This campsite had been on our wish list for a long time, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed at Zone F and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. On our very first morning, we were lucky enough to witness a breathtaking sunrise and a stunning sea of clouds from the summit. The evening scenery was equally magical, with beautiful pink and purple sunsets, mist drifting through the hills, and even a faint rainbow appearing in the sky. We also enjoyed spending time at the river and hiking to the waterfall. The trails were enjoyable, and the natural surroundings made the experience even more memorable. The campsite is well maintained, the facilities are clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a place to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy spectacular views, Zen Forest is highly recommended. We will definitely be back again!

I had an amazing stay at this glamping site! The tents were clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up, offering the perfect mix of nature and luxury. The surroundings were peaceful, making it a great place to relax and unwind. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The facilities were well maintained, and every detail was thoughtfully prepared to make the stay enjoyable. Waking up to the fresh air and scenic views was definitely the highlight of the trip. I highly recommend this glamping site to anyone looking for a unique and memorable getaway. I would definitely come back again!

I had a great glamping experience here. The environment is beautiful, relaxing, and perfect for a chilling getaway. The whole place was clean and well maintained, which made the stay even more comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and they also provided transportation to different activity spots, making it very convenient for guests to explore. Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful glamping retreat.✨ 👍🏻 My glamping zone was Zone Eden.👈🏻

Went for our first glamping experience and honestly, it was amazing 🤍 We stayed at Zone F — walking distance to Zone E and a little further from Zone G, but the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made it all worth it. We were able to catch the early morning sunrise 🌅 and also enjoyed spending time at the river. Transport was provided to go there, which made things easier and more convenient. One of the sweetest memories from this trip was meeting and spending time with the Orang Asli kids at the river — they were very friendly and welcoming 🥹 The stay was very calm and relaxing. Even throughout our 3 days 2 nights stay, there was always someone available 24/7 if we needed any help or assistance, which made us feel very comfortable and taken care of. One thing to note — shops are quite far from the glamping site, so it’s better to buy and prepare everything before coming. It’s more suitable for self-cooking as we didn’t notice any restaurant around Zen Forest. Also, the freezer in Zone F was a bit small, so hopefully there will be a bigger one in the future. During our stay, we were unfortunately not able to enjoy the waterfall as there was no water at that time. Hopefully during our next visit we’ll get to experience it fully 🤍 It would also be great if there’s a small stall or convenience shop inside Zen Forest in the future, especially for guests who may need extra items during their stay. Overall, this was such a memorable first glamping experience for us and we will definitely come back again soon ✨ And Abang that using this Hilux is very kind and helpful. Will definitely visit just for this abang kindness. 😁

we're still fairly new to camping, so we wanted to stay at a campsite with great views, surrounded by nature while still having good facilities 🤭. we stayed there for 3D2N. we absolutely loved the view. the bathrooms and sinks were clean, and they also provide freezer and power sockets. the staff were friendly and helpful as well. it's hot during noon so they recommend heading down to the riverside to cool off. be sure to bring insect repellent and sunscreen. since you're in nature, insects are to be expected so it's best to come prepared. we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! 😊🏕️🌿
