Modern, new gas station just out of town. Free & clean shower, modern bathrooms, bad open wifi, friendly staff. Ok for a night, but not many sleeping spots appropriate for overlanders, it’s more suitable for trucks.

Stayed here twice - both directions on TdF.

Friendly staff. We asked first time, they said to park round the back. We parked near the grass, where the street lights were off. Was nice and quiet.

Clean bathrooms, had toilet paper, free hot showers. Empanadas good, burger less so. Our first YPF stop over and we thought it was great.

Still unsure as to the wizardry required to work the bathroom taps.

Muito bom pra passar a noite. Você abastece e eles cedem as duchas quentes (tem que conversar com o pessoal frentista).

A wi-fi é ampla, pega em vários lugares, apesar de ser limitada na velocidade.

Fora isso, conseguimos abastecer a caixa d'água sem problemas.

If you park BEHIND the main building, you’ll find the pluggins and it’s closer to the restrooms and the showers.
This Ypf has everything: free hot showers, wifi and ultra diesel at $179 :)
The hot water for the mate is not hot enough because it’s one of those dispenser things with the jug on top, so save those fifty pesos

We stayed in front of the shop, so a bit of noise during the night and early in the morning. But a good place to stay. Very clean bathrooms. Showers available by spontaneous contribution. Ultra diesel at ARS 170.

Estação com excelente estrutura. Ducha quente, água e Wi-Fi. Cafeteira com calefação e bom sinal de Wi-Fi. Excelente atendimento.

Report Check-In

I am confused as to why there are two different listings for the same YPF station. We came and looked it over, but as we don’t need any of the services we chose to look beyond. Around back is a dirt road leading to a small lake just a stones throw away. Flat, quiet parking. Perfect space for tents. A dog walker arrived in the morning. Otherwise quiet on a Monday night.
No services here, so take your damn toilet paper with you when you go.

Passamos a noite no YPF em Rio Grande. Ventos muito fortes, parecia que a Kombi era um berço de bebê sendo embalado. Um horror! Apesar disso, a ducha das mulheres era quente e o dos homens não aqueceu. A ducha é grátis e água quente pra chimarrão 40 pesos. Banheiros limpos e bom atendimento do posto. O sinal de wi-fi é bom mas em torno da loja de conveniências. Bom lugar pra passar a noite.

Good YPF with a large parking lot not protected by the wind.
Good hot showers for free!
There is a point for eletricity behind the “servicompras”.
Good open Wi-Fi, but you should reconnect every 30 minutes.

Good and large gas station!
Really hot free showers, and clean bathroons.
It’s a little far from the city, but it is In the way of Ushuaia - a perfect option to rest after a long day of aduanas coming from Rio Gallegos.
Reaaaally windy, so be prepared!

Very nice & quiet place ( in the night). Clean rest & bathroom ( free & hot shower) .Friendly staff. Wifi ok. I recommande. Better than the YPF in Centro.

A lot of Overlanders here.. Good place. But today the showers for men are warm, not hot.. For women are ok. We put our tent near the trucks with no problem, but the floor are made by Ripio. Wifi was unavaiable today.
------------
Muitos viajantes aqui. Bom lugar, mas hoje as duchas masculinas eram apenas mornas, longe de ser quentes. Femininas estavam ok. Colocamos nossa barraca de chão perto dos caminhões sem problemas, mas o piso é de pedregulho, como no ripio. Wifi indisponível hoje

interesting how the service quality can change so quickly. 2/3 male showers did not work at all, 1 was barely warmish. some tap sink taps didnt work either as well as the wifi. did sleep in a tent without a problem

Good coffee, they even have a free water outside so you can refill or clean your car.

Report Check-In

We very lucky, it wasn‘t too windy, so we stayed behind the station where it was quiet (except for some occational trucks arriving) and not too well lit. Toilets are open 24/7 and the showers are great. Men’s shower seems to be open all day, women’s need a key (free of charge). The shop is open till 11pm. There is water at the petrolstation. Friendly staff.

Good overnight stop. Clean free bathrooms, with tp and showers. WiFi was fast. Felt safe!

Bad weather this afternoon. Guys at the pump said card would not work in this weather. Stupid me believed them and paid cash plus gave an honest tip.
In the shop all worked just fine, of course... :-(

Free clean showers. Friendly staff. Free WiFi, slow. No space to block from winds if trying to sleep here.

Report Check-In

Good stop for one night.
Parking lot behind the gas station but for small rigs it's probably better to park at the front of the restaurant, hiding behind the building because the wind is very very very strong. So you have the light but at least no wind. Pretty quiet at night. Good wifi.

Shower is working and very good and hot. Only one in the ladies toilets but on the truck side not the main one close to the restaurant. Cannot close is only a curtain. Free.

This gas station is really modern however there are not good place to stop to spend a night (very visible) but it is better than the gas stations in the city.

the showers are close now, don't know why, just stayed 1 night, little noise because the trucks.

No doubt .... the best place to stay in Rio Grande. I went to Casa Azul de Graciela, I went to Hostel Argentino, I went to other lodging .... not worth it, besides some are closed. This post has fast internet, bathrooms to top and the food made is fantastic. I ordered a snack on the plate ... Giant is very tasty. I RECOMMEND

Showers still free, hot and clean. The women bathroom has only one shower and no lock. As it was 9am no-one enter when I was inside.
The wifi worked well from 7pm to 9pm but after not so much. We were able plug our laptop and work inside the cafeteria without consuming. It close at 11 pm.
Not so busy during the night.

Wonderful hot showers (free) - girls have to ask for the key but than it is all yours. Very clean. In the Restaurant/Cafe good WiFi; powersockets for charging the computer.

Modern, pretty new gas station just out of town. Free & clean shower, modern bathrooms, bad open wifi, friendly staff. Ok for a night, but not many sleeping spots appropriate for overlanders, it’s more planned for trucks.

Report Check-In

Showers were for free! They are next to the truck/bus pumps and drivers just walk in. Back door in the man's bathroom leeds to three showers. Very clean and hot.
Lady's bathroom was locked but we got the key without hesitation. One shower, you lock the bathroom and will have the entire facility for yourself.

Water tap with hose next to the machine to pump up a tyre. WiFi was free but useless, maybe it works at another time better.

Diesel was 17.73 so cheaper than in Porvenir or Russfin both at the Chilean side. Didn't sleep here, why would we if you can park close to the shore further south?
