YPF - El Calafate | Informal Campsite

April 12th, 2024 by nyumbanitravels

Clean, friendly staff. Free water, pressure is not that high but still good. WiFi all over the terrain. Relatively quiet at night although many campers were there.

Good place for some nights, very modern and clean YPF. Shower for 5 min is 6.000 now- but as a couple you can share it. :)

Dormimos uma noite aos fundos do Posto YPF, ótimo lugar. Fornecem água e a lanchonete é uma ótima opção para fazer um lanche. Um ótimo lugar para quem quer conhecer o incrível Parque do Glacial Perito Moreno. A cidade de El Calafate também é encantadora.

This is a very nice gas station that allows overnight parking! We stayed at the gas station for 2 night without any issues or problems. The gas station itself is very clean and looks brand new. The bathrooms were always clean and well taken care of and they do have a little fast food store inside the gas station which offered coffee and burgers. The store is open till midnight. Staff is very nice. Awesome place to stay for free.

We stayed two nights, it was really cool! WiFi is free and really super fast. The toilets are clean, access to electricity inside the station. There were many of us both evenings in RV and van. Showers are way too expensive... Might as well stay dirty

Very busy gas station but a lot of space to park overnight behind the building. Staff is friendly and the toilets always clean.
Closes at 00:00
Showers 4000 pesos per person

We spent 3 nights here as it is the only allowed place in El Calafate. There are other vans and it is as any other Ypf in Argentina. Too far from the villagr to go walking.

October 16th, 2023 by nomadxplorers

We stayed here for 3 noghts. Very convenient. You can park in the city during the day (easy parking) and come here at night. The wifi works from the parking lot. Very clean toilets.
Free water with faucet.
Shower is 4000$ for 5 min! Ask the guys at the pump.

October 16th, 2023 by Overlandsite

Great place to stay. We even changed our oil here in the parking lot.
Shower is still 4000 for 5 minutes. Showers are clean and so are the toilets. Fast wifi that reaches the parking lot.
Don’t eat the burger here. It’s awful.

October 14th, 2023 by escoff55

Very nice place next to the gas station YPF.
A lot of place, water and even free wifi available on the parking lot !
A little bit noisy but ok for a free night!

Super place sur le parking derrière la station YPF.
Beaucoup de place, eau et même wifi disponible sur le parking !
Un peu bruyant mais ok pour une nuit gratuite!

The shower now is 4.000 ARS. They say the people used to thief the bath things them the new price is to prevent people from thieving.
Nice place to stay and sleep. The people are nice but the shower is very expensive.

Ótimo posto para pernoitar. Não tem muito barulho à noite. Estacionamos ao lado da locadora de carros "Hertz", em frente às câmeras, para não ficar muito no escuro. Somos duas mulheres viajando e achamos bem seguro o local. O banheiro é aquecido, a conveniência excelente e ainda ganhamos café e medialunas. Funcionários muito legais. Porém, passamos um pouco de frio.

April 18th, 2023 by natashaperera07

mucho lugar, había otros motorhome. la estación con servicio completo. con la llenada del tanque te regalan un café y una medialuna.

April 6th, 2023 by aliense.sobrenatural

we slept behind the gas station. very silent. convenience open until 00h. bathroom 24h. showers until 20h for 700 pesos per person. there is some promos for who fills up the tank.

Stayed 1 night out of necessity. The employees told us the power outlets are not working and there is no way to connect electricity. Hence we did not have heating. It was cold. Next morning we saw another camper van connected with electrical cord to the fenced area. Wish we would have known that.
It was a bit windy and noisy but okay.

March 21st, 2023 by ottenweinerts.blog

great place, ample parking behind the gas station, quiet during the night. There is an extra section for motorhomes with electricity poles behind a fence, but this was not open. Good restaurant, good and fast WiFi which even reaches the parking lot. Clean and hot showers.

March 15th, 2023 by xtgfamily

Small YPF service station. Accessible for large vehicles. Possibility to fill up with water, tap behind the station.

petite station service ypf. accessible pour les gros véhicules. possibilité de faire le plein d’eau, robinet derrière la station.

March 14th, 2023 by sarahhayes

good free place to spend one night with clean toilets and good wifi in shop sitting area. about 20 other campers parked the night we were there.

March 7th, 2023 by mariangela.ravazio

Great place to spend the night. Hot water for free, potable water is also available. Shower is expensive, but super clean (700 pesos for 5 minutes).

February 28th, 2023 by kiviacs

estação de serviços na entrada da cidade com excelente infraestrutura. banheiros limpos, café com aquecimento, ambiente acolhedor, estacionamento amplo e drivethru de sanduíches.

Pasamos 3 noches aquí, lejos del movimiento y ruido del centro de la ciudad. hay baño, agua, wifi y muchas motorhome en esta época.. muy recomendable si se busca evitar las multitudes.. noches tranquilas

February 6th, 2023 by simberwart

Perfect place here to stay in el calafate. Yes you need your car to go to the center but you have confort wifi and restaurant inside. the bathroom are VERY clean.

February 6th, 2023 by na_liliana

Good place for the night. Lots of RVs on site given high season

we couldn't find electricity hookups but filled water from faucet at diesel pump station

showers available from 8am to 8pm only

clean washrooms and wifi available at coffee shop

January 27th, 2023 by tortugando_

the shower increased a lot, it is now 700 pesos, the guy said that the reason is that someone stole the shower device in the man's bathroom.
apart from that, everything is good

January 25th, 2023 by elixmia

Extremely popular - absolutely everyone is here. You have to show up early to get a spot. You can’t park on the dirt outside or you’ll be asked to love. It was free so no complaints. The gas station toilets here are very clean. The showers are token operated. There’s also good cell signal. We stayed here for several nights. Felt very safe.

January 22nd, 2023 by waarisaimy

Clean toilets, free WiFi and electricity. Perfect for one night

January 1st, 2023 by brunosergiolima

Ótimo posto com energia e água. Passamos duas noites no local com muita comodidade.

December 8th, 2022 by semdestinosemparada

Estacionamento próprio para motorhome com ponto de água e energia, porém a energia não estava funcionando. Duchas quentes de 5 mim por 300 pesos por pessoa ( compra as fichas com os frentistas).

December 5th, 2022 by queroestrada

Ótimo local, água e pode ficar 2 dias , a loja de conveniência possui ótima estrutura.

Resolvemos passar a noite no posto YPF de El Calafate, depois de procurarmos vários campings e quase todos fechados. O posto oferece ducha quente por 300 pesos (banho de 5 minutos, suficiente), muito bom. A loja de conveniências é ótima e fecha a meia noite. O posto funciona 24h pra abastecer. O sinal de wi-fi é bom. Fornecem água quente pra chimarrão grátis. Recomendamos o local pra passar uma ou duas noites se necessário, bem tranquilo e pouco barulho.

Paramos pra comer e estava dando o jogo da Argentina contra o México ( 1 x 0). Uma galera assistindo aqui. Muito legal ver a vibração deles toda vez que o Messi toca na bola.

September 24th, 2022 by felipeluis.cunha

Ótima estrutura para motorhome com espaço apropriado, porém, os pontos de energia não funcionam, a água não está funcionando, Wi-Fi excelente. A ducha era 150 pesos argentinos, do nada começaram a cobrar 300 pesos e o tempo de banho continua o mesmo, 5 minutos. Não sei o que é esse cumulativo que informaram embaixo, não verifiquei, apos colocar a fica do banho a água cai automaticamente e você precisa correr para o banho e encerra na hora após os 5 minutos.

Máquina de lavar roupas não está funcionando também.

No mais, excelente lugar para descansar e trabalhar por aqui.

Fuel Post with exclusive area for motorhomes, with power point, water and wi-fi. Hot showers for $150 P.A., in heated bathrooms for 5 min, but cumulative. We even got some extra chips. very friendly staff.

Gas station with all facilities. There is a parking lot for motorhomes at the back of the station with a socket for electricity and water free of charge. Hot and clean bathrooms. The bath costs $150 Argentine pesos for 5 minutes, but it is cumulative. It has a full with good food. Good internet working through login, which must be renewed every 30 minutes. They just ask not to discard porta potti here.
