Logok Campsite, Johor — A Beachside Gem with One Very Annoying Catch

The Vibe

Logok Campsite is a beachside campsite along the Johor coastline, tucked behind a palm oil plantation. Yes, you read that right — you drive through oil palms and then suddenly, the sea opens up in front of you. It's one of those spots that feels low-key special once you're there. Clean beach, clear-ish water, hermit crabs everywhere doing their thing. Not the kind of place that tries too hard.

The crowd here is mostly families and weekend warriors from around Johor. It's not a party site — more of a chill, angin laut, duduk-diam-diam kind of place. The grass campsite means you're not fighting with sand in your sleeping bag, which is already a win in my books. Just don't expect a lot of natural shade — the tree cover is pretty minimal, so you'll want to come prepared for that.

Fees are RM10 per person — very affordable. One handy tip: ask staff about the gate closing time when you arrive so you can plan your evening accordingly.

Getting There

The address is along Jalan Felda Tenggaroh Selatan, 81900, Johor. Here's the thing — Google Maps will drop you somewhere in the middle of the road. Keep driving past where Maps tells you to stop and look for the signboards at the entrance.

The road leading in is a bit bumpy, so drive slow and take your time. You don't need a 4WD, but a low-clearance city car will need careful driving. If you're heading on a weekend, leave earlier to settle in before dusk.

What to Expect

This is a sprawling campsite — lots of space to spread out and pick your spot. You can pitch your own tent on grass or rent a pre-built shelter. The grass pitching is actually a highlight for people who hate sand camping (guilty). Open sky views, sea breeze, and a clean beach right in front of you. Not bad for RM10 a head.

Shade is the main thing to plan around. There aren't many trees, so midday can get brutal. Bring an extra flysheet or a tarp to rig up your own shade shelter — this isn't optional, it's necessary. Early mornings and evenings are when this place really shines. The beach is clean, the sea is calm, and there are hermit crabs everywhere if you've got kids tagging along.

This spot suits families and casual campers best. It's not a hardcore jungle experience — it's a relaxed coastal weekend. Beginners can handle this one easily. Just know about the gate closing time and plan accordingly.

Facilities

Toilets

Five toilet blocks spread across the site, which is actually pretty good coverage. Downside: some doors don't close properly and a few have no hangers. Usable, but bring your own hook if you're particular about that.

Showers

Showers are available but cold water only. No heater. For a beach campsite in Johor, it's fine — the weather's warm enough. But know going in.

Surau

There's a surau on site and reviewers say it's clean. Could use a fan for comfort, but it's a solid facility to have at a campsite like this.

Shelters for Rent

Pre-built shelters available if you don't want to pitch. Good fallback option if you're coming without a full setup.

Staff

Multiple reviewers mentioned the staff are genuinely helpful and friendly. That counts for a lot.

What Campers Are Saying

Suhaimi, who's camped along this whole stretch of east coast Johor, says Logok is his favourite of the lot. His main piece of advice: pitch on the grass (not that there's much choice here), and bring your own flysheet because tree shade is almost non-existent. Coming from someone who's done the whole coastline, that says something.

Alicia gave it five stars but flagged the Google Maps issue straight away — the pin drops you in the middle of the road. She found the beach clean, the water clear, and the hermit crabs entertaining. No heater in the showers, but she wasn't bothered. Well-maintained overall, she said.

John, who gave it four stars, praised the space and the toilet spread — five locations across the site is generous. He called the staff a big plus, and I'd agree. Friendly staff can save a mediocre campsite. Only gripe was the dodgy toilet doors and missing hangers.

Fiza said it was a proper getaway — the kind of place you bring family or close friends when you need to disconnect. Workers were helpful, surau was clean. Her only suggestion: add a fan to the surau. Small thing.

TAHAN Tip

Ask the staff about the gate closing time the moment you arrive — before you set up, before anything. Get it confirmed. Then set a reminder on your phone. That one thing could save your whole trip from turning into a nightmare. Don't assume it's the same as other campsites you've been to.
