Mapanuepe Lake: San Marcelino, Zambales' Best Keep Secret!

Looking for a place to go to for a quick escape from the busy life? Secret's out! Just a little over 3 hours away from Manila is a relaxing campsite set right next to a scenic lake called Mapanuepe Lake that is interchangeably called Lake Mapanuepe. Gigantic pine trees, rich green grass and unparalleled clean air make this spot the perfect destination to de-stress and bond with family as well as friends.
There are two ways to get to the campsite.
1) You can take public transport from Victory Liner's terminal in Cubao and take the bus to Zambales. Ask the driver to drop you off in San Marcelino. From there, you take a tricycle and ask to be brought to jump off point going to Mapanuepe Lake. The boat ride is 10 minutes. If you're taking a sedan or a van this route is the better option. OR
2) If you really want the full experience, take a spacious, comfortable and reliable mid-sized to full-sized SUV so you can bring all your camping necessities all the way to the campsite. In our case, we decided to bring the Geely Okavango as recommended by friends. We had a lot of fun and felt very rested and safe throughout the road trip. If this is more like your taste, take NLEX then TPLEX to Subic. From there take the main Zambales road all the way to the San Marcelino Public Market. At that area you will usually find a local guide that can bring you the campsite. If you need one you can contact our guide through FB: John Alvin Soria Romualdo.
So if you're ready, let's go to Mapanuepe Lake!
