The camping is the perfect place if you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere just steps from the beautiful lagoon ☀️✨️ it is about 2km from town which makes for a nice walk (or bike ride!) I primarily supported yaz and charly in the mornings & they were wonderful to work w! 💛 The team made me feel welcome right away 💙. Getting to see the lagoon every single day was a huge privilege 🛶🔆, oh & the restaurant food is delicious 😊 gracias the camping por todo, les deseo lo mejor 💛

I had a great time in the camping! Made friends for life there with the other volunteers and local staff. Thanks to Dario, Bernie, Sam, Yaz, Capi, Mau, Yolo and Chile. Working hours, free day and tasks were as agreed before. Had my own cabana which was great, but recommend bringing ear plugs because the road is super noisy. Some basic groceries were provided not in a regular basis, so you'll need to buy your own food to cook. Overall a good experience and recommend to other volunteers. Thanks, the camping team!

The camping is a camping 15 minutes away from Bacalar, facing on the magnificent lagoon. My girlfriend and I had the chance to have a private room in the tent, while single volunteers stayed in the dorm. It was a good experience at the end of the day, but what was mostly missing was the communication between the host and volunteers. He wouldn't explain directly how to do things, and if you asked, he seemed annoyed that we didn't know. A big thank you to Yaz for doing the most to maintain the glamping and for being gentle every time.

Teaching sunrise yoga by the Laguna was an absolute highlight. Meeting interesting people from all over the world allowed me make incredible connections. The owner personally checked with me daily to see if I'm ok and if I need anything. They were very flexible with my time off requests and I got to take a trip to the nearby Mahahual which was a true Caribbean paradise. The only minus was the nearby highway but I stopped hearing it after a few days. And I got used to biking along it. Overall I think this is a great option to spend a couple weeks, disconnect and truly enjoy the lagoon!

This place is a gem in Bacalar. My experience was great here. The staff is welcoming, understanding and supportive. I've had additional tasks during my time here as a yoga instructor and photographer which has been enjoyable being able to connect with travelers from all over the world. Having my own cabana makes this place feel like home. Muchas gracias 🙏🏽☺️

Ben and Dario saved us when a host in town failed to provide adequate accommodations, and we ended up staying with them for a month. Tasks were diverse and changed the daily routine. We had free access to a scooter, and Dario would often host barbecues and have other locals from town come out as well, making us feel not so isolated being slightly outside of town. Having a private glamping tent for a month was a treat. And practicing my Spanish with Mari and Gio who only spoke spanish really forced me to learn more than if we had stayed at a hostel in town.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
