March 17, 2025
We left Agdao, Davao City at around 6:00 a.m. on March 17, 2025. There were six of us in the group: three boys and three girls, riding three motorcycles with the boys driving. After about one hour on the road, we stopped at Jollibee in Toril to eat breakfast before continuing toward Digos and the Kapatagan highlands.
The ride itself was already part of the experience. I was the front rider on the way there, so I was leading the group when we got a little lost before reaching Camp Sabros. Someone suggested a shortcut, but the road was rough and messy, so we had to make a U-turn and go back to the original route. It still became part of the fun: the air was fresh, there were many trees along the way, and there were only a few cars and people compared with the city.
We reached Camp Sabros close to 9:00 a.m. The place really feels like one of the more familiar mountain stops in Kapatagan: cooler air, pine trees, open views, and that quiet upland feeling that is hard to get inside Davao City.
Before lunch, we tried the cable car. I remember the ride costing around PHP 200 per person, and it gave us a better look at the resort and the surrounding highlands. After that, we ate lunch at the restaurant inside Camp Sabros. The food felt a little expensive for us, but we were already there, hungry, and not in the mood to ride out just to look for another place.
Lunch became one of the parts I remember most because two female singers were performing live while we were eating. It made the stop feel relaxed and unplanned in a good way, like we were not just checking off a tourist spot but actually spending part of the day there. After lunch, we saw a stall named Hershey's Ice Cream and bought six cups in total: five vanilla and one chocolate, at PHP 35 each.
We stayed until around 4:00 p.m. before riding back. On the way down, thick fog covered parts of the road and made visibility difficult. I was no longer the front rider then; I was somewhere in the middle of the group. To make the ride safer, we stopped and waited for a passing car, then followed behind it so its lights could help guide us and warn us about oncoming motorcycles or cars.
It was not a complicated itinerary, but that was the nice part. It was a barkada ride that took the whole day: early start, Toril breakfast, a wrong turn, mountain roads, cable car, lunch with live music, photos, fog, laughs, and a good reason to remember Camp Sabros as more than a place on the map.

Not in a tent. Camp Sabros has cabins and houses for overnight guests instead, since tent camping is not allowed, with rates running from about 3,500 pesos for a small suite up to 15,000 pesos for the larger houses.
What is the road like on the way down from Camp Sabros?
Cloud cover often builds around the summit by midmorning, and thick fog can cover parts of the road later in the day, so riders sometimes follow behind a car for its lights to help with visibility.
