Forest Camp in Dumaguete

Next stop, the hot and cold springs of Forest camp.

How to go there

From our hotel: Grand Pensionne Plaza, we went to the jeepney terminal going to the town of Valencia. From Valencia, we took a tricycle to take us to Forest camp. Alternatively, there are habal-habals available in the area.

Going back to Dumaguete, we rode a tricycle instead of a jeep because we weren’t able to catch the last trip going back to Dumaguete.

What to see

Forest camp is actually a nature-inspired resort located in the town of Valencia. It features common tourist spots like a hanging bridge, a tree house, a picnic area, a fishing pond, and hot and cold springs. The spring water comes from the falls of Casaroro.

Arriving at Forest camp, the initial display in the entrance is this four by four military-like jeep.

A restaurant is also located inside the camp to accommodate their visitors who stays over night at the camp.

Visitors can also take a swim at any of the two hot and cold springs inside the camp. We actually met this Italian family there, and a bunch of locals having a dip at the pool.
