This Koh Kong camping guide helps you plan outdoor time, an appropriate overnight base and cultural visits. Koh Kong has a concrete organized camping option at Cardamom Tented Camp. Its forest location and boat transfer make this a planned multi-night stage, not a place to arrive late hoping to find an empty pitch.

Current border advice

FCDO advises against non-essential travel within 20km of Thailand’s land border. Check its linked advice before planning.

Nature and outdoor plans

The camp’s Botum Sakor program combines forest walks and the Preak Tachan River. Tatai and the mangroves are other provincial nature interests, but they are separate excursions. Let your booked operator confirm the actual route and river conditions.

Camping and overnight choices

Cardamom Tented Camp offers furnished safari tents as part of organized stays. The Trekker package uses Trapeang Rung Resort Pier, with its published boat departure at 14:00 and return at 10:00. Confirm the connection before booking road transport.

Free camping and access

No specific authorized zero-fee campsite was verified for this itinerary. A public view, picnic shelter, temple courtyard or quiet riverbank is not an overnight permit. Ask the responsible land manager about access and any charge. Do not dig, clear vegetation or light a fire to create a pitch.

Published package price

The camp lists its three-day/two-night Trekker standard safari package at US$393 per person for May–October 2026, or US$445 for November 2026–April 2027, based on sharing. Rates exclude 10% VAT. Its listed single-traveler standard prices are US$478 and US$525 respectively. Confirm availability and your final dated total. These are package prices, not nightly pitch fees.

Food and meal planning

Cardamom Tented Camp identifies its Riverbank Restaurant, and the Trekker package lists five meals. Confirm dietary needs at booking. Bring personal snacks only as agreed with the camp’s storage and waste arrangements.

Culture and heritage

Learn about the conservation work explained by the camp and its guides. Keep wildlife expectations realistic and allow quiet observation. A reserve visit should follow the managed itinerary rather than turn into a search for animals away from approved trails.

Build a practical day

Allow an arrival stage for settling in and checking the next day’s route. Choose one main outdoor outing, then add a nearby cultural visit only if the journey and opening times work. Ask your host for the actual distance from the booked overnight location; a provincial attraction is not necessarily close to your room.

Equipment and conditions

Carry rain protection, a headlamp, insect protection, sun protection and water for the agreed route. Protect electronics and spare clothes from rain. Ask your provider which equipment and bedding it supplies before packing. Stay on established visitor routes, follow closure notices and arrange your return journey before departure.
