Camping in the Philippines- Taal, Talisay, Tagaytay Here is one campground in the Tagaytay, Batangas area. It is in Talisay, right on the shoreline of Lake Taal, about 15 minutes from Tagaytay. Taal
Lake Yacht Club was set up primarily as a sailing club. However, the
way it is set up, it is now considered one of the best campgrounds within
1 hour from Metro Manila, Luzon, Philippines.
The biggest problem you will encounter if you are traveling in the Philippines is adequate bathroom facilities. TLYC is set up as a daytrip destination from Manila. We have picky members. As a result, the central focus of the facility has to be good bathroom facilities for members and guests. Our bathrooms are good. We even have hot water if you want it. We do allow picnics, so we also have
good washup facilities.
We are a preferred destination of scout troops that are preparing for "the real thing". We provide an area which is a sort of "introduction to camping" experience. We want to promote camping in the Philippines, but we recognize that many people here have never done it. We want to provide the "no risk" opportunity for people to try it with their families. We "ease" people into it. You can bring your family, or friends, and you can enjoy sleeping under the stars in a remote area. You have the choice of trying to cook your own food if you want, and you will not have to deal with the realities of camping where there are no toilets. We don't have rooms for rent (although
some of our neighbors do)
Taal Lake Yacht club is located on the
Northern shore of Taal Lake or Lake Taal, in the town of Talisay. It is
a perfect spot for catching
Banca rides to Taal Volcano, and it is only about 15 minutes by car
from the Tagaytay ridge road. It is about 30 minutes from Tanauan. Go to
the Taal Lake homepage for more info on location, facilities, rates, pictures,
etc.
