Check-Ins

Teeny parking lot by a swamp trail at the end of a small gravel road. Half the parking lot was unparkable for something other than an ATV due to muddy terrain.

Really cool spot though, different than anywhere we have overlanded! Those cypress moss branches make for quite the view. At night, a few people came down the road but turned around once seeing us, or sat idling. Not the best feeling on a Saturday night, but hey, I think a lot of people just enjoy joy rides, or their privacy. We went kayaking off the designated kayak launch, then biked through the trail half way around the lake and turned back. A lot of alligators to see, even a momma and babies which we were cautioned to stay away from. Definitely recommend. Got data here.

NOTE: the mosquitos are brutally bad, as can be expected

We drove just past this site to the dead end where there’s an area to launch a kayak at high tide and explore the mangrove channels. Secluded, had 3G bars, lots of crab activity, had to drive thru some water/marshy crossings after a small rain to get here, could see it getting impassable after big rains.

We stayed here two nights for 50.000 per night for two persons in total. During the day and evening there was loud music. And during the night lots of dogs and roosters making noise. Not a place to expect a quiet night;) But during the day you can relax by the pool and use there WiFi.

Enjoy!

This place is definitly day use only! Camping is only permitted in the nearby campground

The access is a bit rough, takes about. half an hour from Ruta 40. If it is windy better select a site to the right. Also better for larger vehicles.

Very nice camping spot! Couple of other campers, but there is a lot of space. Very quiet and a beautiful sunrise in the morning. Really recommended spot!

We did saw the little sign saying no overnight parking, but the motorhome parked behind was bigger (!). We took a risk and parked there after sunset, far away from the store on the gardening side. We are in a campervan and didn't get bothered by anyone. One night only, move in the morning.

Nice campsite, friendly owners, just starting up since couple of weeks. We had a nice time here

Still a good place. Clean and quiet. Hot shower.
They only asked for a donation, we paid 350 rupees for 4 persons.

Price - R370 for one person for one night
How to Book - Just arrive at the office or phone 041 007 0978
Unique things - Lots of sites, fishing, along the Sundays river
Facilities - long drop, a tap and bin
Better sites - get the ones which are behind hedges to shield from the wind at night
Access - From main road, drive to campsite is an okayish road (6.6/10)
Internet - 4G with Telkom and Vodacom

Restaurant limited, no dinner/breakfast or vegetarian options. Potable water but we were not allowed to fill-up. Very quiet at night, no other vehicles and little traffic.

Great little hostel with enough room for 2 big motos or plenty of bicycles inside, and many more in an outdoor semi-gated parking area. Safe neighborhood and a very friendly host. Unmarked from the outside but look for a red building with a white door and give it a knock.

Small kitchen, 4 bed dorm (2500/bed), wifi, shared bath. There are 1 or 2 private rooms available as well.

We stayed 2 nights in this little campground at the entrance of the village. Wind protected area with facilities (hot shower, toilets, electricity and fireplaces).

The owner was super friendly. There is no reception and he comes few times a day to take care of the place and ask you to pay. You can even go at his house to ask to open the bathrooms if its close when you arrive. It's the house with black fences close to the city park at the corner of Las Calandrias and El Chacay streets.

We paid 1500 pesos per night for 2 people and a car (500 pp and 500 for the car).

We got our Health Certificate for our dog here. Went here without an appointment on a Saturday. We had to wait some time as a few people were there before us.
All in all good and quick service.
They also have good quality (but expensive) dog food.
Went here on 25 Feb 2023

It does not offer Veterinary services anymore. They recommended us to go to Veterinaria Fabbro just down the road.
I put an entry for that in iOverlander.

Great free Municipal Camping. Spent all of our nights in Ushuaia here. Two chemical toilets that were cleaned at least once during our week long stay.
You can park right next to the river.
We really liked it here and did not see a reason to move to a different campground or wildcamp.

Would absolutely recommend this Municipal Camping.

The Bonita Springs campground was full, so I camped here. There's a stream for water. The spots are so beautiful with trees. It started snowing while I was there in late February.

A very nice and cheap hostel. Washing machine available, very warm, nice clean hot shower, good kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, parking behind a wooden fence. Very popular among motorcyclists, 4500 per night for a bed in Feb '23.

Couple, friendly, who welcome you as if you were at home. Space for tents and RV with black and gray water runoff. There is a common space for a stove and barbecue and a bathroom. 2,000 ARS per person.
Casal, simpático, que o recebe como se estivesse em casa. Espaço para tendas e trailers com escoamento de água negra e cinza. Existe um espaço comum para fogão e churrasqueira e uma casa de banho. 2.000 ARS por pessoa.

Place was great, as described. You can turn the water on and off, so you can fill up multiple containers without wasting water.

I couldn’t find a water fill-up station here. Asked the gas station clerk if they have a hose or water station out back? and she acted like she had never heard of a hose before.

FECHADO DEFINITIVAMENTE!!Permanently closed!!!

We slept in our van here overnight, no problems! Fine for a night. We parked in the spaces available outside the museum. The museum is currently under construction, but we parked on the far end away from the entrance just in case of visitors. There is street parking throughout the little town that can suit big rigs. It was a very quiet night. Many foxes and some wind protection from the buildings.

Nice beach access. Chelo is really sweet and he's working to make his place a nice hostel. He takes great pride in his work. He's built everything there on his own. He has a restaurant, though you wouldn't know it unless you asked. His food is mostly seafood, whatever was caught that day and chicken. We tried the food and it is delicious and reasonably priced! We camped out for the night and woke up to beautiful ocean views. We came on a Saturday and there was a lot of foot traffic at night and off in the distance you could hear the bass of some really loud music, but it was far enough away that if you wore ear plugs it wasn't a problem. Cold water showers and it's refreshing after being hot all day long, but you need to ask Chelo or one of his workers to turn the water on for you. The days are hot, but there are palapas and ample shade from surrounding trees, and the night cooled down enough that we used our sleeping bags. Cell phone reception is good if you need it, and there are two friendly dogs that live onsite who love to sleep and occasionally want you to pet them.
Chelo speaks Spanish and English.

This entire area of the beach is a big camp area, Chelo charges $5/per night not per person per night to camp, I don't know about all the others.

Changed our Argentine 10kg Gas bottle on a Saturday

With so many fantastic places to eat in BA it’s hard to recommend one but this place is a gem. I first ate here 8 years ago and was thrilled to find it still going.

Freddy, now in conjunction with his son Gabriel, have been perfecting the art of the Parrilla for more than 20 years. They know what they’re doing!

It’s street food at its best. They’ve expanded the space a bit but on a good night it still spills out onto the street. Come here only for a plate of meat, a dirt cheap giant glass of wine and first class street food vibes.

Disfruta!

Truly wonderful spot to spend a night of two. We were charged 35 pesos entry fee and 35 pesos to camp… I think we paid less because we did not take a palapa. Great hiking in the hills. Busy but not too noisy on a Saturday night… would probably have the place to yourself through the week. Lots of goats. The local kids herding goats said they would not advise swimming. Could be an interesting place to SUP though.

wild camping next to the chilliwack river, fire spots, beside the road

2 secluded wildcamp spots. Only accessible by 4x4. Under the trees on the beachfront.
Sand underground, no facilities.

Local bastante movimentado. Bom wifi, ducha gratuita basta falar com um atendente e lhe fornecem uma ficha. Atendimento simpático.
