Nam Shan Campsite — Hotel in Hong Kong

Easy to access campsite. There is a bus stop above and below the campsite. Most of the harbour buses stop there and they have undercarriage space for your camp stuff, just ask them to open it up.

The campsite as many sites but come early to get a good stop. There is fresh drinking water so bring a refillable bag. There are a few flat platforms that you can camp on but these are beside a stream. If you have a bug zapper then you don't have to fear mosquitos.

There are bbq pits and benches around the campsite but some of the bbq pits have broken over time or they have to grill to hold the charcoal.

The campsite is cleaned atleast once a day. They bathrooms have both a squat and a western toilet. There are also basins to wash dishes outside the bathrooms.

Some of the campsites have good shade while others are in direct sunlight. The afternoon sun can be very hot depending on where your camp is set up. Best to bring a tarp.

At the harbour there is a welcome, MDs and a park n shop. You can bring your tent and sleeping bag only and get things in at the harbour front. There is a also a slightly hidden vegetable store that sell their fresh produce at responsible prices.

The campsite can get loud at night especially with big groups. An alternative is Pui Oh campsite down the hill, where you can camp on the beach. This campsite has stricter rules...

The site was clean and well-kept when I visited. Just a heads-up: water buffalo do roam the area. A few wandered near my tent at night, but they’re chill and generally harmless. Adds a wild touch to...

Clean (toilets are serviced 3x a day) and free. Plenty of twigs and firewood to collect for fire. But please dont if you dont need it. It seems, few permanent campers occupy some sites, but they are friendly, quiet and doesnt make a mess at all. Local campers are rather noisy (excitedly) and has little light discipline in the evening. Expect bbq to go on past midnite with...
