Campsite Lata Cikgu
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Quiet, private and family-focused — the no-day-picnic rule keeps the ground calm and reserved for campers.
A nature retreat beside a clear, cold waterfall pool, run by a friendly owner who clearly cares.
Small, unpretentious and welcoming — 'owner 👍👍👍' says one camper, and the reviews echo it.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — Plus code GFG5+8R, 22010 Jerteh; final approach climbs one fairly steep hill; ~25–30 km south of Jerteh town, self-drive only
Steep hill on the entrance road; No day picnics — overnight campers only
04 🛏️ Staying at Campsite Lata Cikgu
A small, family-run riverside camp where you pitch your tent a few steps from a clear, cold waterfall pool — swimming with the kids by day, quiet campfire evenings by the river, with a friendly owner on hand.
- Pitch beside the waterfall pool - Sites sit on spacious, well-kept ground right by the river; reviewers call the water calm, clean and clear ('henih') — ideal for children.
- Camping-only privacy - Day picnics aren't allowed, so the ground stays reserved for overnight campers — privacy and quiet come up again and again in reviews.
- Facilities that punch above their size - Clean toilets, a surau, plug points (RM10/night) and an on-site mini shop selling ice and basics — rare for a private ground this size.
Book ahead: no online booking — call/WhatsApp 011-5514 9315 or message the Facebook page 'Campsite Lata Cikgu'. Rates (camper-reported): RM30/site/night, plug point RM10/night, RM5 if you want the camp to dispose of your trash — otherwise take it out yourself. Rules: overnight campers only (no day picnics) and dogs are strictly not allowed. Bring: trash bags, your own food (or grab ice/basics from the mini shop), and drive carefully up the steep entrance hill.
05 🛠 Facilities
🏕️ Riverside camping ground — Spacious, clean sites right by the river with room to spread out — big enough for events and family days.
🚻 Clean toilets & surau — Toilet blocks that reviewers repeatedly praise ('very clean toilet', 'best toilet'), plus a prayer room on site.
⚡ Plug points — Electricity at sites for RM10/night — enough for lights, fans and charging phones.
🏪 Mini grocery store — Small on-site shop selling ice and daily basics, so you don't have to leave camp mid-trip.
