Park Next To Fray Bentos Museum | Wild Camping

October 27th, 2023 by naestradagenteve

Paisagem incrível! Passamos 3 noites de frente para o imponente rio Uruguai. Então compensou a falta de sinal 4G Antel e também o barulho de carros e motos que passam pelo local para irem em direção aos campings e balneários da região. Os locais pescam e tomam mates pela redondeza, mas não tivemos problemas com som alto. Existe policiamento pelo local! Não tem água, nem banheiros... Cuidado com os cavalos curiosos, tem mais de 30 e são dóceis...

Incredible landscape! We spent 3 nights facing the imposing Uruguay river. So it made up for the lack of 4G Antel signal and also the noise of cars and motorbikes that pass through the place to go towards the campsites in the region. Locals fish and drink "mates" nearby, but we had no problems with loud music. There is police around the place! There is no water and no bathrooms... Be careful with the curious horses, there are more than 30 and they are docile...

Hermoso lugar, muy tranquilo. Sin servicios pero con una playa muy agradable. Hay caballos sueltos. Pasamos dos noches.

We had 3 quiet nights (monday to wednesday). Only a short walk to the industrial museum.
In the afternoons horses came by visiting us.

Chose to park under the light near the center of the clearing. Most of the shadowy areas were in use by lovers. Super quiet night. Beautiful storm passed over.

A green space to spend one day. Don't mis the museum. A local person said it's not so safe there, is better to stay at night on the next town Las Cañas

Es un buen lugar para pasar un día. No se pierdan el museo. Un local nos dijo qué no es tan seguro por lo que nos fuimos al siguiente pueblo Las Cañas para el segundo día

Lovely night here. Parkland with multiple nice spots along the river, next to the fray bentos factory. Enjoyed the tour too.

Great spots and lots of them. Fisherman during the day at the beaches. Don't leave your shoes outside as the horses grabbed one of ours! Luckily when we yelled he dropped it. We stayed 3 nights. BTW bathrooms are now grey 😀

Very convenient before or after crossing the border with Argentina. On Saturday night, a lot of couples, but very quiet.

Endroit très tranquille à côté du musée. Superbe vue sur la rivière.

River was flooded so we stayed up on the cliff with our tent. At midnight we were woken up by police who told we cannot camp there but let us sleep until the morning. Everything was nice and polite. Maybe it's allowed to camp at the river.

Very convenient for the museum and great shade. Quite busy until 11pm the quiet until 7am when the grass cutting team with strimmers arrived.

Parked at a small clearing 500m further down from the museum, along the river bank. Nice spot, quiet night and surrounded by curious horses. Visited the museum next day which we would recommend.

Didn’t camp but looked like a nice place, lots of people fishing and horses roaming around. Definitely worth the tour (approx 2 hours) as you get to go around all the old machinery and learn about the history of the place. They speak English too. It’s even better on a Tuesday when entry and the tour is free! (120$ normally)

We stayed here for 4 days. A nice place with nice horses asking for food.. there are people all the night crossing the roads but it is quiet. It is a nice place to stay for free. We ask to police if its secure and they sad Yes.
there are bathroom at the museum.

We found a very quiet site some hundred meters downstream the factory.

Nice place (for free) next to the museum and the river bevor the border to Argentina. We stayed there for 2 nights with 3 other overlander. There are public toilets (basic, but ok). Tuesdays is free entry at the museum and we had a private tour for free (just try and ask ;-)) Place is for free. WiFi at the entrance and only when the museum is open.

We are quite spoilt when it comes to sightseeing, but the museum and especially the tour are an absolute highlight. After spending a night amidst the horses on the river bank we tremendously enjoyed the Unesco World Heritage site: an old factory with impressive machines, architecture and stories about its history. Worth at least 2 hours of roaming around.

Free entrance and guided tour on tuesday. Open Wi-Fi (Hidrovia) near the entrance.

From the factory follow the small road along the rivers edge to find lots of nice camping spots by the river.

Is like a big park, very nice, river side with a lot of places to park for any size rig. Very quiet at night but popular with visitors at day

Park by the river, nice places with shade to park the car for the night and visit the museum. There are toilets that are open at the entrance of the museum.
