Description
Beautiful grassy area surrounded by a pine forest focused on preservation of the forest. For day use by locals (or you), playground and trails into the forest, used for educational purposes as well. Crowded on a Sunday but everyone was gone by 1700. The owner, Nicholas was happy to have us in our Tacoma for one night, 35qz pp. Not for big rigs. Parking area only offered a few flat spots. The grassy area is flat for tent camping as well. Flush toilets and running water (nonpotable though!) No food or drinking water available on site. No WiFi, just spotty 3g. Gate is locked all day and Nicholas lives on the grounds. Felt extremely safe and welcomed. The morning after, a group of locals arrived for what seemed like a church service/gathering. Everyone was so nice. Pets are not allowed but he let us keep our husky in the car until everyone left. There’s one older female dog on the grounds but keeps to herself and is a good security system. Great stay for one night!

Latest Check-Ins
Now 80 Q pp to stay overnight, either in our van or in a cabana. The price to spend a quiet night as there are very few opportunities around. 2 bars 4G.
Report Check-InNow 80 Q pp for staying overnight either in our van or in a cabaña. The price to spend a quiet night as there are very few opportunities around.
Report Check-InNow Q40 for camping overnight, plus (I think) Q10 for day use. There are a couple of simple cabañas too that you can rent for the same price, or slightly fancier ones at Q80 pp; I think they sleep two.
Nice trail of approx 2km through the pine forest with a few environment-themed information panels, a small garden of medicinal plants, a weather station and kids' playground - pleasant place to while away a couple of hours.
Also possible to park for free outside the gate on a dusty pull-off, which I did; right next to the road though. Police were a little wary but let me be.
