The pampa is semi desert & there is no water along the route apart from the points marked Bridge on the track file. Water is very silty, you will need a filter.
Possible campsites: A few widely spaced estancias but most are well back from the road (often several kilometres) Estancia Santa Margarita (marked on Openstreetmap) is by the road & you could ask if you can camp there. 15KM from Chalten just after the bridge is a building with no roof. You could sleep in it or camp behind it.55KM from Chalten just before another bridge is another building with no roof, another possible refuge or campsite. It will probably be too windy & exposed to camp by the lake. Going along the lake SOBO on dirt tracks about 6KM before you reach the road is Punta del Lago Estancia, you may be able to camp there behind trees or buildings. There are no trees & no shelter on the pampa. Trees only grow at the estancias.
After 108KM (or 102KM if you take the jeep tracks) you reach La Leona. Camping for $10 US or 9000 pesos (nov. 2023 price)
