    I really liked being at that side of the creek and being able to enjoy the nature there. The camp has a few nice spots to chill out, and the environment is relaxed and friendly. The excursions that they offered were great ways of getting to know...

    Frederic and his team were very helpful and friendly and come from the local village that the Ecocamp supports. The closeness to the creek is a real plus and being able to swim when the tide is high. Frederic organised a local trip to Arabuko...
