3D2N Camping at Sungai Bantang, Bekok, Labis, Johor | Cool, Peaceful & Fun!

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone!
In this video, I’ll be sharing our experience camping for 3 days and 2 nights at Taman Eko Rimba Sungai Bantang, located in Bekok, Labis, Johor — a peaceful, refreshing, and affordable camping destination, perfect for family getaways.

📍 Location & Access

Sungai Bantang Eco Forest Park is about a 15–20 minute drive from Bekok town. The access road is slightly hilly and rocky but still manageable by regular cars. Just search for “Taman Eko Rimba Sungai Bantang” on Google Maps to get there.

This place is perfect for camping, jungle trekking, river bathing, and family bonding. Surrounded by lush forest, the air is super fresh and cool—definitely a nature lover’s paradise.

🏕️ Camping Setup & Layout

We came with three other families, and thankfully, we got the spot we wanted—right next to the river. It’s a popular area because:
• Easy river access
• Spacious ground for multiple tents
• Scenic, peaceful view

As usual, we took the back trail through a steep slope (juram), a shortcut to our preferred site. We still used our trusted Pump Tent 13.2, which was easy to set up—especially with the help of my son-in-law Azam, who was joining our camping trip for the first time. He felt a bit awkward at first but slowly got into it.

Hamna & Bambang chose their tent spot behind ours, while Aswad & Lin pitched theirs next to mine—facing the river directly. A perfect view to wake up to.

🍽️ Meals & Activities

Once the tents were set up, it was time for lunch. I brought along homemade lamb stew and bread, and as expected, everyone was starving and excited to dig in! Meanwhile, Hamna was frying up crispy cempedak—the smell was amazing.

Later that afternoon, we all headed straight into the river. The water at Sungai Bantang is cold, crystal-clear, and fast-flowing. Bathing in the river was incredibly refreshing and calming.

🌃 First Night

That night, we kept things simple. We played a table game called “Tombola”, relaxed by the campfire, and enjoyed each other’s company under the stars. A truly meaningful and relaxing evening.

🌄 Day 2

The second day greeted us with cool and fresh air. As usual, I prepared my own breakfast—simple toasted bread and hot drinks.

After breakfast, we went for a 1km hike to a more secluded waterfall. The trail was a bit slippery due to the rain, but safe and definitely worth the effort. That hidden waterfall was a gem—small but perfect for swimming and chilling out.

🌧️ Rainfall Moment

In the afternoon, it started to rain unexpectedly. But instead of being a hassle, it brought a peaceful and calming vibe. Imagine sitting in your tent, listening to raindrops on the leaves and the river flowing beside you—it’s something you can’t experience in the city.

🧾 Facilities & Tips
• There’s a small surau, toilet, and basic shower rooms.
• Water is sourced from the river, so it’s best to bring your own drinking water.
• Phone reception is weak—great for a digital detox.
• Bring power banks, LED lights, and ground sheets in case of damp soil.

✅ Overall Experience

Camping at Sungai Bantang was an amazing experience. The clean air, cool river, and quality time with family made the trip unforgettable. Honestly, 3 days and 2 nights didn’t feel like enough—we’re already thinking of coming back!
