Parque Nacional Torres del Paine - Glacier Grey parking | Informal Campsite

March 21st, 2023 by Babs&Ballie

Good place to camp before or after the Mirador Ferrier and Mirador Grey hikes. Both places are extremely windy which is loads of fun, but can also be a serious danger. Ferrier is even closed after noon because you'd simply be blown off the top. Wind was not so bad at the campsite, though!

Large parking lot at the start to the viewpoint on the lake and the Gray Glacier. You can park there at night if you have a converted vehicle. Many tourists during very quiet day at night. There is a small supermarket but it mainly sells cakes and souvenirs. There is also a restaurant. It's quite expensive 12990 pesos for a burger and fries. WiFi is charged at 8000 pesos per hour.

grand parking au démarrage vers la point de vue sur le lac et le glacier grey. vous pouvez y stationner la nuit si vous avez un véhicule aménagé. beaucoup de touristes en journée très calme la nuit. il y a un petit supermarché mais il vend essentiellement des gâteau et des souvenirs. il y a aussi un restaurant. c’est assez cher 12990 pesos pour un burger et des frites. la wifi est payante à 8000 pesos l’heure.

Stayed here for a night, we were the only van. was fine. Mini mart back open selling machine coffee, snacks and soft drinks. Toilets were good, and there is a socket on the wall just outside the toilet for charging devices, but you will have to stay with them.

Still possible to stay, cafeteria and minimarkt are open now. Some wind protection and a lot of space. The walk to the lookout is closed in the evening, the long hike Zapata is only allowed with a guide.

Overnight camping in a van is allowed only for one night. Toilets accesible all night, minimarket is still closed.

From the parking there's no nice view around, but it's a convenient spot to stay overnight (we did not). Toilets open all night. The "minimarket" is closed at the moment (covid time). From there you can go to the Lago Grey Mirador to see the glacier and its icebergs. There's also another hike to Ferrier Mirador.

Free, we stayed one night, perfect. At the toilet building is a tap. We asked the ranger and we could fill up our water tanks. Because we have filters, I forgot to ask if it is potable.

Still ok to camp here overnight. It's also the start of 2 good mini-treks, we did both in a day. Mirador Ferrier is 750m ascent, about 3km long, with great views of the mountains, lakes and glacier (it took about 3 hours all in all, 4hrs was advertised). The second is a flat, more popular walk along the beach to Lago Grey to see the lake, mountains, and mini ice bergs, about an hour.

Nothing spectecular as it is just a parking lot, but good place to get started early next day ;-)

Just a parking lot with no wind protection, we parked our Camper there and there was really really really crazy wind going on the whole night, we thought more than once that the Camper would tip over. So definitely not recommended a windy days.

Good parking for overnight stay. Nice cafeteria with 5min free internet.

Crazy windy cycle to get here. Cyclists be warned that all the mentions of camping refer to motorhome parking, it is prohibited to camp here. Also the hike to campamento pingo is with a guide only.

Nice clean toilets with soap. Tiny shop with very expensive crisps, biscuits, chocolate and drinks.

Had bread, steak, egg and chips in the restaurant for 9,500CHP

Free WiFi connects but not working.

Still allowed to stay overnight. Very busy during day, but quiet in the night. Not for tents!

We camped at grey lake one night. It was very windy even with the trees near the parking lot. Bathrooms are nice. No views of the lake but a great spot to stay if you are doing hikes or activities on that side of Torres Del Paine.

Still possible to overnight, but no lights in the toilets.

Nothing to add to the other comments, but: we saw lots of huge icebergs in the bay and we heard a loud calving of the glacier 14 km away! No WiFi signal.

We entered the park in the north east (entrance Sarmiento), walked to the Cuernos lookout, the condor lookout and we will stay here for the night to do the Grey Glaciar walking trail in the morning.

Not much shelter for the wind, but toilets open all night. There's a building site next to the parking so you might wake up from loud music and construction sounds.

Good place for a night. Toilets were clean.

March 2nd, 2017 by vwipfli

good place where you are allowed to stay overnight (24 hours toilet) and a good trail to see some icebergs :-)

Trail along this side of river leads to hotel. Nice place for a beer and wifi. Expensive but the view is worth it. [Password removed by moderator.]

Camping in the parking lot. Not the greatest view in the park but handy for the walk to the Mirador over the glacier. Very busy during the day. Quiet at night. Toilets but no other facilities. Free.

Not much to see but good wind cover. You can also camp in the nearby Hotel Grey parking lot and pick up their wifi signal.
