Mindanao's glamping properties share a common trait: they are built in places where the landscape does most of the work. Bukidnon's cool highland interior, Davao's mist-covered mountain districts, and the agricultural valleys that run between them produce natural settings that most glamping operations in Luzon and the Visayas would spend serious money trying to manufacture. Here, the environment comes standard. The properties just have to get out of the way.
1. Cliffside Camping & Glamping
Impasug-ong, Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao
Couples · Solo · Highland · Cliff edge · Valley views
The name is descriptive rather than aspirational: Cliffside Camping & Glamping in Impasug-ong is positioned at the edge of a highland cliff in Bukidnon's interior, with valley views that extend across the agricultural lowlands below and the mountain ranges beyond. At this elevation, the mornings are cold enough for a jacket and the clouds move through the site at their own pace — sometimes obscuring the valley entirely, sometimes clearing to reveal the full sweep of the landscape in a single moment.
Impasug-ong is one of Bukidnon's cooler municipalities, sitting significantly higher than Malaybalay and drawing a growing outdoor community from Cagayan de Oro and Davao City for its weekend camping scene. Cliffside is the property that surfaces most consistently in that community's recommendations — both as a glamping option and as a starting point for exploring the surrounding highland terrain.
Location: Impasug-ong, Bukidnon
Type: Cliffside highland glamping
Standout: Valley panorama, cold highland air
From CDO: ~2.5 hrs via Sayre Highway
2. Taglucop Strawberry Hills
Kitaotao, Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao
Families · Couples · Highland · Strawberry farm · Valley views
Kitaotao's strawberry farms are Bukidnon's least-discussed agricultural attraction, which is part of what makes them worth going to. Taglucop Strawberry Hills pairs the farm-stay experience with glamping accommodations set against sweeping valley views — guests can pick strawberries in the morning, eat breakfast with those same strawberries, and spend the rest of the day looking at the kind of highland landscape that the Bukidnon interior does effortlessly.
The property appeals specifically to families and couples who want something genuinely different from the standard resort or hotel stay — an agricultural setting with glamping comfort, at an elevation cool enough to make open windows at night feel like a reasonable idea. It is also the entry point to Kitaotao, a municipality that the Bukidnon outdoor community has been quietly developing as an alternative highland destination to the more visited Impasug-ong and Lantapan areas.
Location: Kitaotao, Bukidnon
Type: Farm glamping
Standout: Strawberry picking, valley views
From CDO: ~3 hrs via Sayre Highway
3. Misty Heights PH
Marilog District, Davao City, Davao Region
Couples · Solo · Highland · Cloud forest · Cool climate
Marilog District is Davao City's highland interior — an expansive mountain zone northwest of the city proper that most Davao visitors never reach. Misty Heights PH occupies that landscape at an elevation where the mist is a daily presence rather than a weather event, and where the temperature drops enough after dark to require the kind of blanket that feels genuinely earned in a tropical country.
The property sits along what the Davao outdoor community calls the BUDA corridor — the mountain area connecting Bukidnon and Davao — which has become one of Mindanao's most active routes for overlanders and highland campers. Misty Heights benefits from that proximity, drawing guests who are passing through the corridor and guests who come specifically for the cloud forest setting that Marilog's elevation produces year-round.
Location: Marilog District, Davao City
Type: Highland cloud forest glamping
Standout: Mist, cool air, BUDA corridor access
From Davao City: ~1.5–2 hrs
4. Blue Ridge Campsite Glamping & Restobar
Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon (near BUDA)
Couples · Groups · Highland · Restobar on-site · BUDA access
Blue Ridge sits in Sinuda, Kitaotao — on the Bukidnon side of the BUDA mountain corridor that links Bukidnon and Davao through some of Mindanao's most dramatic highland terrain. The property combines glamping accommodations with a restobar, which gives it a social energy that distinguishes it from the quieter, more introspective properties on this list. Groups, couples, and overlanders passing through the corridor all find something to stay for.
The BUDA area itself is increasingly recognized as one of Mindanao's premier highland destinations — a zone of cloud forest, cool temperatures, and mountain views that the outdoor community has been developing carefully. Blue Ridge is the most accessible glamping entry point to that area from the Bukidnon side, making it both a destination and a practical base camp for deeper exploration.
Location: Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon
Type: Highland glamping with restobar
Standout: BUDA corridor gateway, on-site food
From CDO: ~3.5 hrs via Sayre Highway
5. The Red Barn Davao
Davao City, Davao Region
Couples · Families · Farm stay · ⚠ Confirm tent availability
The Red Barn Davao has established itself as one of the city's most distinctive farm-to-table dining and stay experiences — a property built around the aesthetics of a working farm and the rhythm of agricultural life, within reach of central Davao. The barn architecture, the farm grounds, and the food program have built a loyal following among Davao's dining and travel community over the past several years.
The glamping tent component was temporarily unavailable at the time of writing — confirm current availability directly with the property before planning an overnight stay. The farm visit and dining experience, however, remain one of Davao's better half-day excursions regardless of accommodation status.
Location: Davao City
Type: Farm glamping
Status: Confirm tent availability before booking
Standout: Farm-to-table dining, barn aesthetic
Booking Note: The Red Barn Davao's glamping tents were temporarily unavailable at the time of this article — DM their Facebook page for current status before booking an overnight. All Bukidnon properties are best confirmed a week in advance, especially during the December–February cool season peak when highland glamping demand across Mindanao is highest.
Mindanao's glamping scene is Bukidnon-heavy for a reason — the highland interior produces the kind of climate and scenery that glamping was invented to access. Impasug-ong for the cliff. Kitaotao for the strawberries. Marilog for the mist. The BUDA corridor for the overland spirit. Davao for the farm. Five properties, one island group, and the strong sense that Mindanao's outdoor accommodation scene is only beginning.
