Great spot with awesome hosts. Super clean and adding more and more amenities. When we stayed there were quite a few people coming in every day. I’d definitely recommend emailing them before you drive up the road (especially if you have a large vehicle or one that’s not great on unpaved roads). Highlights: incredible setting, awesome hikes, great kitchen area, fire pit, clean bathroom (nice composting toilets w/ sinks outside to wash up), garden and fruit trees onsite. Things to consider: if you have an RV or van that rattles a lot prepare yourself for a long drive on a fairly bumpy dirt road. It’s not a bad road but I imagine it could be loud… or difficult/tight in larger vehicle (like a class c rv, Expedition Vehicle, etc). There is probably room for 10-14 rigs. But if you’re in something like a 170” sprinter (7M -23’ long) spaces are limited. They now have a IG account: https://instagram.com/ranchosandionisio?igshid=MDM4ZDc5MmU= Prices: $200 one person, $300 per couple, under age 10 are free |

I think the location is off a bit. Appears to be a house or business at the spot. Went down the road about 0.25 miles and stayed at Wolf Creek trailhead parking lot. Few cars went pass overnight |

Nice campsite, imho the only one in town that are good for campervans. Quite expensive though, 2500 ppn plus 300 per car. Managed very strict, with checkout times (10 am!) and daily changing codes for the showers. Bathrooms are clean, showers hot and unlimited. WiFi exists but is not usable as everywhere in El Chalten. The place is very busy at high season, but that's due to the lack of alternatives... |

We were told that it was not in operation. Another RVer was told that it’s not available on the weekends. So, who knows? |

This border is open from 9am-8pm every day. The location is further down the road into Chile than what’s marked on iOverlander, which might be why people think it’s closed. Very quick and efficient. |

parking ordinance according to the website (see photo i posted) is specifically ONLY for RVs and RV style vehicles. Car camping according to this ordinance is still 100% fine 🤣 Guess the rich folks in the houses opposite didnt take too kindly to people stopping overnight |

Typical big box parking lot. Stayed one night in our Class B with no issues. Close to main road so there is some road noise thru night. Good cell service. |
