A good place to camp, we spent one night, it was quiet. Don Fausto is very friendly and attentive, there is a shared kitchen, swimming pool, bathrooms, showers, everything complete, highly recommended.
The price is $2.5 per person.

Très bon endroit à plat dans l’herbe au milieu des montagnes c’est magnifique nous sommes resté 3 nuits. 3$/adulte et 3$/pour nos 2 enfants. Toilette et douche (froide pour nous, le chauffe eau est tombé en panne) juste à côté. Le centre ville est accessible à pied en quelques minutes. Tuyau d’eau pour remplir le réservoir du vannes. L’hôte est très agréable.

Cannot recommend

te owners are super nice and the showers are one of the best we had in South America .. But the other guests (mostly backpackers and homeless people) are behaving like pigs .. they are shitting everywhere, puking in the shower and throwing trash everywhere .. like wtf? If you need a place for a night with a good shower, ok.. but to stay longer its nothing ..

Nice and quiet camping place outside of town (20min walk to the center) where we stayed 2 nights. Very nice and helpful owners! Price 3$/p.
Very basic toilets and shower (with hot water!).
Common kitchen included, but very dirty with leftovers and not washed dishes, probably because of the longtime tent-campers there. It was so dirty that we only used our gas cooker at our van…
Pool and Sauna out of service at the moment.
Nevertheless a very good place to stay in Baños!

It has seen better days, but overall fine for being one of the cheapest options in town. Lots of space to park, Fausto is a friendly guy and seemed to spend most of his time on upkeep while we were there - mowing the grass, cleaning the bathrooms, etc.
Bathrooms and kitchen not the best. There are some long-term tent campers at the moment who might be responsible for the grubby kitchen, they didn’t cause any issues though.
Location is great for reaching the town. We felt safe here.

Spacious, green camp site with pool, kitchen, hot showers and wifi. The gate is plenty big enough to enter with a big rig - see photo. We have a 2.5m wide van and had loads of room. 15 minute walk back into the town.

Hot water big parking space on a grassy filed. Entrance is a bit small with we have a pickup truck an just managed it. The place had it better times but for the price fair and quite.

basic.$3pp.very uneven temp shower, doesnt have a soapholder or a nail for a towel ?!c'mon!leaving baños anyway.not interested.

Place near city centre, place has some tents placed under a roof for backpackers mostly from south America, the area for the campervan is flat, but the surroundings are a bit outdated. Some old fish ponds, and an old empty pool.

OK for a night, but not the best place we stay.

We stayed for two nights and paid 3 USD p.P.p.N. Peaceful place with a lot of hostal guest. The bathroom and kitchen more or less clean. We told them and they start to clean immediately. Wife of the owner was unfriendly.

Fausto also let us use the big washing machine for FREE!!! And he hung up some lines in the pool area under the roof. Our stuff dried within 3 hours! It's super quiet here at night!

March 8th, 2022 by IntoTheUnknown

Now 4$ per person. With an extension cord you can plug your motor home in. Pools and sauna are only filled with water and usable on Sundays. Quiet at night.

Big Rig MAN 7.7m long, 2.4 metres wide, 3.5 m high.
No height restriction, very tight squeeze entrance. Big flat parking area inside with power and ok most of the time WiFi.
Easy five or so minutes walk to town centre with basic super market.
Good place to stay!

DO NOT DRINK THE TAP WATER!! Fausto stated the water was potable yet it gave me severe indigestion.

January 21st, 2020 by world.nopebone.com

Good place to stay for only $2.50 pppn. No water in the pool, no sauna but a hot shower with pressure, that’s all we need.

January 3rd, 2020 by andreacampog

Lugar ideal para acampar (2.50Usd pp), ofrece habitación (10usd), cerca del centro, cómodo y amplio. Cocina compartida, acceso en todo horario (no cierran la puerta), Wifi.

We stayed here trapped for 15 days when the general strike in Ecuador. Really the best place to stay.

2.5$ pp for camping, extremely friendly owners, amazing super hot showers and a big nice grass field.

The only disadvantage is the quite dirty and poorly equipped kitchen, we used our own stuff for cooking with their gas.

October 1st, 2019 by welt-erleben.ch

During the time we were there, the three covered pools (one of them has warm water) are open on Sundays only. Nice and quiet place.

September 29th, 2019 by jasperpauls98

Fausto is a nice guy and the place has everything you need. The kitchen area could be cleaner. Overall it was a nice and quite stay with good connection to all the touristic places . 2.5$ pp.

August 25th, 2019 by abenteuer-fertig-los.de

Nice place but facilities DIDN’T FEEL TOO COZY. Shower nice and hot, but could be a little cleaner. Location, site itself and owner all PERFECTLY FINE. Good value for money. USD 2,5 pppn. You can park in reach of WiFi on lawn.

The best camping we found in Ecuador. Fausto is super nice, it s cheap, all amenities, quiet and great location!!!

May 29th, 2019 by christian.roth85

Great place to stay a couple of days and you can see the Vulcano. Our campervan is 8 meters long and 3,3 meters high and it fits. There is big grassy fild to park. There are some hiking options directly from the campsite, Fausto and his wife are very friendly, you have pools, hot shower, close a minimarket and you can get to the center of banos for 1 dollar by taxi or walk there. Price 2.5 dollar pp

One night here to use the hot showers, quiet place, not so nice but its okey

April 30th, 2019 by vivendomundoafora

Buena ducha caliente

February 17th, 2019 by tobi1011

really nice place! idk why others paid 5pp, we still paid 2.5pp. Wifi is pretty reliable, showers are great and clean! 15-20min walk the town center. Pools are super nice and clean. The lady is very friendly - absolutely recommended!!

February 1st, 2019 by alana.m.hughes

Great place to stay, the family is very nice. The pool and steam room were not operational when we were there, but strong Wi-Fi, full kitchen and endless hot showers. For $2.50 pp/pn I can't complain.

January 7th, 2019 by Pti-Ket

Open, on janvier 2019, price is 5 $ pp, we were there with a small van ...

January 4th, 2019 by marialine_1

Perfect place to stay a little bit outside of Baños. Huge property, really relax. The owners are nice. The only thing is that the kitchen would need some love (no fridge, old stuff). Otherwise, amazing spot!

We've been here for six nights; this place had been pretty great. We have had the whole lower grass field to ourselves. The gas-heated showers are bloody hot. You just have to wait a few seconds for it to heat up. The owners are nice; we weren't sure about the woman at first because she is very strict about getting the camping fee every day, but she's actually very nice. She even let everyone use the sauna and steam room for free on Sunday (we're not really sure why, but everyone enjoyed it.) Wifi is pretty reliable. $2.5 a person is amazing value. For that, you can even forgive the mess in kitchen (from backpackers; their forte is the arts, not cleaning). But owners clean everything every morning. The gate coming in is tight on the sides, but we got in our class B RV, and a truck with a trailer managed just fine. Just have to wiggle a bit.

A nice basic campground. Big (clean) grass fields, play ground, big kitchen, pools, trail to viewpoint, hippy vibes. Good WiFi, hot showers and only the weekend they fill the pools. A lot of place to park your car. And big inside places to pitch your tent. Very cheap, 2,50 p.p. The gate is wide, but around 3,5 meters high.

May 20th, 2018 by pascal_weerts

Still true what riislemmer wrote. Big area for camping, super nice owner and still 2,50 USD/Person for putting your tent. They also have rooms, but don't know how much they charge for it. Two of three swimming pools were filled with water. We saw some dogs, but not sure if they belong to someone at the campground. They have also laundry places to wash your cloths by hand. So, very good place to camp, especially for low budget travelers.

No pets allowed in hostel and camp area so we didn't stay.

April 15th, 2018 by zobod

Excepted the dog after persuasion. Hippy vibe, nice area. Woken by chickens. Far from town. Swimming pools were empty. Showers weren’t hot or warm. Kitchen.

January 11th, 2018 by riislemmer

A cheap camping site/hostel a bit
out of town. 2.5 usd to camp.

Nice owners and most travellers are backpacker's from South America. WiFi, swimming pool, cooking area, a place to leave your luggage and warm showers.
