Dusun Comat KL — Janda Baik Vibes Without Leaving the City
The Vibe
Right, first thing first — Dusun Comat is not a campsite in the traditional sense. This is a leisure spot, a dusun retreat with a BBQ pit, pool, homestay, and cafe. No tent pitching here. If you drove all the way expecting to set up camp overnight under the stars, you'd be in for a surprise. Come for the lepak, the food, the greenery — not the camping.
That said, for a place that's technically in Kuala Lumpur — yes, Wilayah Persekutuan KL — it genuinely doesn't feel like it. Lush green everywhere, fruit trees around, cool air. Amanda put it perfectly when she said it feels like Janda Baik without having to leave KL. That's the selling point. City folk who need a quick reset but can't afford half a day driving out of the Klang Valley — this is your spot.
The crowd is mostly families and friend groups, the kind who want Instagram-worthy greenery, good food, and someone else to handle the hard part. And honestly, Encik Hairul and the team seem to have nailed the hospitality side of things — multiple reviews specifically called him out by name, which tells you a lot.
Getting There
The address is Lot 3404 & 3408, Jalan Palimbayan, Kampung Palimbayan, 60000 Kuala Lumpur. That postcode will surprise you — it genuinely reads as KL. Use Google Maps and search for Dusun Comat directly. The Kampung Palimbayan area can be a bit winding with smaller roads so don't rely purely on the postcode — use the pin.
Road condition seems fine for normal cars based on what reviewers have shared — no mention of rough tracks or 4WD requirements. Just watch the turns once you get deeper into the kampung roads. Parking should be available on-site.
What to Expect
Think of it as a dusun (orchard) that someone decided to turn into a beautiful lepak spot. Greenery on all sides, a pool to cool off in, BBQ pits for evening grilling, a Hillside Cafe for Western-ish bites, and a Malay food stall (Bakar) for your nasi and grilled stuff. Two food options at the same spot — that's a win.
The fruit situation is a bonus. Reviewers mentioned getting free durian and mangosteen from the dusun itself. That alone makes this worth a visit if you're a durian person — and let's be honest, most of us are.
This isn't a hardcore outdoor experience. No jungle trekking, no river crossing, no sweating it out under the sun with a 20kg pack. This is a place to sit down, breathe in the greenery, eat well, and decompress. Suits families with kids, couples who want a low-effort nature fix, and friend groups just looking for somewhere different to makan and lepak.
Facilities

There's a pool on-site — mentioned by reviewers as part of the santai experience. Good for kids and those who just want to cool off.

Food Options
Two spots — Hillside Cafe (Western/cafe vibes) and a Malay food station called Bakar. Multiple reviewers praised the food portions. Big servings, good quality. You won't go hungry.

What Campers Are Saying
Amanda came here expecting a nice lepak spot and left genuinely impressed — said the whole place is Instagram-worthy from every angle, loved the cafe food, and got to eat free durian and mangosteen straight from the dusun. Her words:
