Camping Río Serrano is a road-access campground beside the Río Serrano, near the park's southern Serrano entrance and the Cueva del Milodón approach. It has 48 spaces: 46 individual pitches for up to six people and two group sites for 15–20; tents, caravans and motorhomes are accepted. Separate dome tents offer a glamping option.

The campground sits beside the Río Serrano, and some pitches open toward the Paine range; the view depends on where you stay. Kayaking and sport fishing are also offered around the river, so check current access and any rules before planning those activities.
