Above is a map for the campground at Flamenco Beach on Culebra. The campground is comprised of different areas or zones. These are A (pink), B (blue), C (yellow), D (orange) and E (green). Zone E is the largest and furthest zone from the kiosks and main beach area. Zone is also considered the "quiet zone" of Flamenco beach and is a popular area for those who have been camping on Flamenco for a very long time.
When approaching Flamenco beach from the main town of Dewey, you will pass through a gate with a large parking area beyond it. The parking area is where one catches taxis that lead back to the ferry terminal or to other ferries around the island. The registration area is near the gate. This is where you pay to camp on Flamenco beach. A reservation is not necessary to camp on Flamenco beach. The cost to camp is $20 per night. You can pay for up to seven days at a time. You will be given wristbands and a receipt to hang from your tent once you register.
There are various shower areas and restrooms on the island. The restroom near the beach by the food kiosks has a sink with potable water. The shower water is also potable, however the water in the various large water storage containers around the camping area is not recommended for drinking. Many people use the water here to clean clothing, wash dishes, etc.
There is also a path that leads to both Carlos Rosario beach and Playa Tamarindo. These beaches are far less busy than Flamenco beach and offer much better snorkeling. Carlos Rosario is quite good for snorkeling, and if you did not bring gear, you can rent it at the food kiosks that are near the gate. While Flamenco beach gets praise for being one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, both Carlos Rosario and Tamarindo are gorgeous beaches. The sunset from Playa Tamarindo is especially nice to witness.

Acquiring Camping Gear
If you did not bring something, chances are you can easily acquire it. Tents, air mattresses, and other camping equipment is for rent at Tent City in the kiosk area. There are hammocks one can purchase as well. If you are visiting for the day, there are plenty of picnic tables around. Compared to the costs of lodging in other parts of Culebra, renting a tent and paying the $20 a day fee may still be far cheaper than finding a room in town or on other parts of the island. Waking with the sound of the ocean waves and the sun rising is an experience that should not be missed.
Safety
The camping area is quite safe. There are many guards and workers around that keep an eye on things. With that in mind, it is still very important to keep an eye on any valuables. Take anything valuable with you when you leave your site. When swimming, keep an eye on your possessions. Theft is uncommon, but does occur from time to time.
