It’s that time of year again when the cold spell hits the northern Philippines. During this season, you have two great options: explore the city of Baguio or camp in the mountains of Benguet. You can actually do both, just like my friends and I did a few weeks ago. Thankfully, I discovered Valleypoint Campsite on Facebook!
Valleypoint Campsite in Tuba, Benguet, offers a scenic escape with breathtaking views of rolling mountains and lush pine forests. Perched on a hill, it’s perfect for those seeking tranquility and a closer connection to nature. Guests can enjoy camping under the stars, bonfires, and stunning sunrise views—all just a short drive from Baguio City.

Getting to Valleypoint Campsite from Manila
It’s easy to get to Valleypoint Campsite from Manila by private car or public transportation. My friends and I took a Genesis bus from Cubao at 6 in the morning, and we arrived in Baguio City around 12 noon. The travel time would have been shorter if we had left earlier, as the traffic in EDSA and Baguio was heavy.
By Private Car: Use Google Maps or Waze. The quickest route from Manila to Baguio is via TPLEX Pozorrubio.
By Public Transportation: From Manila (Cubao, Pasay or Sampaloc), ride a bus going to Baguio and ask the conductor to drop you off at Green Valley (landmark is Petron Gas Station). Travel time is about 4-6 hours and one way bus fare is 550 pesos. From Petron, ride a jeepney or taxi and get off at Sto. Tomas checkpoint. Once at the checkpoint, inform the guards that you are a guest of Valleypoint Campsite. The campsite is just a short walk from there.
Did you know you can now book your bus tickets to Baguio or avail a private transfer to Baguio via Klook? Skip the hassle of queuing at the bus station—simply present your printed voucher and exchange it for a physical ticket at the PITX, Cubao, or Baguio bus terminal.

Lunch in Baguio City
When we arrived in Baguio City, we didn’t head straight to Valleypoint Campsite. Instead, my friends and I decided to have lunch at Sage, one of the top-rated restaurants on TripAdvisor. Located along Military Cut-off Road, this spot offers savory entrees, delectable dishes, and sweet desserts. We ordered salted egg potato chips, Creamy Bulalo Steak with steamed java rice, Porkchops with Apples, and Basil Shrimp Pasta. Everything tasted amazing and was incredibly filling. If you visit Sage, be sure to save some room for dessert!

My Glamping Experience at Valleypoint Campsite
Coffee on a Chilly Afternoon at the Campsite
As soon as we arrived at Valleypoint Campsite, Ken and I checked into our tent, while Pat and Dani opted for the dorm room. The check-in process at the reception was quick and hassle-free. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great that day, so after leaving our belongings in the tent and room, we decided to explore the property. We were hoping to enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, but a thick fog blanketed the entire area, obscuring everything. With no view in sight, we decided to relax at the camper’s area and enjoy some coffee instead.

By the way, if you are curious to know what the tents look like, here you go. The tents are dual layer and waterproof. Inside you’ll find a comfy mattress (Uratex brand), bed sheet, pillows and thick blankets.
By dusk, the temperature dropped to around 15°C, and as someone extremely sensitive to the cold, it only took one chilly breeze to make me shiver. Thankfully, I came prepared with my trusty Heattech leggings, turtleneck shirt, and jacket. After dinner and a small inuman session, my friends and I headed back to our tent and room.

Sunrise at Valleypoint Campsite
I slept soundly and woke up to my alarm the next morning. Some campers were already up, enjoying the sunrise, which was absolutely stunning. The weather was perfect, so I took the opportunity to fly my Mavic Air. I captured some great drone shots, although I didn’t go too high due to the maximum flight altitude of 100 meters above ground—and admittedly, I was a bit nervous, too! The drone photos below showcase Valleypoint Campsite and its beautiful surroundings.
Dining at Valleypoint Campsite’s Restaurant
I love camping, but I’m not a fan of roughing it—especially when it comes to food. Thankfully, Valleypoint Campsite has its own restaurant where you can enjoy delicious and reasonably priced meals. For dinner, my friends and I ordered Crispy Pork Kare Kare, Pork Sinigang, Lumpiang Shanghai, and Pancit. Each dish was tasty and satisfying, with portions enough for 2-3 people, so all four of us were really full. The only downside was the Kare Kare; while the sauce and bagoong were perfect, the tough, tooth-breaking rind was a letdown.

The next morning, we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which included a plate of fried rice, a boiled egg, and pork adobo. It was delectable, especially when paired with a cup of coffee. However, it would have been even better if they offered additional breakfast options for campers. Personally, I always appreciate having choices like bread with homemade jam or something lighter, such as oatmeal and fruit.

Activities at Valleypoint Campsite
Here’s where Valleypoint Campsite truly excels. Not only are there plenty of sights to see, but there are also various activities to suit different interests and fitness levels. Want to channel your inner Katniss Everdeen with some archery? Go for it! Feeling adventurous and competitive? Try Airsoft! Looking for a challenging hike with a scenic view of Baguio City? You’re in the right place. Interested in exploring the work of local artists from Baguio and Benguet? Don’t miss the Kulaaw Art Gallery.


Note: As part of the Glamping package, you receive one free activity – either a 10-minute archery session or 150 rounds of Airsoft. If you want to try both, you can add 100 pesos per person upon check-in. I recommend doing your chosen activity on your first day, as many guests tend to use their free activity before checking out.
Overall Experience at Valleypoint Campsite
By the end of the trip, I definitely felt that Valleypoint Campsite deserved a longer visit. A weekend trip wasn’t nearly enough, given the long journey from Manila. The campsite itself is worth exploring, and there are many activities and sights to enjoy in Benguet and Baguio City. Valleypoint Campsite is an excellent base, whether you’re traveling with friends or family.
A few things I would like to suggest to Valleypoint Campsite:
- a portable light inside the tent (it was very dark at night)
- a secured storage or locker area for valuables
- additional staff to assist guests with their free activities
- portable chairs at the campsite for sunset and sunrise viewing
- more lights along the stairs at the campsite
Other Things to do in Baguio
Baguio Craft Brewery
Baguio is a foodie haven, offering everything from sweet strawberries to authentic Cordilleran dishes. When my friends and I checked out of Valleypoint Campsite around noon, we decided to visit one of Baguio’s top food destinations, Baguio Craft Brewery. Located along Marcos Highway, it’s Baguio’s first craft brewery, featuring freshly brewed beer from over 20 rotating taps. We ordered the grilled ribs platter, and I couldn’t resist trying the Mango Beer—it just wouldn’t have been the same without it! Pairing the grilled meat with beer was a fantastic combination.
Baguio City Public Market
Of course, a trip to Baguio wouldn’t be complete without pasalubong shopping at the Baguio City Public Market. My friends and I started in the coffee section, where we picked up some affordable premium coffee. Here, you can find Garcia’s Pure Coffee and Kape Umali, two of Baguio’s most famous coffee stores. Next, we visited the vegetable section to buy some produce that’s usually expensive in Manila, such as broccoli, cherry tomatoes, kale, and strawberries. Finally, we stopped by the pasalubong section to buy Good Shepherd’s iconic ube jam, Lengua de Gato, and Chocolate Flakes.
Baguio City Tour
For first-time visitors to Baguio, this group tour is a must-do. Starting at 9 AM and ending around 5 PM, it covers key highlights including Baguio Botanical Garden, The Mansion, Mines View Observation Deck, Camp John Hay, Kennon Road Viewpoint, Baguio Museum, Easter Weaving, Tam-awan Village, and Strawberry Farm.
