Camp Supertramp

Top choice in Playa Sámara


Major move! Supertramp is now 8km southeast of Hojancha, beside the 350m Salto de Calvo waterfall, with mountain/ocean views. The list of things to love is long: Thomas (the owner), Subwoofer (the dog), the jungle shower, the fire pit, the 1971 VW bus, the table-tennis table and the volleyball court. The vibe here is fun-filled and super chill.
