Excellent spot, tremendous views, great price, you won't regret it. Tomas greeted us when we arrived and he was so welcoming and helpful. Throughout he was asking what we needed and if there's anything he could do to make the experience better. Mainly this was due to the fact that it downpoured for a good 6 hours on are only full day. It didn't matter. Luckily there is a pretty large space for the kitchen and playing games and relaxing out of the rain. There's also a patio near the pool to do this. The pool is amazing and the views at night and during the day are breathtaking. We were able To make a fire the first night and hike to the river. There's some trails and some hidden gems you just need to ask Tomas. He offered to take us to a trail for a hike but we just didn't have time because of the rain. Next time. He also mentioned a trip to a secret Beach that we also couldn't take advantage of. It truly is a great spot and a great price. We will definitely be making this a regular stop as we live on the island. Thanks again Tomas.

1 night at Rainforest Campground & Glamping
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!

Great place for camping! Hot showers and toilets are a super plus! Hiking is a bit extreme but the views and magical place is well worth it! Easy and convenient to get there. 15min drive to Utuados main town.

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!

2 nights at My Little Shack by the Sea
This place is amazing. Honestly, it's one of the best places we've ever stayed. It is right over the ocean, has everything you need to cook, and is just so incredibly relaxing. Sitting in the breeze and looking out over the water is heaven. We also rented the house kayak and went over to a nearby cay and snorkeled. It's also possible to kayak around the corner to the La Parguera bio bay. So cool! We would stay here again without hesitation and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Last weekend’s camping trip was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a peaceful, scenic spot, the campsite was surrounded by nature’s finest—tall trees, open skies, and the kind of fresh air that instantly puts you at ease. The tranquility of the setting made it the perfect escape from the metro area and close to my favorite beaches.
One of the highlights was the incredible sight of horses grazing near the campsite. Watching them roam freely, their graceful movements adding to the already serene atmosphere, was a truly unforgettable experience. Whether it was the gentle rustling of leaves, the occasional distant whinny, or simply the warmth of the fire under the starlit sky, every moment felt like a retreat into nature’s embrace.
If you’re looking for a weekend of relaxation, connection with nature, and the joy of being surrounded by beautiful animals, this was the perfect place to be.

Weekend Trip to Rainforest Campground & Glamping
This place was beautiful and perfect! Our site wasn’t right next to anyone which we loved and it had an amazing view! It was camping but a little less stressful as they had so much already there for you ready to use. The bathrooms were even nice! I would def recommend this place to everyone!

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.

EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION! Loved everything about the trip, and the host's flexibility. There are nice amenities as described and the view is breathtaking. We loved the versatility of the space, where people can either stay at the house, glamp, or camp. Makes for a perfect family trip with diverse generations. Will come again!

Camping at Casa Mango was great! The doggo’s Lela and Ocean along with kitty Lenon patrolled the yard to keep the iguanas up in the trees. Plenty of open space to set up. There’s a massive empty field behind the property essentially giving you a back yard with no one in sight as far as the eye can see. Look forward to going back!

Adam’s place was absolutely mesmerizing! The views took my breath away. We had the entire glamping site to ourselves and enjoyed the shower and clean campsite. We walked the trail down to the water which was an adventure in itself. Highly recommend ordering dinner to be brought to you. My kids, husband and I loved sitting out by the fire looking down the beautiful mountain eating some of the most delicious authentic Puerto Rican food. Could not recommend this place enough.
