Redang Campstay
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Redang Campstay is a quiet, private beachfront campstay on the Telok Kalong side of Pulau Redang — away from the resort crowds of Pasir Panjang. Tents sit right on the sand with sea views, and the friendly local team built the camp themselves. Snorkeling is superb just steps from the tents, with turtles, corals and colourful fish. Expect island simplicity: cold showers, no fans or aircon, solar-powered charging that is slow on cloudy days, and boat access only from Merang jetty. Rates run roughly RM138–210 per night depending on season.
03 🚗 Getting There
Getting there — Reach Pulau Redang by boat from Merang jetty (~30-45 min), camp is on Telok Kalong, less than 1 km from Pasir Panjang Beach; pack water shoes for the coral seabed and bring personal toiletries, instant food/snacks

06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"Honestly on of the coolest places I've stayed at on my travels, it is literally the perfect spot if u want a full island experience... You sleep on the back of a beautiful beach with crystal waters, which is amazing to hear the peaceful sound of the waves as your falling asleep. I could not recommend this place enough to any backpackers, a must visit"
"This campstay was magic. We checked in where there were only a couple of people, making the island feel entirely ours-a private, untouched escape. The nature was stunning: the sea teemed with sea cucumbers, and the pristine white sand was incredibly clean. Thanks to the kitchen fascilities, we managed to cook our own meal, just like home."
"A very beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable place. Waking up in the morning with the sunrise right in front of you is truly amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Perfect for families and kids. All cooking facilities are provided, and the bathrooms are clean."
Redang Campstay sits on Telok Kalong, the quiet side of Pulau Redang — a private stretch of sand where the tents are pitched right at the waterline. Run by a friendly local team who built the camp themselves, it offers the island experience without the resort price tag: shared kitchen, BBQ area, solar power, and snorkeling with turtles steps from your tent. Access is by boat from Merang jetty, and the nearest food options are a beach walk or a short water taxi away. Expect basic but clean comforts — cold showers, thin mattresses, and the sound of waves instead of wifi.
