Campuestohan is situated right in the boundaries of Talisay City and Bacolod City of Negros Occidental. The place offers breathtaking views. Serving as a backdrop is the majestic Mt. Mandalagan while on the other side is a scenic view of the plains of Negros Occidental, a portion of the sea and a peek of the Panay islands. The weather is very cool which makes it a perfect summer getaway.

I first went to Campuestohan on May 2013. Back then, they only had the Log Cabin, the cabanas, Heroes' Hall, swimming pool and the children's playground. Less than a year later, the whole place had a lot of additional fun areas like the giant gorilla, zipline, obstacle course and new and bigger swimming pool in the shape of a giant foot.

The giant gorilla-King Kong, and the Heroes' Hall are the favorite spots of the Sun Life managers for picture taking. It was morning when we went there. Naturally, the light was quite harsh so the photos I took had a lot of glare.

They also have a zipline now, an obstacle course (which looks quite long) and an area for horse-back riding. I estimate the zipline length at around 500 meters, but trust me, I'm not good at estimating distances. (^_^)

| Some resort staff tried the zipline and did some exhibitions. This is a lucky shot. :) |
The Log Cabin serves as the resort's hotel. They also have the Bonita Huts for overnight accommodations. These huts look quaint; reminds me of hobbit houses. I learned that the maximum number of persons the resort can house is around 100. They also have day cottages and picnic umbrellas for rent.
 |
| These huts can accommodate 4 persons. |

Situated across the resort's main entrance is the newly-constructed restaurant. From it's balcony you would have a view of the mountains. On the other side, your visual senses would be treated to breathtaking hues of greens and blues displayed by the vast expanse of the Negros Occidental plains seen from above, and a portion of the sea.

The food in their restaurant menu are reasonably priced. We had our lunch there. We were served the all-time favorite KBL (kadyos, langka, baboy) - a pork stew with young jackfruit and lentils, cooked to perfection. We also had fish fillet and, beef strips with mushroom and gravy. It was a hearty meal. The only downside was that they don't have brewed coffee that day. I was really looking for brewed coffee especially that it was extremely cold that day and I forgot to bring a jacket.
Campuestohan Highland Resort is a dream for young children. The foot-shaped swimming pool, the festive-colored playground, the shoe house, and the different characters from animated movies. Its magic will also capture the adults who are young at heart.
