Nice, had no idea you were in the Southern Hemisphere. Very cool, what's the big camping spots in your part of the world.

Yes!!!!... from the south hemisphere... and at the very southern part of it.... our country is almost at the edge of the planet... luckily we won't fall from it!!! LOL!!!!
Here in Chile, the camping infrastructure is not the best.... but there are a few places that are taking a few steps forward in this item and are improving their campgrounds to make them "RV friendly". There's one in the "near northern" part of our country, not far from the capital Santiago, in a small beach town that's called Pichidangui. This site is called BED AND WHEELS (www.bedandwheels.cl) and is the first one here in chile to have full hookup sites.... this campground is for RV's only... and the good thing for us is that is not further than a 3 hour drive from home.
There are a few other good campsites here... in mid-february we'll go and see how it's this one www.omz.cl ..... this one is about 4 hours from home in a small beach that's called Matanzas, in the central coastline of chile.... it has a fairly good RV infrastructure, but no full hookup sites... just electricity and water, no sewer connection.... the good thing about it is that it has private bathrooms for each site, so for us in the QS or for the people that's going tent camping is a very good thing.
Another one that has almost the same amenities than the last one is www.playa-blanca.cl, that is located north from santiago, at about 5 hours.
Here's a list of some of the good camping sites here in chile... also there are some natural state parks that have camping sites, but in those, you're on your own... I mean, no electricity, no water or sewer connections and of course, public bathrooms.... If we are going to some of these state parks, I'll buy a privy tent, a porta-potty and a couple of solar showers to be comfy enough.
Well... here's the list:
www.conaf.cl (this one es the national forestal corporation... owner of the state parks)
www.omz.cl
www.bahiamarina.cl
www.sietetazas.cl (this one seems to has some amazing camping spots!!!)
www.lagocolbun.cl (apparently this web site is under construction)
www.campingrucahue.cl
www.ecocampamentoelhuarango.cl
www.basecamp.cl
www.campingeloasis.cl
www.bahiaclub.cl
www.campingchivato.cl
www.campingaleman.com
www.campingpehoe.com
Of course there's a lot more, but I've listed above the ones that I think are the best ones.....take a look at them!
Very neat, I'll check these out.
