Friendly camping site for all "Kirirom National Park"

Kirirom National Park is an old town, located in Kompong Speu province, which is about 100km away from Phnom Penh.

It was dearly cherished by the late King Norodom Sihanouk Ville in 1960s and even named the town as "the Mountain of Joy". It has over thirty five thousand hectares of land. The most attractive one over there is pine trees. Nowhere else in Cambodia has so many pine trees like that. The weather is always chilling. 

The town might have been abandoned during the civil war but the mountain itself has never been abandoned and is always visited by local people, especially since day tour from Phnom Penh can be done easily.

What can be expected there?

• A waterfall
• Pine trees
• Picnic area

It is best for the weekend away from home.
