Amazing place, totally free, and the staff is very friendly !

We did a beautiful hike to the Cerro with a beautiful panoramic view (it says that it takes 3 hours but it’s only 3km long, we did it in 1 hour with high pace).

We didn’t slept there but we cooked and ate in the camping, there is a lot of tables and room to make fire. They allowed us to cook with gas without problem. We also took a hot shower in the clean bathrooms ! The visitor center close at 19:30 but you can stay as long as you want. Entry and bathrooms seems open everytime, you can enter during the night and park with your car or motorhome.

Gracias Argentina !!

Lovely site at pampas. For free. We stayed with our motorhome at the parking lot. The space underneath the trees was too low for us and we liked to stay here.

Confirming previous beautiful campground with hot showers for free. Very quiet when I was here and the noise of the road is only an occasional whisper at night. Most of the campsites are walking for a tent, but there are a couple where you can back your van or camper up to a site. This was an impulsive stop. I ended up staying two nights. The hikes are fantastic. I did all of them. And there’s a lots of wildlife to see the birding is excellent. phone or Wi-Fi available, yet there is a cell phone tower was very strong signal about 5 km west.

Wonderful National Park, great campsite with hot showers, a lot of shade for pitching your tent. Very friendly staff. Great hike to visit views from the peak, rock paintings and generally wildlife. Guanacos, armadillos, vizcachas…

Beautiful park with a unique nature. Lots of birds and viscachas hopping around the campground in the evening. We arrived in the late afternoon without reservation. No problem at all. Hot showers, clean facilities, good Wifi if you stay near the visitor center with information about nature and hikes. Nice and helpful parkrangers. ALL FOR FREE

good place, nice spot, rangers are nice, toilets and shower are clean. but you need to leave your vehicles on the parking lot and can't take them with you next to your tent (we had 2 motorbikes that we had to leave on the parking lot)
a lot of wind when we were there

Free (!) Campground with Trees, Tables, fire pitches, toilets and showers.
Place for Motorhomes is big but has no trees that could spend some shadow.
All the trees around the camp are destroyed by the fire but you can already see how nature is recovering.
WiFi is not public

Very nice park. Visitor center made with love. The rangers are very friendly, the place for motorhomes is perfect. Restrooms are available and clean. In the picnic area are places to sit and grills. One part of the picnic area is closed due to nesting viscachas. Holes in the ground and we were told these are viscachas. So just be patient and you will see some just meters away. A lot of signs warning from pumas. The hikes may only be used from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. because of the pumas. We can absolutely recommend this park. Ah, it is free!

we stayed for nights in the park and campground. made a 8 km walk to some rockpaintings. nice park,clean sanitary (yes!) and everything is still for free. there was no wifi, friendly helpful rangers. The road 152 from here to the nord was between good and acceptable, no problem to drive there.

Small but nice NP with good campground shared with viscachas. Camping has hot shower, tables and bbq. Wifi didn't work. One of the few NPs where you can make fire. NP itself has two walking tracks and one circuit by car. We saw dozens of viscachas, skunks, foxes and birds passing in one meter from you, and one huge iguana.
