1. The road to get here is ZIG ZAG, lots of potholes here and there, going uphill and downhill. - prepare panadols and plastic bag in case of car sickness - check your brake - don't speed up because sometimes car from opposite way had to come into your lane to avoid potholes 2. Imagine this place as consisting of 3 floors: a) GROUND FLOOR - you see a house with parking space and a "pondok" for check-in. You have to park first and register. You can add-on things like canopy, tables etc here. b) BASEMENT 1 - chalet/villa. you can bring car here c) BASEMENT 2 - camping ground. you can bring car here. you can add on canopy/tables etc here too. 3. Facilities like shower rooms and toilets can be improved. - All the locks are barely working and not proper locks - all use "gayung" - no hooks inside for toilets a) toilets: located at the end, quite far and secluded. And upsetting because NO LIGHTS. even during the day, it was super dark in the toilets. and no clothes hooks inside. i was scared my phone gonna drop in the hole (i had to turn on flash light) b) 8 shower rooms in total, at 2 locations. One at the center, and one more even further than toilets. Shower room at center got lights. c) surau: small but enough. Got sejadah inside. Take wudhuk at shower rooms or toilets 4. Recommended to bring water bottle because no coway, cuckoo whatsoever. The tap is air sungai, taste weird. 5. The main camping ground is well illuminated. 6. The river flow is quite strong because lots of rocks. Perfect for water tubing. Mostly people just play around at the riverbed. 7. Mt. Kinabalu is on the left side. To get a nice view, you actually need to go to the river (better yet, in the middle of the river) 8. It has ponds with fish, mini bridges, swing. pretty nice for kids I chose Polumpung because it has website where i can just book and add-on all the items like tent, canopy etc, without the need to whatsapp for reservation. But , if given a chance next time, I would consider Nohutu because it has a more direct view of mt. kinabalu and seems like a gentle stream of river

The hospitality and the local were truly committed to give us the best experience through our journey! Yeah, no one's perfect, right? I would love to recommend this campsite for anyone who love nature and heal their self. If you don't comfortable or familiar with "camping", there's many homestay nearby that are affordable and comfortable to stay in for a night either the whole week 😊 . Let me share about Melangkap (where the campsite located). The village are located nearby Mount Kinabalu (from my perspective might be 10km away from the mountains). There's many activity that you can do nearby (football, enjoy the view, camping, heal, or just have a small talk with the locals as they are very friendly 🥰). There's cafe too that serve Muslim's friendly food. It's 45 minutes away from the nearest Town (Kota Belud), so be prepared. I'm the local native but staying in Johor. Every years I would travel back to my village, so it's okay to ask me anything and everything about the village (of course I would ask them more details before answering). All of the local are related to me, and they are very nice. Sorry for my broken English, but no one's perfect. But the best part to do is trying 🥰. P/S : Please respect the nature and the local as we want to preserve the beauty of nature. Keep the areas clean and don't ever throw anything whether it's from your bodies or waste into the river. Use the hospitality given. The local native need the river in order to survive.

Here is my honest review on this place - I went to this place on the 7th May 2022 for the 1st time. The place is situated around 80km from Kota Kinabalu en route to Kota Belud via Ranau-Kota Belud bypass road. The good thing about this place it is quite scenic with Mount Kinabalu at the background, the water is cool and clear (unless it rains), vehicle can get all the way down by the river, camping is allowed, rental huts are available... Now on the things i dont like - the river is rocky (too rocky)- painful to the feet, also the river is very2 shallow - knee deep only so forget about swimming there, parts of the river runs very fast - a danger to children being swept away by the strong current, the river bank is quite steep and rocky - quite difficult and dangerous to climb down to river, weekends is crowded with people... (see the pics) ***also - if people from Melangkap is reading this, please repair the Jambatan Gantung, it is in terrible shape. That bridge is a tourist attraction but too bad it is in disrepair.... If you also dont like the things I've mentioned, there are other Eco Tourism sites around Kota Belud that you can try - such as those by the Wariu River - namely Tagal Tegudon, Tagal Talungan and Tagal Terintidon. I've been to all three, the river there is also crystal clear, scenic and is deep enough for swimming. I prefer Tagal Talungan of all the three. Google them to know more.

Seriously awesome place for a camping trip 😍 less than 2 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu, we reached there slightly earlier from the check in time of 2pm,checked in and set up out tent. The camp site is located next to a river, and campers need not worry about high tide as the camp ground is quite high compared to the river level. (refer to picture) Facility wise, there is shower area, sink for washing dishes with soap for cleaning utensils, and a roofed area in case it rains really heavily. They have a BBQ area and pit, and convenice store with basic items and food for cooking and snacks. If you do want to get more stuff, you will need to drive off a bit (about half an hour) to Activities you can do there are relaxing by the river with pelampung (rent per hour), BBQ food, and also tribal activities if any are interested. There is a flying fox nearby the camping site (few minutes drive) Price wise, it is really affordable (rm6 per person Malaysian for camping overnight or rm3 for day trip) and they do rent out other stuff too (such as tent, canopy, BBQ, chair, table, portable stove). Room are also available at rm60 as of 11/03/19 As for booking, you do have to contact them beforehand and make a deposit of 50% of your total fees (entrance + rented tools) to secure your booking there. Hands down a great experience there, recommended place to relax and enjoy nature by the riverside :)

There is no denying that the views of the mountains are beyond the marvelous tents. The roaring waterfront adjacent to the tent area provides a cozy atmosphere, let alone soak into the cool and very clean river water. Convenient amenities. The pillowballs and so on are priced at a reasonable rate. We stayed overnight at this place. Upon arrival there must check in before 1400hrs and pick up equipment that has been rented. But what's a little disappointing is that when we were in the limelight, the quota was a 4-day and weekend holiday, only 1 person was responsible for distributing the rented goods. This caused many people, Including I was forced to waste time waiting for an employee to manage the item. For my information I had to wait almost an hour before being missed by the workers there. Extremely disappointing and very wasted time. Should the parties be aware of the peak season. Toilets and baths are provided, but quite inadequate when many people are forced to line up to use. What is more annoying is when there are visitors who use the toilet to wash clothes for hours, while many people are waiting to use the toilet to dispose of water. It's rude and selfish. But the more disappointing for me is the hope of seeing the stars and the night sky without any light pollution. Lights are not switched off until morning 🤷 ️ 😒 😒 😒 😒 😒.. But the mountain's view over the morning was amazing, so I forgot all the hardships and tiredness I experienced Overall, I recommend that visitors spend more than 1 day in order to experience the experience of camping more fun. I am satisfied and will be back 👍 Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa permandangan dgunung kinabalu daripada kawasan khemah sememangny menakjubkan. Aliran air yang menderu bersebelahan dengan kawasan khemah memberikan suasana yang menyamankan, apatah lagi dapat berendam kedalam air sungai yang sejuk dan sangat bersih. Kemudahan yg disediakan memuaskan. Kemah bantal tempat memanggang dan sebagainya disewakan dengan kadar yang berpatutan. Kami menginap selama semalam di tempat ini. Setibanya disana, harus check-in dahulu padanjam 1400hrs dan mengambil peralatan peralatan yang telah disewa. Namun apa yang agak mengecewakan ialah apabila sewaktu kami datamg, kwbetulan adalah waktu cuti umum 4 hari dan hujung minggu, hanya 1 orang sahaja yang berkerja bertanggungjawab untuk mengagih-agihkan barang barang yang disewa. Ini menyebabkan ramai orang, Termasuk saya terpaksa membuang masa menunggu seorang pekerja untuk menguruskan barang barang tersebut. Untuk makluman saya yerpaksa menunggu hampir sejam sebelum Dilayan oleh pekerja disitu. Amat mengecewakan dan sangat membuang masa. Sepatutnya pihak berkenaan sudah arif tentang waktu peak season. Tandas dan tempat mandi disediakan, namun agak tidak mencukupi apabila ramai orang terpaksa berbaris panjang untuk menggunakan. Apa yang lebih menyakitkan hati adalah apabila ada pengunjung yang menggunakan tandas untuk membasuh baju selama berjam jam, sedangkan ramai yang berbaria menunggu untuk menggunakan tandas untuk membuang air. Sungguh biadap dan mementingkan diri sendiri. Namun yang lebih mengecewakan bagi saya adalah harapan agar dapat melihat bintang dan langit malam tanpa ada pencemaran cahaya. Lampu tidak dimatikan sehingga pagi 🤷♂️😒😒 Namun permandangan gunung kinabalu di waktu pagi amat menakjubkan , sehingga saya terlupa segala kesusahan dan kepenatan yang dialami 😁 Keseluruhannya, saya cadangkan agar pengunjung bermalam lebih dari 1 hari agar dapat merasai pengalaman berkhemah dengan lebih seronok. Saya berpuas hati dan semestinya akan kembali 👍

About 2 hours drive from KK if there’s no jam/ roadworks. Best to leave at 5am so that u reach early morning around 7am.. Some areas might be misty and as reaching the place, few dogs and cattle would chill out on road. So be careful. This place is like a little paradise for me.. the river overlooks the Majestic Kinabalu mountain and looks surreal.. by 10plus am the mountain would shy away and cover itself with thick clouds.. so better be there really early.. by this time also, it would feel really hot and the sun seems unforgiving.. 😅 This place is run by few families and kept really clean. Basic amenities- Brick table for bbq, washroom and toilet, tiny sundry shop, float and swimming equipment shop, food stall seen at location.. u can rent tents and chairs to rest. U may also rent chalets/house. Fish pond with small suspension bridge- u can feed fish. Just pay Rm6 for the fish food… There’s ample of parking spaces.. I didn’t stay over but other guests complained of mosquitoes at night, so bring ur nets/repellents.. i love this place and certainly coming back again… and again..
