This place is awesome. I want to add that it's the same place as 'Granja Colonia'; that there's an on-site restaurant; that the hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm; and that there's a children's playground.

Fantastic! A must stop and stay, pristine bathrooms, fantastic overnight stop and the store has amazing cheese, jam, wine etc. Electricity and water available, tables and the best people ever. The museum is great too, how do you collect so many pencils and key rings! 5 stars for what you get, free but no showers.

Super nice place, except for the lack of showers. Museum is bizarre bit awesome. Super sympathic people and tasty cheeses and marmalade on sale.
Paying is voluntary

Report Check-In

Run by a super nice guy. Payment for camping is voluntary (we donated 200 pesos). Very quiet place to stay. The museum is also interesting and has incredible collections of not only pencils, but also key chains, ash trays, perfume bottles and many other items. Admission to the museum is free but a donation jar is available too (we donated 30 pesos).
