It’s a parking lot for a few cars and the start for some trackings. If you want to stay there I recommend to wake early. We arrived late and there’s no one in the guards post.

Slept here after we talked to one of the boat owners. Not a really common place to stay but ok if you get up early.

Ideal place for strategic stops on the river Lake and early lake and overnight stays and meals with own resources.

local ideal para paradas estratégicas ao lago do rio e início do lago e para pernoites e refeições com recursos próprios.

Right before the gate at the end of the road there’s a visitor parking lot for Lago del Desierto. We asked the at the Gendarmeria (Argentinean National Guard) if it was OK to camp in our roof top tents in the parking lot and they said yes, no problem. We’d recommend letting the guards know you’d like to camp at parking lot out of courtesy so they know you there for the night. No fires allowed. There are public restroom about 50 meters past the gate next to the Gendarmeria office building. Nice spot next to the woods, mostly protected from the wind. Access to short hikes along the lake and to the Huemul Glacier. Nice spot. Boat rides also available for 500pp
