Excellent Bathrooms

This site has some of the nicest bathrooms I’ve seen, WiFi worked well through most of the camp. The camp is situated between a busy highway and a busy railroad so it’s not the quietest but you don’t have to worry about animals as much. Price is fair for the facilities and WiFi .

not worth the price

A spacious place among the trees, clean toilets. Besides, it is located between a main road and a railway that passes with high frequency. There is not much to do there, just the middle of the road. Because of the proximity to the glacier it costs a lot, and in any case it is not worth the price compared to other places.
