We spent 1 night here only as a stop. Small camping, 2 toilets, 2 showers, clean. We were there on a Friday, so it was really loud all night and busy. People coming at all time to start hiking.

Beautiful natural space with a few different areas vehicles can camp and a couple tent areas. There are two hot shower/toilet stalls and a small outdoor sink. Very inexpensive at 10R per person for 48 hours. Many options for different peaks to hike to with various lengths and difficulty. Looks like many overnight on the trail. It is about 6k of dirt road off the main highway in pretty good shape but it’s single lane in many spots. There are a few really steeeeeep sections. One with a curve very near the camp that our heavy, front wheel drive van had quite a difficult time with on the way out.

some information about the hike to pico parana:
do not underestimate this hike! it is longer and much harder than it looks on OSM (maps.me etc).
the first 4k are steep but pretty easy, good trail. however afterwards your are basically scrambling over rocks and roots (both quiet slippery) for another 4.5km. some sections are climbing with metal steps and ropes. while doing so you do a ton of elevation, down and up.
my garmin logged 1900m to the peak!!

bring plenty of water, some energy bars/candy and a good lunch if you attempt to summit.

most people do this hike in two days, there are several spots to tent and now I know why!

the views are nice and you'll summit the highest peak in southern Brazil ;)

I've added a few pictures from some if the climbing sections

I arrived Sunday afternoon, looks like this gets really busy on weekends!
paid 10pppn.
there is a luncheonette, 2 bathrooms with warm showers, a lot of space for tent camping and a few flat spots for cars.
there was a wifi but I didnt ask for the password, not sure its generally available.
the turn-off from the highway has no proper offramp, it just in front of the bridge.
big rigs might have a hard time finding a flat spot.
