06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"Really nice campsite and friendly owners. We paid 15 RM for a tent platform area under a gazebo (2 people). The river is really nice for bathing. The showers/toliets are OK but are not very clean (also no hot water but this was no problem for us)."
"Perfect scenery for family camping or self healing. Not to mention the owner is so friendly and helped us to install the tent. Spacious parking but in my opinion the parking fee is quite pricey."
"This place is suitable for family especially with young kids, even toddlers. The reason is the river is shallow. For my 3-year-old kid the stream level only on his chest height. He goes around by himself (of course still under our watch)."
