Camping?

[Flesner]

Is camping possible on the beaches on the peninsula? If so, where? (I'm thinking of something around Las Galeras, but other options would also be good!)

I´ve seen folks camping on Playa Grande, though i don´t know what the circumstances were. I have an idea that if you were to speak with the Marina de Guerra in a beach area, they would grant you permission to camp the night on a beach. Most beaches are patrolled to some extent by the navy, so they would be the ones from whom to ask rmission.

I see a lot of people car camping in Playa Rincon.

There is a new place in Las Galeras that provides camping called El Cabito in Las Galeras, Samana - Home

Looks like a good place but does anyone else know any good places one can camp in the DR thats secure?

I camped out in the area of Rio san Juan ? a few years back. I went with a cousin of mine and about 20 others. We had a very good time. It seemed pretty safe right by the beach. We had the grill set up and everything. Im not suree of the exact areas to go to though.

We've had several people camp near us. The town is name La Yagua, or Villa Magante, just outside of Rio San Juan. The beach is Playa Magante. There are several business there and plenty of open spots for camping.

I've seen a couple of busses of Boy and Girl Scouts camping there, too, maybe 20 tents.
