Bicol National Park

Bicol National Park is a protected natural area spanning parts of Sipocot and Lupi in Camarines Sur and Basud in Camarines Norte, Bicol Region, Philippines. Established in 1934, it covers approximately 5,201 hectares of lowland tropical forest along the Andaya Highway. The park is notable for its dense forest cover, watershed functions, and biodiversity, serving as a natural corridor between the two Camarines provinces and a remnant of old-growth forest in southern Luzon.

Visitors can expect a forested protected area traversed by the Andaya Highway (Rolando Andaya Highway) with dense lowland tropical forest, rolling terrain and watershed areas. The park is largely undeveloped for mass tourism, offering natural scenery, roadside forest views, and informal trails through woodland. There are no major built attractions inside, but visitors encounter natural forest environment, birdlife and vegetation, with access primarily along the highway corridor between Sipocot and Basud.

Bicol National Park was established on February 10, 1934 through Proclamation No. 657 by Governor-General Frank Murphy, originally covering 4,225 hectares. It was later extended and is recognized as one of the initial national parks declared under the National Parks Act. The park was established to protect forest and watershed areas in the Bicol Peninsula and remains under the administration of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
