Bacalla Woods Campsite

Before Bacalla Woods Campsite has been known, it is a hangout by Bacalla family. Bacalla is the surname of the family that owns the place. It is known for its swing. Remember the famous swing in Bali, Indonesia? Yes!,you can now go to this place to experience the magical feeling and surreal moment of putting your faith in a branch of tree to swing.

My friends and I decided to find some escape from our daily grinds of work and it did leads us to Bacalla Woods Campsite. They where eager to go to Bacalla Woods Campsite because of the famous swing. The insane swing and hammock. 

I tell you that it is not easy to swing in full mode when you know that on the other side is a solid ground waiting for you.
