Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
This is a rural area, immersed in the lowlands of Carite Forest, only a few houses nearby. At the property you will have a little more than 4,000 squared feet only for you and your group. When you book this place it will be totally reserved for you. The property is still recovering as all our forests are, after massive hurricane in 2017. You will see many trees growing back again. Most of them are native and protected.
Host made it super easy for us to self check in the dark. What we didn’t know was the spiders. And Puerto Rico’s night time creatures were super creepy. The next day we met the hosts and the were so friendly and helpful. Bring headlamps! They are not provided but a small tent fan with battery was. I did read the reviews about how noisy the Highway can be but we didn’t care. Although yes it was quite noisy but so worth the experience. The hosts can’t do too much about how the sound travels. I would try one more time but man those big spiders and baby tarantulas are no joke. All over the cases
It was a great experience camping at Refugio Caney this February! The hosts were kind and hospitable as well as the incredible area Roca Norte is in. Would recommend as a new visitor of Puerto Rico to be able to rent a car. As well, get ready to cook!
Rude host, non-marked, dangerous trails, no safe place to park your car and you can hear and see the highway from tent sites!
Our reservation started with a brief, rushed explanation of the non-existent trail to our tent site, where Marianela called “pigs” her last guests for leaving water bottle caps behind. She rushed the explanation and sent us down the trail and did not even offer to guide us. The “bathroom” and “kitchen” area are in her house’s porch and backyard! Nowhere near the caves nor tents. Ended up leaving once we reached the cave and saw there was absolutely nothing to do but see and hear the highway.
Very cool and unique experience. The location is very beautiful and climbing is incredible. You really feel at one with nature in this place. And the dining / kitchenette area is decorated beautifully.
Definitely bring your own water and snacks because the bathroom, sink and kitchenette is a bit of a hike away from the rock shelter campsites. Also, if you’re staying in the campsite that you need to climb into with the ladder, know that it’s a very rickety ladder and make sure you can carry all of your things in a backpack because it’s quite difficult to carry everything up to the campsite if you’re holding things in your hands. The hike isn’t too long, but it’s pretty steep going up thru the woods. Thankfully they’ve rope set up to help you walk up the more vertical parts.
The night we stayed was pretty hot and I forgot to ask the host to lend me the fan that was in the description, which would have been nice to have. If you have one, I would recommend bringing it. Also if you have trouble sleeping at night, bring some earplugs or sleeping pills to help you sleep soundly.
A place to disconnect and be at peace. The hosts are amazing and welcoming and have every protocol perfectly in place. My husband enjoyed his first rock climbing experience and felt safe with such knowledgeable guides. We stayed at one of the rock shelters and yes, it takes you out of your comfort zone, but for all the right reasons. It makes you want to go every day. Totally worth the climb! Thank you to both of you, keep up your amazing service!
A one of a kind experience. Marianela really takes care of you. The natural beauty of the place is delightful. It’s a must stay for adventurous campers.
