01 Quick Facts
02 🌲 The Vibe
Wave Raider Campsite is a well-maintained riverside camp at Kampung Geruntom, Sungai Itik, Gopeng - run by the same crew behind Wave Raider adventure sports, so white-water rafting is effectively on your doorstep.
Campers rate it for the cleanliness, privacy and friendly owner: numbered lots (tapak 3 is the favourite - near the washroom and washing area, and very private), clean toilets with body wash provided, plug points, and a river that reviewers call genuinely enjoyable.
It's ideal for rafting groups and families who want a clean, organised riverside base. Go in knowing the access road is narrow (the recurring caveat) and the site can be very hot in direct sun on clear weekends.
03 🚗 Getting There
The camp is at Lot 13320, Kampung Geruntom, Sungai Itik, Gopeng - roughly 22 km / 25-30 minutes from Ipoh (estimate from coordinates).
Reviewers flag the access road as a bit narrow - take it slow, especially if another vehicle is coming the other way. On clear weekends the site can be very hot in direct sun, so bring shade.

06 💬 What Campers Are Saying
"Our 2nd time visiting after a year. We took tapak 3 for our group camping, it is near the washroom and washing area and very private. We were blessed with great sunshine that weekend, it can be very hot in the afternoon as there were no shade from trees at tapak 3. For smaller group, recommend to take tapak 2 as there is shade, not too hot yet still near the washroom. The toilets were very clean, spacious, and shower gel also provided. There is not hot shower. Sound from the river can be very loud, light sleepers should prepare earplugs. Power point provided behind the washroom,…"
"The campsite was pretty clean with gravels. The toilet was also clean and comfortable. There’s body wash provided. The river is beautiful but deeper if you too far. It will be a miss if you go camping there without trying their wave raider. It was thrilling and adventure experiences and can make unforgettable memories. Sorry for being exaggerating. The only downside is the plug point is a bit long to reach unless your campsite near them. It will be pretty hot in the afternoon. Make sure to bring your sunblock. And one more thing, if you bring a drone, make sure to not fly too low above the river as it will cause you loss of signal"
"Road leading to campsite is abit narrow, please take note. The campsite is just like all the videos and pictures that I had seen while doing homework. It is really well maintained and there is always someone there to attend to us when we had any questions. The stone ground is paved evenly, not muddy at all, but when it rained, there were part of the campground that was flooded. The place is beautiful, the toilet is 5 stars for a campsite, the place is well lit at night, CO is very friendly. Will definitely come back again for the water rafting experience."
"Overall this feels like the best campsite around Gopeng. I love how privacy it is, the scenery, the environment and of course the CO is very kind. Definitely a repeat again. Toilet is clean and safety is always number 1."
"One of the best river campsite for so far. Very clean, privacy and good facilities. The river is very enjoyable."

08 🏕️ The Camp Tip
- Rafting day means a wet phone - a phone waterproof pouch keeps photos alive through the rapids, and a quick-dry towel handles the after-run shivers.
- River mornings run on breakfast - a Buerk gas stove on the lot makes coffee and eggs before the rafting briefing easy.
- Direct sun is the real enemy here - reviewers warn the site gets hot on clear weekends; a Wellhike camping fan keeps the afternoon bearable.
