We camped here for 3D2N. Even though it's far from KL, we were excited for the river and didn't mind driving for 4 hours just to enjoy nature. The river is one of a kind because the riverbank is very unique. It's called the KROH Transformationβfeel free to Google more about it. Even the campsite itself gives off serene vibes. - It's a dusun campsite, surrounded by fruit orchards. The CO lives nearby, so itβs really easy to ask for anything or get assistance. - Here, they also serve free coffee! A great kampung coffee to enjoy on a cold night. - The sites have plug points, and we booked two sites located side by side. We even had a fire pit just for ourselves. - Our site is near the entrance, which is convenient since it's close to the toilet and sink, and just a short walk from the car park. The downside is that it's far from the river, so thereβs no river view. - It's a bit challenging to access the river, as the bank is quite high. You need to be careful when going down. - We really enjoyed swimming in the river, which has both deep and shallow parts. Some areas are great for water rafting. The road leading here is a light off-road, and even though there are no signboards, it's easy to find. - I love the surrounding area with big durian trees, and at night, itβs even better with yellow lights. Very peaceful. - Parking space is limited but can accommodate less than 15 cars at one time. - Electricity is provided 24 hours. - And what I love too the furry creatures (cats!) that belong to the owner. There are about 3-4 of them, and theyβre all very friendly, playing around the site. There are also wild chickens that look tame but are definitely not! Overall, we had a great time. Even with the long journey, it was really worth it to come here

About Santai Dusun Campsite
πΏ Welcome to Santai Dusun Campsite πΏ Hidden within a village orchard near the small town of Pengkalan Hulu, Perak, Santai Dusun Campsite is a peaceful semi-wild nature retreat built around the simple beauty of dusun life, riverside surroundings, and authentic kampung hospitality. Located approximately 5km from Pengkalan Hulu town, Santai Dusun offers a slower and more meaningful outdoor experience β a place to pause, breathe, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the calm atmosphere of orchard greenery, forest ambience, and flowing river sounds. One of the main attractions here is our natural riverside area, known for its beautiful ancient rock formations, and relaxing natural surroundings. During the day, guests can enjoy the peaceful river atmosphere, while at night, the sounds of nature, flowing water, and orchard ambience create a truly unique camping experience. Santai Dusun is designed to preserve the original character of the land while still providing essential facilities for a comfortable stay. The campsite currently features 18 camping lots, 2 camping decks, and a dedicated RTT zone, along with basic amenities including toilets, bathrooms, sinks, prayer space, electricity, and campfire areas. More than just a campsite, Santai Dusun is a place filled with personal memories for our family. We grew up in this very orchard, and today we continue to manage the campsite ourselves while sharing the peaceful kampung lifestyle and warmth of village hospitality with every guest who visits. Santai Dusun is not a luxury resort or commercial tourism space β it is a nature campsite experience. Mud, insects, river sounds, falling leaves, cool night air, and the beauty of the natural environment are all part of the experience here. Whether you are looking for a quiet riverside escape, quality time with family and friends, or simply a place to slow down and reconnect with nature, we warmly welcome you to experience the peaceful charm of Santai Dusun Campsite. We hope Santai Dusun becomes a place where beautiful memories are created, stories are shared, and meaningful moments with nature are truly felt. See you in Santai Dusun Campsite.

Fire Pit is my favourite Interest. Made a good choice by Camping at the Dark Zone. Will keep repeating insyaallah. Good Job and Thank you for the best hospitality givenπ

This is the most peaceful and chill campsite that I have been. Set amongst rubber and tropical fruit trees hence it is shady and cool. The campsite itself is not large but offers a lot of privacy for campers. It is a semi-wild campsite, offering basic amenities such as clean bathrooms/toilets and lights/electricity in the main area. Great if you want to disconnect from day-to-day life and reset in nature. The river is also very unique.
