Something not right?

Description

We were trying to find another national park that we were recommended (arcotete) when we stumbled across this place. 10 peso per person entry into the park, and 30 per person for camping the night. Beautiful green grass and lots of families picnicing for the weekend. There is a restaurant on site, a massive cave (10p pp) and a zipline over a creek. There were fireflies at night, pretty!

Recommend avoiding camping here. The day guard will instruct you to pay at the store for the camping fee. The night guard 'Luis' will come over demanding a second payment and won't leave. Overall, not worth the hassle of staying here.

Cheapest place to camp near town, they charged me 50p to park in the big grassy field. Toilets are 5p extra. The cave was cool for another 10p. No showers, no wifi, just a place to park. No shade really either, unless you get one of the palapa tent spots. Price could probably be negotiated down.

Cave is awesome.

The parking lot is huge and leveled.
At 9.30pm we were a bit worried because we saw people running at the edge of the forest with flashlights. At some point they shot something. They stayed a while and moved on.

We think they might have shot an animal. But it's uncommon that they would use flashlights to go hunting.
We stayed anyway and had a good night afterwards.

10 pesos p/p to park, 10 p/p to visit, 30 p/p to camp. Great place, big rig ok, alone all night and very quiet.

Large, flat area for camping. Better toilets than Arcotete.

Cave, canoes, zipline. Overall better for camping than Arcotete but Arcotete has better attractions.

Lovely park. Place to ourselves at night. Paid 60pesos for two people to camp. Mildly visible from the road but felt very safe.
Scouted out the grutas in the am - very neat and definitely worth the 10pesos each!
Interesting to see grass kept up NOT by animals ;)
And FLUSH TOILETS! we parked at the far end from the entrance and had flush toilets not labeled to pay, and a sink with running water and soap!
