01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
SIR Camping Site is the safe, gated pick in Janda Baik — green lawns, a fishing pond and a dark zone made for stargazing. The site spreads over a lush green area with a large lawn, fishing pond and separate zones, with a high gate that keeps it private and not visible from the road.
The "dark zone" is the star spot for clear nights — reviewers camp there specifically for the stars. The grounds stay well maintained, there's a fishing pond on site, and a trolley is available to haul gear from the car park — which some reviewers joke is the only exercise they got.
It suits beginners, families and anyone who values safety and privacy — a first-time camper called it a great pick. Just note toilet upkeep and head-count control can be tighter on busy weekends, and car park space is limited but manageable.

06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"Limited car park space available but manageable. This camp site is highly recommended. The price is reasonably cheap. Huge space to setup your tent around the lake. Owner is very friendly. He even setup campfire for us. Night time was really chilling and cold. Nice weather. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. Toilet is provided. Dish washing area is provided as well. Maybe toilet facility can be further improve. It was also a durian season. So we get to eat durian for free. You have to go pick it up yourself. Owner will also give you a few. Cendol durian is also provided for free. We paid total of RM100 for two nights for two paxs. What a steal!. 0:07 +9 4 "
"Nice little camp ground, but. Camp operator need to further control the head count. Many campers with big tent easily fits 4-5 ppls (but still charged only RM50-70?), so it easily become super crowded and there is only 1 toilet and 1 shower … More 9 "
"Beautiful scenery with a relaxing vibe and a nice fishing pond. But the toilet was a disaster. Why do some campsites often overlook this issue while some campsites maintain higher standards? With the rental price not being cheap, upgrading the toilet and hiring staff for cleaning every 3 hours should be a basic priority. Loved the campsite but not the toilet. Even the kids felt geli to use it. Hope they improve this. When my friend asked about the toilet photos, i just said tak sanggup nak take photos. That says it all 😂 "
"Campsite environment is good, private and safe, pretty well maintained and bathrooms are relatively clean. At the center of the campsite, there is a small fish pond available for fishing with practice catch and release. Staffs were friendly and helpful. Even the CO came to checked and offered help during strong gusty winds and rain at night. At night time temperature gradually cools. +2 "
"A very nice place to chill with your loved ones.. We really enjoy our stay there. The campsite team is very helpful and attentive. We love the scenic morning view and the cold weather during the night. There’s a stream just opposite the campsite entrance, very refreshing water. Fishing is allowed, catch and release concept. +2 4 "
"As a beginner, I'm glad that I came here for my first time camping. The scenery was amazing, especially at nighttime. Even though the rain is pouring pretty hard, I'm still enjoying my time there. The toilet, camping ground, car park are all manageable. You won't feel uncomfortable at all. +2 "

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- Janda Baik evenings cool down fast. The valley air turns crisp after sunset — a Wellhike thermos of hot drink suits the dark-zone stargazing sessions.
- Nights here carry a real chill. The open lawn loses heat quickly — a Wellhike sleeping bag keeps you warm through the cold hours.
- The lawn and pond bring evening mozzies. Water and grass attract mosquitoes at dusk — a Naturehike mosquito killing lamp keeps the tent area clear.
- Dark zone means proper darkness. For stargazing the site goes genuinely dark — a Naturehike headlamp with a red mode protects your night vision.
