Check-Ins

Parking: 3500 pesos
if you want to stay overnight with your car, they charge you 6500 pesos pp but you don't pay the parking fee.
bathroom, shower and potable water included.
you can also wildcamp for the night and just leave your car for the hike.
the mountains here are great!

I really loved the spot.
Has a few fire pits.
Some noise from the highway but the sound of running water totally compensates for that.
Was very easy to find.
I would stay again.

There is bus/rv parking in the back and overflow parking in the front. After dinner I asked if I could stay and they said, because they own the property, I am welcome for 24 hours and someone would be on site all night. Super close to I-95, either a blessing for easy access or a curse for noise, you decide.

Make sure you don't park a bigger vehicle in the WinCo parking lot, as they will ask you to leave. At least the guard was nice about it. The WinCo is open 24h, but the bathroom closes at 8p, so plan accordingly to your homes profile and bathroom setup.

VA AO PICO! Uma das vistas mais lindas de toda vida!! Mas NÃO va com seu motorhome! Boa parte da estrada é de barro e pedra, sinceramente, não vale colocar o motorhome nessa condição de estrada!!! Seguimos a recomendação e fomos com O transfer ANDRÉ do Jeep até à tronqueira, onde subimos a pé da tronqueira até o Ferreira o (segunda opção de camping que fica a 3,7km da tronqueira) - subimos na madrugada até o pico da bandeira, 3,2km e vimos o nascer do sol mais lindos de nossas vidas! Vale a pena demais!!! Importantíssimo estar equipado com barraca e saco e roupas para frio!!! Temperatura é bem baixa, especialmente no inverno!

Colocamos foto da Estrada aqui pra ver a condição e fizemos um relato de tudo na nossa rede social ! Vê lá

We spent one night at this point. it's not really on the lake. there is little access to the lake because there are fields. and it looks swampy. with our 15 ton truck we did not attempt to approach for fear of getting buried. a little further there is a slightly elevated platform with a better view of the lake. quiet corner.

avons passé une nuit à ce point. ce n’est pas vraiment au bord du lac. il y a peu d’accès vers le lac car il y a des champs. et ça a l’air marécageux. avec notre camion de 15 tonnes nous n’avons pas tenté de nous approcher de peur de nous enterrer. un peu plus loin il y a une plate-forme un peu surélevée avec une meilleure vue sur le lac. coin tranquille.

Camp at the beach. Busy at weekends $10 night. Lots of ants, beach volcanic coarse sand but nice to cool off in. Jorge is the man.

sale of cow's cheese (between 58 and 65 bowls per kilo) and other farm products, such as blackberry vinegar, honey, blackberry jam (20 bowls) and peanut butter. everything is homemade and excellent. very friendly person and you can even see the cheese being made. at lunchtime it offers sandwiches and drinks. very clean and well maintained. we recommend.

vente de fromage de vache (entre 58 et 65 bols le kilo) et autre produits de la ferme, comme du vinaigre de mûre, du miel,de la confiture de mûre (. 20 bols) et du beurre de cacahouète . tout est fait maison et excellent. personne très sympathique et vous pouvez même voir la fabrication du fromage. le midi il propose des sandwiches et boissons. très propre et bien entretenu. nous recommandons.

As descripted. Quite night. The water tap is on a tree, central position, in a low position (50cm).

What a great place! Lots of spots beyond the main area and we didn’t even have to try to get level. Just stopped the van. All the other reviews are accurate. Interestingly enough my topo map doesn’t show the road around the lake.

Parked my van at the riverside spot and cooked up some fish over the fire. Quaint little campground, with pit toilets as the only amenity (one roll of toilet paper left ). But it was pretty private and quiet! Free with the Discover Pass.

We were here on a Sunday, so it closes early. We parked near Jimmy John’s as stated. We had a mostly quiet night, except for when the garbage truck for JJ’s came at 3:30am. No big deal. We were thankful for a safe place to stay the night on pavement.

As it is written in the description, a nice open field, a lot of space to park your car for the night !

This may be my favorite spot on iOverlander thus far. The amount of birds is magical, bull frogs, saw three gators, two snakes, and found a snake skin hanging out of a hole in a tree. A storm rolled through the night I was here and the lightning over the lake was incredible! If I wasn’t craving diamond hunting I’d stay awhile. 100% would stay here again. No outhouse.

It’s noted by previous individuals, the actual gravel pit is that the head of the road not 2 miles down the road. I did go down the road a bit further, and found a nice little road by a couple of trees where I parked for the night. Some highway noise, but it didn’t bother me.

Gorgeous views. Made it pretty easily in my Prius though I can understand how someone could get stuck if the road was any looser. Good ATT cell reception. The night sky is stunning. Very private location for only being a half mile or so from the main road. No amenities. Lots of hiking trails within a 20-30 minute drive

There are a few spots on the way to this spot and only 1 beyond it. Not far past the site the road is closed and not even enough room for a camp there because you would block the gate. It's a nice spot but personally have been in much better so I was disappointed based on the rave reviews.

lots of parking for cars, vans, RV, Campers and Truckers. Has a Denny's, hot showers and laundry ($3.00 each wash and dry) friendly staff

One of the best fruit and vegetable stores in whole Chile!
They have a huge selection of these and everything is really really fresh. You won’t see many tourists here but a lot of locals that buy their things here.

You can pay with debit card also.

Only open
Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday or Friday.

Nice campground, still lots of snow. Didn't hear any trains go by between about midnight and 8 am. No train whistles or horns heard at all.

good spot for overnight. road noise but not a lot of traffic.

Over nighted here, really quiet and peaceful. There are several others utilizing the location but it’s spread out enough you don’t notice. Nice picnic table with a shelter over it and trashcana. Very clean

good wifi, friendly staff, pricey food but good for a splurge.

Best shower I’ve had in weeks ❤️and even better it’s $3

Bathrooms are okay. Two cell phone bars and no one else here. I didn’t see signs that say no over night. Only no campfire signs

Great boondock spot! No amenities. Picked up some trash others left behind. T-Mobile had decent connection with booster.

Pet friendly hotel not far from major highways with a walled in parking area and friendly management

as described small parking lot, good for cars or campervans, no big rigs. quiet night. right next to residential area. Arrived late and left early

This pin is private property. We ended up stuck here a night as high tide kept us from driving onto the lot next to it, where we had arranged to camp. The land owners/managers came to talk to us - said it was not as issue for the one night, but they called the local we had arranged our camping with to ensure our story was real. Will mark as closed. See post about Rancho La Periquera Camping, who owns the lot beside this one.

A big, flat area with a lot of big rigs. Also several fireplace around. The road were muddy due to rain the day before and the day we left. But we had no problems going back.
