Overview
Lake O' Cali is a private lakefront campsite and cabin stay on Caliraya Lake in Lumban, Laguna. It works best for one group that wants a boat-access camp with beds, furnished tents, lake activities, cooking space, and an evening bonfire setup.
The property sits on Caliraya Lake and is run as a family-owned private resort. Overnight guests book cabins or the glamping area instead of a public first-come campsite. The stay is set up for small family groups, barkadas, and company outings that want the whole place or a private cabin area.
Sleeping options include A-frame lakefront cabins, furnished glamping tents, bring-your-own tents for larger groups, and pergola cabanas that can be used for outdoor sleeping. Lake activities include kayaks, paddleboards, a floating activity barge, swimming areas, and add-on boat rides or motorized water activities when available.
How do you get to Lake O' Cali?
You reach Lake O' Cali by driving or riding to the Lumban side of Caliraya Lake, parking, then taking a short boat transfer to the private island property. The included check-in and checkout boat transfers take about 5 minutes from the parking area.
Do not plan on driving a vehicle into the campsite itself. The property is boat-access once guests arrive at the parking and pickup area. Paid parking is listed at ₱200 per car per night. Extra boat transfers after the included check-in and checkout transfers cost about ₱500–₱700 per trip.
Book ahead before going. The site is not described as a walk-in public campground. The host arranges the boat transfer after booking, and guests need to coordinate arrival time because the lake crossing is part of access.
How much does camping at Lake O' Cali cost?
Camping at Lake O' Cali is sold as a private overnight stay, not as a walk-in per-person tent fee. The published campsite rate is ₱17,000/night, with ₱200/car/night parking and separate add-on charges for extra guests, pets, and extra boat transfers.
No reliable source gives a simple per-person tent camping fee. Treat the ₱17,000/night figure as a group or property rate, then confirm the final quote before paying. Cabin bookings and private glamping packages can change by date, platform, and group size.
Extra guests above the standard cabin capacity are charged ₱800 per head per night in the cabin listing. Pets are allowed on the cabin listing up to 3 pets, with a ₱500 fee per pet.
What amenities does Lake O' Cali have?
Lake O' Cali has private toilets and baths, kitchen appliances, outdoor dining and lounge areas, lake access, kayaks, a floating activity barge, pergola cabanas, a bonfire setup, and parking before the boat transfer. Guests must bring their own food because there is no island restaurant or store.
The cabin setup includes beds, a refrigerator, kitchen tools, TV, internet, board games, and outdoor seating. The glamping setup includes furnished tents, mattresses, bedding, pillows, blankets, lamps, and electric fans. Larger groups can pitch additional tents on the flat lakeside lawn when arranged with the host.
The important supply note is food. There is no restaurant or store on the island, so campers need to bring ingredients, drinking water, snacks, ice, and any personal cooking supplies not included in their booking.
What do campers say about Lake O' Cali?
Campers rate Lake O' Cali highly for privacy, space, lake access, and the cabin setup. Public review counts are still modest, but the available ratings are strong: 5.0 from 40 cabin reviews, 100% recommendation from Facebook reviews, and 4.9 from 13 Cybo reviews.
Public reviews point to the same practical strengths: a private lake setting, enough room for families, and activities that keep groups on-site. The tradeoff is logistics. Guests need to book first, prepare supplies, park off-island, and use the arranged boat transfer.
