4 Glamping Destinations Near Manila You Should Check Out

Camping is not for everyone. Some love the beauty of the great outdoors, and they can sleep in a tent pitched in the middle of wilderness, just for the thrill of it. For many, however, the idea can be overwhelming.

So what if you want to go camping, but don’t want to give up the comforts of home?

Well, girl, you might want to try glamping.

A combination of the words “glamorous” and “camping”, glamping is a luxurious way to experience the nature while keeping the comforts of home. Glamp sites are, of course, in the outdoors, but they come with a comfy bed, blankets, pillows, fan, toilet, breakfast, and other necessities — it’s like you booked a room outside the hotel.

Sounds exciting? Here are several glamping destinations near Manila that you should check out:

Bloc Camp Site (Laguna)

Located just three hours away from Manila, Bloc Camp Site is an ideal quick getaway for anyone craving for a breath of fresh air. It offers an array of pre-pitched tents with airbeds, blankets, electric fans, power outlets, camping chairs, and a barbecue grill just outside the tent. It is also near the lake, so you can go kayaking or paddling as soon as the sun rises. At night, the site features a bonfire pit where you and your partner (or girlfriends!) can have a wonderful, cozy time.

Address: Sierra Lake Passion Cove Estate, Cavinti, Laguna

Ten Cents to Heaven (Rizal)

Just a 45-minute drive away from Ortigas, Ten Cents to Heaven is, indeed, a heavenly sight as it offers a picturesque view of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Its glamping sites provide the comfy beds, pillows, blankets, and the works. But one thing that sets this destination apart is the daredevil activities you can do here. From Zipline and wall climbing to rappelling and walking on a 150-meter hanging bridge, this place gives you a definite taste for adventure! Also, there are team building facilities, such as an exciting obstacle course, that you and your gang can try.
