Camping Municipal Trelew
Established Campground
This no-frills municipal campground sits on Trelew’s outskirts, offering the basics for overlanders hitting Peninsula Valdés or the coastal whale routes. Twenty-odd sites with electrical hookups, clean bathrooms with hot showers, and a small camp store for last-minute supplies. The vibe is practical rather than scenic — think transit camp for serious travelers, not glamping.
Access is straightforward off Ruta Nacional 3, with room for big rigs. The campground stays busy during whale season (June-December) but rarely fills completely. Water pressure can be weak in the evening, and the wifi barely reaches past the office.
