Description

Lovely campsite just up the road to Pumillahue from Punihuil Beach. Spectacular unimpeded views of the sun setting into the Pacific. Pitches largely sheltered from the wind and only 5 in total so nice and 'tranquilo'. Cabanas also available. Very friendly owner who also provides food in the onsite restaurant (although we didn't try it). Piping hot solar heated showers available all day and very clean. A very short walk to a good Mirador and a longer one if you want to get to the non-swimmable beach. We paid 4000 pesos per person for one night in February. Bear in mind that if you're doing the early morning whale watching tours from Punihuil, the wet grass can make leaving at 6.15am tricky in a normal car! Move it to the car park when it's still dry...

This what really good.
Very lovely couple with a restaurant and the campground.

We stayed two nights and had the best relaxed time. There are tables to use.
We made fire in the fireplace outdoors and the owners loved it.

They have the best empanadas and seafood to enjoy with the best views.

Great spot. Beautiful views across the bay. We arrived late at night out of season and the owner was very nice and pointed out the facilities (hot showers, hooray). The drive there was a bit scary on the dirt roads. The last 1km particularly was a challenge. We just about managed to make it in a 2WD camper but took a few attempts to get up the final hill. 3G signal. 6000 pesos pp.

lugar con una vista maravillosa a las pinguineras, se puede llegar desde la playa donde salen los tour o por el camino por arriba, ese camino es de tierra y no muy buenas condiciones.
cuenta con agua caliente solar, por lo que en las mañanas se debe ocupar la ducha temprano sino no alcanza a calentar para todos.
cuenta con restoran y la dueña es muy amable.

Absolutely stunning small campsite. We stayed here with our rooftoptent and a small tent. The owner was very nice. Can be pretty windy and cold, but totally worth it because we saw a lot of whales by sunset. Current price is 6000 pesos per person.

All already been said, great place, you should not miss it! The owners sell some delicious cheese. We saw two wales quite close during sunset from the mirador.

All what was said below is true. Great place to stay! If you park next to the restaurant you can have wifi all evening long! And it work pretty good. Also dont forget to eat the empanadas here. From here it is a 5 minute drive to the pinguinera.

Really really beautiful spot. We opted to park up by the restaurant for the better view, though they offered that we could park down by the bathrooms as well. They do have WiFi now, though it didn’t work very well (and only by the restaurant). No cell service. Really fantastic sunsets. Still 5,000 pesos/person

El camping está ubicado en un alto con unas vistas preciosas al mar. Si no llevas 4x4 mejor dejar la Camper en el parking de arriba. 5000p/p, agua caliente todo el día (solar). Restaurante donde comer muy rico y barato. La dueña muy amable.
Mucho viento por la tarde.

Best campsite on our trip so far. Not so much because of the facilities which are also as described clean and nice, but because of the amazing view and landscape. Sun, sunset, morning mist - all are magic here.
There are two short walks, each to a mirador and a beach. The left one turned out to be a bit adventurous (steep, muddy and lots of stingy plants) so maybe don’t wander off in shorts and flipflops.
5000 pesos pppn.

Price updated for the season 5000 pp. They have a closed shed with tables and benches to use in case of wind and rain.
Otherwise as mentioned before, beautiful views and friendly owners.

Basic (snack?) restaurant on site. restaurant open till 8pm.
Verry clean.
12000p for 2 children and 2 adults

Unimpeded stunning views of the coastline with beautiful sunsets. Definitely a good site for the scenery however it was tricky to find a decent spot with a campervan that wasn’t too windy. Felt the campsite was more catered for tents than campervans. Also we didn’t find the staff overly friendly they seemed very eager to take our 8,000 chp (4,000pp) before we had even found a decent spot. Also the taps were all supposed to give drinking water but it tasted a bit dirty and dodgy. When we checked with the owner she said all were fine but then 5mins later brought us a 5l bottle of “drinking water” which was potable. Might have been a case of lost in translation but just a warning to check the water supply is safe to drink.

We needed shelter from the wind and rain so we decided to pay for camping. Power outlets were not working and showers were far from warm. We were able to sit outside protected from rain and wind but a bit expensive for what you get; 4000 pp

Report Check-In

Wow!!!!! This is a great place to stay at the coast... 4000pp, hot showers and clean toi.

Report Check-In

we were the only ones at the camp here. No wifi, clean toilets and hot shower at the end of the day (solar panels heat the water). View is beautiful but it gets windy and cold as soon as the sun sets. Great opportunity to star gaze if there are no clouds.
We paid 8,000 CLP for two people

Report Check-In

A BRILLIANT spot! We paid $4000 pppn (including the camper), which was worth it for the phenomenal sunset alone. Make sure you check out the mirador and beach, particularly in the evening. Clean toilets and showers with solar heated water, friendly owners and an on-site fogon. There are five spots down a grass driveway, each with a covered bench, or you can park alongside the restaurant for a million dollar view when it's quiet! Apparently they get both blue and humpback whales hanging out in the bay during migration season.
