"Had an amazing stay at Payung Getaway Campsite & RV! The beach is beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect place to unwind. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise was definitely the highlight of the trip."

Payung Getaway Campsite & RV Park sits on a strip of private white-sand beach at Cherating Lama, with a calm river and mangroves at the back — the rare spot where you get sunrise over the sea and sunset over the river. It is gated with passcode entry, family-run, and reviewers rave about the on-site food. Facilities are basic but the setting is the draw.
