Check-Ins

Absolutely stunning views here and plenty of spaces to choose your own spot. With some luck you will be high above the clouds and have beautiful views over the surrounding mountains. However: at 19.45 police stopped by and told us it is now forbidden to camp/sleep in our van here. Friendly guys, but negotiations were not possible.

Great place to camp while visiting Futaleufú. Basic small campsite with clean bathrooms and showers. The ground is a little bumpy, so it was a little difficult to find a good place for our tent, but not terrible. It’s only a short walk into town for groceries or rafting companies. We felt comfortable leaving our tent and our car here while we left for our kayak/rafting tours.
Also, they have wifi now! It seems to cover the entire camping area. Just ask for the password.
8,000 clp pp/pn, and they accept credit cards.

Nice garage run by Yoann and his father. Established here since more than 40 years.

We didn't do mechanics there (because we do everything by ourselves) BUT Yoann allowed us to use some of their tools for our own parts repair !

He was really helpful for many things (he helped us to sell our old - but still in good shape - tires) and gave us différents good contacts.

They can take care of all type of vehicles, and they have space ;)

Nice quiet spot (no cars because the road ends here) near a picknick area. Indeed not for big rigs. No facilities.

Safe place to sleep during a trip
No amenities .
Gas station has bathrooms

It looks really nice and interesting, but we decided to leave, because we found the place overpriced. We arrived around 5pm, and the lady told us it was too late for any tour (they have 3 tours, 17 usd per people with no guide, or 27 usd per people with a guide). She proposed we sleep here in our campervan, for 12 usd per person (6 usd for kids). We are 5, and only one of the children was considered as kid. Total for one night and one tour would have been 139 usd. We found it to high, even if the fruits looks very appealing!

Well developed and very tidy and calm area. Toilet and fresh water is near.

Quiet nights stay, steps from the beach, felt secure + locals were nice. Easy to park our truck/camper, walked the beach with the dogs + enjoyed a good nights rest. No cost to park ~ bathrooms would likely cost you some pesos but we had our own.

Unfortunately this free atm doesn’t exist anymore

We couldn’t fit our truck/camper under the entrance. They have a grass parking lot which you can camp at by the entrance. Price is 20,000 COP per person per night. You still get to use the showers and washrooms. Power and water spigot is also there.

Very nice place. Concrete pads and right on the beach

Truly amazing place ! The description of samgabriel25 is on point 👍🏼 We stopped at the second pool and had an amazing time. The pools are full even if everything else around is dry. So don't let the other rivers (or their absence) along the road fool you : just go and have a swim 😉

Great laundromat with friendly staff. 14 pesos per kg. Clothing was right on time when they promised it. Hours 9am to 8pm.

fantastic spot with a wonderful view to San Salvador. Restaurant is very good, not very expensive and we didn't have to pay 10$ because we had dinner there. if we would use their shower than they want +10$.
WiFi super fast, there's also a WiFi at the bigger first parking lot.
can definitely recommend this place.
BUT: the street coming from the north from Quetzaltepeque (LIB10N) is restricted to 4,1 tons!

A place to go on Canal Street if needed, stayed overnight here once, didn't hav any problems but does hav that sketchyness to it

The road towards Ollagüe/ Chile wasn’t that bad at all. First 60km from Uyuni are a mix of hard packed gravel and bad asphalt. Could still drive around 80km/h. Didn’t see any part that could have been a mud pit, even if it had been raining a lot.

Second section is the now completed brand new asphalt road of ruta 701 for another 60km until we had to get back to a hard packed gravel road in good condition. The further construction of the asphalt road seems to take long.

Further in the direction of the border we had very sandy road conditions in the boulder forest (saw motorcycles struggle here) and then again hard packed gravel in good condition.

Overall probably took us 4hrs from Uyuni to Ollagüe border.

What a beautiful spot! Absolutely divine with great views of the salar and volcanoes.

Toilets still broken. The pool was lukewarm but we didn’t dare to take a bath as the wind was too strong and extremely cold.

The next morning we continued the dirt road south. It leads along the salar and ends up on the main road after approx. 45mins. Very scenic, saw flamingos, llamas, vicuñas and nandus.

Grabbed some food cart food down by the beach and then drove up here because our family members had stayed up here the night before in their van. Covered tables with lights at each site. Power to plug in. Water to fill our tank. Very kind and helpful owner. Slept well. 12,000chp for two of us and our sprinter. 5G available for cell.

We parked on a tent loop. $18 with water spigot. Then in the morning they called us and told us we had to pay the day use fee too.

On the GPS location there are some big holes to enter and on the most flat spot at the river there was an old rusty van parked (not sure how long it’s there), so we turned back to the place at the river just 100 meters back (same side, but more gravel road and more space and better views in our opinion ;). Beautiful place to spend a night or longer. Some locals went fishing or had a picnic, but didn’t hear any of them. Very quiet night. Evening sun ánd morning sun, perfect! Movistar 3G but worked fast.

This is a place to fill up water. Both sides of the building have faucets one of them has a hose. The clerk let me use the faucets to fill up the water tank. In return we bought gas and snacks

Beautiful and peaceful ! Low clouds and seafog and patches of holes for the sun, only a bit wind.

Dolphins in the sea and if you like to collect wood, make sure a 20“ ft container „is available“.

Nice enough campsite with sheltered spaces to cook. Clean bathrooms (no hot water). When we arrived there were laminated signs saying 13,000 clp per person payable to Caleta Lodge but then we saw a CONAF park ranger removing these signs so we assumed it was now free to stay - or park rangers would collect a fee in the morning, as per the other Pumalin campsites. At 9:20pm a Caleta Lodge worker came and told us we needed to pay the 13,000 clp per person. All a bit strange - not a major issue but quite expensive for just pitching our own tent. Close to ferry but better value sites/cabañas closer to Chaiten.

Attention! New prices if you want to pay in Leon. If you check the internet homepage, you should go for the prices in $ not the one in Leons. So at the end we payed:
- Comunity fee: 270 Le per person
- Parc fee: 270 Le per person
- Guide: 113 Le for one day
- Camping: 180 Le for two (50% discount, because we had our own equipment, otherwise you pay 180 Le per person)

We where a little bit shocked, because we had to pay the dobble of the price we expected. So we contacted the person in charge in Kenema. They confirmed us the new prices. The prices may even change again in Fabruary.

At the end, we had some discussions, but the walk to the view point was worth! We even saw Dama- Monkey and the rainforest sound with the wildlife is incredible!

The teamleader of the guides and the compound explained us, where and how our money is going to be used, so we where more than happy to here, that this is a good and well working investigation.

+ the teamleader explained us, how the money is going to be spend and used for all comunities around

Now 90 COP for doble room with priv bathroom. Cockroaches in the room and really bad wifi. Better to stay in Hospedaje Guatapé.

Awesome campspot! A bunch of stone picnic tables protected from the wind, an old train car, and some ruins nearby.

Very large parking lot. When I arrived he had at least 10 RVs and trailers. near the highway so a bit noisy.

Lugar muito tranquilo para passar a noite, o posto fecha às 22h mas fica um segurança. O posto tem um local para motorhome com água e energia. O pessoal é muito simpático.

This place is neither closed nor free of charge. Stayed here for one night with my motorhome (3.5 ton, 2WD). The price for one person was 3.000CLP (it doesn't matter if motorhome, tent or other).
On the day we were there the owners were very eager to clean the toilets, brush up the garden and even install a new heating for hot showers.
However, we just got in contact with the owners by chance, when talking to a neighbor nearby. There is no sign or phone number. So, no idea how it works for other travelers.

Tem boa estrutura, deixaram nós acampar.
