Camping Arrecife is located in the town of Punta Uva, which is one of the southernmost parts of the Caribbean coast, about 20 minutes south of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. This area is known as one of the most popular destinations on the Caribbean coast due to its beautiful white-pink beaches and clear, light-blue ocean, so it’s a poplar campsite for visiting the stunning beaches and beautiful viewpoints of the region.

This campsite is located on the property of a small bar/restaurant that has a large open grassy plot where you can set up your tent. It’s located just 50 meters from the beach, and has access to nice basic amenities with restrooms and showers. There is access to a large sheltered common area for cooking, with picnic tables open for families or big groups, and you can stop by the restaurant to stock up snacks, beverages, and bags of ice if necessary.

This campsite is very popular during the high season (November-February) and during local holidays (Christmas, New Years, Easter, and summer vacations), so be prepared to share the area with others if you’re traveling during this time. Even so, the owners try to maintain a quiet nature ambience by restricting the loud music after 9:00pm and by leaving space between camping areas for more privacy.
