We tried coming here for the night. After a few minutes, a guy came and told us it was prohibited to park there, even worse spend the night, as the area belong to a UNESCO protected site. We moved to the Plaza Mayor (see other iOverlander spot nearby)

Considered this place for daytime parking with campervan. But, cannot recommend it.
There are iron posts on the access road and iron chains, blocking it. Even though one lane was open I did not drive through.
To get to the actual spot you would need to drive over a nasty curbstone. This place seems no longer accessible for campervans.

We slept at this quiet place and nobody really cared. We arrived around 23.00. We didn't see any guard and policemen didn't come either, so we had a very quiet night's sleep. The next morning, though, around 11.00, we were told to move the car, as the parking is occupied only by residents or business owners of the street. So I would say, you can stay there, as long as you arrive late and leave early.

We couldn’t find any reason why this place should be closed. Although we didn’t stay overnight, we think it should be possible.

December 16th, 2019 by TwoByThree

This place is permanently closed.

September 12th, 2019 by SteefGees

very noisy (loud motorcycles and music during the night), much traffic at the road/roundabout (although it's a dead end), toilets are ok-ish (at night only the dirty mens toilet is open). Many locals and tourists wandering around during the day. I do not recommend this place as overnight location, but it's ok to park your car here for a visit of the historic center.

September 9th, 2019 by claudia.haenisch

There is no sign that you may not camp or park there. When we came 2 other campers confirmed that they camped for 3 days here with out any problems. However, the carguard told us not to camp here. We ignored him, as we thought he has maybe his own agenda, because everyone is staying here for overnight. In the middle of the night the police came, and said that we had to leave. So we left, knowing that the others were just lucky.

Very quiet and calm. Toilets at tourist office. Beautiful view of the river and old city wall

April 24th, 2019 by pagesrougesetnoires.wordress.com

Extraordinary spot, super quiet during the day and night, view over the rocky beach, toilets near the tourist office, no neighborhood, it is at a walking distance from the visitors center and from all the historic streets, and There was some other overlanders. Perfect spot if you’re in campervan and also in big rigs. If you like craft beer, you should go at Barbot on the « Washington Barbot » street and try their pumpkin ale!

definitely not good for big trucks. road too small and low branches of trees. parking guide does not recommend to camp there as Police gives fines.

December 16th, 2018 by world.nopebone.com

Very nice spot on Rio de la Plata near to the oldtown of Colonia del Sacramento. Toilets behind the tourist office are open 24h. We recommend this place:-)

November 14th, 2018 by Nicole Guanziroli

perfect for one night, we are leaving tomorrow to buenos aires with the ferry. quiet, toilet at the tourist office.

November 12th, 2018 by tracksaroundtheworld.de

Yes, indeed, it is a nice spot in this beautiful village. But we heard, that in the meantime the neighbourhood is not amused because of the overlanders. So it is your decision. Just for your information.

October 24th, 2018 by losdosbelgas

Great grassy (and free) parking spot: located right in the historic centre and close to the water. No wifi, toilets closeby (at the tourist information center, no security guards but the neighborhoud felt very safe.

September 13th, 2018 by stefinicoandchico

Beautiful place. Quiet, green, nice view and seemed for us safe enought to leave the camper and take a walk around the citty. Also our little dog could run and play. Nice to meet other traveleres in this spot, some starting the journey, some finishing it..

August 28th, 2018 by To where the road ends

As described by others. Very quiet, open flat area, next to historic centre and river. I arrived late but there was just German couple in a unimog. No one bothered me in the night, no traffic noise since it's not on a road that goes anywhere. Not checked out the tourist information toilets yet.

August 14th, 2018 by p.janu

It is a good place to stay over night, when you want to visit the city.

June 9th, 2018 by douhe

Good parking to visit Colonia del Sacramento. Stayed overnight. Quiet in this season.
Toilets at tourist info.

4runner with rooftent. There is an official motor home camping spot close to the bullring, but we camped here along with 4 other vehicles and no one seemed bothered. Quiet at night.

April 3rd, 2018 by undtschueuess.wordpress.com

what a lovely place to stay. totally safe a lot of other overlanders. shady under trees...just nice

March 28th, 2018 by GrosseReise

Fantastic place! We had a great, peaceful night under stars right in semana santa. One of the best places near a town we stayed in 6 months. Police patrolled in the morning and we met a couple French overlanders. Nice.

December 20th, 2017 by malganzweitweg

Realy nice place, we stay here for two nights. Quiet, we sleep well and feel safe.

December 19th, 2017 by evenaanhetleven

just great! very quit at day and night. beautifull sunset and nice place to.catch up with other overlanders

October 31st, 2017 by alles-selbst-erlebt.de

Nice spot on gras, next to the old city and Rio de la Plata. If you are lucky, you can spot Buenos Aires on the other site - great perspective.

June 12th, 2017 by charisma45.com

Nous avons dormi là en septembre 2016 et en juin 2017. Calme la nuit. Passage régulier de la police. Aucun service. Avec une bonne antenne on capte le wifi de l'office de tourisme

Nice spot, calm even in the middle of the "tourism week" in Uruguay. Close to the city historical centre, you can easily give a walk under the morning lights with nobody in the street.

March 16th, 2017 by cecile-thiery

Good and quiet place for night (we stay two nights). No more showers in the Marina (only for people who have a boat...)

January 15th, 2017 by ea2cguillier

Green grass. tourist people during the day but nobody the night except 2 other overlander.
great view.

November 29th, 2016 by facebook.com/porainaestrada2016

Nice place to stay, a little bit busy, but it is a tourist place.

November 10th, 2016 by eniorossetti

Duas noites tranquilo. Durante o dia há um certo fluxo de turistas mas não chega ser problema. Junto às paredes da muralha e do portão que dá acesso ao Bairro Histórico. Sem infraestrutura.

October 29th, 2016 by panamericana.de

Die Toiletten hinter der Touristinfo sind wie folgt geöffnet: die oberen tagsüber, die unteren nachts. WLAN an der Touristinfo ist ziemlich schnell.

April 27th, 2016 by vwontheway

Optimaler Übernachtungsplatz auf einer Wiese an der Festungsmauer direkt beim historischen Zentrum. Parkplatz ohne Versorgung

March 20th, 2015 by silke.vincentevents

A really nice and quiet parking spot on grass right in the historical centre. Toilets on walking distance at the tourist office from 9am. We met other overlanders here too.

January 1st, 2013 by Fabian Pickel

Grassy area by the shore, near city wall, 50m below tourist info. Free, quiet, scenic, close to old town. Shower (charge) at the city marina, about 1km away.
