The best river, stream, or creek glamping in Puerto Rico

Hop a plane with your carry-on full of camping gear and take advantage of Puerto Rico’s year-round mild temperature and diverse ecosystems. Upon arrival on the tropical island, stop at a roadside stall or “kiosko” to pick up food and other necessities, and head toward one of Puerto Rico’s remote beaches for a coastal camping adventure. On the world-famous Flamenco Beach of Culebra Island, you can pitch your tent a few feet away from the shoreline. For a completely different experience, check out Rio Camuy Cave Park. Exploring the extensive cave system makes for a great day trip. A short drive from the capital of San Juan is the El Yunque National Forest, a tropical rainforest where there are seven designated campgrounds. Each offer a unique, Caribbean camping experience. Just make sure to request a free camping permit before you go.

Weekend Trip to Rainforest Campground & Glamping

We chose this campsite for our daughter’s 11th birthday. We had a great glamping experience with absolutely stunning views! It was truly a peaceful and scenic escape. The hike to the stream was beautiful but definitely challenging due to recent rain; the trail was muddy and SUPER slippery, so come prepared with proper footwear. The campsites are near a little drop off, so it’s best to only take big kids. The host was incredibly responsive, kind, and provided detailed information that made our stay smooth and stress-free. Overall, a memorable adventure that we will cherish forever!

I was lucky to have the campground to myself the whole evening. As a solo traveler I was a little apprehensive at first, but everything was so well organized and communicated. I was able to speak to Adam on the phone, he sounds like an awesome dude who truly looks after guests! Sunset and sunrise were gorgeous, and the sound of the frogs, while yes very intense at first (right by my head outside the tent!) it ends up quieting thruout the night. I saw a few posts about people saying the tents looked nothing like the pictures and wasn’t sure what quality to expect. They are only a different color 😂 still just as good! The road up is a tight one, just hug the edge and slow down. Great spot! And the stream was amazing!

Weekend Trip to Finca Remedio Permaculture Farm

Alexa and Naldo have created such a magical experience, staying here was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico! We stayed in the cob house, which is a work of art and an inspiration in sustainability. Loved how everything was completely off grid, but never felt like it lacked any common necessities. The composting toilet with the live-in chicken was constant entertainment for my 6 year old daughter. The "hike" down to the serene river swimming hole is not to be missed. Definitely recommend sampling the chocolate as well. We really hope to make it back here someday!

3 nights at Rainforest Campground & Glamping

Really beautiful land and very nice set up! We “glamped” in the tent/bed set up and found it very comfortable. We appreciated the fan provided to keep us cool at night. The bathroom and shower were very nice as well! We really enjoyed the jungle walk on the property (but know it’s not for the faint of heart. Very difficult both up and down but WOW so worth it!!) I would recommend arriving in the daylight hours - even with very amazing directions from the host it was difficult to navigate in the dark. Plus, you need to be prepared for an intense drive to the site. Roads are narrow (to the point that you feel it should be a one way but cars will certainly be coming from the opposite direction), curvy, mountainous and a bit pot-holey. This is how a lot of the roads we traveled in Puerto Rico were so just be aware!! We chose to not use the kitchen facility and personally wouldn’t recommend relying solely on that as a means for your meals. Another recommendation is to bring ear plugs! It is SO COOL being immersed in the rainforest but you can’t comprehend how loud of the Coqui (frogs) are & they have a high pitched cry that can easily keep ya up at night. Overall, great and unique experience while in PR!

Weekend Trip to Hacienda Monte Rey near El Yunque

A hidden gem. Sleeping in the Tree Tent was an experience compared to none other. Before opening my eyes in the morning I had a sense of being a young green sprout surrounded by the hard outer seed. The welcome morning rain nourishing and softening that seed pod. Eventually emerging to see a lush rainforest all around, a beautiful tucked away river, birds and butterflies of many species flying about. I’m not sure their are many places on Earth like this left to discover.

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.

Beautiful! We all thoroughly enjoyed our Lakeview glamping experience! The tent was perfectly set up for two adults and two teenagers. The beds were comfortable. The View outstanding! The kitchen was perfectly practical even with all the leaks, as it rained HEAVILY every afternoon. HOT showers. Lovely walk to the stream and waterfalls. A MUST do adventure! We were sad to find the firewood punky and soggy. All in all a fabulous experience.

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.
