This was a beautiful stay!! The tree tent was comfortable for me and the site had everything I needed. Gerardo gave me all the information I needed before the stay and was helpful while I was there. It was so peaceful to hear the sounds of the rivers and jungle. I would love to stay again and have already told my friends about this place!
Esta fue una hermosa visita!! La caseta era cómoda para mí y el sitio tenía todo lo que necesitaba. Gerardo me dio toda la información antes de la visita y fue útil mientras estuve allí. Fue muy pacífica escuchar los sonidos del río y la selva. Me encantaría quedarme otra vez y ya le dije a mis amigos sobre este lugar.
Flexible and easy access. We were delayed and arrived after dark, but were able to find our site and set up easily. Right on the border, and next to an entrance to El Yunque. Quick and easy access to Luquillo and beaches while still being very quiet and private.
The amenities provided and the overall camping was great and clean, but the spot I was assigned to was very tiny, muddy, not well ventilated from the winds in the region. I wished the owner would have been telling me to go to another spot since the camping was quite empty at this time .
Amazing place near the river BUT be careful don't leave anything unattended : we got our two chairs and our burner stolen, we told the host and he just told us he could rent a barbecue for $20 ... We will have expected a more friendly response ...
I had a perfect trip. Camp grounds were clean and quiet. Perfect place to start and end the day when taking local trips and just as good a place to spend a day on the grounds to recharge. Turtles, snails, birds, lizards, flowers and a beautiful river. Sleeping to the sounds of the forest was an unexpected bonus. Might be my new wake up alarm.
