Report Check-In

We parked at the parking at street level. It seemed less windy than below near the water. Okay campsite, camp spots are flat on stones. Nearby gas station that had good but expensive coffee.
Safe, not so much traffic noise, some dogs.

pasamos dos noches aquí, en el estacionamiento al lado de la ruta. algo de tráfico pero en general tranquilo y con muchos más motorhome aparcados a lo largo de la calle.

It's a parking lot by the beach, along the side of the road. It's all you'd expect from it, nothing more, nothing less. Nice views on the lake! Had to grieve my grandfather's passing here. That's got nothing to do with the caming spot, but there it is. Gas station nearby has WiFi and other facilities.

perfect place. Police said ok but no tent in the evening. Army asked us to leave in the morning. We came back in the evening, no problem.

stayed there 2 nights After being kick out from the beach. some spotlight...

Report Check-In

Stayed here 2 nights, even though there is a sign saying no camping on the beach the police said it was fine and there were several campers and vans staying there both nights. Probably just means no tent camping (and I wouldn't want to anyway-- it's very windy!) If you're in a tent, go near the trees on the other side of the tour company shacks. Anyways, it's a gorgeous view of the lake and can walk everywhere from this spot!

Stayed here one night. Directly on the beach. Entrance through the small tour huts and drive until the end of the beach. Quiet at night. Lot of other overlanders or rental cars. Toilets during the day for 250pp. Splendid sunset.

Good spot very calm and safe. the police say no problems

Report Check-In

Staged two nights at this place due to bad weather. Nothing special, but ok for a few nights. Toilets at Copec are ok.

Report Check-In

As described. We were here with about 8 other vehicles, no issues with police but probably because it’s still low season. Copec toilets now 250 pesos.

Also we did a kayak tour of the marble caves (40k/pp) with Camilo of Tribu Patagonia. Spent over two hours there towards the end of the day and had it to ourselves, amazing experience and much better than the boat tours.

Report Check-In

Stayed a night here in our van with no problems at all. Very quiet, just a bit bright from the street lights!

Toilets at COPEC are now $250

Report Check-In

OK for the night, quiet and not alone (tents, rigs, van,...).

Report Check-In

We were able to camp here without an issue the first night. Tent campers were asked to leave. The following day we were told by the police we that we couldn’t camp there anymore but that we could park and spend the night on the parking lot next to the road, so we did with another 7 vehicles.

Parked our campervan at the beach next to some trees. Two other overlanders there. Toilets Copec are a short walk. Good for one night after having some beers at the cerveceria.

We spend a night in our car on the parking in front of the expeditions offices. Quiet night in low season. You also can stay on the beach I guess. Bathroom available at Cope for 200 pesos.
