Have I fallen for the camping propaganda?

🏕️📍 Eco Valley Retreat, Tawau, Sabah!

For anyone who's been asking "Where is this?!" and "How?!" here’s the scoop. This hidden gem is about a 58-minutes drive from Tawau town, tucked away in the lush Balung area. It’s less of a resort and more of a giant valley lined with tall hills painting the view.

🌿 The Vibe: Imagine waking up to a symphony of birds and the gentle sound of the river, not traffic. The air is cool, clean, and smells like earth and flowers. It’s the ultimate digital detox (but yes, they have pockets of celcom/digi signal if you really need it).

🏕️ The Stay:

You don't just book a room, you choose your adventure! They have a range of super affordable accommodation:

· Camping: Bring your own tent and pay a fee of RM50/pax for no breakfast campsite and RM70/pax for the campsite with breakfast.

. Daily entrance: cost about RM30/pax for a daily entrance with access to campsite and free refreshments!

· Rent-a-Tent: No gear? No problem! You can rent a ready-pitched tent with basic bedding. Perfect for beginners! Prices for rentals are RM60 for a small tent that can fit 2 pax and RM100 for a large tent that can fit 4 pax.

· Chalets & Dorms: They also have basic, no-frills wooden chalets and dormitory beds for those who prefer four walls. most options are RM250 - RM300/night

· Food: You can BBQ (bring your own or buy there), order simple, delicious local meals from their kitchen (think fried rice, noodles, teh tarik), or use their shared kitchen. A meal is roughly RM20 for dinner and RM25 for lunch

· Activities: The best things are free! bird watching, and stargazing. They also have optional paid activities like fruit buffet or guided tours.

Pro Tip: Book in advance via their Facebook page or WhatsApp! Pack insect repellent, a good torchlight, and an open heart.
