El Portal | Established Campground

March 10th, 2024 by compasschronicle.com

We spent 2 nights here. Very crowded with day visitors on the weekend, very quiet during the week. However, most of the restaurants, cafes and kiosks are only open on weekends! The whole facility is a bit old and is not very well maintained/cleaned. There is a type of mosquito like sand fleas on the camper lawn! Our legs were very bitten!
We paid 60,000 pesos per night per camper.

nice place to stay. also possible with big rigs, you then need to cross a little river to get to the lawn where the camping is. for us no problem at all. price is 30.000 COP per night and you are allowed to use the pool, shower and toilets. electricity available as well. we didn't use it as our fuses pop out every time we use the electricity in Columbia.

We are camped here right now with permission from the administration and there are others here too. Restaurant and pool are open as well.

We camped here one night. We paid 60,000 COP plus a credit card fee for two adults and one child. The camping area is a nice grassy lawn. The quietest place we’ve camped since leaving Cartagena. I’m guessing it can get busy and loud on the weekends. There is a big bathroom with showers and toilets for the swimming pool guests. It was dirty after the weekend. I think they must pump the natural water into the showers because the water comes out distinctly brown. We didn’t use the showers. I think the biggest drawback is where the bathrooms are relative to the camping area. They are located across a high bridge and the whole thing is pitch dark at night. You might be better off using the brushy area behind the camping. There is an area for fishing and a rustic playground. We did have dinner at the restaurant, but probably wouldn’t again. Overall, it’s an option to consider, though I might look around at the other places in the area before staying again. The grounds are extensive with lots of room to explore.

Beautiful property with wide open spaces for all size camping rigs. Hotel, restaurant, hiking trails, swimming pool (river water), kids playground, friendly staff. There is a large pond fed by local springs that has picnic area, wildlife (peacocks, macaws, ducks, geese, fish). Trails are maintained, bathrooms are super clean, showers are ICE cold. Electricity available for camping. 24 hour security, guard gated entrance. Quiet area definitely worth a few nights. 40 minutes north of Bucaramanga. 25k per person to camp. WiFi in restaurant is fast. This place is really awesome.

Beautiful location. Staying for just an overnight would be a shame, because there are walking trails that should be explored. Very relaxing, not too busy on the weekend we were here. Cool at night, hot in the day, bathrooms Super clean, good wifi. Did not charge for our 4 year old who loved the playground, the fishing pond (caught two), and playing in the creek. Also gave us discount of 20k pp, did not say why, perhaps because we came late in the evening? Or off season?

Nice place to camp but in my opinion a bit too expensive for just an overnight stop. We paid 30k p.P. The pools are ok and filled with river water, so you don't see anything. Friendly stuff? Don't know because they had other things to do...phone, WhatsApp, etc.

Still good, clean and quiet. Friendly staff. We arrived arround 7pm and it was allready dark, so we were searching the entrance a bit. But coming from Bucaramanga it’s s easier to find, on the right side, 50m after a big advertisement.

Pretty much one of those places you just walk around and think does it get more beautiful than this. If your looking for a place in the area come here. By far one of my favorite spots. Camping is 30k per person, good food, great natural pools and beautiful property.

Pro: Very nice place, best to relax. Cons: In low season dirty swimmingpool , bagno closed, no service, expensiv.

Nice place. Confirm what others already wrote about it. Pulled in on a Sunday and it was quiet at all.

With a small Campervan is possible to enter the camping Area A, i stayd under the Trees close to the Toiletts. At this place The Wifi was very good. Beautiful place to relax.

large well maintained grounds. We visited on a Sunday and it was quiet. wifi a bit patchy.

You might think 30,000 is expensive but when you see the grounds and the number of people working on them you realise why. This really is an oasis from the madness. We stayed Wednesday and Thursday and had the place to ourselves, downside is that only one restaurant was open and it closes at 18.00. There are other bars and restaurants but only open Friday to Sunday.. Maybe it is the time if year. Worth a stop after a long drive.

30,000 per night per person. Do NOT come on Friday to Sunday as it is really busy and Saturday morning we were woken at 6am so they could set up bbq in camping area. Mid week with no people this is fine. Bring food as the restaurant is pricey though we had some good food. It is pretty and lots to do, fishing, hiking and swimming.

Only possibility to get internet. Beautiful grassy area, clean toilets, cold showers. We just stayed for a night, but could have spent there much more time! 60.000 COP for 2 adults.

All as described in the original comment. 30,000 cop per person. Beautiful spot but we see it gets incredibly packed on the weekends. We were here during the week and had the place to ourselves. Very helpful staff. Good hiking. The pool was huge and great for cooking off in the hot mid day sun. Moderately priced restaurant we used a few times as well. Ask for camping area B as it is the quietest and far from the road. Camping area A is right next to the highway.

Very nice and clean area with swimming pool, natural pools, restaurants. You can be socio for 1 day at the price of 30.000 COP/day/person. Electricity on site. Toilets all night available at restaurant and swimming pool. Wifi.
