Camping Isla San Rafael sits on the banks of the Rio Grande in the valley of Monte Patria, roughly 100 kilometers from La Serena in the Provincia del Limarí, Coquimbo Region.

The site centers on direct contact with nature, with willows lining the riverbank and native wildlife including loros tricahues, a large endemic parrot species of the region.

The campground is also noted for its exceptional nighttime skies, making it a natural spot for stargazing in an area already renowned for astronomical observation.

Its combination of riparian scenery, endemic flora and fauna, and dark skies makes it a standout destination within the Monte Patria commune.
