Campsite - Resort Taman Eko Rimba Komanwel — Hotel in Selayang Municipal Council

Stayed at the resort rooms with small kids - an attempt to introduce nature gradually to the young ones without compromising much of the urban comfort. It worked out just nice as the kids liked it & didn't mind a return visit in future. The whole nature park was not big but good enough for a short stay. The scenery was good, and there's a small river with a not-so-rapid stream, quite safe for kids to dip into with supervision. Water was clear with small fishes seen. Rooms were comfortable and clean with the basic amenities. The shower was a plus point for me with good water pressure & adequate heat. The toilets for the camping ground were well maintained and generally clean. We were provided with breakfast at the nearby cafe & I was pleasantly surprised by the selection & taste (probably because I wasn't expecting much to begin with, considering this is not a big-scale resort). Mostly traditional Malaysian breakfast with nasi lemak, mee goreng and various kuih, also the usual toasts and cereals + fruits, cakes. The staff were attentive & topped up the food when finishing.

Can't comment much on the camping ground but generally this looks like a good camping site for beginners. The various sites looked safe with basic amenities such as toilets provided nearby.

Overall, this resort is well maintained (this is important), landscaping is done nicely & facilities are adequate & good. Of course, you have to set your expectations right and don't compare it to a 4/5 star hotel; this is afterall a nature retreat and any urban comfort is already a luxury.

Well recommended especially for KL-Selangor dwellers for a short nearby staycation which is family friendly (kids &...

Overall a great camping experience at the Family campsite for first time campers. Top notch communal toilets and showers. However beware:

not many trees except for a few lots, so your site will get very hot after 10 in the morning. sites FC26 to FC28 were flooded even though it did not rain while we were there. the river at the Family Campsites are very small. Much better for kids swimming at the Event campsite.

What I disliked the most was the negative vibes you get from management. They are slow to respond and quite inflexible on requests to change sites. As soon as you enter you are barraged with strict warnings about fines (RM5K if you make a campfire, RM50 if you don't bring your trash to the communal trash bin, RMxx for every hour you're late to checkout etc). While it's fine to have these rules, it's really not welcoming to be the first thing communicated.

We did a recce of the Event campsite, and will definitely book here next time. It's much shadier and quieter, with a nice ramp for trolley access. River is definitely nicer. On the downside, there are only two toilets (one male one female) and open outdoor showers. This is fine by me (can shower using sarong) but some may not like this. Anyhow you can always drive or walk to the Family campsite toilet as an alternative.

One last warning - beware of monkeys! The monkeys raided our campsite while we were at the river. They rolled off a heavy water tank from our plastic boxes, unclasped the handles and helped themselves to our food! It was really messy with opened food packets everywhere! Advice to put something very heavy on your food boxes or place them in your car...

Very nice campsite. It's my 2nd visit and I actually anticipating some improvements could be done.

Pros: Clean river with lots of fishes, spacious ground for campsites, clean washrooms, friendly staff, overall experience was great! Will return for sure. Love the environments and landscape.

Cons: Monkeys are a little bit disturbing, stealing food and stuff of campers. The kayak, boat etc pond activities that previously were complimentary are now chargeable. Free drinking water station is not available anymore. No water heater on the campsite main washroom, toddlers and young kids may have hard time for taking bath.

Hope to see improvements:

1. some clean up/refurbishment at the highway entrance, which appear to be so run down. Understand that it's not belongs to the resort, but some initiatives or proposal to the local municipal would probably help.
2. more puppet tigers should be placed near to the family campsite to reduce the disturbance from monkeys.
3. water heater in the bathroom, at least 1 on male and 1 on female bathroom.
4. Clean water drinking station (filtered water) would ease up campers and more environment friendly compare to bringing in tonnes of plastic bottles.
5. Sensor lightings - would be great if more (but not many) solar sensor lightings could be place along the main walkway (near the bridges, staircase, tar road) towards the main washroom from campsites to avoid unnecessary accident especially...
