Real, Quezon: Surfing & Camping Vacation at The Park

Conveniently located only 2-3 hours away from Rizal Province, passing by the picturesque Laguna Lake and through the scenic Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges, is the coastal town of Real, Quezon. Due to its proximity, my friends and I have been coming to this beach destination for quick and easy getaways such as this three-day surfing and camping vacation at The Pacific Recreation Kamp a.k.a. “The PaRK“

The PaRK provides visitors with safe campgrounds covered in soft grass and shaded by trees, ideal for pitching tents or setting up hammocks. Campsite is equipped with a open cottages, cooking areas, a basic C.R., shower areas and there’s also a store. Thus, all basic needs can be found at The PaRK which makes your camping trip much easier and safer. (See previous post about The Park, The Pacific Recreation Kamp in Real, Quezon)

Real, Quezon lies on the eastern coast and faces the open Pacific. At certain months of the year, swell rises to tremendous heights which are perfect for surfing. We spent most our time at the beach break to learn the watersport and to avoid potential hazards on rocky areas. (See previous post about activities in Real, Surf, Skim & Swim in Real, Quezon)

The Park is our quick remedy to beach getaways when budget is tight. In addition, going to Real instead saves us the hassle of embarking on long road trips especially when schedules conflict. Summer season is right around the corner and you might be looking for a nice and affordable place for a vacation not far from Manila, consider The PaRK on your list.
