Start camping while young!

Krystal, Momay, Jefe, y Juanito en la bonita Playa Burot, Calatagán, Batangas.

Why start camping only when one has already grown up? Why experience the beautiful outdoors for the first time only with one's barcada or classmates? How about experiencing it while you're still at your youngest... and with your parents and siblings! That makes more difference than anything else. Because family is everything. And the family that travels together stays together... and is AWESOME!

¡TRIVIA! Burot Beach, considered as one of Batangas Province's finest and most pristine-looking beaches, was already bought a few years ago by mall and realty tycoon Henry Sy and is up for development anytime soon. The good news is that while there is still no action from Sy's company, the beach is still open to the public. Well, that's the last time we heard about it when we were there last April. The place still has no electricity and no resort at all, thus adding to the Robinson-Crusoe feeling. You will have to pay only ₱60 per head to SM security stationed there, or just ₱120 if you wish to stay overnight. However, since there is no resort in Burot, you will either have to bring your own tent, or you could rent one from the only sari-sari store in the area (ranging from ₱300 to ₱500, depending on the size). You can also rent torches and buy wood for campfires. The sari-sari store doesn't sell any viand, just the usual junkfood, cup noodles, and coffee. Therefore, you will have to bring your own báon for grilling. The place is well secured, so it's a perfect campsite experience for backpacking families.
