"A wonderful place to spend your weekend. The water is so cool and crystal clear when we went there last two weeks. You need to go there early to get good place to bathe. Usually, by noon, there will be a lot of people. You have to pay RM3 as entrance fee per car. It is worth visiting."
"Clean camping site for family with clean toilet facilities. Its privately owned so everything have to pay including 'Wakaf', pool and campsite."

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- Telaga Bijih is a pay-per-item riverside site — a Naturehike mosquito repellent makes the pool and river day easier, and a Shinetrip storage box keeps the whole family shaded at the wakaf.
- The water is cold and crystal clear, and it gets crowded by noon — a Blackdog camping fan light for the kids, and a Blackdog picnic mat so you can claim a good bathing spot early.
- Families camp here all weekend — a Buerk gas stove handles the tapak night, and a Blackdog camping chair keeps drinks cold for the whole crew.
