Lago Pehoe - Torres del Paine | Established Campground

March 19th, 2024 by travelingwolf.com

Nice campground with great views close to viewpoints on the lake.

Lots of private sites very well sheltered from wind and rain (small house wehere you can pitch your tent inside). They offer dinner, which looked very nice.

16k/pp. Hot showers. We stayed for 4 nights. Totally recommend.

On bicycle - plenty of room for us at the start of March when we turned up around 4pm. Everything else mostly as below, although the price is now 16,000pp.

Shelters are fab - a couple have three sides, worth trying to nab one (number 2, for instance).

We had a well-fed and totally unafraid mouse visit in the night; be sure to keep your food in a bag and don’t leave anything out.

Only used showers. 4000 each. Feb 2024. Warm/tepid, but not hot. Lovely girl on reception.

Nice campground with a very friendly owner.
The shelters don't provide much shelter from the wind but there are plenty of bushes.
Nice clean hot showers.
We had dinner in the cafeteria, which was excellent. The full menu is much better value than individual dishes.

Camping is good. Clean facilities and sheltered cooking areas at every campsite. There are three shower buildings. One has always hot water, the other two not (for the hot one: you have two shower buildings close to the restaurant. The one which is the most far away from that two is hot). The third is on the other side of the road and was also not hot.

In contrary to the previous review, the camp wasn’t very busy late December. The previous reviewer visited the place during a national holiday, which might explain the crowds.

We liked the camp. Yes, it’s twice as expensive as regular Chilean campsites, but everything in the park is, so for park standards it’s ok. Spacious sites, hot showers and dishwashing, all reasonably modern. Much calmer atmosphere than the overly crowded campsites and restaurants on the W trek. Recommended base for exploring the various sights on the southwestern side of the park.

already busy in early season. several clean bathrooms with hot showers. no claro Signal. you could buy one hour of WiFi for 9550 CLP if you were in a funny mood...

November 17th, 2023 by gosia.kowalinska

We just stopped for the showers, 5000 pesos per person. Expensive but nothing else in the area.

good maintained place. friendly staff.shower hot 7/24 and bath clean. 14000 ppn.
shop and restaurant.

March 11th, 2023 by puretone_12

Absolutely gorgeous campground, incredible views. Very clean, hot showers, well maintained, very friendly staff. 14,000 chp/pp and kids are half price. Small cafe with coffee/beer/snacks and free WiFi after 9pm. Better wind protection in lower half of campground which is nestled amongst trees, better views up top but more wind exposure. Water available. Highly recommend!

March 8th, 2023 by lauryvanbedaf

nice place, good hot showers and beautiful view!

January 31st, 2023 by vanbulancia22

Camping is 14000 CLP pP now. We asked to take only a quick shower but they wanted 7000 CLP pP - we‘ll stick to wet wipes then

January 24th, 2023 by sentidodovento.com.br

local amplo com bons pontos para acampar. banho quente e limpo. com cafeteria e próximo ao lago pehoe

Really loved this camp. The West camp was full so I ventured to the East. Only the east showers were working so this was great. Weather was HOT and the reception told me the West was fresher and cooler but this was not a problem in the late afternoon and evening at all. It was 20 degrees C and not over hot in camp at all. I found the coolest spot on space 35 away from all the noise and any sound of passing traffic, direct views of torres from my tent and right on the edge of the camp but right near the showers. I was super lucky with the weather and would have stayed longer if heavy rain and cold wasn’t due the following couple of days and I needed to cycle clear of the area. There is a little known hike to Grand Paine base but its a super long hike so if you are in the park and are only planning the hike Grand Paine to Valles de Frances just take the catamaran. Its a rip off but a beautiful hike. Otherwise I believe you can hike from Torres Base if you plan to camp there too. One of my favourite camp sites ever I think. The catamaran goes at 9am then every 90 minutes to Grand Paine. Last two returns is 17:00 and then 18:30 to come back to camp

Nos custou 13.000 pesos chilenos (4 pessoas com uma barraca de teto, com anexo). Valeu cada centavo. Foi um dos melhores campings que ficamos ao longo de nossa expedição. A vista para as montanhas nevadas e o lago é inexplicável. Os banheiros são excelentes. Tem um espaço individual, em frente ao box, para você deixar suas roupas e, depois do banho, se vestir. Ducha ótima, higiene excelente. Não tive vontade de sair deste camping...

December 18th, 2022 by omundonoschama

queriamos apenas tomar banho, porém o valor era 7000pp. para camping completo 14000pp.

November 27th, 2022 by simon.hillmann

For all who are wondering: Yes, you can pay by card. We also just showed up without any reservation with a campervan. No problem (at this time of the year).

November 20th, 2022 by baranovakova.bn

Beautiful campsite near lake. Lots with pretty good shelters for tents, BBQ, Bathrooms with hot water even for washing dishes during the whole day. Not really clean but with toilet paper 😊WiFi in restaurant but during our stay the place was opened but without any restaurant service. You can just buy food at the reception. P.S. you can sit in the restaurant anyway.

November 6th, 2022 by stee.germann

Because of the strike of the park rangers we just had two options to camp cause wild camping wasn’t allowed. There are two campsites…one at the information center and one at Lago Pahoe. We paid 14’000 pp/night. Wifi was available after 9pm and was really bad. The owners are really nice. Water (cold and hot) were available after 8 am.

October 30th, 2022 by carol_montoaneli

excelente area de camping com estrutura para motorhome ou acampar. atualmente está 14mil pesos chilenos por pessoa por noite. tem banho quente, banheiro público, area para fazer parilla em cada area de camping.

January 2nd, 2022 by geylertsesc

Indeed we stayed in the upper part because the lower was full, but only the toilets were sort of functioning; the rest of the infrastructure is very damaged, we doubt they will get that part in service this season. The view is spectacular.

November 26th, 2021 by mmschoor

Super campsite. Nice hot showers, clean bathroom. At the moment the east site is closed (top few people). west site has good wind protection. Nice people. They sell coffee and cake in the shop and some groceries. 12.000 pp is worth the money.

March 12th, 2020 by burtonsnow29

tried to book online and the rest of march was X’d out/unavailable. didn’t stop in to check. not sure if they are closed for the season or what the deal is

March 11th, 2020 by paul.bidmon

The campsite is one of the most beautiful places to see the sunset and great to start day trips. On the other hand, washrooms are bad - no hot water most of the time, electricity the same.. You have to decide: Landscape or comfort. But as soon as you are there, that decision is easy. To the question before: The website always says nothing available, as it isnt working. Just go there and ask, they had many places left in early march.

March 4th, 2020 by mmschoor

fantastic view, esspecially in the eastern part! not crowded at all. In the evening, showers were not warm at all, but in the morning they were really hot.

February 22nd, 2020 by Max

We stayed here for 2 nights and had an amazing view. The campground is pretty quiet and not crowded. We believe it's a much better choice than the camping central. Each campspot has it's own shelter and a fire pit. The bathrooms were OK clean. Yes, its expensive (12.000 pp) but in comparison to 20.000 pp for the camping central its much better and you get more for your money.

February 9th, 2020 by eighty-eight

we only stopped for a shower. Bathrooms are not the cleanest, but the showers were actually nice. costs 2000 p.P. which we found ok considering that it's in a national park and some fuel station ask similar prices.

February 8th, 2020 by mikydude2019

You can have a nice hot shower here without staying in the camping. You just need to pay 2000 pesos per person at the reception. Knowing this, I find very sad to see that some people are still very proud to sneak it.

January 26th, 2020 by marit_sing

Stayed here for 2 nights. Close to the parking lot of the ferry to Lago Grey. We did not camp on the parking lot as the winds were too strong. Toilets not really clean, should be as price is high 12.000pp. Showers hot. Place to wash the dishes. Shelter for cooking. Not all places good for campers.

January 9th, 2020 by gettin-lost.com

Campsite in Torres del Paine NP and close to get to Paine Grande / harbour.
Many spots for campers and for people with tent. Small wooden huts at most campspots incl. Picknick table and carbagge container.
Abolution block with hot water, toiletpaper and soap. Wifi (slow) & small supermarket at reception.
We had no problems with the wind.

Price: 24.000 for 2 persons and a car

January 6th, 2020 by caminhotracado

Good place. Many facilities, but the price for us is very expensive. We paid $12000 pesos for each person. Wifi was unavailable.
------------
Bom lugar, muito boa estrutura, mas preço bem elevado. Pagamos $12 mil pesos por pessoa. Wifi estava indisponível.

December 14th, 2019 by info

Really nice campsite with a great playground for kids. European price and standard. Wifi is working only around the reception.

November 18th, 2019 by hansbo

Very comfortable campground as described. Shelters and picnic-tables at most sites. Nice restaurant with decent food!

October 30th, 2019 by lwalviaje

Camping with sites. Those are for tent or to cook, or motorhome. Big rig possible. We’re roof tent with wind protection. Good baths&warm shower. Place for wash dishes. Restaurant and store. Good place.

October 6th, 2019 by djamila.ait

Very nice place and beautiful surroundings. It has nice hot and clean showers (bit shocked that some people wrote how proud they are to sneak in to have a free shower and not pay the 4000chp... I mean a nice warm shower in the middle of a national park has a price)
Unlike the main description here, I found the place pretty well maintained.

August 16th, 2019 by za22

very nice owner-of course, due to winter time some facilities have been closed- nevertheless he enabled after some special works in his water system to spend water for our camper without extra charge! the owner gave additional advises for nice places and views-we recommend this camp seriously!!!!@

April 29th, 2019 by rframirez215

Nice camping ground for both the tent and campervan. Maintained facilities. Both bathrooms and showers are clean. Previous price not honored. Its up to 11,000 CP ppn. No charge for the van. Parilla, trash bins and table and bench included. Steep but a nice shower and adequate location is the price you have to pay.

March 20th, 2019 by raser87

Like josi write, go to the second building and take a free shower ... no one care about it. Park your car at The parking for the condor hike it’s 5 min to walk in. The first building was closed. The second open with very hot showers but not perfect clean. And toilet paper.

February 26th, 2019 by schreuder.sanne

We have a rooftoptent and we asked for wind shelter we got place 21. This was nice. In the evening there was a Puma at the campspot on the other side of the road. Just watching everything and sometimes changing his spot to lay down. It was a bit of a scare. But the boss of the camping said we were really lucky to see it so close. Just always be at least with 2 adult persons when walking by. The food is nice but really expensive in the restaurant. The walk to the Condor Mirador is doable with a child (4 yr) 1.5 hour return. Very windy on top but a really beautifull view.

February 17th, 2019 by mark_snoey

Good place to stay in torres del paine. Perfect views, amazing sunrise! Might need to level your car camper. Hot showers ok. Stayed here for two nights.

February 3rd, 2019 by world.nopebone.com

We stayed on the grassy place without no right before campsite No 46. This was the best place to have the perfect view on the lake and on the mountains. Showers are hot and ok but not very clean.

January 25th, 2019 by josi.euchner

you can have a free shower here, Just walk in the opposite side of the reception building. There are two bathrooms, when we were there the first one was closed but the second one was opened. No one cared about us

at the reception was a pricelist, you can have the same for 4.000 chp ;)

January 14th, 2019 by jsborges

really beautiful view of the camping. Wifi doesn't Work well, bathrooms ok.

January 9th, 2019 by Crazybikegirl

On the plus side I saw 2 pumas stroll through the campsite in the middle of the day. On the downside a rat kept me awake chewing stuff and trying to get in my tent until I gave in and moved plot at 2.30am! It’s chewed the handlebar grips on my bicycle to shreds, not happy!

January 7th, 2019 by maaikeebberink

Campsite with a beautiful view! We hiked the condor mirador and the cuernos mirador. The last one gives you beautiful views of the mountains and the blue lakes.

January 5th, 2019 by Crazybikegirl

Stunning views, really hot shower, clean bathrooms with toilet paper, every plot has a shelter, bench and parilla. Really great campsite. WiFi after 9pm is just about ok for WhatsApp messages but nothing else. Shop sells chocolate, biscuits etc and some dehydrated camping food for 10,000chp each. No electricity in public places but the lady in reception plugged my battery pack in overnight.

December 31st, 2018 by A3discoverstheplanet.com

See other descriptions.
klean and hot shower/bathroom.
Yes, expensive but everything in the park is expensive.
22000 2 pax + travelcar.

November 26th, 2018 by marenowschenski

I was lucky there was no wind. I stayed at nr. 45. the view was perfect, showers.hot and clean. Wi-Fi only works from 9pm. it's via satellite so it's not so good, but it's free. at the other campgrounds in the parks you pay 10Usd for 8 hours. I loved it. But you can just go the the mirador condor without a car.

March 18th, 2018 by ian.m.scoon

Filled our caravan water tanks here. There’s a water tap and hose next to reception and a tap with threaded outlet near the first toilet block. Just check it’s potable, our fill included lots of organic matter.

March 17th, 2018 by j_vermeulen

spent the night here after doing the condor mirador. nobody came to collect our money at the far shelters. level spot with nice view of the torres.
the furthest toilet block is good with hot showers.

February 11th, 2018 by intrepidfor10minutes

Way to expensive for what it is. No power, no wifi, card machine didn't work, one toilet block closed due to lack of water and tepid water in the shower in the other. Only one shower worked properly and the soap dispensers in both toilets appeared to be full but none would come out. It is impossible to get anywhere near level in some of the camp spots and these were the only ones available to us. We put our roof tent up on a level spot and were invited to join someone's fire. Fortunately the skies were blue with a fantastic view, but we moved on after one night.

January 10th, 2018 by carnetdepassage

Nice campsite. Shelter, table and fire pit for every spot, hot showers, clean toilets and there is a place for laundry. Still 11000pp. wifi and credit card often not working
The booking system is crazy - they have no idea of what they are doing. So come early to be sure you get a spot (first arrived first served).

November 30th, 2017 by henrydeere

Beautiful location with famous view onto the Cuernos. Few kilometers down the road from the catamaran to Paine Grande where you can do day hikes to glacier Grey or the breathtaking valley Frances. Each spot has its own shelter big enough for a two person tent and the provided table. Bathroom facilities are heated and clean with a wonderfully hot shower. WiFi. On-site restaurant open from 8-10pm. Paid 11000 per person/night. Highly recommended.

November 21st, 2017 by sandrabronsvoort

Very good. Beautiful view of Los Cuernos. Very friendly owner. Nice hike nearby (Condor's lookout). Hot showers, toilets, restaurant, wifi (at reception). We were very protected from the wind (with our rooftop tent).

November 18th, 2017 by 300dayssouth.com

Nice spot with glorious views for some sites. Nice clean bathrooms with very hot water. Good wifi. Small store for snacks and a restaurant on the site. Watch out for the big overland tour buses. They arrive every couple of nights and completely take over the campground with no regard for your personal space.

November 17th, 2017 by instagram.com/wayfaring5

Tourism office at both Puerto Natales and the office in the parking lot of Sendero Torres told us this campsite was free. Also, a local we met who was riding his motorcycle through the park (and had a tour agency in Pto Nat) told us it was free. We drove there but it wasn't. 11000clp per person and 5500 for kids 5-11yrs. We are a family of 5 so decided not to camp there. As it was late we parked just outside in a trailhead parking lot. If you are self contained you can pretty much free camp anywhere in the Park. Tents, not so much.

March 16th, 2017 by freespiritcoelhos

Tourism office in punta arenas told us all campsites here are booked out- it was hard to believe as we were in shoulder season so took a chance. No issues campsite was mostly empty. Warm showers, bbq pits, wifi very slow at reception only. Guy at reception didn't want to give password till 9pm probably because of day stoppers but pushed a little and he typed it in - wifi was terribly slow but we needed for work. Views from our window amazing. Small walk to gorgeous laguna and cute animals. Good stop for a night.

December 31st, 2016 by timo.luft

Nice campsite with everything you need

December 5th, 2016 by brunorijsman

About 40 basic campsites: good wind/rain shelter, table with benches, fire pit. Well protected against fierce winds. Central block with toilets, hot (!) showers, dish washing. Maintenance issues mentioned in other posts seem to be resolved: everything well maintained, clean, and functioning. Expensive: 10000 per person. Some sites close to road but little to no traffic at night, little traffic by day. Great views of Cuernos from some sites (eg nr 45 and 46) and from nearby (5 min walk) viewpoint at lake.

November 21st, 2016 by panamericana.de

Grassy campground at Lake Pehoe that is of a just crazy colour. Camp areas on both sides of the road. Only a few cars. Quiet at night and great views. Well maintained and clean. Shelters and BBQs at every site. Clean toilets and showers with hot water. Sinks for laundry/dishes with hot water. No wifi. But who needs it there. Lots of animals around. Recommended! Safe travels!

November 9th, 2016 by jwjbhermans

Very good campsite with a lot of wind protection, shelters, picnic tables, a restaurant (parrilla) and small shop. Hot showers and good WiFi.
Nice view on the mountains (if no clouds :-)) and centrally located for walks in the park.
Very helpful staff, but... not cheap (10.000 chilean pesos per adult, 5.000 for kids under 12).

January 22nd, 2016 by penguin-bingo.com

A painful $20,000 for two, but sheltered with beautiful views as others have noted! Close to the road, but traffic noise is pretty minimal. 6km down the road from the Lago Pehoe ferry.

January 7th, 2016 by kasbah.ch

The selling point of this place is its location in both vistas at the Cuernos del Paine and the proximity to various points of interest in the NP. However, in every other regard Camping Rio Serrano is better or much better. At Camping Pehoe I never got so much as a reply for three attempts to make a reservation (via the reservation form on their website http://campingpehoe.com, via email, via a detailed message on their voicemail during business hours), the wind shelters are impractical, fire pits rudimentary, shower blocks were without hot water ("the gas ran out" -- well, how about replacing the gas container?), etc. Besides being more expensive (CLP 10.000 vs. 7.000 pp) and not well maintained at all (sites with uncut grass, rubbish in fire pits, benches falling apart, etc.), in one block the showers were hot and good, there was paper and soap in the toilet.

December 16th, 2015 by Ugly Duck Tales

Nice place, lots of birds flying around (might be good for bird watching, saw a couple of swiss people with huge cameras tracking them down). Clean and hot showers. However, price is really high - it was now 10 000clp per person.

December 6th, 2015 by ruudaries

The2Dutch. Place looks Good, but too expensive 10.000 P P/P . So we left.

February 18th, 2015 by travelrunplay.de

One of the most beautiful campsites with great views! (Especially at the higher spots, number 30-36). Very clean bathrooms and hot showers. Worth the price of 9000pesos pp. Also some wifi near the reception.

February 11th, 2015 by Song of the Road

The price is a ridiculous 9000 pesos per person here, but they have decent wind block at many sites (we were in #44) and the views are insanely good at some sites. Slow wifi in the office. BBQ pits and potable water available at the sites. We saw a fox running through the campground, so don't leave food out and about. If the wind is not bad, there are lots of free places you can park around here for free, but most are totally exposed. This place is ideal for tent campers or people like us who the wind finally wins after 3 nights of boondocking.

January 30th, 2015 by YellowVanDays

Great views from this campsite. WiFi, clean toilets and hot water! 8000 pesos pp.

February 17th, 2013 by Life Remotely

With shelters and hot showers this was the logical option for us. We saw one other campground that had no shelters and would have been exposed to the fierce wind, making camping very uncomfortable. However, the cost at this place is a little bit crazy. Electricity available in reception.

January 1st, 2013 by globalfootprints.de

a bit expensive but good location, restaurant, nice pitches

January 3rd, 2011 by panamnotes.com

Amenities: 3 / cost: 5 / quality: 4. Recently remodeled and expensive. There are fire pits (with grills), picnic tables and wind shelters. But you’ve got to buy overpriced firewood from admin for your fire. Basically what you’re looking at here is an $18 hot shower with an outstanding view. Camp at the spots across the road for views that will make you forget about the price. Restaurant (parilla) on site.

CH$8,000 per person.
