Introduction
The local minorities run a cluster of homestay accommodations in a designated area of Ba Be National Park and these are the best places to stay. They're simple but they're clean and comfortable with shared bathrooms.
There's also an old state run style guest house at the entrance to the National Park but it makes no sense to stay there when you can get closer to the action of the park as well as the local people at a home stay.
The homestay - guesthouse style accommodation is at Thon Pac Ngoi, Nam Mau, Ba Be. Most travellers access this area by boat though vehicle access is also possible. Talk to your homestay about the best way of getting there.
Here is a list of those we saw. They're quite similar and very basic. Accommodation included meals and starts at around $15 per person.
