Robles Point Camping Adventure

5:30am I knew I would not be able to sleep in this morning thinking about all the last minute things I needed to organize for our Robles Point camping trip. I am still not quite sure how I will get everything packed up. The pile at the front door keeps growing and you would think we are off for a week not just 24 hours. Paul and I have the deluxe 6 person Mansion tent complete with double air mattress and everyone else had 2 bedroom condo tents. Cindy and I are both bringing Hammocks as well – they will come in handy for lounging or in case it is too hot to sleep in a tent.

We looked like Sanford and Son as we rolled into town and piled out of the cab. Cindy’s cart was also jam packed for our camping adventure.

More to come pic uploaded and I am off to Maureen’s Birthday party.

Camping was crazy fun. From the minute we pulled up to the beach you could feel everyone’s excitement levels double.

Seaduced has the best spot to because it is well set up with ‘outdoor furniture’ we had a table for flashlights sunscreen and other assorted stuff – a long cooking/food table – a bar – eating area and a proper barbecue. There were even ropes already tied on the trees for our hammocks.

We swam all day and Molly had a ball running around. Ate like kings – turns out we had way to much food but Cindy and I both agreed better to much than not enough. Met some new people – a husband and wife pilots small world moment for Jeff who was also a pilot. Rick and Coleen came by for dinner and cocktails and invited us to Island Perk North for mo9rning coffee.

There was an amazing lightening show all evening and not long after Rick and Coleen left it started throwing down with rain. Luckily we were all packed up and tarped before hand. Only issue with rain was that Cindy and Jeff’s tent leaked so we moved all their gear to our tent and Cindy & Molly came to hang out for a while – we had a running joke about wet sandy ftte and doga at that point and we all knew there was notging we could do to keep the sand out. Jeff worked on fixing their tent and hanging out by the fire under the trees. No Mosquitoes the whole time even after the rain which was damn lucky.

Early next morning we had an unwelcome visitor some sandfleas – they went away after a while and we carried on enjoying ourselves. It was such a treat to go to Island Perk North for morning coffee and a quick round of Bocce ball. After we went back to camp packed it all up and went for a last swim before Elito came back to bring us home.

We all agreed this was a fantastic first run for island camping right down to the rain and will be a regular thing.

Shout out to Matt and Jo and Dick and Carole for loaning us the extra tent we needed and to my cousin Erin and friend Faby was thinking of you while packing and how much you both would enjoy this trip. Coleman dome tent is one item on the list for future now that I know we will use it.

Hey how do you get set up with a camping adventure while in Belize? Do you have to bring your own tent and food? How much does the boat trip out there cost? Your pics look awesome and I would love to have an adventure like that!

Reply
tacogirl 15/11/2010 - 7:12 am

EPR – you have to supply own tents – food and have a minimum 8 people. Seaduced are the company who on the property up north and that is where they do their beach barbecue day trips. Since we live there they agreed to let us camp there overnight – it was so much fun.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
