The best camping near Arecibo with swimming

·

In Arecibo, swimming takes centre stage, with over a dozen campsites offering easy water access—think river dips, tidal pools, and spring-fed streams—right outside your tent. Average nights run $41, but you’ll find spots as low as $19 if you’re watching your wallet. Campfires are allowed, pets are welcome, and you can count on showers after a long day in the water. Wildlife-watching and surfing round out the scene for anyone looking to mix it up. If you want firsthand advice, start with Rainforest Campground & Glamping (44 reviews), Finca Virginia ⛺️ Cabo Rojo (30 reviews), or Finca Monte Bahía (17 reviews)—these are the local favorites for a reason.

12mi from Arecibo · 1 site · Tent
The campsite comes with a 8'x10' Coleman tent, 6' table, and bucket toilet (you remove waste bag) included. A 8 Person Tent is available for rent. If you would rather use your own tent, please message me. Nestled in the mountains of Utuado, Puerto Rico, tucked into our valley, you will find the camp. Be awakened by the sunrise over the mountain tops, near and far. The creek and trails will be waiting, after you enjoy your morning Puerto Rican coffee and fresh bread. Puerto Rican meals and Evening Campfire available. 420med👍 We have many additional options to add to your campsite and experience here. Please see all the extras we have to offer. Reserve them with you date. Utuado has so many great recreational outdoor activities ( See Photos). Rivers, waterfalls, beaches, flowers, culture and much more. We can give you ideas and directions for the things you might be interested in experiencing. With only one campsite on the property, and the comfortably secluded surroundings, you will indulge in peace and beauty. Campers leave feeling refreshed and healthier than they arrived. The fresh air, the perfect sunshine and good quality mountain food feel great to consume. You can enjoy the plentitude of animals here and surrounding the property. Both wild and domestic. If you're a bird watcher, this is like a natural sanctuary. Song birds sing all through the day, and the doves snore beautifully at night. Cranes, owls, hawks, humming birds, parrots, and many more I'm not familiar with visit all the time. We got farm ducks, and chickens too. My neighbor has a flock of Peacocks that are usually out to be seen (it's a hike to see them, but we can take you there if you'd like). Coqui's singing romantic songs all through the night. Crabs in the creek for the kids to catch. It's a jungle. We have a lot of fruit trees on the property. If you see anything ready for the taking let us know and you can partake in the experience of harvesting and eating it. Bananas, avocados, soursop, guava, fig, calabaza, coffee, name, coconuts, pana pen, and more. Clean filtered mountain water is available for purchase. As well we keep a regular supply of Caribbean snacks available. Sweet and savory available for purchase. Exciting.

Property is less than 1 acre, it is approximately .25. Himpcamp website doesn't allow me to place that specific information. My Little Shack is a wooden structure property with kitchen and living room open spaces, it has 1 private room with 1 full bunk bed and another full size bed, one bathroom. No a/c, tv, microwave, hot water. Capacity for 4 adults. By kayak you may visit, preferably at new moon night, one of the 20ths world's unique Bioluminiscent Bay. PR has 3 and one of those is just minutes away to experience! You'll get to the shack house by a dirty and bumpy road, 32 steps up stairs, must be in shape! Also you can anchor your boat almost in front of the property (there is no dock for boats there, but you may dock your dingy while visiting Parguera Village, advanced notification has to be made for arrangement.) Birds, lizzards, manatees, starfishes, stingrays, dolphins, brilliant stars night and breathtaking blue skies, don't say about our sunsets and sunrises! Amazing cays are another natural atractions, ask for Mata La Gata sea pool area. Water in front of the house isn't suitable for swimming if you are not related to waters surrounded by mangroves but you may visit Parguera sea sighting by your boat, by in site boat rental at Parguera, parasailing, diving and many other tours... By car there are plenty of different kind of beaches at nearby towns. There are safe trails to explore. You may search for Parguera, PR, to take a glance of what you are missing! Puerto Rico, as a whole is 100 x 35 square miles, is a tropical island with a variety of unimaginable places so get ready for adventure! USA citizens don't need passport, a valid real id is all you need! What are you waiting for?
