With mountain views, Hospedajes Richie Eco Camp is located in Providencia and has a restaurant, a tour desk, bar, garden, picnic area and terrace. With river views, this accommodation features a patio. The campground also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. This is the absolutely best place to stay while getting oriented to Costa Rica! Richie is the most gracious host and takes time to curate your experience to you and your family’s needs. While the roads in to Eco Camp are dirt, they are much better than the one’s I encounter in America’s southwest. If you like magical water falls and streams outside your door, a comfortable eco camp, the coolest tree we saw during our travel and an opportunity to immerse yourself in Costa Rican culture this is the place for you. Also, the food is super delicious and sources from the extensive local gardens that attract butterflies and hummingbirds all day long.

Featuring an outdoor pool and a hot tub, Badu Lodge Puriscal is set in Santiago, 30 km from Parque Viva and 37 km from Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The campground offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. We booked this last minute, but what a treasure and special place to find. The location has fabulous mountain views. The bungalow we stayed in was great, large very comfortable bed. The bathroom had a jacuzzi which was nice for an evening relaxing. There was a Nespresso coffee machine and fridge, but no kitchen area which was fine for us. Outside there is plenty of seating, small pool area, table tennis, fire pit or bbq if wanted to use. The hosts were super friendly, and although we didn’t speak Spanish they made every effort to ensure we had a nice stay. We even had a little tour of the land and ate bananas fresh from the tree - best bananas ever, creamy and tasty. Thank you for our time with you, and delicious breakfast.

Featuring garden views, Tiny House Jaulares provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 14 km from Cerro de la Muerte. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The campground also offers facilities for disabled guests. To keep it short, stay here and you'll never want to leave again. The cabin sits on the edge of the mountain and has an amazing view over the valley and the surrounding nature. A nearby stream runs through the blackberry fields and when the clouds circle the cabin, the fire keeps you warm and toasty. I could go on forever about each delicious meal brought to our doorstep, the shower which competes with 5* Hotel showers (and would win), the people living in the nearby pueblo and the nature which reminds me so much of the alpes. Erlyn and his fairy helpers made our stay pure enjoyment!! I will be back, probably when it is time to harvest wild blueberries :)
