Mountain View Camping

What to Expect at Mountain View

The View

The campsite’s pitch is simple: elevation. Tents face out over the patchwork of fields and sugar palms that make up lowland Kampong Chhnang, with sunrise as the scheduled entertainment and the Aural range silhouetted behind. Evenings bring campfires and the same dark skies that made this foothill belt a camping destination for Phnom Penh weekenders.

Keep Expectations Local

This is a locally-run campsite, not a resort: expect straightforward tent pitches and shelters, simple food by arrangement, and facilities to match. What it lacks in polish it returns in price, quiet and that view.

The Tuek Phos Circuit

Mountain View sits minutes from Merl Pkay Camping and within an easy drive of Tmor Kral, Anlung Svay and Bongkorng Roneab waterfalls — the pieces assemble naturally into an overnight countryside circuit.

How to Get to Mountain View

The campsite is in the Tuek Phos foothills, southwest of Kampong Chhnang town — roughly 2.5 hours’ drive from Phnom Penh.

• By car or moto: Navigate by the map link; the final track favours high clearance
• Check ahead: Facilities and availability are informal — confirm via local contacts or on arrival in the area, with Merl Pkay as backup

Practical Tips

• Bring your own supplies where possible — water, snacks, torch, power bank, warm layer for the small hours
• Weekends fill with local groups; weekdays are blissfully empty
• Combine a waterfall afternoon with a summit sunset for the full Tuek Phos day
