Taman Eko Rimba Komanwel
01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Taman Eko Rimba Komanwel is a hidden family campsite inside the Lagong Forest Reserve — the same forest belt as Templer Park — where the camping grounds, a small lake and a clean river sit beside a resort of wooden lodges, glamping tents and chalets. Reviewers repeat the same line in different words: the place is clean, peaceful, safe and exceptionally well maintained, with clean toilets called out in 27 reviews and several calling it the cleanest campsite they have stayed at. The other thing everyone mentions is the monkeys (22 reviews) — the forest is theirs, so food stays sealed. Kayaking on the lake, a surau on site, and a resort side that handles birthdays and families make this one of Rawang's most complete forest stays.
03 🚗 Getting There
The campsite sits inside Lagong Forest Reserve at KM 23 Jalan Rawang, Compartment 3, 48000 Rawang, Selangor (plus code 7JQ8+PF) — the forest belt that also holds Templer Park and the Commonwealth Forest Park. From KL it is roughly 45 minutes by car via the North-South Expressway towards Rawang; from Rawang town it is a short drive up Jalan Rawang into the reserve. The access road leads into quiet forest, and reviewers call the place well hidden — follow the resort signage and Google Maps rather than trusting generic highway signs. Parking is on site.
Being inside a forest reserve means wildlife comes with the stay — the resident monkeys are the camp's most-reviewed character (22 mentions). Keep food sealed, tents zipped, and don't feed them. Rates are not published anywhere on the listing, so call 012-276 1609 before you go.
04 🛏️ Staying at Eko Rimba Komanwel
Two ways to stay: BYO tent camping on the family campsite grounds, or resort units — glamping tents, chalets and cottages for the roof-and-bed crowd. The camping side is the classic self-sufficient forest stay: pitch, lake, river, done. The resort side is where reviewers show birthdays being celebrated in decked-out glamping tents. Rates are not published, so every booking starts with a call to 012-276 1609 or a message through komanwelresort.com.

"Friendly staff and great environment. Just to be mindful of your foods due to monkey may visit your campsite."
"A well hidden campsite facility within the forests of Templer Park, if camping is your thing or even if you prefer chalets. There is a small restaurant if you want to eat there, but otherwise it’s just a few minutes drive out to the highway where you can get food at nearby eateries."
"Too many monkeys. The optimal amount of monkeys in this park is zero. Its about time for jabatan hutan to cull the population of this invasive species."
Google's rating spread (4.4★ / 296 reviews, checked 21 Aug 2026) is dominated by family-stay praise: clean toilets (27 mentions), a peaceful and safe atmosphere, lake kayaking and the forest setting. The recurring caveat is the monkeys (22 mentions) — reviewers remind everyone to keep food secured and tents zipped. A few note the camping side is more basic than the resort facilities, and that rates are not published anywhere on the listing.

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- Monkeys are the resident food inspectors — pack a sealed cooler. They are mentioned in over 20 reviews, and the golden rule here is that food never sits out; a Blackdog cooler box keeps food sealed and safe between meals.
- The lake paddle is worth doing — keep your phone dry. Kayaking is one of the camp's signature activities, and lake breezes and splashes find everything; a Naturehike phone waterproof bag straps your phone safe while you are on the water.
- The river is clean but rocky — shoes on for the kids. The clean river is a big family draw, and little feet find every stone; a pair of Naturehike wading shoes makes wading comfortable and grippy.
- It's a family campsite — gear-hauling is half the work. Pitches sit back from parking across the forest grounds, so the walk-in is real; a Mobi Garden wagon saves your back (and the kids' legs) on the way to the pitch.
