February 2022 update - I text this place to see if by chance it’s back open again and it’s not. Got a bit of a bad vibe from their short rude message, I would probably not check back with them again.

Hello friends!

We hope everything is fine with all of you! And besides, you are taking care of yourself and yours! Unfortunately, due to the global situation, we made a very difficult decision for ourselves, and we decided to close from now until JANUARY 2021. We have a family that is high risk and we must take care of their helth.

We really hope you understand our situation.

Keep feeling Pura Vida !! and we hope to see you in the near future, now it is time to take care of everyone.

Nous sommes revenus à Pura Van aprÚs avoir récupéré notre camping-car laissé en storage 10 mois à El Coco. Ivannia est toujours aussi sympathique et les lieux pratiques et accueillants! Elle connaßt bien la région et nous a conseillés certains spots à visiter!conseillé

Agree with all others - great spot and super helpful owner. Still $6 p/p. We stayed 2 nights and would go back.

If taking public transport ( which is close ) its a bit of a hike into town - the two buses combined with wait in between took us almost 2 hours each way but it is very cheap at least ( and we went during rush hour ).

Best spot we stayed at in C/R.

Camping highly recommended. Park wide, clean and safe. We stayed for 3 weeks in a private room that rented with private bathroom and kitchen access. Everything very nice and clean. Ivannia and Pablo are two incredible hosts. They helped us a lot with the start of our trip through Costa Rica. They contacted us with an excellent mechanic who repaired the engine of our 4x4. Honest and effective mechanic, hard to find. sure we will go through here again!

Very nice place. Good for big rigs. Relax. Pablo knows a good mechanic and places to buy parts. Close to Alajuela down town, airport and custom vehicle storage. Minimarket 2 min away. Big grassy field to park or camp. Pablo and Ivania are very helpful and friendly. Intenet, bathroom, shower, electricity, fruits from the trees and parrilla for asados. Highly recommended!

We leave today after staying here for the past 4 weeks. We needed work doing both inside and out on our rig.
Pablo and Ivannia have been fantastic. Can't thank or praise them enough for all the help they have given us whilst we have been here.

Confirm what others have said! A great relaxing place just outside the city. Very clean bathroom/shower and cooking area. Owners are very friendly and so are their dogs (3). Excellent place to stay while running errands in the city or to break up the drive from coast to coast. Highly recommend. Very reasonable price for Costa Rica too!

5000 C par personne et par nuit. Avec Ă©lectricitĂ©, Wifi, eau potable, douche, toilette. Chiens bienvenus. L’endroit est propre, entretenu. Plusieurs places pour garer tout types de vĂ©hicules sur un vaste terrain d’herbe grasse. Calme jour et nuit.
L’hĂŽte Pablo est vraiment trĂšs sympa et arrangeant, un homme de confiance. Il possĂšde une flotte de Van en location et peut vous conseiller pour rĂ©parer n’importe quel problĂšme sur votre vĂ©hicule via des mĂ©caniciens spĂ©cialisĂ©s (trĂšs bon prix).
L’endroit parfait pour une ou plusieurs nuit.

We stayed here in early June for a week before we returned to the UK for a 6 week holiday.
Returned today and received a warm welcome from Pablo and Ivannia. Will use this place as a base whilst we have some work done on our truck over the coming days.

We stayed on this Campsite three nights. We really liked this place and the owners are supernice! Toilet/Shower (very clean), fast Internet, sink and a lot of place with a roof which is very practical during the rainseason. Very nice grass ground and the owner told us, that we can eat the fruits from the trees around. We can totally recommend this place. Felt very welcomed and safe anyway.

Wonderful place to stay for anyone from big rigs to tents. Large and flat grassed area. Toilet & shower(cold). Kitchen area with sink and charcoal cooking. Large undercover area to keep you dry in the green season.
Friendly dogs and an abundance of fruit that you can pick.
Ivannia and Pablo are wonderful hosts and are an extremely helpful couple.

Arrived at one hour before sunset (Overlander crunch time) and found locked gate. No sign. No bell. Honked horn until someone approached. Man said it is not operational. Well, we just need a place to park for the night...... now in a bind. While this looks like a nice place (affiliated with a rental camper van company of same name)
