list of camping in Chile?
Hi, does anybody knows where to find a reliable list/app/site of campings in Chile?
In Ioverlander there are some (most are wild camping gps), in Sernartur...nothing, many websites are not updated... Any suggestion?
Maybe someone has been to any camping from Iquique to Calama? We have to spend some days in this region, but can't find a lot...

iOverlander shows 345 Established Campgrounds in Chile most of which should be OK for tents and another 300 Informal Campsites of which probably half would not be at all tent friendly plus 600 wild camping places which of course have few or no facilities, but based on the sample I know about, a fair proportion would be OK for tent camping. 100 hostels shown, many of which are biker friendly.
Depends on what facilities you are looking for.

I mean established camping. I always check on Ioverlander and found some good places, but sometimes it happens to be in a remote area and can't understand if the place is good for motorbike/tent, you go there and discover it's not suitable. Or sometimes info are old, you go there and there is nothing. Therefore I'm just wondering if there was any official list in order to match info. Ioverlander remains a great website.

Check out the Copec maps (available at most Copec gas stops). IIRC they list camping as well as fuel.
The chileans do a lot of camping, so there are many sites in the tourist(y) spots. And in some not so touristy spots. There is usually at least one in each national park.
