Rancho Elquino | Established Campground

May 31st, 2023 by roaming_dutchies

This camping is more suitable for tents than vehicles. There’s space for 2-3 vehicles but when parked, blocking the way out. Also no flat spots. Driveway quite narrow and lots of low trees, not the most suitable for big rigs.

Not so quiet, lot of barking dogs and people from the village doing sports on the tennis field. They played loud intense music until 10PM which we didn’t find appropriate

No hot water for doing dishes, only in the shower but it lasted 2minutes then it got cold. Facilities not so clean, there were dirty dishes with mold growing on it, disgusting.
Kind owner.

Best place in Vicuña with all the aforementioned amenities:) Superfriendly owners and lot of cockatoos but unfortunately also many barking dogs in the night...

Super nice camping, cleanest bathrooms I have seen in Chile until now, clean kitchen with stove, oven and fridge, big clean pool and big quincho with tv and stuff to hang out. Dog friendly, although they told us to be careful with the other dogs living there.
Also the friendliest staff.

CLP 8000 per person per night now, including electricity. And I don't think their climbing wall was mentioned yet. Or the fact that the oven in their comedor works, in case you're craving lasagna or pizza.

7000 ps for one person with tent. I've got extra hammock in the best shade at the spot.

Wonderful campsite, one of the best we had in Chile. We stayed here a week, so we asked for 6500p/person (it’s normally 7000p/p). Lovely swimming pool, kitchen with gas and tables. Toilets and showers pretty clean. The owners are very nice and helpful. Wifi is good only at the reception. 5/10min walk to the center. At night it’s calm, even if there are some stray dogs that keep barking in the town.

Construction in the campground so couldn’t drive to a parking area in our van. No one around. Looked deserted and messy. Did not stay. Found a nice side street near the plaza. See “Street Parking” posting.

best camping place we have found in vicuña and for the best price (for campings with swimming pool). quiet and pretty.

Nice campsite indeed. And they were still working to improve it, with more shelters and such. WiFi worked as far away as the kitchen and closer to the reception. Rancho1, pw 1010201010. If showers are not hot, feel free to light the heater, outside the building in the grey metal box, the friendly owner explained me.
Safe, quiet place close to Vicuña centre. With nice swimming pool and a who-would-ever-need-tennis court! :D

Nice campground with a pool. Very close to the center.

Main description is good. Big rigs may find it difficult to reach the main camping area without demolishing the trees. We parked in the car park which also had an electrical plug in. $15,000 for 2 person in caravan.

We were there for 12 days. A family-guided camping where we felt very welcome and we liked it very much! The place is opened for 24 hours. Price: 7'000 pesos chilenos per person.

Small campground with clean toilets and showers. Places with shelter, table and chairs, common kitchen, pool and tennis. Tent friendly - 2 places, where you can park your camper beside the place. For big rigs there‘s a parking field.
We paid 15‘000CLP for 2 persons and a camper (at the entrance the price is 7000CLP pp).
Good place to visit Vicuña.

We stayed 2 nights here - nice place to base yourself in Vicuña. The wifi worked near the reception for us. There was a little communal kitchen and also sinks for washing dishes/laundry. Tennis court and pool on site. There is space for quite a few tents each with a little sun shade and table & chairs, and space for a couple of motorhomes in the parking lot and nearer to the tent area too. Nice owners. Showers cold for us, but we didn't mind or ask why as it was hot anyway. We paid 14000 for 2 people, car and tent.

Stayed for 8 days on this campsite mostly alone. Excellent shower and fast internet. The facilities were cleaned regularly. A lot of dog barking and howling during nighttime. So we had a pleasant stay. Paid CLP $ 13000 a night for two persons and car rooftop tent.

Rancho sounds big, but the place is very small. There is only a 15x15m parking areal where you can squize in your camper. But there stayed also 3 passenger cars. For us with our 6,5m Truckcamper was not enough space, very disappointing :-( , i wouldn't
call it campground.

Excellent spot very well looked after and very quiet even so close to town. Fast wifi and plenty of area to relax, even the pool was full and fairly clean. Would be excellent for tent camping and the cabins looked nicely appointed too.

13000 Peso/ Night for 2 Person and Big Rig.
