Big Red Strawberry Farm In Cameron Highlands

Location

You’ll have to pass by Cactus Valley and Cactus View Restaurant to get to this place. We recommend driving up higher for parking rather than parking your car lower since the farm is almost at the top of the hill.

Ease Of Parking

Big Red Strawberry Farm has no shortage of their own parking. Once you drive up the hill there, are parking lots at the top. However, there are only a few spaces that are sheltered from the rain.

Even if these nearby parking lots are full, don’t worry. Just follow the signs for the exit and there are even more car park slots around the hill!

There are many signs cautioning drivers on going slow when driving up and down this hill. The way down is treacherously steep.

We find it an ironic coincidence that there are a few car repair shops right after you reach the bottom of the hill when leaving the farm.

Ambiance

For a place that doesn’t charge any entry fees, Big Red Strawberry Farm is relatively well-maintained.

They are also well prepared for the weekend crowds as there are many tables and chairs for dining at their on-site café or enjoying your freshly picked strawberries.

There are many different sections though most are not accessible:

The hydroponic vegetable farm takes up the middle portion while the back sections are dedicated to a gift shop, café, and an arcade center.

Conclusion

With no entrance fees imposed, a visit to the Big Red Strawberry Farm is very affordable for families. Here, you can pick fresh salad and strawberries.

Besides this, there is a spacious café with a wide variety of food to try. Their attractions are very family-friendly. The garden is small but is well cared for.

This place is very lively during weekends and public holidays so if you prefer to avoid the crowds, go on a weekday, before 11am, or after 1pm when the lunch crowd starts thinning out.

Cactus Valley

Before the strawberry farm, there is another attraction that you can visit lower down the hill. Cactus Valley is not connected to Big Red Strawberry Farm. They charge entry fees too. We do not recommend this hilly spot if you have elderly in your group.
