Courage Creek Camp and Trails

1 site · Tent5 acres · Utuado, PR
The campsite comes with 8'x10' Coleman tent, 6' table, and bucket toilet (you remove waste bag) included. If you would rather use your own tent, please message me. Nestled in the mountains of Utuado, Puerto Rico, tucked into our valley, you will find the camp. Be awakened by the sunrise over the mountain tops, near and far. The creek and trails will be waiting, after you enjoy your morning Puerto Rican coffee and fresh bread. Utuado has so many great recreational outdoor activities ( See Photos). Rivers, waterfalls, beaches, flowers, culture and much more. We can give you ideas and directions for the things you might be interested in experiencing. With only one campsite on the property, and the comfortably secluded surroundings, you will indulge in peace and beauty. Campers leave feeling refreshed and healthier than they arrived. The fresh air, the perfect sunshine and good quality mountain food feel great to consume. You can enjoy the plentitude of animals here and surrounding the property. Both wild and domestic. If you're a bird watcher, this is like a natural sanctuary. Song birds sing all through the day, and the doves snore beautifully at night. Cranes, owls, hawks, humming birds, parrots, and many more I'm not familiar with visit all the time. We got farm ducks, and chickens too. My neighbor has a flock of Peacocks that are usually out to be seen (it's a hike to see them, but we can take you there if you'd like). Coqui's singing romantic songs all through the night. Crabs in the creek for the kids to catch. NO large iguanas have been seen here. Small tree lizards is all we've ever seen here. We have a lot of fruit trees on the property. If you see anything ready for the taking let us know and you can partake in the experience of harvesting and eating it. Bananas, avocados, soursop, guava, fig, calabaza, coffee, name, coconuts, pana pen, and more. Exciting.
