Cardamom Tented Camp in Cambodia adds three premium river view tents

Car­damom Ten­ted Camp’s new accom­mod­a­tions offer serene river views and an intim­ate wild­life exper­i­ence in Cambodia’s largest nation­al park, where “your stay keeps the forest standing”.

‘Unparalleled connection to nature’

Car­damom Ten­ted Camp, set with­in the pristine wil­der­ness of Cambodia’s Botum Sakor Nation­al Park, has enhanced its eco-con­scious accom­mod­a­tion offer­ing with the addi­tion of three premi­um river view tents.

The three new tents, now avail­able, fea­ture lar­ger bal­conies, offer­ing guests river­side views and a unique oppor­tun­ity to exper­i­ence nature up close.

One of the new tents is set 70 metres apart from the oth­ers at the end of a 220-metre walk­way, provid­ing an exclus­ive retreat per­fect for couples seek­ing extra privacy. 

Each tent is perched on an elev­ated frame, fea­tur­ing amen­it­ies such as fan-cooled double or twin beds, hot water bath­rooms, and spa­cious bal­conies designed for relax­a­tion, bird­watch­ing, and wild­life spotting.

“The new river­front tents offer an unpar­alleled con­nec­tion to nature,” Lodge Man­ager Allan Michaud said. 

“The serene set­ting, coupled with oppor­tun­it­ies for bird and wild­life spot­ting right from your bal­cony, will make these tents a pop­u­lar option among guests look­ing for tran­quil­lity and immer­sion in the wild. Our guests don’t just vis­it, their stay helps pro­tect this incred­ible environment.”

Sur­roun­ded by low­land mixed forests, the 12 tents at Car­damom Ten­ted Camp circle a nat­ur­al grass­land glade.

‘A front-line conservation effort’

Car­damom Ten­ted Camp is a key play­er in con­ser­va­tion, with profits from its accom­mod­a­tion, river­side res­taur­ant, and eco-activ­it­ies such as kayak­ing and guided hikes sup­port­ing 18 forest rangers. The rangers patrol the nation­al park, drastic­ally redu­cing illeg­al hunt­ing and pro­tect­ing wild­life such as Asi­an ele­phants, sil­ver langurs, and smooth-coated otters.

Guests can engage in the camp’s con­ser­va­tion efforts or simply enjoy the peace and beauty of one of Cambodia’s most remote and untouched environments.

As Mr Michaud puts it, “Car­damom Ten­ted Camp appeals to vis­it­ors who want to con­trib­ute to a real front-line con­ser­va­tion effort while enjoy­ing the phys­ic­al and spir­itu­al bene­fits of being in nature.”

The award-win­ning camp, access­ible only by boat, main­tains a five-star rat­ing on Tri­pAd­visor based on 90 reviews. The camp’s motto, “Your Stay Keeps the Forest Stand­ing,” reflects the ecolodge’s com­mit­ment to pre­serving the unique biod­iversity of Botum Sakor Nation­al Park.

About Cardamom Tented Camp

Car­damom Ten­ted Camp is an eco­lodge loc­ated in the foot­hills of the Car­damom Moun­tains in Cam­bod­ia. The 12-unit ten­ted camp, with res­taur­ant pavil­ion, staff dorm­it­ory, eco­tour­ism equip­ment and boat pier, uses sol­ar power to run lodge amen­it­ies. The camp has its own waste water fil­tra­tion pro­cess. The camp is access­ible only by river boat or forest hike.

The lodge aims to min­im­ise the human foot­print on the nat­ur­al world and serve as a role mod­el in pro­mot­ing sus­tain­able eco­tour­ism prac­tices with­in both the nation­al park and Cam­bod­ia as a whole. Loc­ated on an 18,000-hectare (180 sq km) con­ces­sion, the lodge and its sur­round­ings are home to pristine low­land and coastal hab­it­ats link­ing wild­life cor­ridors to the Car­damom Moun­tains. Eco-friendly trekking and kayak­ing pack­ages are avail­able for adven­ture enthu­si­asts who are keen to be a part of real con­ser­va­tion work.

Car­damom Ten­ted Camp is a three-way ini­ti­at­ive between Minor Group, YAANA Ven­tures and Wild­life Alli­ance to ensure the land and its biod­iversity does not fall into the hands of log­gers, poach­ers and sand dredging operations.
