Pasir Raja Campsite
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Pasir Raja Campsite is a newer riverside campsite in Kuala Krai, Kelantan, set beside a clear, shallow river that stays knee-deep for adults — a genuinely child-friendly swimming spot near the Lata Rek waterfall. Tent sites are wide and spacious, each with a 24-hour plug point, and the facilities are basic but tidy: public toilets and showers, a surau, washing sinks and cooking areas, plus chalets and a cafe. It's popular with campervan jamborees and families, and day-visit picnics are welcome. The honest catches: too few toilets for busy weekends (long waits reported), toilet lights sometimes out, shower pressure can be weak, and the river rocks are slippery with moss — walk carefully. The river turns murky after rain, so time your visit for dry spells.
