Santa Maria Volcano Lodge | Established Campground

price per person is now $10 pp. We haggled it down to $7.50 pp but it's expensive for what you get. they told us to set up our tent (we are bike touring) in a covered area where they are drying corn. we ended up tenting in a different covered area with hammock and table to justify the price and no one told us to leave. we noticed in the morning there were workers already processing the corn in the area we were told to camp at 5:30 am. definitely not worth the price here. There is a community center and park 300 meters downhill on the main road from here. we wish we asked permission to camp there....

This was a beautiful setting under a massive tree. While we were here, they trimmed some branches and raised the power line so that now 11 feet 9 inches clearance can pass because we are that tall! We didn't hike from here, just walked the road. Staff very friendly. Restaurant here but we didn't use it.

They offer food at the restaurant and cabines to sleep but the owners were OK to let us camp with our roof tent on the 4x4 on their area, close to their event room. Cold shower and toilets are available + wifi at the restaurant only.
The area is beautiful, well-maintained and peaceful. The owners were super nice and friendly, the food is also very good.
They also offer farm tour in a typical Costa Rican family. Good stop before doing the chocolate tour at La Finca Anita we were doing the next morning.
We paid 10$ for 2 people and 1 night.
