Camping El Paraiso

Date Visited: 03/26/2015



Location: -33.15928, -58.35813 (Altitude: 3 feet)

Large campground with tables, grills and beach access to river beaches. We were here in late March and alone, but this place might be busy in summer. Great for tent campers but trees so low rigs will not fit into many places. We parked in large parking area near river ( still surrounded by trees). Free. Bathrooms were a bit run down but clean. Our showers were cold.

Parque José Enrique Rodo

Date Visited: 03/29/2015



Location: -34.91465, -56.16628 (Altitude: 72 feet)

Kinda noisy parking area for Parque José Enrique Rodo. Big rigs may find space. No place for tents. On the bright side you are close to all the action and it’s free. Noise died down around 10pm and we actually got a good nights sleep. No bathrooms near where we parked. Free.

Parque Roosevelt

Date Visited: 03/30/2015



Location: -34.85558, -56.02625 (Altitude: 85 feet)

This is a urban park that feels like a gaucho gypsy camp. we followed some dirt roads and found a quiet spot. Lots of other people camping around this park but lots of space and we were here Semana Santa week. You are basically in a huge forest of eucalyptus trees in the middle of the city. We saw a few port a potties but didn’t use them. Lots of people riding horses around. There were some food stalls set up in areas. Festive atmosphere but quiet because it is such a large park. Free.

River Vista Urban Camp

Date Visited: 04/05/2015



Location: -33.16199, -58.35962 (Altitude: 56 feet)

We were here during Semana Santa and the river camping areas were packed so we found this parking area at the end of a street with 180 views of the river. Super mellow but the street light was a bit bright.
