Eden Nature Park brings back campsite evenings this summer

EDEN NATURE Park and Resort in Davao City has lined up evening campsite activities this summer to give guests a taste of the glamorous camping, or glamping, experience. Brenda A. Ocampo, the resort’s director of sales and marketing, said they introduced the package last summer and this brought in 100% occupancy. “This is something new in Davao. A fusion of glamour and camping and we offered exciting activities and majority of our guests are locals composed of millennials and even senior citizens. Rain or shine, the guests are willing to wait to watch and participate in the activities,” Ms. Ocampo said. Guests do not need to pitch a tent as accommodations are provided at the resort’s cottages, but they can enjoy a bonfire, barbecue, fire dancing, or even a movie outdoors at night. The 80-hectare Eden Nature Park has floral and vegetable gardens, a Mindanao cultural park, walking trail, horseback riding, and various recreational activities such as skycycle and skyrider. — Maya M.
