Campsite Privatization in Camagüey Leads to New Pricing Structure
What happened
The Punta de Ganado campsite, located in Nuevitas, transitioned to private management in mid-October. This shift is part of a broader plan by the Campismo Popular Business Group to privatize all seven camping sites in the province by the end of 2027. With the new private lessee in charge, round-trip transportation from Camagüey now costs between 5,000 and 6,500 pesos per person, and entrance fees are 500 pesos for adults and 300 pesos for children.

Why it matters
The transition of state-run camping facilities to private control changes the local tourism market structure in Camagüey Province. The new pricing model, including high costs for VIP access and restaurant menus, reflects a shift toward private commercial operations.
