Camp Ola

Free play on three indoor courts, four evenings a week — Camp Ola in Daraga, Legazpi is one of only two pickleball venues we list in the whole Bicol region.

Doors are open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 6pm to 9pm. Three hours is a short run, so get there early in the block if you want more than a couple of games.

Being free puts Camp Ola among the 63 no-cost courts in a directory of 295 — a meaningful share, but still the minority. The isolation is real, though: the next closest venue, RSM Fitness and Court in Daet, is about 135 kilometres away, and TK Picklers Club in Tagkawayan further still at 157. Bicol's scene is genuinely thin.
