Camping Paine Grande
Camping area
The camping area is within a flat area surrounded on one side by a mountain and a lake on the other. There are define spots for the tent but most of them are already in place as they are rented all year round. The tent that is provided is The North face summit series tent and it seems to be the 3 places one so if you are 2, there are pretty spacious.
The sleeping bags are great and are made to get at -17°C or so. There are no pillows.
Bathroom
There are separated bathrooms for men and women. During the rush hours, a second set for both is open. At the time I took a shower, there was not hot water and it was pretty cold. But later we overheard people telling they had hot water. The showers are separated but the changing room is common and quite small. It gets quickly wet but fine for a night
