01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Camp Mantap is the durian-orchard river camp that groups love — spotless loos, a kids-safe river and a CO who runs the place like clockwork. The site sits in a durian orchard with the river stream along one side and spacious, well-maintained lots on the flat ground — green, calm and big enough for large groups to spread out.
The clean toilets get called out again and again, and the river is genuinely kids-friendly with shallow, calm stretches. The CO is the other highlight: welcoming, helpful, and experienced with large groups — a 38-pax booking was handled with a full safety briefing and team coordination.
It suits big groups, families and first-time campers — one reviewer's lot fit four tents easily. Note the last stretch of road is stony and bumpy: drive slowly, and high clearance helps.
03 🚗 Getting There
Camp Mantap is at 101, Ladang Bentong Estate, Kampung Baru Sungai Penjuring, 28700 Bentong, Pahang — about 1.5 hours from KL via the Karak Highway (E8) toward Bentong. The approach is through estate roads; reviewers note the last stretch is stony and bumpy for sedans, so drive slowly. The phone line is 013-382 5101.
The final estate road is stony and bumpy for sedans — take it slow and a high-clearance car is a bonus.

06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"One of the best campsites we’ve been to. Kids friendly river. Clean toilets!!!!! CO was very nice. We initially booked for lot3 but had a change of mind the day before, so we asked to upgrade to a diff lot. however when we arrived we change to another lot just cs it has stairs to go down the river so easier for kids. overall very repeatable 10/10! just a tiny feedback: maybe set some rules particularly on loud music and karaoke at night cs the noise make it difficult to unwind 😬"
"My second visit to the site. Every time come with larger group of friends! Host very accomodating and friendly. Kids enjoy the river very much. Will definately come 2 times a year. Hope have chance to enjoy some durian in the next trip. Its cold at night around July but quite warm in March."
"We will definitely be back for sure! Booked out the whole place as we have 38 pax in total. The team gave us a safety briefing, team & amenities introduction. The toilets are so clean with hot water, washing basin were as clean as new and the whole place are very well maintained. The river were amazing & clear, we were like capybara resting ourselves in the river the whole day. The guided ATV is also highly recommended, very exhilarating & team prioritise our safety by having some one to follow us at the back. Professional & helpful team - Shawn, Jenny, Louis, Ali, Gabriel & Eve thank you so much for the great hospitality & professionalism! For the record - we booked for 3 days 2 nights, we ended up extending another night at Camp Mantap! :) "
"Love this camp. Undoubtedly one of our most memorable campsite. Road was quite stoney and bumpy for sedan nearing the campsite. CO greeted us upon arrival. Even updated us through whatsapp when electricity was down. We chatted with an elderly chinese uncle was very friendly and welcoming. He offered us mini banana too! Love that interaction. Facilities like toilets were clean and maintained daily. Which was much appreciated. Hope other future campers can help maintain the cleanliness and environment 🙏🏻 Memang mantap! Hope to be back with the same clean campsite as we first visited. Restrooms Clean. Well maintained. +4 "
"Nice campsite located in durian orchard by the river, clean and calm place. River is suitable for my kids to play. Toilet is super clean with hot shower. Plug point 24hours for all camp. We have a fond memories of this campsite, making new friends and sudden heavy rain during packing my flysheet. My only suggestion is to add surau for Muslim to pray. 0:12 +4 "

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- The river lot is all pebbles and sand. Getting to the kids-friendly swimming stretch means barefoot stones — a pair of Naturehike wading shoes sorts the whole family.
- Kids come out of the river dripping. With the stream beside camp, towels are in constant use — a Naturehike quick dry towel dries between swims.
- River play means splash zone. Phones, keys and snacks stay safer in a Naturehike waterproof bag by the water.
- Group meals are the norm here. With big groups and shared cook-ups, proper Ise Mount tableware beats disposable plates for the durian-farm feast.
