First the location of this paid campground is WRONG on the Rankers app.
It is located north of Piripiri campground and the true location is showed on the DOC website. You need to book in advance as there are different codes on many padlocks to access anything and everything. At first we were given the wrong codes ... while we were already on site with almost no cellphone reception! Price is $12 per night per person for access to the hot shower.
