01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
The HIJAU Camp & Cabin sits in the Ulu Geruntum valley north of Gopeng - a riverside forest escape that mixes air-conditioned glamping villas with private pools and rentable tent-campsite pitches right along the river. Prefer a soft bed? Book a villa. Rather pitch your own dome? Rent a campsite spot directly from the camp.
Reviewers keep coming back to the same three things: the exclusivity (several guests mention having the whole site to themselves), the villa quality (spacious, clean, comfortable, with a private pool), and a 360° nature setting that feels completely removed from the road.
It suits couples, families and small groups who want a campy, outdoorsy feel but insist on a bed, a pool and air-con. Both worlds are covered: villa guests split their nights between the valley view and the pool deck, while tent campers get the classic campsite night on the grounds.
03 🚗 Getting There
From Ipoh, head out toward Gopeng / Ulu Geruntum. The villas sit up in the valley, roughly a 25-35 minute drive from Ipoh and about 5 km from Gopeng town. Access is by road the whole way - no boat, no trail carry.
Google rates the location 2.6/5 for visitors (sightseeing, food, getting around) - it's a quiet valley spot, so plan to drive out for town amenities. Exact driving distances will be finalised from co-ordinates before publish.
04 🛏️ Staying at The HIJAU
You can stay two ways: in a self-contained glamping villa or cabin, or by pitching your own tent on the campsite the camp rents out. Most villa stays mention a private or outdoor pool, air-conditioned rooms and a calm, uncrowded site. Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out by 12:00 pm (villa terms).
- Two ways to stay - book a glamping villa/cabin, or bring your own tent and rent a campsite pitch directly from the camp (WhatsApp/call preferred).
- Pool time is the point - bring swimwear; the private-pool villa comments are the most consistent praise.
- Bring a proper camp chair if you want to sit out on the deck or by the pool in the evening - most villas offer basic outdoor seating, but your own chair is the difference-maker for long lazy evenings.
05 🛠 Facilities
🏊 Swimming - An outdoor pool, plus private-pool villa options. Consistently the most-praised feature in reviews - if you're booking a villa, the private-pool upgrade is usually worth it.
❄️ Comfort - Air-conditioned villas and cabins with a proper bed and shower - the difference-maker if you choose the villa route. Prefer the classic night? Rent a tent pitch on the campsite instead (BYO tent).
🍳 Food - A paid breakfast is available and reviewers describe the food as a highlight. Confirm whether breakfast is included in your rate before booking - it varies between OTAs.
📶 Connectivity & parking - Free Wi-Fi and free parking on site, with a business centre also listed. Handy if you plan to base yourself here while working the valley.
06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"We spent 2D1N and had the entire place to ourselves - peaceful, exclusive and very relaxing."
"The villa is spacious, clean and comfortable, complete with a private pool. Great choice for families."
"A 360-degree retreat immersed in nature - enchanting location, well-maintained rooms and delicious food."
Google's rating spread (checked 20 Aug 2026: 5★ 329 · 4★ 39 · 3★ 15 · 2★ 1 · 1★ 4) is heavily positive. The recurring themes are the private pool, the calm/exclusive setting and the food. The handful of lower stars mostly concern booking/pricing or luggage-type issues rather than the site itself - worth a call to confirm your preferred villa before booking.

08 🏊 The Camp Tip
- Swim is the star - pack swimwear and a quick-dry towel; the private-pool villa is the highest-rated pick.
- Deck evenings - a Blackdog × Lovork bluetooth speaker and an inflatable sofa turn the pool deck into the best seat in the valley.
- Stock up before the drive up - the valley is peaceful but bare; snacks and water are worth grabbing in Gopeng before you arrive.
