YunKai Campsite in Bentong, Pahang
Not too far from the laughter at theme parks and the bubbly noises of slot machines in Genting Highlands, lies a quiet campsite nestled above the chilly highland forests of Pahang. It’s YunKai Campsite, located inside a 26-acre vegetable farm called Vision Eco Farm, at an elevated altitude of 850m above sea level.
At the campsite, campers can bear witness to a sea of clouds during the daytime while also enjoying an intimate view of the stars at night.

Most Malaysians can’t tahan our hot and humid weather, which isn’t ideal for most outdoor activities. But the high altitude of YunKai Campsite, combined with the cool climates ranging between 16°C and 24°C in Genting Highlands, creates an ideal year-round camping spot for everyone.
Aside from the cool temperatures, the campsite boasts views of not only a sea of clouds but also verdant hills that surround it – perfect for those seeking a temporary getaway from the fast-paced attractions of the hilltop destination.
