Chekgu Mary Campsite
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Quiet, breezy and orderly — a palm-plantation clearing where calm evenings and dim decorative lights set a laid-back, healing mood.
The vibe here is 'clean camping done right': gravel underfoot, spotless loos, and owners who genuinely care about guests.
Kids' laughter around the pool and playground by day, then a peaceful, starry hush at night under the palms.
A safe, fuss-free weekend base for families and first-timers escaping JB and Singapore.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — ~30 numbered sites on gravel in an oil palm plantation off Jln Kampung Temenin; easy car access, ~1.5h from JB/Singapore

04 🛏️ Staying at Chekgu Mary Campsite
A tidy oil-palm-plantation campsite near Kota Tinggi where the spotless toilets are the star — campers rave about the 'A+' restrooms, friendly host Joe and quiet, breezy nights, with a shallow river and a kids pool on site.
- The famous 'A+' toilets - Reviewers across the board call these the cleanest camp toilets they've seen — decorated, well-kept, with proper showers, mirrors, sinks and towel hooks. The camp's own TikTok bio promises 'Jaminan tandas A+' (A+ toilet guarantee).
- Friendly host, safe site - Owner Abang Joe is singled out for hospitality in review after review, and campers report daily police patrols — a reassuring plus for first-timers and Singapore families.
- Family-first extras - Kids pool with natural water, small playground, mini mart, plugpoints at every numbered site and a campfire corner make it an easy first camping trip for beginners.
- Reserve via WhatsApp 017-705 5570 or 012-799 9766 — no website, and weekends fill fast.
- Bring long tent pegs: some gravel sites have soft soil underneath.
- Site lighting is dim — pack a headlamp/table lamp.
- Oil palm = insects: bring repellent.
- Cash is handy for the on-site mini mart.
05 🛠 Facilities
🚻 The 'A+' toilets — Three men's and three women's stalls kept immaculately clean, decorated with flowers and bright LED lights, with proper showers and sinks. The camp's proudest feature — but only 6 stalls for ~30 sites, so expect queues on full weekends.
👨👩👧 Kids pool & playground — A small pool with natural water plus a mini playground keeps children entertained, and reviewers say the owners run activities for kids too. Parents call it a win-win for family weekends.
🛒 Mini mart & plugpoints — Every numbered site has a plugpoint, and a small shop on site sells the essentials you forgot. Two conveniences that tip first-timers into booking.
🌴 Shaded gravel sites — ~30 flat, well-drained gravel sites under oil palm shade — cool during the day, dim and peaceful at night. Bring long pegs for the softer spots.
🔥 Campfire & riverside — A strategic campfire corner at the edge of the site and a river running beside the camp (too shallow to bathe, perfect for ambience and kids' paddling). Nearby waterfall attractions are a short drive away.
