“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller”

Ibn Battuta

As promised, we will now share our visit to Forest Camp Resort in Valencia, Negros Oriental, as part of our Dumaguete trip. We decided to visit Forest Camp Resort after our visit to Pulangbato Falls. It takes about 10-15 minutes via motorcycle.

Forest Camp Resort is located in Valencia, Negros Oriental. It will give you to a jungle feels - full of trees, rocks, and water. This is only about a 20-minute drive from Dumaguete City. You don't need to be concerned because you enjoy the location and its ambiance.

For exact location, you may check here.

This will greet you as you enter the Forest Camp. You will be astounded by the location because it is lush with greenery. Featuring the motorcycle we used to ride to various locations such as Bacolod, Bantayan, Santander, Siquijor, Dumaguete, and others.

The entrance fee is 200 pesos ($4) per person and does not include meals, but the resort does have its own restaurant if you want to order food. We are only staying for about an hour, so we do not order or eat there. It's a good thing we went on a weekday to avoid crowds because there will undoubtedly be a large number of people on weekends.

We find a place for our belongings because the space is vast. Tables and chairs are provided at no cost. Following that, we began immersing ourselves in the pool. You don't have to worry because they have a lot of pools and the water is very cold, running on natural water and free of chemicals. You will have a great time exploring the area and transferring to another pool.

If you want to stay longer in Forest Camp, they have overnight accommodations. You can inquire about rates on their Facebook page, as they have a variety of affordable options.

So we go try out the other pool because it looks really nice. We have a lot of photos in this pool because the area is beautiful once captured by a camera. You can tell we're having a good time because we're the only ones here without any photobombers, hahaha. Plus the water is really cold.

We then go to another the pool and take a kawa bath because we really want to try it plus the location is ideal for Instagram. Also, if you really want a hot kawa bath, they have it, but I'm not sure how much it costs.

We cross a hanging bridge to get to the other side of the place and try some more pool to dip in. Because the area is approximately 5 hectares, you will be astounded by the number of pools.

They have activities here in Forest Camp like Wall Climbing, Skate Park, Billiards, Zip Line and many more but we are really not sure if it is open already because when we passed by it was close. More kawa baths picture, hahaha.

More scenery photos with the location. Because of its beauty, you will truly appreciate the location in person. Because we were traveling alone, a kind man offered to take our picture in the hanging bridge. We don't know him, but after hearing our conversation about not having a picture together, he offered, and we are grateful.

We're glad our trip is over because we'll be returning to our hotel to prepare for John's passport appointment in Robinson and then flying back to Cebu. We will really go back here in Forest Camp and try their overnight stay.
