Wan Tsai South Campsite — Hotel in Hong Kong

I didn't sleep here (because it was full I walked on to Wan Tsai West, which I have also written a review about). But I will share some information which I hope will be useful.

The campsite is adjacent to the pier when you arrive. As the boat drops people off via its prow at the side of some steps, I would say it is definitely not accessible for people in wheelchairs. There is a pathway in as well which heads around the peninsula but I doubt it is entirely wheelchair accessible the entire way.

Wan Tsai South is considerably smaller than the West campsite: it's around 100 metres in length and the prime spots are around the perimeter, especially those facing the sea. I was here yesterday and today and the perimeter area was basically full. You could camp in the middle of the field of course, but then you'd be incinerated by the sun all day long as there is no shade there. Unfortunately some of the best spots appear to be taken by tents which have been permanently left there and which no one was occupying (see my photos for examples).

There are bathroom facilities and showers, just as there are at Wan Tsai West. There doesn't appear to be any way you can buy food here: you'll need to bring your own water or water filter, too. A small beach is located around 200 metres from the campsite. The water looked clear and clean to me though I did not have time to go and check it out in person.

If you are going to camp here, I would recommend arriving early but if you can't get a spot you like, you can always walk on to Wan Tsai West, which is a much larger field. The first ferry back to Wong Shek pier...

Probably the most convenient authorized camping site in Hong Kong. It is by the sea where oilet, showering, tap water available on site, lighted after dark.

Camp ground is grassy sandy. There is a shed so in situations you can have something above your head at least.

To get there, for those who don't want to walk you can take public bus 94 to Wong Shek Pier and then take a speedboat across. Otherwise take minibus to Hoi Ha and then walk for about 30 minutes, it is an easy walk.

On weekend it can be packed, weekday it is heaven. Stray cows are around but they are tame. There are some easy trails around you can explore, all well...

A very nice place for an outing or camping. There's a large public services facility here which has a number of wash basins, toilets, and changing rooms. There are accessible public toilets here as well. It is highly recommended to take own soap there, as it might not be available. The place is easily accessible via ferry from Wong Shek Pier. It can also be reached via a half an hour hike from Hoi Ha Village, but that route has patches of uneven terrain not suitable for trolleys. The Cellphone coverage here was not very good, so that has to be kept in mind...
