The family Dirk, Timo and Felix are German immigrants who have built up a business here as a family. They are all very friendly and helpful. On their spacious piece of land, they are constantly building up further offers.
What we liked very much: the newly built campsite, a complete workshop with German professionals for trucks and cars, WiFi Internet, great trust in the people, the will to build something, the personal commitment.
Where we still see potential for optimization: possibility for eating out as we we have no more water or goods when we are packing and shut down our home, a place to stay when the vehicle is already “wintered”.

Prices: Globi USD 55.00 p.M. outside, The vehicle engine will be started and ventilated on request. Transport to the airport by bus approx. 10.00 EUR p.P.
No credit cards only cash or bank transfer in advance.
What we liked very much: during the preparation time a bungalow can be rented and the restaurat used. They have a washing machine, water connection, super fast internet. Since there are many other travelers it also creates a very nice atmosphere. The offer makes a very reliable impression.
What has left us a bit unsettled: There is only the offer to park outside and the place is right next to the sea, which means that the wind always brings salt to the vehicle.

Where we see potential for improvement: the WIFI works only in the vicinity of the hotel, the vehicles are visible to all restaurant guests, there is no transfer offer and no technical maintenance.

Great information on your website! I know its time consuming to put all this together – I really appreciate it! We are planning to eventually ship our truck to Montevideo end of this year (crossing our fingers)…
Hello! My name is Erik and traveling with me brother Gustav. We’re two Swedish brothers that have been driving all the way from Colombia down to Uruguay in our lives Land Rover Defender.
We’re planing to go back to Europe for some time and leave the car in Uruguay.
I have a hard time finding the exact regulations on that and thought you may be able to help.
How did you do it?
Thanks!!
you can leave your car in Uruguay for as long as your TIP says. Normally you get 12 months when entering Uruguay. You must leave a copy of your TIP at UY-Storage and take the original with you, it is a security!
