Balneario - Camping Carlos Xamena

The frist night..they pick our bike .The toilet was totally closed in the morning for a half houre . It was in the 90 years beatiful i think.The swimming pool was closed.

Cannot recommend this place. THEFTS. I would treat this campground more like a wild camping spot in a park with amenities rather than a secure campground. The place is very run down, wifi only right by the entrance, showers are clean and hot, but old. They have a dumping station for grey and black water and great water pressure to fill water tank. Pool is huge and must be awesome to use during summer time. Lots of trees and it is very quiet. However, one night a thief went around the campground and stole from many campers, our BBQ grill was also gone in the morning. They do have security guards and a gate, but it seems like it doesn’t help. We were parked below security cameras, when we wanted to see the footage we were informed that they do not work. A few days later we were informed that one of the security guards helped the thief. The campground took absolutely no responsibility. One afternoon we also had a homeless guy open our camper door when we were inside and he asked for food and money, apparently people can just walk in and out of this campground. Just do not leave anything unattended outside your vehicle. We paid 4400ars per night for two people and a truck camper, which is at least a really good price.

It's a camping....WHERE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CAMP... we arrived by bike and after a hot cycling day were ready to jump in a pool and call it a day. But quickly (and quite rudely) we were told they do not allow tent camping? They couldn't give a good reason why as well. Apparently it's the rule since COVID. Campervans on the other hand are allowed, which feels very unfair. It really defeats the purpose of a camping. Would give zero stars if we could!

Good main bathrooms with hot showers ( some of them) Big camping areas under trees. The washing up areas are not so clean and a lot of rubish lying around. Enjoyed the stay. Biggest swimming pool I have ever seen!

Worst night of our 2 month trip to chile/Argentina. We needed a place to stay for our one night in Salta before heading to the airport the next morning. The place was full of shady biker types, and after we went to bed we woke up to extremely loud club music which played from 12:30-6am right next to the campgrounds. We had about 100 feet of space from the next tents when going to bed and at 1:30 am two couples showed up and put their tents within 10 feet of ours, taking a good hour to set up and go to bed. We have no idea why they had to set up so close on both sides of us. The bathrooms were passable, however at 7:30 am when we woke up the men's restroom was locked up. We left at 8 am exhausted, and very upset. We paid $20 arg per person, plus $27 for tent (only place I've ever been that charges you for your own tent) and $27 for the car. Prices as of March 12, 2016. (From the female perspective) We have traveled a lot and have slept in questionable places, but a low grade hostel would have been safer and an improvement to this location. Showers had hot water, and there is a store/basic cafe next door, which was good. Only stay here if it is a last resort. Perhaps it was our experience that was the exception, but it is worth $20/$30 US to stay at a hostel over this campground.

the toilets were dirty and many did not work the showers did not work and we were warned that locals climb over the fence and steal anything left out like washing. there is no wifi and the area ouyside the camp is not good. the check out process took 20 minutes. we will not stay there again.

Fun fact - this is the largest freshwater swimming pool in the world by area.

Was not allowed to camp with tent. Whats that for a camping?? Security was nice though and explained friendly, owner not so friendly.
