Camp Sabros
Camp Sabros is the ultimate destination for those who want a thrill-seeking adventure. This famous attraction is located at Sitio Barras, Brgy. Kapatagan, Digos City and was launched in December of 2007, it has enjoyed tremendous popularity that tourists from other parts of the country flock here. There is more in store here for you, so here are some information that will help you plan out a vacation to Camp Sabros.
This eco-adventure destination is approximately 2-3 hours away from Davao City, depending on whether you choose to commute or take a private vehicle. If you are going to commute, you can ride a bus bound for Digos City at the Ecoland Terminal. Once you reach the Digos City Terminal, hire a tricycle to take you to the old Digos Terminal. You will find more vans there that will bring you to Camp Sabros.
If you are driving your own vehicle, follow the National Highway leading to Digos City until you see the “Welcome to the Lion City of Digos” sign and take the right road as soon as you see a fork at the road. Turn right to the first road you will find there and follow the sign that says “This way to Kapatagan”. This will be a 25-kilometer drive until you reach the checkpoint at Sitio Barras and that is where you will find Camp Sabros. Additional travel tips: make sure that you take an SUV or four-wheel vehicle to make it easier to navigate through the rough road, which can be difficult to pass, especially if it is raining.
