We spent just one night at Barton Creek outpost in August and we loved it! The road to get there is bumpy but worth it and passing through beautiful jungle. You might bump into some people from the amish community that settled there. The best thing you've to try once there is taking a swim in the river right in... More

The Barton Creek Outpost is, without question, one of the best places I've ever stayed! Jim and Jacquelyn are awesome and their children are so entertaining! The food is great, the fresh squeezed orange juice is to die for, the creek is great for a swim, and there are many fabulous nature walks nearby. The perfect place to get away... More

indeed, what a shame. the wife, food, kids, setting were perfect. but please, the guy in charge needs to stay away from the place. what a parasite. moody, greedy, inhospitable and unfriendly, while his missis was completly the opposite. he was using some poor lad to help build his new bungalows. nothing ethical about it. and then, to top it...

I arrived on a dirt bike and was happy to have done it that way. The noisy and bumpy ride was the perfect contrast to such a quiet and healthy place. Jackie prepares the hardiest and tastiest meals, the continuous sound of the creek is soothing, the soft flicker of kerosene lamps and candles at night is soothing, the lack... More

Looking for a unique place to volunteer in Belize? Barton Creek Outpost is a beautiful, family-run retreat tucked away in the Cayo Destrict. The best part, besides hanging out with the family and guests, is being so immersed in the jungle. When you have some time off, there are waterfalls, caves, and trails nearby. This is really a prime spot... More

We stopped in with the intention to stay a night and ended up falling in love with the place and staying several. We happened to arrive while the owners were out of town, but I am happy to say that the volunteers (Mel, Liam and Travis) were unbelievably helpful, courteous and accommodating, making sure we felt well taken care of...

If you are looking for a pampered palace in the lap of luxury... this is not it. But, then again, if you realize you are in the "Belize bush", then you probably weren't looking to be pampered anyway. First of all, Jim is the real deal. A fantastic host has a great balance of seeing that you are cared for,... More

Lovely spot, a real jungle adventure. Simple place, right on Barton Creek, perfect for swimming, hiking, relaxing. Right next to Barton Creek Cave national park. Kind family living here, excellent food. Bunk house is perfect for backpackers looking for a bed. No A/C, electricity is episodic, if you really want to get away - this is away. Only downside -...

I didn't stay overnight but spent a great day with Jim and the family. It is the slow season the first of May but there was a senior church group staying so lots of activity going on. What a great little community. In just the short time there I met new friends and even picked one up for a ride... More
