✔️ Pros Hot spring with clear water and nice nature vibe
✖️ Cons Need trekking going down/up the resort (consider steep and probably slippery cemented trail if raining—not PWD/senior friendly). Even if a 4x4 mini elf van is available, it only has limited capacity to hold a certain pax going down and will be limited in capacity to bring people up due to the steepness of trail.
False advertisement when it comes to cottages. Their large balsa cottage (good for 15pax+) cannot cater to 2 tents as advised. We were able to pitch only 1 tent with 2-3 pax capacity. Some of us slept outside the tent adjusting to their cottage’s capacity (we’re only 5).
No proper cleaning of drainage/sewer pipes near the cottages. Expect minimal to extreme amount of pungent smell.
Restrooms are not maintained. Most shower heads, bidet, or faucets are not working.
The resort is very lenient of noise especially during rest hours. Perfect for people who want to be loud at night yet annoying to those who want to rest. We’re at the latter part and complained multiple times about the noise but little to no efforts were made even if they have noise policy which they “strictly” implement.
They also allow people jumping/diving into the hot spring even during wee hours of the night… so if you’re staying at the pool side cottage, expect no sleep as these will be the nuances you will/might experience.
Overall, disappointing experience considering other places I’ve been to. Rating this resort a 1/5 stars and won’t recommend to fellow campers/travelers who wants...

Nice Hot Spring, But Poor Management and Hidden Hassles. Camp Silva Spring has a beautiful natural hot spring — definitely relaxing and a rare find. The spring itself feels soothing and the surroundings are refreshing, great for nature lovers looking to unwind.
However, the management needs major improvement. Parts of the swimming area are not well-maintained, and we even saw guests eating and drinking inside the spring itself, which is very unhygienic. There’s no enforcement of rules, so expect a very noisy crowd, especially in the late afternoon and evening. There’s no noise regulation, so if you’re hoping for peace and quiet, you might be disappointed.
In the camping area, waste management seems to be lacking. Some guests leave their trash around tents, and the space is not monitored well.
Also, be aware of their questionable practice when it comes to parking. Vehicles are not allowed to enter the actual campsite — you'll need to walk around 15 minutes uphill, which is tough if you’re bringing a lot of gear. Your only option is to rent a Rusco (small transport vehicle) from them — which feels a bit like a money-making scheme.
It’s a nice spot with a lot of potential, but sadly, the lack of proper management, cleanliness, and regulations really take away from...

**Preferably, opt for day tour than night. *Watch the vid.
Ngalay. Hirap. Sarap. Hirap. Ginhawa.
Ngalay. For the record this is just about the long hours of commute haha But if you can bear it, good.
Hirap. Why difficult, you'll have an estimate of 5-10mins hike before getting in the hot spring. It's still under renovation(?) and I don't think it's safe especially at night. The way is rocky, there are no available lights to guide you, and it would be really dark.
Sarap. For the part when you're at the hotspring itself. Though mejo itchy. One of the local residents told us that for most first timers, it can be itchy and there was one occasion that the person had rashes.
Hirap. Again, it's more difficult going back 😅 Also, not found of the facility. Kasi nga I think it's still under renovation.. Not advisible for people with weak knees, with asthma, or kung ano man 😅
Ginhawa. Okay na after makalabas haha
Entrance fee is 50 for day. 100 for night. The cottage we had was for 20pax(yun lang kasi available that time) and it was 400 pesos.. Limited showers. I think it's 3 for boys and 3 for girls. Hina ng water.
No separate area for changing of clothes.
All in all I wasn't satisfied. Mas bet ko pa...
