Summer, the tent camp’s reservation manager, says they’ll have specials between August and November 14 during the more wet “Green Season.” If you’re looking for the best deals, plan your trip then!

Tent Camp Lodging: Ocean-view tents with wood-frame beds and deck. Shared cold-water bathrooms and showers (see pic below). Includes three meals a day and use of gear like kayaks, surf boards, fishing tacklet, etc. $70/person/night

Corcovado_bathrooms Packages: Includes all of the above, plus airport transfers, and tours to Corcovado National Park
(all) and Cano Island (four, five, and six night stays). $355/ person for three nights; $480/person for four nights; $550/person for five nights; $620/person for six nights.

Packages work out to $103-$118/person/night for an all-inclusive eco-adventure. Not too shabby.

See the camp’s suggestions on packing for your tent camp adventure (keep it simple, bring a flashlight). Summer suggests pumping the Bob Marley   Bob Marley - Legend - The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers to get in the beach-front mood and picking up a Lonely Planet Costa Rica guide to study up.
