The overview
About EVO Nature Camp
EVO Nature Camp is a 4.5-hectare adventure and glamping park in Barangay Gaas, Balamban, roughly 45 minutes from Cebu City along the Transcentral Highway. Launched in 2020 as one of the first glamping sites in the area, it combines a flower-and-pine garden setting with an adventure park layout of camping grounds, trekking trails, and elevated glamping tents. The glamping tents sit on raised wood-and-metal platforms and come air-conditioned with real beds, distinguishing the site from ordinary tent-camping. Around the grounds, the park has planted roughly 40,000 flowering plants and over 2,500 pine trees for photo-friendly garden walks. Trekking trails branch out from the main camp: one follows a creek to Ilihan Cave and a spot known as "Ground Zero," another leads to a swimmable waterfall, and a third climbs a hill with views toward Negros Island. On-site dining is handled by the garden-set Araucaria Bistro & Cafe, and a nightly bonfire is lit for overnight guests. Day-trippers can also pay a smaller gate fee just to walk the gardens and viewpoint without booking an overnight stay.
