A municipal lot on Avenida Esandi is designated for overnight parking and wastewater disposal for a fee. Penalties are imposed for overnight stays in unauthorized areas, illegal dumping of wastewater, and using generators outside designated camping zones.

Key factors included high-quality asphalt, developed infrastructure with campgrounds and fuel stations, and safety for family tourism.
