01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
A peaceful, family-run kampung camp where nine tapak sit by a clear river beneath durian trees.
Every reviewer lands on the same words: clean, calm, friendly — a low-key reset from the city.
The rhythm here is slow: tube the river, eat durian, plug in your fairy lights, and let the PIC sort the rest.
Small enough that strangers end up chatting — it genuinely feels like camping at someone's kampung house.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — ~38 km / 40 min drive from Raub town via Jalan C5 and C150; only 9 tent spots; grass & sand ground; Celcom/Digi/Maxis/Tune Talk/XOX/YES coverage
Remote — ~38 km / 40 min from Raub town; River goes murky and can rise after heavy rain
04 🛏️ Staying at Es Mail Campsite
A tiny, tidy riverside camp tucked into a durian orchard in Kampung Kela — just nine tapak on grass beside the clear Sungai Kela, so the whole place feels private and peaceful. Expect full basic amenities (hot showers, surau, mini market, 24h power) and a camp officer who greets you like family.
- Only 9 tapak - The whole camp is capped at nine tent spots, so it never feels crowded; book early, especially weekends and durian season (from December).
- Sungai Kela at your doorstep - A clear, shallow river made for a dip, tubing and fishing — but it turns murky and can rise after heavy rain, so pick your spot wisely.
- Dusun Durian - The camp sits inside a working durian orchard; durian season (from ~December) means fresh durian on site while you camp.

06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"This is a gem of a campsite. All amenities & facilities desired of a campsite are available and well kept. Never crowded, limited to just 9 spots for your tentages. The river is so 'conducive' and clear unless when it rains the evening before. Can still be improved though, perhaps with a ceiling fan for the surau and 'working' solar lightings all around. We had a great time. Will be back with a bigger group."
