This Cambodia camping guide brings together all 24 provinces and the capital municipality of Phnom Penh. Choose a destination below, then distinguish a verified tented or guided overnight option from an outdoor day based at a town room. Several provinces have no independently verified public campsite in this research; their guides explain that limit rather than invent a pitch.

Current access and border conditions

The linked FCDO advice recommends avoiding non-essential travel within 20km of the Thai land border and reports suspended land crossings. It also identifies closures affecting the Preah Vihear border temple and other frontier temples. Check the live advice and your exact route before booking. Cambodia also has landmine and unexploded-ordnance risks: use established routes, avoid unknown metal objects and obtain local guidance for rural outings.

Choose a province or the capital

Choose the overnight experience first

For a furnished safari-tent package, investigate Cardamom Tented Camp in Koh Kong. For resort tents on the Kirirom plateau, investigate vKirirom in Kampong Speu. Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri have named guided programs with basic overnight arrangements. A homestay, bungalow, luxury tent and independent tent pitch are different products; compare what you actually need before choosing equipment.

A closure to know about

Terre Cambodge announced KULEN Basecamp’s closure in 2026. Its older camping tariffs remain visible online, so they are not used here as an operating offer. Always check the latest notice from the provider, not only an attractive accommodation page.

Free and paid camping

No blanket free-camping entitlement or province-wide motorhome infrastructure is established by these guides. Obtain permission for the exact site. Where a published price was verified, the district article explains the currency, occupancy or package basis and important exclusions. Elsewhere, request a dated quote rather than relying on old travel-directory prices.

Build a route with time to spare

A capital and heritage route, a southwest forest stay and a northeast expedition are separate trip styles. Choose one core region for a short visit. Reserve transfer days around long drives or boats, and leave time before fixed onward connections. For wet-weather plans, ask the provider what changes, what equipment is supplied and how cancellations are handled.
