Leave hectic city life for refuge in the jungle with these rustic campsites in Selangor. Many are within an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur.
Camping is therapeutic for the soul yet light on the wallet!
Check out this comprehensive list with both private camping sites and publicly owned ones. Any of which are ideal venues to unwind with your family and friends!
1. Ajin Campsite
This campground is right beside the riverbank of Hulu Langat. The clear stream teeming with fish and small prawns is the highlight of staying at Ajin Campsite.
Depending on which slot you book, you can drive pretty close to your campsite. Thus, sparing you from hauling your camping paraphernalia to your designated camping spot. We think this is a huge advantage of camping here!
Bear in mind that the amenities at Ajin Campsite are bare bones. There is only 1 toilet to share among 37 base camps. Moreover, Wi-Fi connection is next to zero here.
Tip: Bring along a portable Wi-Fi to stay connected on social media and the rest of the world.

2. Hulu Tamu Eco Resort Campsite
40km from the heart of Petaling Jaya, this scenic campsite in Selangor is ideal for newbies. Or anyone who prefers glamping-style facilities in a rugged terrain.
Hulu Tamu Eco Resort Campsite has sweeping views of ample greenery. The campground is below verdant rolling hills in a budding durian orchard.
The 24 tapak (camping sites) are in varying sizes and occupy the higher ground beside the river. We love the generous spacing from one base to the other. This affords campers privacy and space to set up their belongings.

3. Summer Summer Farm
This relatively new campsite over at Batang Kali is next to a clear river (Hulu Rening) that’s shallow enough for kids.
Besides this, it has awesome facilities. We really like that their shared amenities (like the kitchen and shower area) are kept nice and clean.
They have two campsites that can fit a total of 14 tents. But if you don’t have your own tents, you can book their glamping domes.
Overall, this is handsdown our favorite campground in Selangor. See more photos or read more about Summer Summer Farm here.

Hence, many of these camping grounds are often booked one month in advance. Especially for weekends and public holidays. So, book in advance to secure your next campsite.
Camperz Hideout
This beautiful camping ground next to a durian orchard is not in Selangor but it’s close enough in our opinion. Check out Camperz Hideout In Bentong, Pahang if you like pitching your tent on gravel plots, and would like a river view!
