Hello
So sorry but this place is closed.
They put wire in the entrance.
We have sleep in the other place to one hundred meters.

No longer allowed to camp on the grassy area behind the posts. Guard said we could still park the night, but on the side of the road. (We went to laguna mojanda instead - very peaceful and beautiful directly on the lake!)

the entry is now blocked with barbwire. the park employees told us that this spot is privately owned and the owner doesn't want people to camp there anymore.

Na frente da entrada do parque tem um campo grande que dá para estacionar e dormir, nos tivemos uma noite bem tarqbuila por aqui. O parque é grátis e não aceita animais. Lugar bonito e tranquilo, com caminhadas ao redor da lagoa.

Frikin' awesome. Beautiful views, quiet, free and safe. Lots of firewood, nice clean, flush toilets. Pretty hard to beat.

Nice quiet and flat grassy spot next to the park gate with beautiful views. A few cars pass in the day but it’s quiet at night. Highly recommended for a night or two while exploring the trail around the lake. In total it’s 13km, including 500 meters elevation gain and loss. Takes 4-5 hours. Leave early to avoid the afternoon rain storms.

As described, free quiet and nice view. The trail begins right before the banos. when you get to first Mirador you go left to short walk to museum with views of lake the whole way or go right to do lake perimeter hike: 14.5 km - 4-5 hours.

Nice and calm spot. When park closes there is no more traffic on the road. There are some fire pits and you can collect wood just below the spot.

Excellent wild camping spot. 50-60 meters from park main entrance. You can use the Restrooms in the park. Security guard at the parks gate 24h. Gravel/grassy spot behind the barb wire fence with white cement stakes. Flat with nice views. Very sweet spot. Free.

Perfect spot just in front of the park entrance. Guard told us we can stay overnight just behind those white poles. No problems at all. FREE. Quiet. Entrance in park is also free and between 8.00 am and 5.00 pm. Views? Not sure, all foggy ;(

By far the best option that me found. nice open space with a view of the valley. it is completely exposed to the road but that doesnt matter here. the only hidden spot we found was following the dirt road to the left of the park entrance and then take a right on the main road untill it get a bit curvy, about 5 minutes. it is an old road. only prob with that one is that you need either a big truck or max trax to get over the gutter.
