Just last weekend, we stayed at Camp B with no high expectation but oh my, Zen Forest really lives up to its name. Welcomed by a peaceful stream, breathing in the fresh air, and then tranquility of the forest wash over you, sounds magical, right? It was the perfect way to clear my mind and very relaxing. The tent was set up nicely along the river, sleeping with natural river sound was priceless. Near to restroom, complete with chiller, clean area+hammock. The staff at Zen are super friendly, Mr Hairi invited us for truck drive to summit/spend time for chitchat and to waterfall where we enjoy dipping in cool waterfall. The view is marvellous. The staff also walked us through their farm where we had coconut drinks, pick pineapple papayas and other fruits. There’s also fish feeding on bamboo raft that we did enjoy. We spent the whole night talking over campfire. Camp B at Zen Forest in Bentong was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and pure nature. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a first-timer, this place will not disappoint. We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the forest. Can't wait to return!

Quiet environment with nice view. Good place for stargazing, sea of cloud & sunrise spot (depends on weather & your luck). Facilities are surprising me, they provide water heater, water filter & hammock. Chill place to relax yourselves during weekend/holidays and close to the nature.

Love the place ❤️ it’s a chill place with river, waterfall, sea of cloud and more. If I could come here again next time I would want to stay near riverside as it’s more shaded instead of the summit. Also, I would recommend to stay more than a night to fully experience the campsite 💯

The Best Glamping Stay Ever! Communication from start to end was very clear that leads to an amazing stay. The tent was incredibly nice and can accommodate up to 4 heads. The best thing is cooking utensils are well prepared, which allows us to do the favorite meals easily. Not to mention our breakfast was delivered early in the morning before we awoke. Sea of clouds? This is the perfect place! Woke at 6:30AM and enjoyed the sea of clouds while sipping our coffee together with our fur baby Chollo. 🐶 Zen forest is also a perfect place for those who want to spend their night in the riverside, trekking and some other activities. For sure, we'll be back. To the staff, THANK YOU a lot. We had some rice shortage but they didn't hesitate to find ways, and they even gave it for free. 🥰🥰🥰 You're 11/10 Zen Forest. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Me and my friends had a 3D2N camp experience. We truly enjoyed the sea of clouds and river dipping—it was an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, we weren’t lucky enough to catch the sunrise. 🥹 We visited the waterfall on our first day, but due to the continuous hot weather, the water flow was quite low. However, after the thunderstorm on our first night, we could hear the soothing sound of the waterfall from our campsite. I was lucky enough to spot some gibbons grabbing their breakfast at Campsite D—a perfect way to end the trip! One small piece of feedback regarding the shelters—it would be great if they were positioned to face the scenic view rather than our tents. 😊
