Okay campsite. Camp spots are large, flat, and gorgeous view on the mountains. Bathroom Facilities very poor; no light, no hot water, not possible to flush, no toilet seats.. really old and run down, almost prison like vibe. No electricity during our stay. Very quiet and safe.
Be aware for the weird bugs (fly type) that sit on you and crawl inside everywhere. It seems like an infestation, thousands everywhere outside and also inside toilet house

Report Check-In

We stayed one night 2p and motorhome and paid ARS 1,200 .
However, one of the worst campsites in 4mnths chili/argentina. Toilets/shower area not cleaned at all. So dirty, that we did not use showers.
Spots did have electricity, tables BBQ pit. Off season i do not recommend this.

Lugar tranquilo y seguro, 1200 pesos argentinos y puedes ocupar duchas baños y electricidad. Buena opción si te quedas por la zona.

It’s a safe and nice spot but the bath is nauseating. We didn’t use it.

Buena atención y buen precio. Tiene tomacorrientes bien repartidos. Los baños NO son de lo mejor.

Report Check-In

Camping Grande, chuveiros quentes, contudo banheiros precisam de uma boa reforma e como o camping é grande acabam sujando rápido, excelente pedida para o banho é o YPF Aduana, com os melhores banheiros da Argentina... o camping é barato AR$ 1.200,00 para 2 adultos e duas crianças em barraca de teto, e dinheiro que economiza gasta no banho no YPF que é AR$ 700,00, mas vale muito a pena

Location is good, price is cheap (1220 for 2 and a van). The woman of the campground did our laundry for 1500 pesos and was super clean.

But to be honest, the bathrooms were disgusting.

Report Check-In

After a 5 days trip to the very expensive Chile, we returned to Uspallata and spent one more night at the camping. We were able to wash all our clothes (manually, of course) and get ready to hit the road again. Again, we paid ARS 1220 for the night. Camping was very silent and we had a great night (Wednesday to Thursday).

Description as mentioned. Just spent one night before leaving the town. Did not use toilets. Environment not so clean. 1200.- pesos for 2 and motorhome. Very friendly.

Report Check-In

Good camping with an awesome staff. Chela (the administrator) is very kind. Alex (her nephew) is a mechanic, which can be handy. We paid ARS 1220 per night for two people and one car (prices have raised because of the season). Day use is free. Hot showers 24h (although they're not always hot and sometimes too hot). Bathrooms are sufficiently clean, specially considering the camping ground and the amount of people. Water is potable all around the camping. There's no wifi officially, but you can find some hotspots around (even though very slow). Claro 4G signal is good. Chela accepted to keep a backbag with all things we had which would not be allowed to pass through the Chilean customs (seeds, sauces, honey, etc.). We stayed 5 days in Chile and went back to the camping and to get our things back. Everything was intact.

Report Check-In

Excellent cost-benefit, most friendly camphosts ever!

Very large, well structured campground within walking distance to downtown Uspallata. Was also the 2nd most inexpensive camping we paid for in Argentina, and its terms of facilities, noise, etc it was the best of them all. Only black mark was the bathrooms/showers, which are in dire need of renovation -- no problem if you have toilet/shower in your vehicle like we do.

The best part is the married couple that takes care of the campground -- they were the most hospitable, friendly persons we have met in all Argentina.

important note: the campground was shut down today due to the coronavírus scare, and will probably remain closed for the duration.

Dirty toilets, it's true, but each municipal camping we've did in Argentina were cheap and dirt... this one is not worst than another.

buen camping, barrato (210$ por 3 personas, un van y una carpa) la mujer quien trabaja aqui es muy amable.

Observations about toilets and showers unfortunately remain correct. Plumbing has been renewed - to make it even worse in the end. See for yourself. Welcome to a typical argentine camping...

If you can manage another 100 km north, then head for the Barreal Municipal! The ripio was ok when we traversed.

it was open for us. caretaker was there. free to camp. no hot water but there is running water. power at the sites. nice grounds but basic amenities. excellent considering the cost is nothing.

Decent value for the money. We paid 30 pesos per person (including for our 6 year old son), so 90 pesos total.

Still 30 per person and good value. Friendly resident cats.

Huge campground shaded with trees. Very quiet at night only annoying thing was the campground was over lit at night. We were the only ones here so it was great, could be an entirely different story on weekends and summer break. Bathrooms are a little run down, but it is only 30p per person, pretty cheap. 5 minute walk to town. Lots of outdoor space.

Report Check-In

Big campground with lots of spots beneath high trees with tables, benches and grills. The toilets and showers are in an older building but clean. Hot showers. Not more than a 75 minute drive from the border crossing on Los Libertadores (the pass is open year round). Quiet at night. There is a pool, but it was not filled when we were here. 60 pesos for two people.

Report Check-In

As mentioned this is a massive campsite. Was deserted when I was there accept for other people at reception. Toilets have seen better days but otherwise okay for a night. I found it a bit noisy as close to road with passing traffic with absurdly loud exhausts. If you fancy wildcamping head north out of town; there would be plenty of options.

1901m. Unsure of cost, according to other campers nobody had come to collect for days. This looked the best of the 4 campgrounds around town. It’s close to the center of town but still quiet. Wood-fired hot water. Hostel Uspallata 5km east had wifi, a café, and was close to good hiking trails but wouldn’t allow us to camp. With some smooth talking you can probably camp and this would be a better spot.
