Camping Municipal da Lagoa dos Patos sits on the shore of the Lagoa dos Patos in São Lourenço do Sul, maintained by the municipal government and covering approximately 12 hectares of sandy ground shaded by native trees.

The site sits beside the local yacht club and offers direct access to calm, clean freshwater beaches on what is considered the world's largest freshwater lagoon.

Volleyball, soccer, and bocha courts, a children's playground, individual and communal barbecue grills, collective and private restrooms, laundry sinks, and showers are spread throughout the grounds.

Electrical hookups and water taps are available across the camping area.

The campground fills up during the summer season, when temporary vendors, small markets, bars, and restaurants operate on-site; outside of peak season some areas are closed and those commercial points do not function.

A notable landmark within the grounds is the Galpão Crioulo, a traditional timber structure said to be the only one of its kind in Rio Grande do Sul and one of the largest in Latin America.
