Something not right?
Description
It is a campground with a lot of beautiful plants and a bar by the river, not a hostal.
Call Nicolai in advance: +57 313 765 2031, he speaks spanish and franch
Some are elevated wood platforms costs 20k if with own tent. Somewhere else costs 15k if with own tent. If you don't have a tent, 30k per couple.
We stayed at Nicolai's place in Génova for free. It came recommended by a friend. He and his family have tents at a river side for rent as well as a fishing pond.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

They create a great place with a big green quiet artist garden for relexing some days. They offer only 1-2 regular car parking spaces that are not totaly leveled, but as there are not a lot of guests it should be free. Call Nicolai in advence.
The paved road from Road40 to here is in quite good condition - without pot holes only some not-flat some one-lane. From Génova town to here you should take calle 26 (east bank of the stream) and go up-hill a little, NOT cross the bridge.

Great pleasant spot next to the river with a lot of thought in design and a natural ambiance using mostly recycled materials and the marginal pieces of wood. Tent spaces are covered. Some are elevated wood platforms (20.000 COP for a couple with own tent) and there is a larger space on wood chips, also covered, for 15.000 COP for a couple. If you don't have a tent, it's 25.000 COP per person.
There are warm showers.
Secure parking for motorcycles and covered parking for bicycles. Nicolai, the owner is also a cyclist and can suggest sweet routes.
There are currently no spaces for campers, except maybe a very small vehicle, but Nicolai was telling me that he has plans to open up a couple spots. Maybe contact him in advance. 313-765-2031 or 321-837-3248
I strongly recommend the patacones, fresh from his brother's farm.
Nicolai worked for five years for the ProAves bird preserve in the paramo, so he can recommend a lot of great hiking if you're looking to get off/out of whatever vehicle you're using.
