Perfect spot for an overnight. Clean, warm bathroom. We were the only vehicle. Road noise wasn’t too bad.

We thought this spot was more private/quiet than the transit centre. Decent, level spot that we had to ourselves for the night. Unfortunately the pizza place next to the lot was BLASTING music that we could hear even over the sound of rain and a fan. For the life of us we couldn't figure out why, I guess it was the place to be that night. Still a decent spot in the Forks!

Came here on our way to Death Valley, we wanted to visit the opera house because it’s raining and too cold outside.
The tours were cancelled !
The lady said it was too dangerous in this weather… 🤷🏻‍♀️ apparently people slipped… anyway

Tours are only twice a day at 9:00 am and 6:00pm.

DONATIONS 15$ for non guest

My husband and I filled up with water here on February 25th,2023. The woman who worked in the Visitor Center was very friendly and said it was absolutely no issue to fill up. She said she was unsure as to why this was crossed out on the map.

When you pull into the large vehicle parking there’s a concrete median and there’s multiple faucets inside that concrete structure with the bushes. All of them worked.

There is a pretty tight u turn at the top, would be tight for a big rig. We drive a 25’ school bus and had no issues!

very nice hot showers! own little room with place to stand to change/get dressed. hooks to hang stuff. $5 in quarters for 10 minutes, which is really longer than you expect. hot water within 30 seconds. Plus places to set your stuff in the shower. Plus you can do laundry if you need too!

Found ourselves back here again. It’s alright for a night right on the coast. Bit over priced but more wind protected than right up on the road. Also a lot less road noise. Paid $51 for dry site.
Little breakfast/lunch shack opens on the weekends. Good coffee and breakfast before you hit the road.

Exceptional camp site that exceeded our expectations. We stayed at the Forest Camp, which had a private covered kitchen with hot water, lights, long table and benches, sockets to charge phones, private loo, and private outdoor shower and bath (very nice!). Also had a plunge pool, outdoor braai and picnic table. We had a 4x4 with roof-top tent, and had stunning views over the valley. Ralph and Elspeth are campers themselves and they understand the importance of a level surface and matting on the sand, which stopped sand on flip flops and in the tent! Some nice hikes too. Well worth the R300 pppn for that luxury camping expertise.

We snuck in at night after arriving from the ferry at around 2am. Owner was fine with us just paying the following morning. Sites were a bit damp and no hot water. Quincho/cafe area is pleasant, the overall feeling of the place was a bit run down.

it is the best place to park but it is prohibited to park along the road, that's what we were told in the morning. if you don't wanna pay 30 soles, the road is open 24/7, just go after 6, no one at the entrance and after 10 am no one checks tickets in the trail. Parón is ran by the community that's why only 5s. the rest of the park is ran by private company and the charge 30 s pp.

ferry was booked out every time we looked the past two months but we kept contacting office and were able to get last min tickets 5 days beforehand so worth to keep sending emails/whatsapps as spots come up! met another traveller that was able to get a ticket two days before ferry. The was plenty of room for more vehicles on board our sailing, limiting factor was seats. bring snacks! 2 night ferry, boarded 6pm sat, arrived natales at 8pm monday

First of all this is not an “established campground” so needs redesignating as this is a car park for a hotel. Secondly DO NOT COME HERE! The guy has increased the price to USD $45 per night as of this week. Saw 2 other overlanders who paid for one night and then left! Tried to charge us USD $10 for electricity for 2 hours. You get pool access and free bikes, but be under no illusion that this is $45 per night for dry camping.

This is an antique engine, tractor and car show. Has a 4 day show November, January and February. There is a 40 acre flee market. Tractor pulls. Very interesting old living history village. 4 days of show and dry camping was about $120. Amazingly great people in the primitive campground/cow pasture. Their website is FloridaFlywheelers.org to find the show dates each year.

Nice hike of 4 KM is starting at the lodge. They asked no fee, the deal is to take a meal in their restaurant. Food was fine and really fair priced.

Please be careful with ticks 🪳!

Great place to stay. You can swim in the river and camp in some spots under shay trees.

Quit and peaceful!

Actually atm it's more a private house/garden, I could build up my tent in the shed, protected from wind and rain. They did not really sell food though, but got something to eat for a small and very fair extra charge. I could use kitchen and bathroom. Friendly owners, felt like a guest.

Would not sleep here without asking permission from the guys close to the gate. It’s private property and the people who work there drive by on the gravel/bumpy road quite a bit. Road is also not a dead end by the way it leads to a sort of house/factory thing. The people are really nice though so if you ask they’ll be fine with letting you camp probably.

Nice spot, room for a good handful of vehicles at the end of this road. It's VERY BUSY in the morning with locals who take their boats out.

We arrived to a calm relaxing ranch. Honk when you arrive. Sandy the owner let us in. Shower was hot. Wash 50 pesos. 300 pesos/day plus electricity. Awesome beach. Went down to beach at night and saw turtles going back into ocean. Really enjoyed pizza night on Sunday. Don't miss it! Enjoy 😊

Staying here the end of February for two nights, three days it was not so busy anymore, so you could easily arrive late in the night and still find a spot to park your car. We expected a crowded and loud place, but although there were about 20-30 vehicles everyone was very quiet and we had two very good nights. El Chaltén is a very windy town though, so the second day/night we even felt like being on a ship inside the car. Couldn’t open the doors, all sand will blow inside and people next to us took down their rooftop to go somewhere else, so be aware of that. Pit toilet was fine, better have everything together instead of all the bushes full of it (lots of people only use the bushes as a toilet..). Toilet and water tap (outside) at the visitor center were easy to use! We liked this place. One car got creative and because of the ‘no tent’ sign, they set up their tent in the back of the pick up. Haha
