06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"We didn't stay overnight either. To rent this tent, we dealt with Mr. Soni.. The one who arranged it there.. Only Rm30. We didn't know that we had to book this tent first.. But our luck came that day, there was someone who was renting LG.. thank God. We could stay overnight too. Picnic area Child and family friendly.. Toilets and surau are there, although not complete. It's standard in a forest area, right?.. Water and electricity are also there, which is enough to enjoy the beauty of nature, right?.. Relaxing"
"Forest and river campsite Power point facilities Male and female toilets Surau The depth of the river is suitable for children to bathe in the water. I rented a site with a hut. Rm60 per night. No additional fees."
"If you like secluded place to hang out with your family and friends while enjoying nature, this is the place to be. The river was quite shallow so its not dangerous for kids to play even in the middle of it. Clear water and greeneries around you will sure to bring peace from the hustle and bustle of the city. Need to book upfront for your choice of 'pondok' so you have the place all to yourself. On a side note, there will be two ways (road) that lead to the place. Its not a tarmac road so be prepared to have a little bit of off-road experience. But worry not as my sedan was able to arrive safely at the destination."
"The cleanliness of the toilets and surau should be given more attention to ensure the comfort of all visitors. Apart from that, all the facilities and atmosphere here are very good and family friendly, making children feel comfortable and happy to be here."
"The place is really great..suitable for a big family and there are children..we can monitor the people playing from afar..will repeat again when we come..because everything is complete, there are some equipments that you have to bring yourself..and ask the owner to upgrade the toilet near the surau so that you can take a shower comfortably..it's a little smaller than the right side..and I suggest putting a bucket in case there is no water..like when I went..had to wait for people to come and then the water came quickly..overall very nice.."
"The staff are friendly & will help us when we arrive, the river area is shallow & best for relaxing. There are cribs around the river Restrooms 2 toilets with 2 showers but there is a shower for each cabin Picnic area"

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- The river is shallow but stony. Toddlers splash happily, but the bed is rocky — a pair of Naturehike wading shoes keeps little feet safe.
- After river time, dry off fast. Cold spring water and tropical air mean damp towels everywhere — a Naturehike quick dry towel earns its place.
- Keep gear dry by the water. Splash zones near the huts are common — a Naturehike waterproof bag protects phones and valuables.
- Hut cook-ups are a thing here. With cooking equipment provided, proper Ise Mount tableware makes the family meals feel like home.
