Camping is one of the best ways to experience the outdoors. However, it can be quite troublesome, as setting up a tent takes some effort and there are so many things you need to bring and factor in while planning. But if you’re looking to experience camping without the hassle, check out this unique glamping site in Cavinti, Laguna.

GlampingxBloc by The BLOC Camp Site

Surrounded by lush greenery and the serene Lumot Lake, The BLOC Camp Site is a destination that lets you experience camping comfortably where all you have to do is check-in and have a relaxing time. Owned and designed by an architect, The BLOC is one of the pioneers of glamping in the country and Laguna’s first. It’s a camping ground where art and architecture meet the beauty of nature.

The site is the home of different tents that can fit big families or barkadas but GlampingxBloc is their most luxurious accommodation. Just a few steps away from the lake, the Exo Tent is a uniquely-designed nook that would make you feel like you aren’t camping at all.

It’s a spacious tent good for 2 people – an ideal location for couples who are looking to have a different and romantic experience on their anniversaries, birthdays, or even honeymoon. Inside, you’ll find a queen-sized airbed, ottoman box tables for storage, and a lounge chair. Although the weather is mostly cool in the area, a stand fan is still provided.

But the main attraction is the outside of the tent itself. Unlike neighboring tents, GxB sits on a wooden plank deck surrounded by a steel frame that mimics a veranda.

The space at night

It has a string of LED lights, which is perfect for a romantic alfresco dining experience at night. A rigid steel garden table sits at the center with 2 geometrical modernist chairs. To complete a relaxing stay, a hammock is attached just in front of the text where you can easily fall asleep on windy afternoons.

For guests who plan to make their stay even more romantic, The BLOC has two floating docks you can rent, which are perfect for a dreamy al fresco dining experience right in the middle of the lake. You can also pre-order meals before your stay.
