Easy booking online for the entry, paying with pago facil. Also you can cancel your entry on the same page, and make a new reservation (must be the same number of days/ nights if you have booked camping). People over 60 can stay for free, also foreigners.
Very friendly rangers, one of the best organized parks in Argentina, clean toilets, nice campground at the Laguna and at the entrance we stayed for free on our return.

Booked our entry slot online and paid at pago facil. Straightforward. The road to the Ranger Station was rouge ripio. Afterwards got better, easy drive. Absolutely worthwhile! we enjoyed the night at above 3000m!

Road to ranger station still horrible ripio, especially the second part. Very helpful & friendly ranger explain everything you need to know before you set out for the 2h journey to the laguna

You have to book your entrance online and pay before you go to the ranger station (www.mendoza.gov.ar/areasnaturales/laguna-del-diamante/). The rangers controll your booking and if you payed the entrance fee (now 450 Pesos entrance and 450 Pesos for camping).
The road to the ranger station is horrible washbord and the way up to the lagoon is a rocky and bumpy mountain road. Enjoy the views 🙂

We have been at the ranger Station, but the gate was closed and nobody was there, so we parked our Land Rover nearby and waited. After an hour or so the rangers came and told us, that its not possible to get in, because the street is in bad condition. We asked if it would not be possible for our car, but they said no. We were really a bit angry, because its a really long way to go there and it would have been possible to post a sign at the routa 40, where the road to the laguna starts.

We rode the 20km of washboard from ruta 40 to the gate and we were told that it is closed due to snow up there. The people leaving the park said it wasnt bad at all up there but the rangers seem overcautious compared to other countries. They have a small campground at the station with enough room for 2-3 tents with rock walls to shelter from wind, a cooking area with walls as well and bathrooms with running water. Because we could not cross into the park, they let us camp here for free.

They told us there is no way to check online to see if the park is closed, you gotta ride to the gate to find out.
