La Escama | Established Campground

The location is great & that’s about it. They are still working on the showers & the bathrooms are gross. They are infested with cockroaches, the trash can is full, there’s no toilet seat, you gotta flush it with a bucket & their idea of a door is a ripped see through curtain. Mosquitoes are all over the place.
For the lovely price of 100pp this place can be yours for the night

Get ready to get ShhAakkkEe on the road to get there from the highway 200, it is pretty slow (no more than 10~20km/hour) due to the tractor track - it’s like if you getting thought 1 million TOPE. BUT, the place is pretty cute and cheap to stay (we pay 200 pesos/night), that being said, it’s ok if you want to pass by but for 5 days trip and more, might be not ideal:
1- They don’t have much space with shades on the site
2 - They don’t have running water for your van (only a sink where you can fill a hot shower bag)
3 - they don’t have shower YET (I think they are renovating, see my pictures)
4 - The toilet is very basic (no cover and you need to flush by adding water)
5 - Since it’s a lagoon, you got Moskitos in the morning and at night.
6 - They have a small restaurant which is expensive (200 for a basic hamburger) and only 1 or 2 other choice available.
7 - Getting food in the village is very limited, only few few options. More option in the island in front.
8 - No ATM around, you need to pay cash. Only option if you need money is to go on the island and pay 10% interest rate in convenience store : « Christian » (they other shop on the island is 15% interest 💰)

The place is really quiet and we are literally alone but we wouldn’t stay here that long if we didn’t had to work during the day … the spot is very beautiful tho ..

On a side note, they only speak Spanish ✌️

Es un hotel-restaurante con área para camping, un lugar muy agradable, tienes una vista espectacular, todo el día, tanto el dueño, como el chico que está a cargo, son muy amables. vale la pena visitar.

Great place for rv, campings and they have a little hotel. Everything clean and the owners are very good people. The wifi is fast and the place is just in front of the lagoon. They have spaces for big rv. By far the best place of the zone.
