The Region

The Region in Detail

Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Patagonien.

Northern Patagonia: Lakes & Volcanoes

In northern Patagonia, picturesque lakes, dense forests, and imposing volcanoes dominate. The region around Bariloche is ideal for camping holidaymakers who value good infrastructure alongside nature experiences. Here you will find numerous campsites with good facilities and connections to hiking trails and water sports opportunities. Perfect for a relaxed camping holiday with the family.

Mobility in Patagonia: On- & Off-road

A four-wheel drive vehicle is worth its weight in gold in Patagonia. Many remote campsites are only accessible via gravel tracks. Think carefully about whether you really want to take your motorhome – the roads can be challenging. There are hardly any tolls, but fuel is expensive. Plan your route carefully and refuel in time!

The Hidden El Bolsón: Hippie Vibes

Off the beaten track lies El Bolsón, a small town at the foot of the Andes. Here, clocks tick slower. There is a great hippie market, many small breweries, and a relaxed atmosphere. Campsites are affordable and often very close to nature. A real insider tip for individualists!
