Pelangi Hill Resort Campsite
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Pelangi Hill is the quiet, family end of the Kerling camping scene — a hill-adjacent resort campsite where a calm lake and a landscaped stream do the heavy lifting. Reviewers keep coming back to the same three words: calm vibe, clean site, kids friendly.
There's a playground for the little ones, red-roofed pavilions with picnic tables for the adults, and kayaking on the lake for anyone who wants to get wet. It's a newer campsite — one reviewer calls it a 'new campsite area', and a visitor update notes it was still being completed but already worth visiting. The result is a relaxed, beautiful spot that families rate highly.
03 🚗 Getting There
Pelangi Hill Resort sits at Lot 257, Taman Lembah Damai in Kerling (plus code JJ39+V7), on the Hulu Selangor trunk-road belt between Kuala Kubu Bharu and Tanjung Malim. From KL it's roughly 1.5 hours — take the North-South Expressway north and follow the trunk road toward Kerling. Parking is on site. The grounds are compact: lake, stream, pavilions and the playground are all within a short walk of each other, which is exactly what families with small kids want.
Because the site was still being completed as of the most recent visitor updates, it's worth messaging the Facebook page before a big group trip to confirm which facilities (toilets, showers) are ready on your weekend.
04 🛏️ Staying at Pelangi Hill
This is a BYO tent camping ground — grassy pitches around the lake and stream, no glamping units mentioned in reviews. What makes it family-friendly is everything around the pitch: pavilions with picnic tables, a kids playground, and a calm lake for kayaking. Day-trippers come for the pavilions and the water; campers get the same grounds after dark.
- Camping pitch (BYO tent) - Grassy pitches near the lake and stream — bring your own tent, table and chairs.
- Day visit / picnic - Pavilions with picnic tables and a playground make it easy for non-campers to spend the day.
- Water activities - Calm lake with kayaking in camper photos, plus a shallow stream for wading.
05 🛠 Facilities
🏞 Lake & stream— a calm lake sits at the edge of the site (kayaking shows up in camper photos) and a landscaped stream runs through the grounds, bridged at the pavilions.
🛝 Kids & family— playground, swing and open grassy park; reviewers consistently call the place kids friendly.
🏕 Pavilion & picnic— red-roofed pavilions with picnic tables and benches, plus space for an outdoor grill — camper photos show cooking with fresh vegetables.
06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"Everything was amazing — really kids friendly."
"Helpful staff with good service — chilled environment with beautiful nature."
"New campsite area — clean, lots of choices, still being completed but already good to visit."
Google's rating spread (4.5★ / 19 reviews: 11 five-star, 7 four-star, 1 three-star, checked 21 Aug 2026) is almost uniformly positive. The recurring themes are calm vibe, cleanliness, beautiful place and a kids playground; the one honest caveat is that the site was still under gradual completion in recent updates — the grounds were already visitable and enjoyable, but confirm facility readiness before a big group.

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- The stream runs right through the grounds — the kids will be in it all day. The lake edge and the shallow stream are where everyone ends up, and wet grass plus concrete steps is a recipe for slips; a pair of Naturehike wading shoes turns the whole water area into safe play space.
- Kayaking and phones don't mix. Camper photos show kayaks out on the calm lake — the single most useful thing you'll pack is a Naturehike phone waterproof bag, so the lake selfies don't end in a drowned phone.
- The pitches are open grass, not hard ground. Bring something between you and the lawn — a Wellhike mattress makes a grassy pitch sleep like a proper bed.
- Family campsites like this fill up fast on weekends. If you're coming with kids, an Spark air tent pitches in minutes and leaves more daylight for the playground and the lake.
