Ischigualasto Parking Lot | Informal Campsite

There is a sign saying overnighting prohibited. 🚫

Report Check-In

This place is permanently closed.

The campsite is still closed because of the cougar. At the moment there is therefore no possibility to stay overnight here. On the parking lot at the entrance is anyway forbidden to stay overnight. This is big signposted.

O parque é muito bom pra quem curte história, mas achei injusto a cobrança de tarifas.

Pra quem é argentino para 1500 pesos a entrada, para Brasileiros já o valor sobre pra 5.000 (5 mil)

o camping é pequeno, mas dá pra dormir tranquilo, as duchas só ficam abertas durante a noite, das 20:00 às 8:00 e não tem água no camping. Tem que se virar com a pia do banheiro que fica longe do camping

-----------

The park is very good for those who enjoy history, but I thought the fees were unfair.

For Argentines, entry costs 1500 pesos, for Brazilians the price goes up to 5,000 (5 thousand)

The campsite is small, but you can sleep peacefully, the showers are only open at night, from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am and there is no water at the campsite. You have to make do with the bathroom sink, which is far from the campsite.

Admission $2,500 pesos per person. It is only allowed with a guide and you do it in your own car. 40 km in 03 hours on average. We did the 14:30. It takes a while to get to the cafeteria, so take plenty of hydration. And visit the museum, which is really cool😉

Super park. 800PP per person for the tour. It lasts 3 hours and you do it with your car. There is a restaurant where to eat, craft stand with rodicrosite stones really cheap and super beautiful! There is also a campsite with showers in the toilet. It was written from 20h but we were able to take them at 6 pm after asking the lady or we buy tickets. Hot and clean. The turn is really cool and a guide is there to explain to you, it was really superb and worth the visit! (The last visit of the day is at 2pm, you have to be at 1:50 pm in front and bought its ticket (50m after parking))

super parc. 800pp par personne pour le tour. Cela dure 3h et vous le faites avec votre voiture. Il y a un restaurant où manger, des stand d'artisanat avec des pierres de Rodicrosite vraiment pas chère et super belle! Il y a aussi un camping avec des douches dans les toilette. C'était écris à partir de 20h mais nous avons pu les prendre à 18h après avoir demander à la dame ou on achète les tickets. Chaude et propre. Le tour est vraiment cool et un guide est là pour vous expliquer, c'était vraiment superbe et vaut la visite ! (La dernière visite de la journée est à 14h, il faut être à 13h50 devant et avoir acheté son ticket (a 50m après le parking))

We asked if we could stay the night. Because we are not self-sufficient, they said no and offered the camping site. Very friendly and courteous staff.

Report Check-In

Couldn't stay at the parking lot, we had to go to the camping inside the park. The rangers are really nice. The shower hot and perfectly clean. However the camping is not that nice, gravel... but you can do a bbq, have picnic table and electricity

Report Check-In

We came late and the gate was closed. We stayed 2 nights at the parking lot, nobody bothered us. After a heavy thunderstorm with a lot of lightning, we had a quiet night, but the next day the park was closed because of the heavy rain the night before.
WiFi was open and worked good.

After the visit we asked to the reception lady if we could sleep in the parking lot and she nicely said that we had to go in the paying camping place. I guess it depends on who you ask to and maybe if it’s high season like for us?

Llegamos por la mañana al parque.
Queríamos hacer la última excursión de las 17 hs y como hacia bastante calor le consultamos al personal de recepción si había algún estacionamiento con techo ya que el de la entrada no cuenta con ningún reparo. Nos dejó ingresar al estacionamiento C que esta ingresando a contramano por la salida detrás del museo.
Cuenta con wifi libre y funciona muy bien en cualquier parte.
Tiene un lugar de acampe que sale $200 por persona y podes utilizar los servicios de ducha, baños, mesas y techo para el vehículo.
Nosotros le consultamos si podíamos dormir en el estacionamiento gratuitamente donde nos habían derivado y no tuvimos problema en que nos lo permitan si no utilizábamos las duchas y los baños por la noche.
La realidad es que no hay mucho control en ese sector y las hemos utilizado igual arriesgándonos a que nos puedan ver, pero eso no ha pasado.
Dormimos una noche en el estacionamiento C muy tranquilos.
La excursión es muy recomendable y dura aprox 3 hs (pagamos $250 cada uno por presentar libreta de estudiante).
Recomendación: el estado del camino de toda la excursion si bien no es difícil, hay tramos en donde hay muchos pozos y en mal estado. El guia va a una velocidad bastante rápida ya que va en cuatriciclo. Nosotros al tener una Kombi se nos hizo difícil por el ritmo que llevaba la caravana.
Si no queres exponer tu vehículo, podes sumarte a otro vehículo si tiene lugar para ti.
Si pasan la noche no dejen de ver el atardecer en el punto panorámico. Es algo increíble!
Pueden aparecer animales autóctonos en los estacionamientos, por favor no los alimentes!!
El museo es gratuito y está muy bueno! Es autoguiado y muy completo. Tiene aire acondicionado para resguardarse del calor :p
Los artesanos son muy amables.

We stayed at the parking lot with no problem at all. Ee asked at the main entrance if we could stay at night and they said it was not problem.
Public toilets are inside but are opened the whole night and what is better they do have showers. Best hot shower ever in the whole trip. For free. Nobody ask you anyrhi g if you go sttaight to the toilet. Night time was very cold.

We stayed 2 nights in the car park with no one saying nothing, probably because of low season. First night with a couple of other big rigs, a camper bus and a van, next night alone with the zorros. Wonderful free museum, spent hours with the kids reading everything. Friendly staff and beautiful tour in the park. 450/pers kids above 6 included but not checking who actually is in the vehicle.

It’s a huge parking lot. We spend 2 nights here, no one said anything. We wasn’t the only one to camp here. Very quiet at night, in the morning you can hear the tourists buses coming, but nothing else. If you park next to the office you can get good WiFi. We used the toilet of the park, no one said anything either. Very good spot !
