Camper site Bukit Selantai
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
A genuinely peaceful kampung campsite where the loudest sound at night is the cicadas and the best view is the star-filled sky.
The host family treats you like a guest in their home, not a customer — expect warm welcomes and small kindnesses.
Laid-back and family-friendly: kids bounce on the trampoline and explore the orchard while adults bike to the beach for sunset.
Simple, honest and affordable — closer to an authentic kampung sleepover than a resort, and that's exactly why guests return.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — Lot 447, Jalan Teluk Buih, Kg Air Papan, Mersing — signed at the T-junction of Jalan Air Papan / Jalan Teluk Buih. ~9 km (15 min) east of Mersing town; Air Papan beach is a short bike ride away.

04 🛏️ Staying at Camper site Bukit Selantai
A laid-back kampung-side campsite on the edge of Air Papan beach: pitch a tent, park a campervan, or take a VIP glamping tent with aircon, and use the free bicycles to roll down to the beach. Guests rave about the friendly host family and the quiet, starry nights.
- Sleep under canvas or a roof - Pick between own-tent plots with power points and night lamps, VIP glamping tents (aircon + fan + mattress), simple budget rooms, or RV/motorhome parking with RM10/night electricity.

- Hosts who actually care - Kak Fadilah and the team are the heart of this place — reviews repeatedly praise the warm welcome, the helpful helper, and the small touches like a fruit orchard for kids to explore.
