Gaharu Campsite and Resort
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Gaharu is the quiet end of the Kuala Kubu Bharu camping scene — a gated, private camping farm where gaharu (agarwood) trees shade the lawns, a calm waterway runs through the property, and the foothill air turns properly chilly after dark. Reviewers keep coming back to the same words: calm, peaceful, clean and "feel like duduk di kampung". There are no riverside party vibes here — it's families and friends gathering for a slow weekend, plus a simple homestay bungalow for those who don't want to sleep on the ground.
03 🚗 Getting There
From Kuala Kubu Bharu town it's a short drive of about 1.8 km to Kampung Dagang Setia — the site sits close to the main road yet stays gated and tranquil. Parking is free on site. From KL it's roughly 1-1.5 hours via the Karak Highway or LATAR; from Rawang, about 45-50 minutes.
Reviewers specifically note the contrast: close to the main road for easy access, but the grounds are quiet and serene once you're inside the gate. The owner's staff stay at the entrance, so there's always someone around for assistance.
04 🛏️ Staying at Gaharu
Two ways to stay: BYO tent camping on the lawns with the site's shared common facilities, or the single-storey bungalow rooms (air conditioning + water heater) that reviewers book via Airbnb. Camping is basic and clean with hot showers; the bungalow is simple homestay style — reviewers describe it as basic, simple and clean, not luxury.
- BYO tent camping - Pitch your own tent on the grounds — clean shared washrooms and shower with hot water, complete common facilities (per reviewers).
- Bungalow / homestay room - Single-storey house units with air conditioning and water heater — simple, clean, booked via Airbnb by reviewers.
- Rates - No public pricing listed — contact 014-981 1288 or the Airbnb listing to confirm.
05 🛠 Facilities
🚿 Camp facilities— reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness and the "complete common facilities": washroom, shower and water heater, kept in good order.
🌳 Grounds & setting— gaharu (agarwood) trees and palms shade the lawns, with a calm waterway running through the property; it feels like a quiet kampung retreat. There's no fixed seating by the water, so families set up their own camping chairs on the grass.
🚗 Access— about 1.8 km from KKB town and close to the main road, yet gated and tranquil; free parking on site.

Google's rating spread (4.9★ / 30 reviews, checked 21 Aug 2026) is close to unanimous — there is no meaningful negative thread in the short review set. The highs are the calm and peaceful setting, the clean facilities and the helpful staff (mentioned in 5 reviews); the recurring review chips are calmness, environment, cleanliness, campground, bungalow and water heater. The only mild caveats are the modest location score (2.9) and rooms that reviewers call basic rather than fancy.

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- The KKB air is cooler than KL — towels dry slowly. Reviewers keep mentioning the chilly nights and mornings; a regular towel hangs damp till noon. A Naturehike quick dry towel dries fast even in the cool air.
- Self-cater for the whole weekend. The site is only 1.8 km from KKB town but families arrive with a full load of groceries; a Blackdog cooler box keeps the day's food and drinks cold by the pitch.
- The best spots are on the lawns by the waterway. The gaharu trees keep the grass shaded for most of the day — throw down a Mobi Garden picnic mat and the kids have a base while the adults relax.
- You park at the gate and carry gear in. Free parking, then a walk across the garden paths — a Mobi Garden wagon saves the back-and-forth trips with tents, chairs and coolers.
