We had such a great experience at this campsite camping back in June last year, that we came back for a second stay for 3D2N at Fairview, and it did not disappoint. The cleanliness here is truly top-notch — especially the toilets (plus points for hot water!) and overall campsite, which we’d easily rate 10/10. It makes a huge difference when camping and really adds to the comfort of the whole experience. The ground staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth and professionally handled remotely by the administrators, which made everything very convenient. One feature we really appreciated was the availability of a freezer to store food, so we didn’t have to rely solely on our cooler box — such a thoughtful touch for campers. The views at Fairview were absolutely breathtaking, with vast greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. We also loved spending time at the river, where we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves (it was on a Sunday afternoon) — such a peaceful and refreshing experience. Overall, another wonderful stay, and we’ll definitely be back again!

Usually I camp alone, but I happened to discover Zen Forest at the MATTA Fair and instantly fell in love with their glamping service. The comfy bed and well-prepared equipment made me feel safe and welcomed, and it easily has the nicest and cleanest toilet I've ever experienced while camping. A huge shout-out to Mr Vaan and his team along with the customer service for being super helpful. Thank you for an excellent experience. (Pics taken when we check out, hope everyone treating this camp site as good as we do)

I had planned and made reservations weeks before. Unfortunately, I was hospitalised a week before and I was contemplating whether to proceed with the trip since the nearest hospital is 50 mins drive away. I am grateful that Zen Forest’s team were helpful and considerate given our situation, offering to defer my booking to another date without payment being forfeited. In the end, as I was feeling better, my family and I decided to proceed with the trip. Communicating with the team was easy as they are friendly and responsive. They also offered to move us to another camp site before arrival as the site we originally booked (Zone A) had fruits falling from the trees & wasn’t suitable. We spent our first day/night at Zone B by the riverside. It is comfortable and the facilities are well maintained. I would however suggest that the stone(?) table tops and their stands be glued/sealed together for safety reasons. They are easily moved and when the top is not centered properly, it will topple and may cause injuries (if the stone top fall on toes/little children or pets, it can be quite bad because of its weight). We spent our 2nd day & night in Zone E at the summit. The view is beautiful and it is breezy. However, it gets quite hot during the day so best to head down to the riverside. Again, the facilities eg toilets etc provided are well maintained. We were lucky as we got both zones to ourselves during our stay. It gave us the much needed space and quiet retreat we were hoping for :) This place is also pet friendly, and our giant poodle had so much fun! If I may suggest, perhaps consider changing the plates/glassware etc to stainless steel. This may be more suitable. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves very much and glad we made the trip!

Our camping experience at Zen Forest was absolutely amazing! My family had a wonderful time and we made unforgettable memories together. The cleanliness of the campsite gave us great peace of mind. Both the public areas and bathroom facilities were kept spotless, showing great attention to detail. We were especially moved by the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Every team member was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. They always greeted us with friendly smiles and went above and beyond to help, making us feel right at home.We are already looking forward to planning our next trip and believe we will see Zen Forest again very soon. It's a promise—we will definitely be back!☺️🙏🏻
