Updated October 2026
Gopeng Glamping Park is a family-friendly glamping site at Lot 10846, Jalan Besar Kg Chulek, 31600 Gopeng, Perak. It is about 20 to 25 minutes from Ipoh, roughly 2 to 2.5 hours from KL, and only about 10 minutes' drive (around 3 km) from Gua Tempurung. You sleep in ready-set-up canvas tents with proper beds and aircon, there's a pool and a river, a fire show at night, and a long menu of add-on activities: white water rafting, cave exploration, waterfall abseiling, ATV, paintball, archery and more.
Price-wise, weekday stays have been listed from around RM158 for a Double Tent (2 pax), RM238 for a Quad Tent (4 pax) and RM408 for a Deluxe 8 Tent, 2D1N with breakfast. Weekend rates are higher and priced per person. Rates change with season and promos, so treat these as a guide and confirm when you book. Google reviewers rate it 4.5/5 from 990+ reviews, which tells you most people leave happy.
The Vibe
Look, Gopeng Glamping Park isn't trying to be a rugged jungle campsite. And that's fine. This place is for people who want the outdoors feeling without sleeping on roots or waking up to ants in their bag. Think canvas tents with aircon, a buffet breakfast, and a fire show at night. That's the deal here.
The kampung atmosphere is real though. A lot of guests mention that village vibe, the kind that slows you down and makes you forget you have emails to reply to. It's peaceful. Not "no signal" peaceful (there's WiFi), but "actually want to sit outside and do nothing" peaceful. Families love it here. Corporate team building groups come here. Couples on a budget staycation, too. The park also describes itself as Malaysia's first ISO 21101 certified glamping site, which is a safety standard for adventure tourism, a nice sign if you're bringing kids on the activities.
What it is, is a well-organised glamping park with enough activities to keep the kids busy and enough quiet corners for the adults to lepak and breathe. If what you're really after is big waterfalls and boulder scrambling, pair your stay with a day trip, or check out my list of waterfalls near KL.
Getting There
Gopeng is about 20 to 25 minutes south of Ipoh, around 5 km off the North-South Expressway (E1). Take the Gopeng exit and head towards Jalan Besar, Kampung Chulek. The address is Lot 10846, Jalan Besar Kg Chulek, 31600 Gopeng, Perak. Plug it into Waze or Google Maps, the pin is pretty accurate.
Road in is fine. Normal car, no problem. Nothing rough here. Parking is free on site. If you're coming from KL, budget about 2 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic at Tapah. Gua Tempurung is about 10 minutes away and the Gopeng Museum around 6 km, so you can easily slot in a side trip.
Prices and Packages
Rates below were listed by a booking site and are a guide only. Glamping prices move with weekends, school holidays and promos, so always confirm the latest with the park before you transfer money.
| Tent | Max pax | Weekday (per tent, 2D1N) | Fri-Sat / Sun-Mon | Sat-Sun |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Tent | 2 | RM158 | RM178 per adult | RM208 per adult |
| Quad Tent | 4 | RM238 | RM158 adult / RM108 child | RM188 adult / RM138 child |
| Deluxe 8 Tent | 8 | RM408 | RM138 adult / RM88 child | RM168 adult / RM108 child |
Weekend packages are priced per head, so ask exactly what's bundled in (meals, activities) when you book. During Ramadan they have run special staycation packages with iftar and sahur buffet included, previously at around RM100 per person, which is quite the deal if it comes back.
Check-in is 3pm and check-out is 12pm (some listings say 2pm check-in, so confirm). Late check-out has been listed at RM50 per hour until 2pm, after which a full day is charged. Worth knowing if you're the type who likes a slow Sunday morning.
What to Expect
This is glamping, so adjust expectations accordingly. You're not pitching a tent. Tents come fully set up, from Doubles for couples up to Deluxe 8 tents for big families or groups. There's a pool, a river at the back you can swim in, and a bunch of paid activities. Gua Tempurung is right nearby too if you want a day trip out.
Crowd-wise, weekends and school holidays will be busier. The fire show usually starts around 9.30pm and everyone seems to enjoy it. Some sources say it runs nightly, others say weekends, and on holidays like New Year there have been fireworks too, so if the fire show is your main reason for coming, book a weekend and double check with the park. It's one of those unexpected highlights that turns a decent stay into a memorable one.
Best for: Families, first-time campers, team building groups, couples who want a low-effort outdoor trip. Seasoned campers who want to pitch their own tent in the wild might prefer something from my best campsites near KL list instead.
Gopeng Glamping Park Activities
Plenty of add-ons, senang cerita you won't be bored. Free stuff first: badminton, volleyball area, playground, trampoline, tree house, hammocks, wooden swing, pool and river swimming, plus board games from the counter. Paid activities have been listed at these rates (minimum group sizes apply, confirm before you go):
| Activity | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| White water rafting | RM155 per pax | Funtip (lighter) rafting around RM75 per pax |
| Waterfall abseiling | RM90 per pax | Min 10 pax, about 3 hours |

ATV rides, archery, bicycle rental and Gua Tempurung tours are also available, ask at the counter for the day's rates. Abseiling has a minimum of 10, so solo travellers or small families may need to join another group. If you'd like more trails to try after your stay, my easy hikes near KL guide has a few good warm-ups.
Facilities
Tents
Tents come with proper beds (larger tents have two queen beds), aircon that runs 24/7, stand fans and lights, mirror, towels, pillows, blankets, hangers, an extension wire and a stargazer lamp. Most guests report tents and bedding in good order. A quick check-in walk-through with staff ensures everything is fresh before you settle in.
Toilets & Showers
Separated by gender, well-lit, and clean by most accounts. Each cubicle comes with water heater, toilet paper, body wash, hand wash, and, yes, a hair dryer. Even got an ironing station in there (no ironing in tents). Pretty solid for a glamping park.
Water
Water dispensers are spread around the site so you don't have to walk far, and they're reliable and well-maintained.
Food
Breakfast buffet is included in most packages and gets good reviews: decent variety, well-presented, tastes good. Some room-only rates charge breakfast separately, so check your booking. There's an on-site restaurant with buffet and BBQ options, and one source lists a Malaysian home-cooked dinner buffet with live BBQ and a live band. There's also a burger stall and pizza shop nearby, plus local food vendors just outside the park if you want to explore. Cooking inside the park is generally not allowed (instant noodles are the exception), so plan to eat at the restaurant or nearby.
Common Areas
Benches outside the tents for chilling. Separate surau for men and women. Free WiFi. Good outdoor lighting at night so the walk to the toilet isn't sketchy. Indoor games like Monopoly, Uno, Jenga, and Congkak available at the counter, free to borrow. There's also a fire pit, picnic area and garden for the slow hours.

What Campers Are Saying
A family who stayed for 3D2N over New Year said the fire show and fireworks were the highlight. They came in just expecting a quiet stay and left pleasantly surprised. The Quad Tent worked well for 4 people, and everything ran smoothly from check-in onwards.
A group that came for company team building said it was proper fun: lots of activities, solid safety SOPs, attentive staff, and they didn't need to leave the resort even once. Everything was in-house and well-organised.
A solo reviewer on a Ramadan staycation package said the RM100/person deal with buffet iftar, sahur, and one night stay was great value. Good atmosphere, good food. Simple as that.
The common thread across almost every review: the toilets are surprisingly good (people are genuinely impressed), the staff are helpful, and the fire show always gets a mention. The village feel also comes up a lot, one guest said it brought her back to childhood kampung memories. That one hit different.
TAHAN Tip
If you're planning to join the fire show, and you should, stake out your spot near the main open area before 9pm. It fills up, especially on weekends. Also, do a quick look around your tent right at check-in while staff are still nearby. If anything needs a top-up (extra towel, pillow, whatever), mention it early and they'll usually sort it out fast. And if you're booking activities like abseiling or rafting, reserve them when you book your tent, because minimum group sizes are easier to fill in advance.
