go. 100% recommendable to stay

February 28th, 2020 by roadtrip4x4

we spent two days in this wonderful camping, right in the middle of the desert. the campsite has a structure for travelers: trees with great shadows, clean bathrooms, showers with hot showers, washbasins, washing machine, wifi, panoramic views of the volcanoes and a starry sky. We stayed here for 2 days. Mauricio and Rodrigo are wonderful people! The daily rate is 7000 per person. To wash 3000 per load of 5kg of laundry + 600 for detergent.

February 26th, 2020 by sadelucia

We confirm what everyone has already said: 7000 pesos pp/pn, 3000 for the washing machine, free potable and non potable water if you ask Mauricio to open the tap.
Very peaceful with good spots in the shade

February 14th, 2020 by maison59260

Un endroit magnifique. calme, en plein désert, on profite à l ombre du calme. l équipe est super. idéal point pour visiter la région.

February 14th, 2020 by travelbirds2020

They changed the WiFi, good in the morning (up to 1mb/s) and really bad in the afternoon/evening (13-100kb/s)

February 11th, 2020 by travelbirds2020

As described. Nice and quiet. Pool is still too dirty and full of vesps=(

February 5th, 2020 by verenagander

Very friendly owner, nice quiet camping site, warm showers and good wifi around the pool area. Free portable water and washing machine for extra money. Would have been a nice pool but sadly there were tons of vesps inside, so we couldn‘t use. Thank you Mauricio for all the advices.

January 24th, 2020 by duriez.olivier

Qu'ajouter à tous ces commentaires sinon que Mauricio, le maître de ces lieux, est un homme absolument adorable qui cherchera par tous les moyens à vous être utile. Le lieu est absolument incontournable, le seul dans toute l'amsud où nous sommes retournés plusieurs jours de suite, et où nous nous sommes fait des amis.

January 17th, 2020 by b.chaski

Went for one night and end up staying 5 mostly because of the other travellers, we had such a good team there.
Mauricio is obviously a great person very friendly who joined us almost every night to talk to us. Rodrigo is also the best always smiling. We park under the big tree so perfect for the shadow. The swimming pool is nice but not very clean. A bit far from the city and nothing around but al least you enjoy the quiet surrounding. We really enjoyed staying here.
7000 pp.

December 12th, 2019 by LivingOffKilter

Spend 3 weeks here over Christmas and New Year, had an excellent time.
We also incorporated a 3 night tour to Uyuni, which an experience in more ways than one.
The campsite is run on solar and generator. WiFi is not brilliant but it works. We were able to connect to Claro.
It's a simple site in the desert but it seems to work well. We had a great Christmas and New Year with many overlanders.

December 12th, 2019 by LivingOffKilter

This is a beautiful spot. Our first night and it's so peaceful.

November 16th, 2019 by vismaplanete.com

Meilleur spot du Chili !
Camping au cœur du désert, loin de l’agitation de la ville. Le propriétaire, Mauricio, est très sympathique. Et ses 2 assistants, Rodrigo et Camila, sont adorables. Emplacements plats, parfois à l’ombre, avec électricité, et lumière. Wifi capricieux. Chiens acceptés. Pas de restriction de hauteur. Toilettes, douches chaudes à l’eau salée, piscine d’eau salée, machine à laver à l’eau salée en supplément (3 000$Ch la machine). Nous sommes dans un salar, il ne faut pas l’oublier. Je dirai même plus, nous sommes dans un désert, à ce titre, il faut réguler sa consommation d’eau. Soyons responsables.
On peut vous amener en ville et venir vous récupérer pour 5 000$Ch en tout.
7 000$Ch pppn comprenant l’eau potable. Mauricio vous offre la possibilité de remplir en eau potable vos gourdes, tous les jours. Nous n’avions jamais vu ça ! Vous pouvez aussi remplir votre tank, au moment de partir, en eau potable, sans surcoût.
Jolie cadre, avec vue sur les chaînes de volcans. Nuit calme et étoilée. Sortie nocturne avec Margarita pour admirer les étoiles, pour 15 000$Ch pp. Il faut d’ailleurs éteindre les lumières extérieures dans le camping à partir de 21h pour respecter ceux qui veulent observer le cosmos.
Nous sommes restés 3 semaines et avons créé des liens avec chaque membre du camping. Nos « au revoir » furent difficiles

November 1st, 2019 by vanpanam.com

Wifi super slow and barely reached the van, which was frustrating for the amount you’re paying, though the location is lovely and the showers have great pressure and hot water if you need it. They also have night astronomy tours really close to the campsite so you don’t have to do the ones in town.

October 12th, 2019 by pletzer.winfried

Watch out! There is a second sign, description and rating on IOverlander for this place.
Enlarge the Map to see the second sign behind this one.
Very recomendet! I agree!

October 10th, 2019 by joseph.controni

camping très calme, très propre, douche chaude, piscine, lave linge ,(3000 pesos pour 5 kgs), dans un oasis à une dizaine de kilomètres de San Pedro. Maurizio le propriétaire, Camila et Rodrigo sont très serviables et gentils. nous avons eu droit a une leçon de photo de nuit par Camila. Maurizio parle très bien français. nous étions en camping car. La nuit le ciel est tout étoilé. on recommande pour les amoureux de la nature et de calme. 7000 pesos par personnes.

August 14th, 2019 by ShredAir's Journey

Absolutely a top site, up there with the best in South America! Beautiful surroundings and excellent facilities and Q U I E T !!!
Here you can listen to the silence! Easily the best place for overlanders in this area.
Once you get close, turn onto the driveway by the Lot 52 sign. Some GPS maps and maps.me lead you too far west where there is no access. Google maps supposedly displays correctly.

May 4th, 2019 by Marshmallowthebus

Spent 2 1/2 weeks at Mauricios Campsite! What a lovely place to be stuck! Our dieselpump was leaking and Mauricio help us with everything as much as he could until we found a solution. Plus showers are hot, toilets are clean and there’s a sink to do your dishes.

April 19th, 2019 by mueller_prochinig

This is a very clean, safe and beautiful place to stay and to storage your car. Very friendly helpful owner.

April 13th, 2019 by gloxin

Good Place to get clean Alain After some days of wild camping

February 25th, 2019 by destinovagabun2

Mauricio is a very good host, good place to meet other overlanders, lots of places with electricity available. Clean water, hot showers. WiFi and pool well maintained. Pet friendly.

February 23rd, 2019 by erich.marti.57

Camping for big rigs. Really nice place to stay. Very friendly and helpful owner.

February 22nd, 2019 by carolesellem

Decided to escape from San Pedro de Atacama and go to this place. Struggled a bit to find the place. Lovely and peaceful. 7000 pesos pp for camper van. Electricity on site running from 8am till midnight. Hot showers. They are French speaking owners also. Wifi not bad during our stay.

February 21st, 2019 by Sigi

The facilities are getting a bit tired. Not easy to get a hot shower. Doors don’t close well anymore etc. Swimming pool not very appealing to use. Kitchen now only for users of the Cabañas, not for campers. They have plans to build one for campers. Still a nice place to be in the nature, have shade under a tree and meet other overlanders. Good atmosphere. Still recommended.

January 8th, 2019 by rideliveexplore.com

location info is spot on. stayed here 4 nights and had a fantastic time. Ample shade to pitch tent and park the motorcycle. Mauris the owner is well travelled and really friendly. Rooms are also available. brilliant night sky. Excellent showers and toilets all spotless clean. drinking water included on price. 5000 for one tent and motor cycle. Definitely reccomended. Enjoy

November 27th, 2018 by raser87

Really nice place in the desert! Clean hot hot showers, and bathrooms with paper. sink, was clean , nice pool , quiet at night. The WiFi was good at our time. Very friendly and helpful owner. But think about you re in the desert, so there are no shops or restaurant! Drinking water available - but only to fill small bottles

November 12th, 2018 by rebekah.payne

Brilliant host and great community feel. Clean showers and toilets! Really good camp ground with pool. Also has water/kitchen facilities and laundry too. Good location out of San Pedro with great views of the mountains. Definitely worth the stay! 7000CHP p/p

November 2nd, 2018 by hordago.fr

Nice place under the trees and out of the city of SP de Atacama.
Hot solar shower until midnight.
No electricity from 10:00pm to 08:00am
Camping is totally of the grid 😁
Bathroom are clean.
Wifi is very slow and only near the bathroom.
The owner is very nice and volunteers too.
7000 CP per person and per night.

October 14th, 2018 by briandamage183

great place for overland. shower, bathroom. swimming pool
7.000 chilean pesos for person.

September 26th, 2018 by juliardsiqueira

The best camping of Atacama. camping completo, com ótima infraestrutura, espaço, excelente cozinha, água potável, banheiros limpos e organizado, com preço muito justo o melhor da região do deserto. Maurício nos deu todo suporte e é uma pessoa muito amável. Amamos ficar nesse lugar

September 22nd, 2018 by Calderescapes

After passing through the tiny town of Cucuter from San Pedro, in about 2km you'll see a yellow sign saying "Lot 52" - this is the turn and you'll be able to see campers. Nice little oasis and very quiet.
Pool was not open when we were here but showers were hot and clean. Unfortunately in the two days we were here the banos and camping sinks were not cleaned (if you have a fully equipped camper, the hostel's kitchen is off limits if they are full), - the volunteers get weekends off (?), WiFi extremely slow one day and out most of second day. No shops or restaurants around so come prepared. Washing machine use costs 3000CLP and didn't spin well. Oh and power went out about five times during our stay. Owner is very nice though. Might have stayed longer if WiFi better as we'd been disconnected for several days and needed it.

September 21st, 2018 by vardeuai

We stay here for 1 day. Manager Mauricio very amable. Simple place with hot showers, toilets, water to fill tanks but eletricity is limited.
$5.000 chi per person only.

September 16th, 2018 by fatimagedaniel

Wonderful place a bit away from busy San Pedro. Best price benefit. Washing machine available. Mauricio, the owner, was so Nice and helpful.

September 13th, 2018 by 1984flores

Great experience!
Very nice place, clean bathrooms and full kitchen, wifi ok, shades, pool, barbecue spots, and the best place to see the stars only for that worth stay here.
And Mauricio the owner, is very friendly and always helpful, thanks Mauricio!!!

September 12th, 2018 by sarahetnathalie

Camping au milieu du désert , vrai camping pour les nomades ( eau chaude , toilettes , wifi aléatoire , électricité , machine à laver , eau potable , cuisine ) , piscine . Très calme dans un cadre sublime . Mauricio très sympa , disponible tout en restant discret . Avons payé 5000/adulte la nuit ( gratuit pour enfants ), 3000 / lessive . À RECOMMANDER VRAIMENT , AU TOP

September 10th, 2018 by douhe

Very nice overlander place. Plenty space and everything there. Good showers and clean toilets. Really cool !!!

September 3rd, 2018 by frobata

mauritio is a very friendly and laid back guy who is happy to welcome you in his laid back desert camp!!
most likely you will meet other overlanders there.
it's great that you have so much space for yourself.
great kitchen and comunal area, too.
washing machine available.
very nice overlander vibe.

August 26th, 2018 by croods65

Hello
I think this is the place to stay some days and visit the area.
First we stay some days in San Pedro but with the children is nice to find sometime a secure place where they can run.
We stay one week....!
We have make a great ride in the desert with our bicycle.
The shower are with salt water (just a litlle), but you have potable water in the commun kitchen, and Mauricio work a lot on his potable water station....it will be in place soon.
Mauricio is so friendly and help us when we need.
If you have a big rig it's OK.
It's a quiet and safe place.

July 27th, 2018 by Dutchhiker

After traveling 5 day in the Atacama desert we arrived at Andes Nomads. What a place! It makes you feel at home, relax and secure. Stunning views and a great host makes the picture complete. Electricity through generator is available from 8.00 till 24.00 hours. It is a hidden secret and not easy to find without GPS.

June 30th, 2018 by kicelui20

Exactly as described. Everything an overlander need is available here regardless of the mean of traveling. Just come with your food and your good mood. Moricio is really the most kind man on earth. And an experienced traveler.
The place to be in this area and possibly the place to stay more time than planned.

June 27th, 2018 by double dutch world safari

The first overlander campsite we stayed at in South America great campsite. Great owner Maurice himself a ex overlander.

June 15th, 2018 by zeitreise2018

Really a great spot. Mauricio is a wonderful host. He even collected wood for our campfire. Nice music in the „clubhouse“. Washing machine for 3000P.

June 7th, 2018 by becuriousabouttheworld.com

Everything as described. Led by the overlander for overlanders. Everything what you need in one place. Showers are solar so good water temperature at this time of the year is afternoon only.
5000clp p/pers.

June 3rd, 2018 by gogobrunhilde

We stayed here for a few days, and really liked it! Mauricio is really nice, everything is pretty clean, the hot showers have good pressure, the kitchen is well equipped, there is a great common room and the place is solar-powered. ☀️ The only little thing that you could make better are the really small toilet cabins 🚽😄

May 3rd, 2018 by aymeric.bosche

Very nice and peaceful place. You will definitely stay longer than you thought.

May 3rd, 2018 by Michelle

Best place for miles! Such an amazing camp location, with literally everything you could need. There is Wi-Fi now, and bottled water to drink in the kitchen. Best communal kitchen and cool hang out space during the day. 5000 pesos per person. We could easily stay a week. Food in town at various small supermarkets, market near the cemetery has best veg we thought especially on Thursday when we visited.

April 25th, 2018 by whot.ch

Warning: if you have a strict travel plan, do not visit this place, you will stay longer than expected! It's such a lovely place, clean, affordable and friendly owner. And you will meet lots of overlanders there to exchange travel info.

April 24th, 2018 by lethiecq.j

Great place to relax a few days under the trees of this oasis. Mauricio is more than friendly and speaks good french and english.

April 3rd, 2018 by jjansen

Nice camping with lots of shade. Use of toilet is an interesting exercise (toilet and door are very close together), but we csn live with that ;-) possible to wash your clothes for free. Shower uses bit salty water. 5000clp each

April 1st, 2018 by rnrontheroad.com

Excellent spot for overlanders, everything you need to recharge and very friendly host. Don't rely on wifi, but so worth it for everything else. Sure to become the go to place in San Pedro.

March 24th, 2018 by kombimarylou

Passamos 6 dias nesse camping e como dito anteriormente, é tudo verdade ! Ainda custava 5000 chilenos pp em março/2018 quando estivemos lá. O local é um oásis no meio do deserto, cheio de vegetação e sombra. A piscina é grande e a água é mantida sempre limpa. Os chuveiros tem boa pressão e a água é tão quente quanto você desejar. Banheiros impecavelmente limpos quando estivemos lá. O local conta com uma confortável sala de TV, uma copa com algumas mesas e uma cozinha limpa e com equipamentos novos e bem cuidados. Há uma máquina de lavar roupas e você pode lavar até 4 kgs por diária sem adicional. Maurício é uma pessoa tranquila e realmente se importa com seus hóspedes, tudo que pode ser melhorado no local já está em seus planos. O camping fica localizado à apenas 8,5km da cidade de SPA, o que já faz com que a experiência do céu a noite seja sensacional. Há espaço suficiente para campers maiores.

Great campsite. Communal area inside with tables and chairs, cooking facilities. clean toilets and showers and hot water. There’s even a pool. Mauricio is very helpful and even helped us with some paperwork for our car. Lovely peaceful setting. Highly recommended.

An amazing campsite specialized to overlanders. Great space in the desert setting. Should be advertised as Glamping. Spacious with designated spaces for small and big rigs. Great kitchen and common area with tables, couch, books... indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Coal/wood grill, pool, stargazing observation platform, laundry, clean toilets and showers with hot water... Internet it’s not a forté, but there is some reception from cell towers.
Mauricio was a great host, very friendly and helpful. He will actually look into helping you on every inquiry. He found us a mechanic after we asked about it casually.
He still honored his promotional price of $5000clp /p. Don’t know how long it will last.

Really a nice place! Same place as Andes Nomads, which is mentioned as a second entry in IOverlander. Very helpful and friendly. Good camping, well equipped communal kitchen and clean , hot shower/toilets. Also rooms available and a washing machine for free. Pool, BBQ pits and electricity in an ample, shady place with several spots to camp. WiFi slow but ok to check e-Mails & WhatsApp. Mauricio‘s intention is to create a location for overlanders to relax and recharge energy. As he only recently opened the place he offers the special rate of 5000 CLP per person camping, no extra for car, everything included. Once officially open, he plans to charge 8000 CLP. Highly recommendable.

Amazing place, really nice people! The pool is ready and the shower are wonderful! Only not recommendable if you need WiFi, that didn’t work while we were there.

We hadn't good night here. People, probably volunteers who work here, were loud at night, they had party. Good thing is you can make a laundry for free and they are helpful.

As mentioned before. Maurizio and his staff are very friendly. They are really working to improve the campground. It‘s worth to go. Maybe hard to find in night. You can picture stars inside the camping, very low light pollution. Just great.

Indeed a very nice place, out of dusty and crowded San Pedro
Mauricio the owner, has traveled the world and knows exactly what overlander need. Once the place completely finished, it will be a place which has everything one can wish for,including a nice pool

RUM: Wir standen 3 Nächte hier und der Besitzer Maurice oder Mauritius ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Er hat eine sehr schöne Küche und einen Pool, der bearbeitet wurde, in der Zeit wo wir da waren. Wir durften kostenlos seine Waschmaschine benutzen. Toiletten und Duschen sind gepflegt. Das Problem ist der Wassermangel, aber daran arbeitet er. Ver u. Entsorgung ist teils gegeben. Sein Wasser ist nicht trinkbar und so bietet er kostenlos Wasser aus Wasserspendern an. Der Platz hat Schatten, auch für große Fahrzeuge. Platzgebühr : 5000Pesos pro Person. Wagen sind frei. Strom ist auch gegeben .Da der Platz noch sehr neu ist, gibt es für den Besitzer noch viel zu tun....aber.....das wird schon.

Very nice place, surrounded by the driest desert in the world, but the place is an oasis, full of vegetation, with a good swimming pool. Mauricio its owner very worried about each guest. You can wash your clothes at no additional cost and carry drinking water from the plant that owns reverse osmosis. a highly recommended place, although it is a bit removed from San Pedro, Mauricio can leave you and look for San Pedro.
