Campuestohan Highland Resort: Rates, Rides and the Rooster Above Bacolod

Share your love

Campuestohan is a hillside theme park, not a quiet mountain resort. It sits about 366 meters up in Talisay City, roughly an hour from Bacolod, with a King Kong over the pool deck, a wave pool, a rope course, dinosaurs and, since 2024, a six-story hotel shaped like a rooster that holds a Guinness record. Day entrance is ₱250 and every ride is paid separately, ₱35 to ₱200 each.

It is built for families and barkadas with a full day. Go on a weekday if you can, arrive before the rides open at 9 AM, and bring a jacket for the late afternoon: it is noticeably cooler than Bacolod.

Rides and attractions

The rides run 9 AM to 5 PM and are paid at each one, per person: the rope course, zip line and cable hamster wheel at ₱200; horseback riding at ₱100 for 15 minutes; the sky bicycle at ₱100 one way; the Viking at ₱65; and the mini train, grand carousel, walking dinosaur and basketball shootout at ₱35. None of them can be booked ahead.

The pools are the draw for most families: a wave pool, a slide pool and a lagoon pool, open 9 AM to 5 PM, plus a regular pool that stays open until 8 PM. The King Kong statue over the pool deck and the dinosaur park, added in 2017, are free to walk around and photograph.

The rooster hotel

The newest landmark is Manok ni Cano Gwapo, a rooster-shaped building about 35 meters tall with 15 rooms over six floors. Guinness verified it in September 2024 as the largest building in the shape of a chicken, and it was inaugurated on October 19, 2024. Our frames here predate it; the rooms inside start at ₱4,500 for four.

Staying overnight

Rooms include entrance and breakfast for the listed number of guests. The published range runs from ₱3,000 for a non-aircon log cabin to ₱15,000 for the Raphaella Presidential Suite. In between: the Bonita Hut at ₱4,000 for four, the King Kong Room and the Teepee Hut at ₱6,000 for six, and the Mammoth Room at ₱10,000 for ten. Check-in is 2 PM, check-out noon, and weekend bookings need three days’ notice.

How to get to Campuestohan from Bacolod

  • Shuttle. ₱100 each way from beside Caltex East (the Motortrade and KFC side), across from Lopue’s East. Weekdays it leaves Bacolod at 9 AM and 2 PM and returns at 1 and 5 PM. Weekends and holidays it leaves at 8, 10, 12, 2 and 4, and returns at 9, 11, 1, 3 and 5. Shuttle line: 0939 507 7288.
  • By car. About an hour from Bacolod by the resort’s own estimate, uphill through Talisay on a winding road.
  • Commute. No current jeepney route or fare to the gate could be confirmed. Use the shuttle.
  • Hours. Resort 7 AM to 9 PM daily, including holidays. Rides, wave pool and water park 9 AM to 5 PM.
  • Food. Outside food is allowed only with a cottage or room. A grill area costs ₱40.

The drawbacks: the rides add up fast, the weekday shuttle runs only twice, weekends are crowded, and if a family of four each does the three ₱200 rides, the day comes to ₱3,400 with entrance.

Near Campuestohan

On the way back down, The Ruins is also in Talisay City and open until 8 PM, so the two fit in one day. In October, Bacolod’s MassKara Festival fills the city, and coming from Iloilo, the Iloilo to Bacolod ferry is the usual way across.

A man who built a rooster six stories tall because he could: that is a Negrense kind of joy. The Bacolod Joy tee says it with a MassKara mask.
