01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Sia Campsite is the small riverside camp where the CO makes the stay — reviewers mention his friendliness and his free fruit (cempedak, rambai, maggi even) with genuine warmth. One family drove six hours from Johor for it.
The river is the second star: cold, clean and very cool, with the campsite right beside it. There are 24-hour plug points, a roofed sink, and a BBQ area — small but well-thought-out.
It suits families and quiet campers who want a simple, friendly riverside site. Note the toilets are currently limited (4 + 2 showers) — the owner plans to add more, but plan around it on busy weekends.
03 🚗 Getting There
Sia Campsite is at Kampung Ulu Sungai, 27610 Raub District, Pahang — in the hills behind Raub town, roughly 10-15 minutes off the Raub–Benta road. The approach is through kampung roads; call 011-1051 5962 for exact directions. One family drove 6 hours from Johor and said it was worth it.
It's a quiet kampung setting — call ahead for directions, and note the site can fill up on public holidays (the river-front lots go first).

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- The river is the star — and it's all pebbles. The walk in and out of the water is barefoot-stone territory; Naturehike wading shoes fix that in one.
- Cold river + warm afternoon = instant refresh. A Naturehike quick dry towel dries between swims so the car ride home isn't soggy.
- Evenings by the river get dark fast under the trees. A Naturehike headlamp keeps the sink-to-BBQ shuffle safe.
- River gear, keys, power bank? A Naturehike dry bag keeps electronics dry while the kids splash.
