About this experience

Campsites in Perhentian Besar are beachfront camping grounds on the main island of the Perhentian Islands, Malaysia. They offer basic tent pitches under coconut palms, with access to the island's coral reefs and jungle trails. Camping here suits budget travellers seeking a raw, close-to-nature stay away from chalet resorts.

What to expect

  • Tent pitches are located directly on sandy beaches, with the sea 10–20 metres from your sleeping bag.
  • Facilities typically include shared cold-water showers, squat toilets, and a small warung selling rice and noodles.
  • Snorkelling gear can be rented on-site for about RM15 per day to explore the fringing reef 5 metres offshore.
  • Campers must bring their own tent, sleeping mat, and mosquito net; no rental equipment is available on the island.
  • The campsites are accessible only by boat from Kuala Besut jetty, with a 45-minute transfer costing around RM35 per person one way.
  • This option suits experienced campers comfortable with sand, humidity, and minimal amenities; no electricity is provided after 10 pm.
