The house and the ampitheater beside it were named after General J Franklin Bell who was sent to the Philippines during the Philippine-American War.

He played a significant role in converting Camp John Hay into a military resort.

The house has been converted into a museum that showcases old architecture and lifestyle.

Located just beside the Bell House and a popular events place especially weddings.

My favorite place at Camp John Hay 😍

The entrance can be found on the small walkway on the right side of Bell House

The most quiet spot during my visit.

Go staight ahead to this walkway.

If you ever get hungry or thirsty, skip big brands at the mall and buy from here.

This area features food and beverage startups.

Unique experiences: a food truck, a van cafe, and a container restaurant.

📽️ I went to Santiago Food Truck and it felt like I was in one of those movies shot in New York.

😋 I ordered Pork Sisig for P150. Beef Tapa is their best seller but it was sold out during my visit.

👍 Highly recommended! Tasty and generous serving of rice and sisig + 2 eggs

You can choose to eat on their small tables or go picnic style in the middle of pine trees near The Manor.

If you ever feel drowsy after the meal, boost yourself with a cup of coffee from this van cafe.

Or strawberry dirty ice cream for dessert. Why not both? 😉

A hotel hidden in the middle of thousands of pine trees.

Located in front of Bell House and Bell Amphitheater.

Another hotel within Camp John Hay and there's a parking space in front of it.

If you're driving an electric vehicle, there's a charging hub here.

Located just a few steps from the entrance.

There are lot of famous restaurants, cafes, and even an authorized Apple Store.

Here are some of the restaurants and cafes I remembered: Starbucks, Yellow Cab, Ramen Nagi, Shakey's Pizza, Pancake House, The French Baker, Vizco's Cafe, and Army Navy.

There are also camping areas here.

Go back to the entrance, wait at the shed, and take the jeep back to the city proper for ₱13.
