Something not right?

Description

Cabanas, a teepee and a few places to park your rig. Really cool, nicely kept campground in the jungle. More hostel-y vibe than the pervasive spring break resort climate of most places around.

$600 mex (now 300 pppn) Clean bathrooms with an outdoor kitchen and warm showers.

Cool caves and a cenote right on the property.

The owner's name is Don Renzo, a Dutch expat.
UPDATE: Unfortunately Don passed away in 2020. His daughter is now running the place. Nicole

Short walk to the village, about 20 minute walk to the beach and many free cenotes Great place to stay and relax. We stayed because it is the only option with dog in this area. Nice quiet place.

great place and lovely Mexican staff, spoke briefly to the owners - very nice. I had the camping area to myself, the dogs were a bit agressive at first, but as soon as they were taken of the leash to roam they were very sweet! Still 200, warm showers, WiFi at the kitchen, coffee and water. kitchen is right at the front, camping is a 5 minute walk away, in case you don't like dogs

Beautiful spot, but NOT dog friendly if you have a male dog. I met with whom I think was one of the owners, Nicole, who was very friendly. They have 2 big males, I think they're bull mastiffs, that roam free, and apparently have been aggressive to make dogs, so they wouldn't let me camp there. My dog is neutered, and great with all animals, kids, etc, but he's an 85 lb German Shepherd, so I can understand her being cautious. I don't want an incident to happen anymore than they do, and like I said, really seems like a great spot, but should NOT be noted as dog friendly on here.

Wow… this is a truly magical place. Once here you are almost entering a new world. A world of love, patience and understanding. Oscar and his partner have ran this place together for the last 2 year after the passing of Nicoles father.

If you need any form of healing. Mind. Body. Spirit. This is where you should come. After my time here I am leaving a better man. A better husband and a better father. The people here are healers and very good at what they do.

Aside from my growth, I was able to fit inside with my 13m 10,000kg (41’ 22,000lb) skoolie. It was extrémalo tight and some places I only had about 1-2” of wiggle room to drive through however, I made it in. They do have electricity however please don’t use high amperage things such as AC or similar consumption as it will shut the entire system down.

There are caves to explore, jungle to see and just peace to feel. Highly highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. ✌🏻❤️

200 pesos pp for tent camping (i am by bicycle). Oscar is providing DMT sesión if you are interested in such experience. Nice place to spend couple of days

He wanted 600 pesos for two people. We stayed because it is the only option with dog in this area. Nice quiet place.

We stayed 2 nights in this Campground on our CamperVan, was nice and Nicole the howner was really friendly. Gate wa closed but we just hat to wait 5min that they open it. Price is 400pesos for the space with the van, and 200pesos if a person is in a tent,prices went up, with the excuse of "hight season", we were alone.. Nice provate cenote (we didn't swim in it) nice are for yoga or sport practice, bathroom are very clean, shower very good with hot water! It is a bit expensive, but the place is nice, you sleep in the middle of jungle with iguanas!

Very nice place in the jungle! And Rens ' Don Renzo' is a very friendly guy and he has two friendly dogs. There is wifi but you've to sit in the jungle at the entrance. The shower is really hot. There is a small cenote. It is a little bit hard to reach the campspot with our big truck. Rens helps with a lot if you need something. For our dog it was a paradise! Highly recommended!!!

Nice camping place with hot shower, kitchen, fire place, area to hang out. The cenote is really small but otherwise the place is great to relax or just spend the night.

Very nice quiet place but had to stay in our Rv because of the many Moskito! Horrible!

Report Check-In

Really nice place. Friendly guy. Nice bathrooms. Plenty of space for a big rig. They're working on building a mossie-free social area (under nets) which is nearly done. Will be great for people without their own inside area - mossies are indeed fierce there in the jungle!! Price 150pesos pppn is reasonable for this part of Mexico.

Great spot for the night! The property is really interesting, with the small cenote and the cave we stumbled upon right next to our spot. Nice bathrooms, outdoor kitchen. Very pretty property! The mosquitos were awful at dusk and dawn though, and also, we saw a HUGE scorpion walking around our site so beware!

Just stopped for one night so we can visit Tulum first thing in the morning. Nice spot in the Jungle. 100PP + 25 pesos for electricity. Nice and quiet, great owner. Clean bathroom, cold shower. Centre and caves. A really cool spot, worth the visit. Our 23’ rig 10’9” clearance was fine, some low branches, but no problem.

Don Renzo was a really great host. We enjoyed the cenote, did our laundry and hung out in the communal space around the caves. Bring mozzie repellent, then you will have loads of fun 🙃

like the other description. A private cenote (not the best but fun near to the bivouac and some turtle inside). Collective pit fire and outside kitchen. Very nice owner.

Great spot! All kinds of caverns around the place which they light up at night! Clean bathrooms, electricity available. The dogs are friendly. Just remove the chain. Definitely a breeze from the Tulum area.

Adding photos. BTW- mosquitoes are present here!

100pesos per person with water, electric. Clean bathroom/shower. Private cenote. Well lit caves to check out. Palapa, BBQ, fire pit. We fit in (11 ft tall- 8ft wide) with branches touching. But not much space to turn at end, and two rigs filled it up. Dogs okay. No wifi. Good cell signal.

As described. When we arrived the chains were on the gate like they were closed with several barking dogs at the gate. My husband bravely entered the gates by lifting the chains and went to the reception area. We were able to stay the night 100 peso/person. Nothing extra for electricity. We drove all the way down the dirt roads towards the teepee and cenote as we were told one of the dogs was territorial (we have 2 dogs). We had no issues. Quiet. Bathrooms OK. COld shower. Cenote not swimmable - covered in algae. Place was creepishly empty and quiet. Due to lack of other places to stay in the area with the dogs, we opted to stay.

Such a great spot! We loved it, beautiful, tranquil and relaxed. Owner is awesome. Spot to use gas stove in kitchen area and place to wash dishes. Nice bathrooms and showers. Super cute town nearby, 15 min walk with grocery and a few good restaurants. La palapa was great for us and pizza place was good too. Would def go back!

Nice camping area amongst landscaped jungle, near caves and a cenote. Also cabanas and tipi available. Clean showers, friendly host, and 100 pesos per person. Nice beach and cenotes close by, we enjoyed our stay here and think it's a great stop between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum.

Beautifull, quiet campground on busy coast. Camped with our "private" cenote, nice swimming. Limited spots available for smaller (<25ft) rigs. Friendly owner with two friendly dogs. Intent to stay only one night, left after 3 nights. Clean showers and restrooms.

$100 mex pp/noche. Clean bathrooms with an outdoor kitchen and warm showers.

Not tons of spaces for rigs, probably best for smaller (truck camper and under) size outfits.

Short walk to the village, about 20 minute walk to the beach. Great place to stay and relax.
