Check-Ins

Great camping with good infrastructure, but a little far from the city and they charge 45 reais per person.

Ótimo camping com boa infraestrutura, porém um pouco longe da cidade e cobram 45 reais por pessoa.

Limpo, seguro e tranquilo para passar a noite. Tem ponto de luz , água e descarte. Falta banheiro mas, como bons viajantes, damos nosso jeitinho.

Lovely waterfall in a park that you have to pay 500pesos pp to see. Pretty minimal water right now but has a path circuit you walk along. Ending up at the bathrooms, swingset, picnic tables, and small kiosco. Not sure if it is worth it, but a nice place to bring mates 🧉 and relax

We stay here at Publix from 10pm. Leave 8am in the morning. Really quite please.

Fomos super bem recebidos! Ficamos no estacionamento do restaurante, que tem um visual lindo da barra do rio. Oferecem água, energia, banheiro (ducha fria), wifi. Funcionários muito simpáticos e prestativos. Voltaríamos com certeza!!
Preço cobrado em Fev/2023: 50,00 por veículo/dia.

We felt very welcome since our arrival! We stayed in the parking lot of the restaurant, which has a beautiful view of the river. They offer water, energy, bathroom (cold shower), wifi. Very friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely come back!!
Price on Feb/2023: 50.00 per vehicle/day.

Here you can fill up your build-in Auto Gas Tanks or swap your Propane Tanks. Very good and friendly service.

very nice place, stayed here many times. again all good.

Otimo lugar para motorhome! Vista espetacular
8000 pesos duas pessoas
Restaurante com comida regular e cara

Big random furniture /appliance / tool store with the ability to refill propane tanks! Enjoy

Was 1350 pesos to refill a 3kg tank.

It’s a beautiful camping area, maybe the best we have seen in Guatemala, but for us not more than a stopover on our way to Tikal.
Still 50q/p and showers.
Good cellservice only small portion of dirtroad to get here from the highway. Perfect for any size of vehicle.

Stayed one night, because we couldn’t make it any further. But kind of liked this place. It was 25q/p and you get showers, a pool and a beautiful backyard with a hidden jungle trek and waterfall. Pretty great offer as we paid way more for way less already in Guatemala ;)

Jumped into the pool, because it was fun, but liked the waterfall more;) Area in general around here is beautiful, especially the Biotopo de Quetzal next door.

Ate at the restaurant also really good price/value.

This place is amazing! We came to know the hot spring and spend a night, but we stayed here about 5 nights - we always came back after the trekkings to bath in the hot spring, and sleep here! Dona Inês is a lovely person, and sells some products in her house. The thermal is rustic, but with super hot and crystal clear water. The view of volcanoes makes everything even more special. Sleeping here you can still enjoy the pool at night, luckily, alone! We paid 15 Bolivians per person per night - Entel's sign is weak, but Starlink works here.

Esse lugar é incrível! Viemos para conhecer as termas e passar uma noite, porém ficamos aqui cerca de 5 noites - sempre voltamos após os passeios para tomar banho nas termas, e dormir por aqui! Dona Inês é uma pessoa querida, e vende alguns produtos na casa dela. A terma é rústica, porém com a água super quente e cristalina. A vista para os vulcões torna tudo ainda mais especial. Dormindo aqui você ainda poderá curtir a piscina à noite, por sorte, sozinho! Pagamos 15 bolivianos por pessoa por noite - sinal da entel é fraco, mas o Starlink funciona aqui.

As described, we came from the East, so had to go past it and do a U-turn to come back to it. The gravel is deep, as noted.

Nice hotel in Puelches. I've paid 5000 pesos for a private room (one matrimonial bed and one sigle bed), with TV, wifi, toilets and shower. The place was clean and the owner friendly. Would recommand it !

We stayed for 10 days. The water spout mentioned in other comments was definitely frozen and buried under snow. Couldn't even find where it was. However James creek is less than 10 minutes away and we got water from there as it's not completely frozen. The camping area isn't huge, just 4 spots for vehicles, but very pretty.

Really friendly, camped 10 bz for 2 persons. Good showers and Toilets . WiFi available. The cave tubing was 100 usd but the water level for us was a bit low . Camping fee covers access to Herman's Cave and the blue hole

Drove through around 1100 today (Saturday) and no one was here- no sign of a checkpoint here or at the prior 2 spots listed nearby.

Passed through today. Charged $395 for our truck camper.

Passed through today. $195 for a truck camper.

This has the be the cleanest campground I have ever been in. Despite its size it was quite. Nice people and beautiful. Stayed here two nights. Took a drive into the Ajo Mountains on the loop road. Worth it.
Clean bathrooms and shower. Great cell service.

Buen lugar para armar carpa frente a río Uruguay. Baños/ duchas habilitadas en camping. Poca gente, incluso un sábado por la noche. (durante el día muchas familias)

Good place to set up a tent in front of the Uruguay River. Bathrooms / showers enabled in camping. Few people, even on a Saturday night. (during the day many families)

Great pass but has frequent blockages from fallen trees. Really worth it.

200 pppn for camping. Bed in dorm 300. Jammed together with other campers half a meter apart. Overall the facilities are nice to relax in. Loud sex from 2-3 am, other campers complained during the night. The staff said that their hands were tied. No discount offered. Even without our one off bad experience it is too expensive for what is offered in my opinion and I would not camp here again.

Description is like the previous posts. We slept 1 night with some trucks next to us without any problems. It’s still open and plenty of space!

Nice Hospedaje with lots of flowers run by a lady. Clean rooms, but no heating. Plenty of blankets are provided though. There is a small courtyard where I parked my Motorcycle but i didn't bother to ask if it is looked. This is a safe area. Showers are hot and the WiFi is fast but only in the common room.

Great owners. As mentioned previously they do have a large hose, with some adapters and them turning down the valve we where able to make it work to fill our camper. Plenty of room for large rigs to turn around.

Weekends is market time. Nice atmosphere underneath banyan trees, with lots of food stalls and smal shops. Picnic place, restaurant and wine tasting.

Market place with lots of restaurants, wine tasting from different wineries and picnic garden.

We were planning on staying here for the night but we were told by a few people that police goes around and hands out tickets now. We moved to a camping site since it was Fiesta Nacional del Lúpulo and the town was packed.

Rancho San Dionisio isn’t just a great camping spot . . . It’s a destination. A lovely sanctuary in the mountains, alongside the river, at “the end of the road” in authentic ranching country. The hosts have rescued a previously rundown and neglected ranch, the result of a fire years ago. Under their care and hard work it is now flourishing with newly planted banana, mango, avocado and even a few papaya trees. They have also nurtured an impressive huge veggie and herb garden which is open for picking by guests.
Facilities are as described by others, with future upgrades (showers) planned.
However, the best reason for coming to Dionisio is for the incredible hospitality. Clarence, Isabel and their three lovely, quirky dogs will make you feel totally welcomed. They go out of their way to facilitate a great stay. They are very knowledgable about the many great hikes in the area and can direct you to ones that will suit your energy and experience level. (We hiked to a lovely swimming hole and had lunch in the shade of trees after our plunge, and the next day we explored down the river bed)
You will be spoiled with fresh coffee on the stove each morning and a campfire each night. And if you are interested in the local culture, Isabel can arrange a visit to one or more of the local ranches each of which has a specialty to offer. Examples include traditional candy making, homemade jams, honey and other artisan crafts.
Rancho San Dionisio is a real gem. Well worth the drive!
