Check-Ins

Parking derrière le magasin protège du bruit de la circulation.
Attention aux grands véhicules, nous avons accroché notre attelage (voiture tractée) à l’entrée gauche devant le restaurant : grand dévers pour accéder au parking, prêter l’accès par la route de derrière.
Pas de chance pour nous ce soir là nettoyage au jet sous pression avec générateur des trottoirs à l’arrière du restaurant de 21-22h !
Beaucoup de mouvements (passage de véhicules) la nuit. Nuit avons été sollicités par un client du motel derrière le restaurant qui nous a demandé de quoi manger pour sa femme. Il était 20:45 ???
Passage d’une voiture de police le matin. RAS
déçus par cette nouvelle expérience à Cracker Barrel on pensait être plus tranquil les que sur le pk Walmart voisin.

The best camping around. Dudu's Camping is prepared to receive motorhomes, vans, cars with a roof tent, and tents. It has a secure and large grass area to rest near the sea. In the camping, there are also three comfortable bedrooms to rent in case you need them (double or twin beds to accommodate 2/3 pax each), showers with hot water, a laundry room (with a laundry machine), a fully equipped kitchen, and a hall with a pool table.
It provides wifi connection, running water, and electricity (also for motorhomes).
Near there you will find two supermarkets, and different stores to buy everything you might need. Dudu and Andreza, the owners, are really friendly and helpful, and the best thing is that they live there so they can solve any problem with your stay.

5000 p per person, cold water, picnic area, toilets, not so quiet.

Nous nous sommes arrêter pour la nuit, ils nous demandaient 35$ par vr ( nous étions 2 familles), pas possible de négocier. Nous ne sommes pas resté, nous sommes allé au spot " playa El Esteron" qui était superbe et gratuit !!!

We stopped for the night, they asked us $35 per RV (we were 2 families), not possible to negotiate. We didn't stay, we went to the "El. Pelicanos" spot which was superb and free!!!

We arrived at 9:15 am and pay 90000 p for 2 persons. It is fantasic, but no shower after the visit. At 2pm More and more people are comming

the car park next to the el calafate sign is authorized for parking motorhomes and caravans only during the day. overnight parking is prohibited. there are two signs at the entrance which authorize parking for motorhomes and caravans but do not specify that it is only during the day. we had a quiet night there, but the second night the police asked us to leave and park at the bus terminal.

le parking à côté du panneau el calafate est autorisé pour le stationnement de camping car et caravane seulement de jour. la nuit le stationnement est interdit. il y a deux panneaux à l’entrée qui autorise le stationnement pour camping car et caravane mais ne précise pas que c’est seulement de jour. nous avons passé une nuit tranquille là, mais la seconde nuit la police nous a demandé de partir et de stationner au terminal des bus.

Quiet. Safe. Full bars Verizon. Plenty spaces to park. No parking signs

Great BLM location, 25 miles from the Petrified Forest. 14 day dispersed camping. It's on a good quality dirt road that is not busy after dark; the only traffic is an occasional rancher or trucker. Can be accessed by all vehicles, 4wd or high clearance is not required. Close to town for supplies. The cell service with Verizon was very high speed.

Stayed one night. Road traffic was pretty constant but slowed down as it got later. Good bar in walking distance called The Casual Pint. There are signs saying 1-hour parking between 8am and 4pm, so just make sure you’re gone before then.

Large number of crammed in places. Thankfully not that busy but if it is you’ll be very enclosed.

Our pitch was dictated to us, attempts to subvert this were spotted and declined.

No toilet paper or soap in the bathrooms

No Wi-Fi!! They have plenty just not for campers

€3100 per person!!!

If you enjoy being treated as a useful lubricant for the gears of capitalism this place is for you!

Damn I wish we’d arranged something else before we arrived knackered.

Truly a beautiful spot nested in beautiful mountain scenery. Big juniper trees. No verizon service and there was a winter storm coming. With the wind starting and no way to get accurate weather info, I choked but otherwise I could've seen myself staying there for a few days. BLM land and there is a sign telling you how to be respectful when camping there so definitely a legit camping spot!

Fantastic spot and really nice beach. We have a 4x4 so we were able to park away from the parking lot and near one of the secluded palapas (with outlet and outdoor shower). Super chill. 250 pesos/night with power.
WiFi didn’t appear to be working

Quait place, near village in the mount. Not so windy, not noisy in night time. Maroc Telecom working properly.

Quiet night with some highway noise, multiple trailer spots in the back. Only one other small RV was there.

Standard Cracker Barrel camp experience. Next to a highway with some traffic noise at night. But as always, free and no one bothered us.

stay one night in this beautifull jungle. good wifi, bathroom oké and very friendly people. we filled up our watertank ( should be drinking water) as well. 50 q pp.

Can be a nice site but is not being taken care. Electricity and water at most sites. Toilets very dirty. Last cleaning at least some days ago. Showers not working so no where Hot water. Paid 2000 ARS for 2p plus motorhome.

Free dump station with rinse water. No potable water on-site. Well maintained.

Good size lot. Several other overnighters. A bit noisier than some CBs due to the highway having an overpass directly across from the parking lot which amplifies traffic noise.

Spigot, free water, you need a 25 feet hose, it's located on you left when you enter the parking near the big fish with all the plastic bottles.
Downside, there's very little pressure and you'll need to be patient it'll taje up to an hour to fill up your rig

Camping in designated spaces only, not here. Road closed to motorized vehicles (e-bikes).

Great campground with clean pit toilets, grills and covered areas! Only spent the night during a winter storm but it was easy to get to and convenient.

small pullout platform on the side of the road. Not the best of your trip, but the ground is level, and firm (rare enough in the last kms!). in plain view, but nobody uses the road from 6pm to 9am. the view is nice, if nothing compared to stunning glaciar views before. direct access to river but I would not try to drink it without a lifestraw or similar. we have a small camper (see pics) but I guess anything small enough to go through the last bridge can fit here. convenient if you have a tour on the next day, or wait for good weather to head back to Rio Puerto tranquilo.

note: the tourboat crew told us it is also OK to stay at the parking at the end of the road, but it is definitely less sexy than here. weak movistar on the parking though

Great Campground. 25 a night (7.99 registration fee), multiple toilets and showers. They sell wood on the property. 711 is up the road a half mile for any convenience store needs. You can walk to the beach from the campground or enjoy the Monarch Grove. Decently spaced campsites. I have stayed here multiple times and it's my favorite in the area. Pismo Preserve isn't too far of a drive either if you are looking for hiking/biking trails.

This is the place where you can buy printed tickets off the vending Machine. They are 250 pesos plus fee. If you cannot find at boletosfridakahlo@org. You can come here and buy them.

15,000 per night (in 1 month increase of 5000f cfa) not very frequentable, it looks more like a brothel than a camp, no wifi, for showers only pool shower available, wooded park, but for campers the places are in full sun, categorical refusal to take water (for 15,000 we were refused 10l of water)
Only the character is nice

Amazing lemon meringue pie !! Don't hesitate to stop here and try it. And the cosy terrace has a beautiful view to the Rio Baker. We paid 5'800$CL for two nice slides, including 10% tips.

Stay 2 nights, nice place, quiet. Close to the casino. 75 sites, one price: 56$ with services. Check-in at del Sol Marketplace. Snow during the first night!

super spot, tranquille. à deux pas du centre. on y a passé 2 nuits.

1 March 2023: Argentina to Chile

Arrived at the Argentinian border post at about 13:20. Exiting Argentina took not even five minutes.

Arrived at the Chilean border post at about 13:35. Including the inspection we were there for around half an hour, mostly waiting in the queue as we were behind a passenger bus. We declared our vegetables, but they didn’t take them. Not sure if coming from Tierra del Fuego as opposed to mainland Argentina makes a difference here.
