No overnight for vans, only tent and cabanas. we asked today, March 26 and they told us to go to Amigos down the road.

We sleept for 2 nights ( 06-08.03.2023) with our RV on the Parking lot, which is levelled, big rig friendly and lights and a security camera. They charged us the 8,75 USD per Person. This is absolute ok, because you have Hot clean Shower, clean toilet with seat and paper and a beautiful pool with mosquito protection. You have also free drinking water and WiFi at the dining room. The Staff are sooo friendly. Perfect place for bird watching. You will find some hikes around the Center. Here are a lot of Parrots and sometime Owls. Walking to the Zoo ~15/20 Minutes

we wanted to stay overnight here with our camper but they didn't let us. they told us that the last RVs got stuck in the camping area. we asked if we could then stay at the parking lot for one night - but it was not ok either; at least they let us shower before we left.

Nous entrons dans le site et nous stationnons près des dortoirs, de la piscine et des sanitaires.
C’est seulement 35 $belizéen pour la nuit pour 2 personnes. Nous n’avons pas besoin d’électricité ni d’eau d’autant qu’il y a des douches bien chaude.
Le seul problème est qu’on se fait manger par des moucherons minuscules qu’on ne sent qu’une fois qu’ils ont piqué.
Je n’ai pas testé mais il semble que l’eau de la piscine est assez froide.
Je n’ai pas utilisé le wifi car Starlink capte toujours le satellite 😜

Another vote for this awesome place. We camped, fantastic showers, toilets etc. Massive pool, which is protected from bugs! Had a swim all to myself. Staff so friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant, one tip, if possible try and book restaurant before you arrive if possible. There is a set meal with set price, dietry options. Wifi good in restaurant. Can walk to Zoo from here.

This place deserves more credit. It's still $8.75pp and Carlos showed us around and let us set up next to the pool in our rooftop tent. He also shared so much information on the wildlife. We got to see tapirs but couldn't spot the Croc in the pond, he must have felt shy! They have a huge dining room with WiFi and hot showers. A must visit if passing through

looks wonderful, but due to issues with pets and the wildlife, pets are no longer allowed.

Amazing place! Still 8.72 USD per persons. With our High Top Toyota Land Cruisers we were able to camp in the nice grassy camping area. The hot showers with good pressure were the best we had in a long time. Clean Toilets with fitting toilet seats and toilet paper (we come from Mexico so we really appreciate this). Nice swimmingpool, a pond with a croc. The owners were really extremely nice!! Free tea and coffee in the dining area and they cook very good food (better tell them in advance if you eat at the restaurant, as there is no menu, they just cook the same for everyone).
Use bug spray, in this whole area there are nasty botlass flies around that will bite you!

Beautiful place in the middle of nature. Clean pool and sanitary facilities. They allow RV's only in the parking lot. We were lucky and stayed close by the pool but the way in is small. We are 3.5m high, more than that is impossible! Restaurant serve dinner but only on booking.

The manager was super friendly and let me stay as bicycle tourist for free because of low season. The area is super nice for camping. The pool is good, you have some banks and table and the bathrooms are super big and modern as described. Would definitely recommend it. Camping 8 bz the night.

Report Check-In

As described; Nice area next to the zoo with nice common areas with water/tea/coffee all the time. We camped next to the pool area with our truck with RTT. The woman at the office wanted to have 5US $ for the pool. We left to the zoo and came back after it and paid the camping fee to another guy, he said that it doesn't cost any money to use the pool... Anyway it's a nice and quit stay! A bit expensive with 34 BZ $ for 2 people.

17,5$ belizien par personne pour la nuit. Nous avons négocié ce prix pour 2 personnes et un chien. C’est un simple parking sans ombre et le site n’est pas fermé mais sous vidéo surveillance. Depuis le parking vous avez accès à l’électricité seulement avec une rallonge de 15/20 mètres, ce dont nous ne disposions pas. Douche et toilettes. L’accès au wifi est seulement dans la zone office et restaurant, mais il est correct. Des boissons sont comprises dans le prix (café, thé, eau, jus d’orange). Les petites randonnées sont quelconques et trop proche de la route. Le staff est très sympa.

Beautiful quiet place to stay a little longer. The staff ist so nice and helpful and make your stay really comfortable. We have a small camper van and could camp next to the pool. Clean and good working facilities, shower is hot! Internet works great. Lots of birds to see and the trails are short and easy with different vegetation. 35,- BZ for two people in a camper. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner also available. Drinking water, tea, coffee available for free the whole day. We loved this place!

A nice place, worth spending a little more time beyond just sleeping. Drove overv after the zoo. They have several hiking trails. We checked in at the office with Juan Carlos and told him we had visited the zoo that day and he didn't charge us for breakfast the next morning.
Parked next to the pool.
Once the WiFi started working in the office/dining area it was great.

Nice place, same price. Very fast wifi, clean pool away any mosquitos or flies, very great shower, friendly people and very good wifi around the office and in the dining room. A few little hikes to do for stretch your legs if you want. Perfectly located for the zoo. Do not follow maps.me, the entrance is now on the highway, after the zoo on the right if you come from Belmopan.

Wonderfull!
The place is entirely based around animals conservacy / observation.
The zoo only has injurys or ancient pet animal that saved and can't live in wild. So it's more than a simple zoo, they really teach you about conservation! The night tour defenetly worth it!
By the way...the hot shower...after a month without hot shower?! Oh... Ahah.
Stay free

Lovely spot. Hot, clean showers. We parked next to the pool, I think because no one else was around, so it was super peaceful waking up to hear only birds. The zoo night tour was really interesting, definitely recommend it! This place will drive you to the zoo for the tour at 7pm.

The facility's are very nice. Best shower of our entire trip. Hot, good pressure and private space that's dry to get dressed in. We never visited the Zoo but saw a nice amount of wild life during our 4 nights stay...still waiting on our mail in Belize City. Staff is very nice, and meals are responsible priced. No good food store near by so we ran out of supplies and ate there twice. Food was ok. Free coffee, tea, and drinking water. There are a couple short hiking trails we took our dog on. There is a pond with turtles, fish and a small crocodile named pirate due to him missing an eye. I highly recommend this place for a night or two. Camping in your car is as others said. We hooked up to electricity for no extra charge. We have 50 meters of extention cord and barely made it to the plug, but we did. 8.75 usd per person to camp.

Just a note, electricity is available (no extra cost) if you've got a long extension cord and park as close to the bathrooms as possible (while still being in the parking lot). Our son had no problems with his tent, but he's got a cot, too. All gravel. A few bugs. Some fun trails full of birds.

Closest place to stay by the Belize Zoo. Good place to camp, brand new bathrooms with gigantic showers and covered picnic tables. Lots of people stay here in the cabins to do the night tour of the zoo. We went during the day and saw everything but the spider monkeys. Electricity available only in the office.

Everything you would expect from a nice place to stay : covered picnic tables; clean new bathrooms; powerful hot showers; (Very slow) free WIFI at the Office; some beautiful trails.

just a couple of km's from the Zoo which costs $ 30 BZ entrance fee per person, however the money is worth it. Close to the Zoo is another, beautiful place to stay, the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, however, they ask BZ $ 15 / person plus tax.

(Originally $ 10.90 BZ / person)
