On Top Of The Hills | Wild Camping

Lots of good options up here. Pick your spot. Flat, not windy and warmer than in town. Also, it snowed in town but not up here at the campsite! We visited the museum right before closing time last night and then came to the spot, only a 2 minute drive. Two track, low clearance dirt tracks everywhere. Pick one. Nice views of the lake.

Esta es una ubicación perfecta para empobrecerse. Pero recuerde que usted es responsable de mantenerlo así. Entierra tu mierda y llévate tu papel higiénico. Esto se está volviendo repugnante rápidamente por parte de aquellos que dejan estas cosas atrás. ¡Solo no lo hagas!

This is a perfect boondocking location. But please remember that you are responsible for keeping it that way. Bury your shit and take your toilet paper with you. This is quickly becoming disgusting from those who leave these things behind. Just DO NOT!

Dies ist ein perfekter Boondocking-Standort. Aber denken Sie bitte daran, dass Sie dafür verantwortlich sind, dass dies so bleibt. Begrabe deine Scheiße und nimm dein Klopapier mit. Das wird schnell widerlich von denen, die diese Dinge zurücklassen. Mach es einfach nicht!

C'est un endroit parfait pour le boondocking. Mais s'il vous plaît rappelez-vous que vous êtes responsable de le garder ainsi. Enterrez votre merde et emportez votre papier toilette avec vous. Cela devient rapidement dégoûtant de la part de ceux qui laissent ces choses derrière eux. Juste ne le fais pas!

Good place to stay if you want to be near to El Calafate, no wind protection, but luckily we had very little wind

Great spot! It’s very open, but feels private since not many people pass by here. Us and our fellow van friends stayed here for several days over New Years without an issue! We saw a couple of horseback riding groups come by in the morning, that’s all. If it’s windy, it’s very windy… there were some pleasant days though! We had service with Claro, too.

There is a maze of soft roads all over this hill. We drove up here in a camper van as the sun was setting and rode around for a while exploring. We had 2 tents and a van and found a great spot with a view. We were lucky and had no wind. Had the wind started blowing I get the feeling out tents would not have held up well being that the ground was super soft

Best place for camping next to the town in Calafate, truly amazing view. We move a couple steps north to the bushes from the coordinates and found great shelter for the wind. Stayed at that place for 2 nights and just saw other tourist horse riding... PS: the tent is not visible at street level (felt more secure) and we went to the museum’s bathroom for drinking water (without actually entering to the exhibits and paying)..

Bert Nice over view but you have to have some luck on your side because of the wind! In de morning we had extreme wind and it was difficult to pack our rooftop tent. Nevertheless it's a great spot with an amazing view!

Big grassy area overlooking the lakes. No wind protection but we didn't have any wind. Nobody bothered us.

Stayed here after visiting Perito Moreno. Not far outside of town. But very quiet. Windy at times, but still could Pop up the camper

Exactly as described. Parked here for a quick night. Rained all night and road was fine in the morning. No wind protection. Luckily no wind for us.

Beautiful spot on top of the hill overlooking the city on one side and the lake and mountains on the other. We drove over a bit towards the lake to be out of sight from the houses and the road. Very peaceful and beautiful if there's no wind. Big grassy area. The only one stopping by was a group of horse riders. Btw. the ice museum you see from up here has free open wifi even in their parking lot.
