06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"Comfortable chalet, camp site right in front of the river. Listen to the sound of water, birds chirping early in the morning, really peaceful. Staff named Afiq who guided us with the ATV was very good and friendly."
"Hut RM40, car parking RM3. Beautiful area, shallow water but very fast. There is accommodation and camping site. Surau provided. Toilets have to pay 50 sen / shower RM1. Can rent a bicycle RM10. ATV / buoy rental is also provided."
"Too crowded with people who come for day picnic. Very limited area for camping by the river. The grass area is taken up as car park. The area is not very well maintained, lots of rubbish left behind by picnic guests."
