Campgrounds

Camping Petunia

@sarahgeiger

This one is located right at the lake and outside the city center, nevertheless a good location if you want to be able to get into the city within a 20 minute car ride. The camping plots are located one right next to the other, so you won’t have a lot of privacy there if that’s what you’re looking for. The bathrooms though were super spacious and really good for a campground. It’s a campground I would recommend if you prefer to stay closer to the center of Bariloche. They also offer dorms and small wagons with beds if you don't want to camp. For reference: We paid 4.000 pesos per person (~10 €) per night at the campground.

Camping Relmu Lafken

@sarahgeiger

Located at Lake Mascardi, this campground is a bit more rustic in terms of sanitary facilities, but in a great location. We were lucky to get a spot right at the water, sheltered by bushes and trees and the lake area was super beautiful and swimming there with the mountain view was amazing! For reference: We paid 2.500 pesos per person (~ 6,50 €) per night at the campground.

Camping los Rápidos

@sarahgeiger

This campground is located right at the beautiful Mascardi Lake. It is a super beautiful and peaceful place! And it leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to facilities. For reference: We paid 4.000 pesos per person (~ 10 €) per night at the campground. Definitely recommendable, especially if you like to stay a bit off the beaten track and you don’t mind to be rather far away from the next city.

Instead of putting hours and hours into research, my guides provide you with the best recommendations so that you have more time to lean back and enjoy.

❗PLEASE NOTE❗ I'm trilingual. I offer my services here in English but I can also provide them in German 🇩🇪 and Spanish 🇪🇸 if you contact me ✨ Hi everyone 👋🏻 I'm Sarah from Germany and my biggest passion is everything related to travel. I not only LOVE to organize my own travels but also help others make travelling and especially planning easier. Below you can find some facts about me to get to know me a little better 😊 🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism. 🗻 I've lived in New Zealand for 2,5 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I've also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each. 🥥 I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food. 🏞️🏝️ I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
