01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
REX Camp Site is a riverside camping ground on the Kampar River in Kampung Jahang — the rafting hub of Gopeng — run by the same team as REX River Explorer, one of the area's best-known white-water rafting outfits (and formerly called REX-PUBG CAMP).
The Google record is 4.8★ from 132 reviews — one of the strongest in the valley. The reviews are unusually consistent: clean toilets get mentioned again and again, along with a kids-safe stream, friendly staff, and rafting guides who are "the best".
It suits families, rafting groups and budget campers who want the river right next to the tent without paying resort prices — one reviewer paid about RM50/night for 2 adults + 2 kids. The honest caveats: plug points are only at the common area with power after 7pm, showers are open-air, and there's no official rate list — confirm on WhatsApp.

REX Camp Site is at Lot 42129, Kampung Jahang, Gopeng — roughly 20 km / 30 minutes from Ipoh (est.), south on the Gopeng road. Kampung Jahang is the rafting hub of Gopeng, so the drive is straightforward. Search REX CAMP SITE PERAK on Waze/Google Maps.

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- The kids-safe stream is the family draw — a pair of Naturehike wading shoes makes river time easy and safe for little feet.
- BBQ & picnic by the river — a Blackdog cooler box keeps drinks and marinated meat cold from morning till evening.
- Riverside picnics deserve a proper spot — a Mobi Garden picnic mat spreads the whole family out on the bank.
- Power only comes on after 7pm here — a Blackdog camping light covers the early evening before the common-area power kicks in.
