Description

Beautiful place in the green right on the lagoon. 100Pesos/Person with showers, toilets.
**Obligatory 60pesos to drive down the road. Access from the main road (which is also not rosy), the vegetation quite deep. With our 2.4m high vehicle no problem. From 3m you will probably strip the occasional shrub. The road is rather narrow so big rigs not. But we passed with pickup and camper and there was one lady with a 28’ camper but she said she had to put her mirrors in.
Place is sort of a trap though, as a foreigner im offended

Very nice place! The macaws visit us twice a day and let us photograph them in peace. The pool is refreshing and the food is delicious.
Our Exmo is 3.80 m high and you have no problems getting to the pitch.
100 pesos per person is also a fair price.

Nice place. Road is rough in places. I did it on a moto. Take your time & follow the arrows it’s quite a way in. Didn’t use showers but they are hot. Has WiFi. Dogs are ok be firm with them, but they’ll pee on your moto!!! Took a chair onto the dock and enjoyed the sunset. Very jungle like. Would come back.

The pool & the slide are very nice. The bathrooms & showers are not. I don’t think any of the doors lock & it’s really not pleasant to do your business in there. There’s very colorful birds around & the dogs REALLY want to play with you when you leave the bathrooms in the morning. They bite your legs & your hands. I gotta say it can be scary since they’re big dogs that just run & bark towards you. The burgers are also very good at the restaurant (120 pesos tho & the restaurant is open from 10am to 5pm).We didn’t have to pay the 60 pesos to drive on the road. It was 100 pesos per person to camp

Amazing place! We stayed here for three nights but could happily stay more. The view on the lake is beautiful and the pool is very cool. Everything is a bit old and could use some renovation, but it's still great and the toilets and pool are clean. Current costs: 100 pesos per night per person

We rented kayaks at the restaurant next to the campsite (Nanciyaga) to explore the lake, which was really beautiful. Price: 150 pesos per kayak per hour

TRIGGER WARNING, S*XUAL ASSAULT

We arrived here at around 17h30, got greeted by two dogs and Antonio. He showed us around and insisted to walk alone with my girlfriend but she clearly denied. Then, we went back to our truck to eat. At around 19h30, my girlfriend went on a walk to make a few phone calls. Antonio followed her around with a flashlight for a while and theb made his way up to her, smelling like booze and visibly drunk. He forcefully hugged her and kissed and then licked her neck. When she tried to get away, he grabbed her arm and tried to pull her back towards him. She had to run away back to our truck and then we left. I would absolutely never recommend this place to anyone, the owner is a creep and a p*rvert. Please don’t ever come here.

A wonderful place with kind, friendly owners. As others have said, Google maps directs you to an incorrect location. Use Maps.me or continue down the road several hundred meters until you see La Jungla’s sign. Please note that the road fee only applies to day use and not for campers. It has been raining hard for days and, though the puddles are big, the road base is excellent and sedan cars drove in. Our 3 meter tall van had no problems with low hanging branches. What a beautiful place! Highly recommend!

The road to the spot is horrible. Better come with a 4wd. It was all muddy and flooded so we weren't supposed to drive on the origin camp spot and had to stay on the parking lot. Originally we would like to stay a couple of nights but we were asked to leave the next day because they had a private event. With all of this an too many spiders all all over the place, they still charged 200 per night.... Wouldn't recommend it.

Amazing place! We could of stay there for the rest of our lifes :) Price is still 100pp for tent or car. there is also Cabanas.

We arrived in the evening. Thinking of staying one night. From the very first moment we felt at home. Cecilia wellcomed us and showd us the place, which is her home. Very fast Remi, Antonio and all the family that runs that place came to introduce themself and made us feel that we are part of the family now!
It was after resturant hours but still they offered us to eat because we where after long driving.
We stayed there 4 night and yet it was so hard to leave!! Every night we were seating with the family, talking, drinking, eating.. all night!
They gave us recomandetion of places to visit arround, helped us with the car, took us to a walk in the jungle ***its not an activity they do. They did it with us after few days of becoming friends. So if you want to ask about it, be very gentle please, they dont sell or offer tourists activities. They are just very friendly people with a big big heart***
We learned a lot from them.
we realy miss being arround this beautiful family!

At the daytime families arriving to the pools. After sunset it is very quiet. Also in the morning. Coffee on the laguna is the best! Sunsets are amazings too.
The place to park/ camp is not where the pools are, so you can have some privecy and quiet also at day time.
Showers are hot! And great.
No wifi but good cell reception.

Just go there!
We wish so much to come back.

If you are a nature lover, this place is a must go. Dry camping, no hook ups, no dumps. We parked our rig in a the nice grassy area in the middle of the jungle, right on the shores of the Catemaco Lake.
Monkeys, guacamayas and other animals are your neighbors. Several beautiful pools filled with fresh water and even one with a great slide ( really fun )!
100mxn per person, didn’t charge for our two kids under 5 …
Good restaurant too !
This is THE place to chill and relax in the middle of the jungle ! We and our kids absolutely loved it ! ( watch out for the ants bites ;-))

It was pouring rain when we entered, just going for a ride to stay dry... we arrived at the end of the road and they made us pay 60 pesos per person just to use the road. it seems like a trap, probably because i said i was American. he didn't ask up front for the 60. he made conversation invited us to look around. we didn't even want to get out of the car and we still had to pay.
his excuse was that it's family property (he's not even local to the area) and it's a balneario (he mentioned the pools were empty two days ago) and now they're filled from the rain. so we're paying for pools filled by rain?? it wasn't logical. he was trying to be friendly but it's a trap. only go if you're SURE you'll be staying there. 800MXN to stay in the cabins and camping isn't worth it unless it's dry season. if you want to go to for a long jungle ride go for it, just turn around whenever you see the bienvenido sign. you'll pay for your 5 minute drive.

clean grassy field to dry camp. clean toilet and shower but bring your own Toilet paper. no toilet seat either

it's nice to chill for a couple of days but making it to the site is rough with the narrow road and full vegetation.

as expected, lots of mosquitoes, spiders and bugs in area/ washrooms

price was $100 per person.

March 2022 - as described, lovely staff friendly dogs, cold showers, clean toilets and ample parking. The road in takes about 15 minutes to negotiate slowly. Follow the most well worn route and take it slowly. The road is rocky and firm and as of this date all vegetation has been cut back. Our Promaster van had no problems and neither did a larger French overland truck ( Nissan 400). 100 pesos per person no hookups. Excellent stop.

Amazing place. We payed 100 pesos per person and the owners are nice people. One of the highlights of our trip so far.

Beautiful spot. Plenty of space to park. The lagoon is gorgeous and the pools are very pretty, though we didn’t get to swim in them because we camped here when they were draining them to clean (which they do once a week!). Surprisingly, mosquitos were not a problem here!

Their onsite restaurant with a limited menu is open from 10am-5pm. Let them know you want breakfast and they might open a little bit earlier for you. Coffee, fruit plate and eggs (Mexican style) with blacks beans and tortillas for 100p a person.

Very nice family that runs the place and it is family/dog friendly (two very sweet German Shepherds on property got along great with our dog).

Nous avons passé un très bon moment à la jungla. La famille est adorable et nous a super bien accueilli! On a fait un tour de barque pour nous 5 avec d’autres pers pour 500 pesos. Cela nous a permis de découvrir les petites îles sur le lac et ses habitants!
Lors de notre séjour, il faisait très très froid mais ce petit paradis doit être encore plus agréable avec ces piscines pour se désaltérer.sur place, on peut boire un verre ou déjeuner sur le pouce. On a pu également faire le plein d eau . Je recommande ce lieu la végétation est magnifique et il y a une multitude d oiseaux … Arras rouge ..

Absolutely beautiful place. There are two dogs but are very friendly with other dogs. The pool and water slide are very fun. I used to come here when I was a kid and had the best time. You can go to the small boat parking (dont know the word) and stop one of the tour boats for a quick (and cheaper?) tour of the lake. Not much vegetarian food options but there are some. There is good cell reception but no wifi

Very nice place, we stayed here 2 nights! 100pesos per person per night, no problems for us to arrive with our fiat ducato 2.6mt high but we really crossed our fingers that we wouldn't cross any other vehicle on the Jungla! Best place to see macaws, they are there on the morning and on the afternoon. If you have time, don't miss the restaurant just next to the camping (Reserva Ecológica) as it's delicious! Very good breakfast! To get there you have to do all the road back and take the right road at the entrance!

A beautiful camping directly on the lake. You can not swim in the lake because of the crocodiles. But it has three pools and a slide. Showers, toilet and restaurant. We had macaws in the trees above our tent. There are monkeys on the islands in the lake. You can take a boat tour 500 pesos there or better rent kayaks and paddle there yourself. You just paddle to where all the boats are, there are the monkeys.

This is our second time in La Jungla and we really like it. The place is great for kids, a couple of swimming pools, the lake, the birds... You can hear the monkeys. The owners are really nice and speak good English. 80 pppn and you can charge water (but it's better if you filter it first).

Wow! One of our best spots in nature here in Mexico 👍we could stay for weeks there but we'd to organize our earlier shipment from Veracruz due the Corona spreading - so we had just two wonderful days in this little paradise; we saw and heard so many beautiful birds, also howler monkeys and saw a big 3m+ crocodile..so be careful when you go for swimming in the lake😏the road or better the nature, the jungle to get into is breathtaking; the price (80pesos per person and night) is really cheap for such a great location and benefits of hot showers and flushing toilets! We highly recommend this this wonderful and magical place! Perfect location to sit out the virus😉

Lovely area to see monkeys and birds a real jungle feel right on the lagoon. The road in is not that bad we made it in with a 21ft/ 2.8high front wheel drive :)
A few vines hanging down but they won’t do any damage to your vehicle, it was raining when we arrived a little muddy but nothing to worry about, rec to come in daylight hours. Google maps coming from catemaco will take you to a closed gate keep going down the road a little further til you come to a sign on the right.....la jungla we posted a pic :)
Still 80 pesos per person. Bathrooms/ showers, pool and we also filled our rv up with water....you need your own hose. Boats available from the pontoon that will take you around the lagoon.
Great walking around the area to view more animals.

Still 80 Pesos pppn. A wonderful place near the lake. You can see a lot of birds and monkeys on the campground. The road was a little wet when we arrived. But absolutely no problem for a 3,30 m high car. The Restaurant is o.k. if you like Hamburgers.

Very nice place! And Antonio, Cecilia and Remy are very, very, very friendly. And they have two friendly German Shepherd dogs, Choco and Taco.
But.... this place is hard to reach with our truck. We're 3.65 high, 7.20 long and 2.50 wide. We managed it, but sometimes we needed to remove some branches and lianas. But it's worth to do it. It"s a wonderful place and we did see some monkeys and macaws. For our dog it was a paradise.

Stayed 2 nights. Really cool little jungle site. Nice pools filled with spring water. Bathrooms are okay. Say tons of birds including a Tucan and some macaws. Paid 80per person per night. Not to hot in the evening this time of year!

Nice secluded area right by the lake. Paid 160 pesos for two with a camper van. Shower was not working but Rémi, the very friendly owner, let us use the showers in one of the empty cabanas. Large pools with water slides, but not functional when we were there. The road to get there is quite narrow and bumpy, with hanging branches. Can be quite muddy after rainfall. No wifi but cel signal worked, although weak.

Great place, 10/10, would return. Clean bathrooms, laundry/dish sink, pool was amazing with a fun slide. Macaws every morning and you can hear the howler monkeys in the distance. Walk back through the jungle early to catch other birds. We didn’t have any problem driving in with our 3m van, just take it slow. Large grassy area to camp, but there are a lot of shady areas, so be aware if you need solar. Owner speaks English, we didn’t get the WiFi when we were there. Slow telcel reception. Fantastic, spent three nights here, would have easily spent a few more. Paid 80 pesos per person, per night. Recommended.

Very nice and friendly family that has this jungle campground. Small, lots of trees. From the main road it’s 1km through the jungle (bit scary if you arrive later because it’s so dark and many splits in the road but they all lead to the campground !).
Hot showers, cool animal noises and respective animals such as birds and monkeys. 80pp a night. No dump. Very very quiet and nice!!! Go take a look!!

Fantastic place! Everything has already been said. I managed (VERY SLOWLY) to drive in, in a 25' Class C towing a car. I would not advise it for a vehicle 28 ft and longer. I should have driven the car in seperate. It's only 3/4 of a mile in. But everything was ok. I drove very slow with mirrors in and made it no problem. Road in is not great but it's a jungle road. Take care at the gate. There are rocks and some cement sticking out that could damage. Just be aware. There are a couple sharp turns but was able to swing wide. And also a couple of squeezes that has the soft leaves of the jungle rubbing. Lots of space to choose sun or shade. No height problems once at the camp. The drive in and out was worth it for the time I was there. I will be stopping in again on my way back. Cost 80 pesos/per day.

Report Check-In

The place is defenitely still open and it's beautiful! We enjoyed the stay there very much. A lot of birds around the camp including macaws.
NOTE: Google Maps first led us to a white closed gate, which is not the entry of the Jungla camp. If you're coming from Catemaco and see the gate, it is a little bit further down the street on your right handside. There's a sign with a crocodile. You have to drive quite a bit through the jungle until you get to the camp.

The previous comments about this place are more than accurate. It’s beautiful. It was a nice change of scenery to leave the beaches and be in a jungle environment. As far as jungle environment goes we didn’t have any problems with bugs. We walked through the woods and had eventful wildlife viewing in which we saw monkeys, an array of beautiful birds a large crocodile and a band of small mammals the locals called Tejón. We enjoyed Antonio’s company. He was very kind and talkative. 80MXN per person

Very nice campground in the middle of the jungle. Toilets and showers are clean but not very modern. Very nice swimming pool with fresh spring water, good for a cool down on a hot day. The owner Antonio is very friendly and explained everything around (trees, birds,etc.). Many parrots (red macos) and several other animals around.

Report Check-In

The name „La Jungla“ fits very well! Nice setting between big trees on a grassy spot on the shore lake. Loads of wildlife around you as mentioned (macaws, orupendula, kingfisher, monkeys, etc.).
Flush toilets and showers, everything not really clean and definitely outdated but we’ve seen way worse in Mexico... Concrete pool with 2 slides (one looking a bit creepy with all the rust but friendly owner Antonio assured that they can be used 😊).

Report Check-In

Arrived just before sunset and not a single person around. When Antonio got home that evening he came and welcomed us. However by Saturday it was full! Amazingly no one was rude or up late partying.
We had a wonderful time and loved seeing the Montezuma oropendolas.
The pool with rope swing was a blast. I was hesitant to get in at first (doesn’t look the cleanest) but our family of four all did it and it was fun and refreshing.
We were not brave enough to swim in lake but four Germans did and no issues.
We also waved a boat down for a tour. It was a lot of money 800 pesos for our family of 4. I have mixed feelings. It was nice to be out on the lake but too much money.
Catemaco has everything you’d need but it is a drive and no restaurant or tienda on-site so I suggest bringing ample food.
Be prepared for how run down this place is though. It’s such a great spot but neither slide worked while we visited and it’s not the cleanest.

What a magic place with all it’s sounds and sights especially at dusk and dawn! And Antonio, the owner, is a really nice guy and makes you feel very welcome. We flagged a boat down coming by and joined a tour (MEX$ 150 per person for about 2 hours; well worth it).

All as described before, however you do not see the lake from the campground. You can place your camper close (5 to 10m) to the lake but you can not really see or access it directly because of dense vegetation. For that you need to go to the floating dock.

Beautiful place with so many birds and monkeys. one of last intact pieces of rain forest around beautiful Lake Catemaco. Grass was mowed nicely and even though it's mid April, it cooled down really nicely at night. Came here in 24 ft RV. No problem with clearance. entrance road is bumpy and slow going but solid even after the rain. The fellows trying to scam you on the road, as noted below, are still there -2 sets so it must work for them sometimes. it's pretty half hearted attempt, just drive on through. well worth the effort to get here. Unique experience.

Beautiful area, price of $80 per person, per night seems very fair.

Awesome place to kayak or sup. Flocks of Makaws flying overhead and in the trees, howler monkeys in the early AM.

The weather was nice while we were there, but I'd imagine it can get pretty hot in the summers...

We came in off the 145d from the West and were told by a man just outside of Tilapan that the road was impassable. He also seemed to want a ride in the opposite direction, so we told him we'd chance it. Shortly after, two guys tried to wave us over, but hadn't even looked at the two local rigs in front of us so we just waved and smiled innocently (my favorite tactic) and drove past.

The road was pretty rough up until about there, but actually became really nice not long after. Not sure what they were playing at, but it sounds like we're not the only ones to be messed with. The road is good and most everyone friendly. it's an awesome area.

Drive trough the jungle and you will be there! Nice spot at the lake and in the middle of the jungle. The host is super friendly. You can camp on a grasy spot unter trees. Lot of birds to see (we had 3 Ara’s in the evening). Price is 80 pesps per people/night.

Excellent forest retreat. The host is a great guy! Price is fair.
At the driveway, where you will see a sign for La Jungla, there are 2 roads going into the trees... Be sure to follow the one on the left. The gat may be closed and appear chained, but you should be able to remove the chain. Close after you pass through. The road will appear to branch off but those are just exit routes (probably for busier times, to alleviate traffic on the otherwise single-lane driveway). Any which way you choose goes to the campground.
We did it with a trailer 3.5 meters tall. The problem would be length... There are some turns and hills to navigate. Rigs longer than 9 meter will have trouble. Of course we touched the trees/bushes but no damage at all.

Yes, we agree, it is a very nice spot. Scenic views, the waterslide is great and we enjoyed the pool. Owner very friendly. Showers/Toilets not cleaned for a very long time therefore we did not use them.

Incredible place to stay! Just watch the entrance because google Maps may try to turn you in a bit earlier. No doubt, being overlanders, you'll drive a bit further and find the entrance. Personal note: we had some uniformed locals in Catemaco offer to escort us because of "road closures". Not saying that there hasn't been any recent closures but getting to this place without assistance was easy (along a sealed road). Follow the usual navigation from Catemaco, look for the signs La Jungla, take the road closest to the sign and just keep driving straight into the jungle after turning off. It goes in a fair way but keep going. Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous! you Park in a grassy area next to the lagoon with trees surrounding you. there are toilets and showers in the camping area that are fine- a lot of bugs in the bathrooms but you're in the jungle! we saw macaws in the nearby trees and a huge pack of howler monkeys! the host Antonio is lovely and makes the stay so much nicer. the pools are older but refreshing and lovely, we went on the huge water slide- yeah it's old but it is ridiculously fun! we also saw a crocodile in the lagoon but Antonio said they're small and not big like in Australia 😉😉 haha! recommend highly! the dirt road in is fun but not as bad as others make it out to be, we did it in a 20ft 1985 RV with no problems even after a big rain. we filled up with water and plugged into the bathrooms with an extension lead! other overlanders here in a big vehicle with no tree clearance issues.

- very nice location in lush vegetation
- lake, concrete pool and slide, tobogan (looks abandoned and quite dangerous)
- the road to the campground leads through a dense jungle - would be tricky for anything higher than 3 m (but is quite fun, especially at night)
- you can see all kinds of animals here if you are lucky, we saw an armadillo, dozens of birds and a pack of hawler monkeys (one of them visited us at night, rocking the van as it tried to get inside, probably smelling something interesting)
- DO NOT TAKE MEX179 TO GET HERE, the road is practically non-existent (December 3rd 2013), potholes the size of your wheel, sometimes completely washed away, very dangerous looking bridge, etc.

Beautiful place in the green right on the lagoon. 80Pesos/Person with showers, toilets. Access from the main road (which is also not rosy), the vegetation quite deep. With our 2.4m high vehicle no problem. From 3m you will probably strip the occasional shrub.

Fantastic campsite in the jungle overlooking the lake. We saw toucans and howler monkeys in the morning. Small restaurant with delicious hamburgers, natural swimming pools and water slides with spring water. It is also a great destination for a day trip (50 pesos / day / person). Access through the jungle is very narrow and bumpy!

(Normally 80 pesos / day / person, but because the shower house was renovated and was not available, we have only 60 pesos / day / person paid)
