Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Leisurelands does not charge general admission for either recreational area, but charges seasonal vehicle parking. These are inland freshwater properties, so there is no marine park tag or sea-entry levy. No universal scuba, snorkeling or freedive permit fee was confirmed; access permission at Hilgelo camping-side entry and approval for organized activities require direct checks.
