The Camp Chiangkhan

We came with an international caravan group that drove from bangkok to The Camp for a Christmas Eve party. The Mookata party was great, the weather was great, and the food was good value. But the glamping tents we used for two nights were far below what we expected. They were moldy and smelly, the toilets didn’t work, and showers flooded. During the hot afternoon the electricity went out, so our aircons stopped working, then a faulty water pump left the tents without water. The owner had insisted we pay in full on the first night, but there was no compensation or even an apology for the awful experience. Our group took up nearly all the tents and some rooms, and the staff seemed a bit short handed. On Christmas morning, the Mookata from the night before hadn’t even been cleared away, with food and dirty cutlery everywhere. First time at The Camp, and probably our last. 😭😭😭😭

We had to cross a rickety bridge to get to our villa unit, and some of the wooden beams were partly broken and needed fixing. Inside, there was nowhere to hang clothes in either the room or wash room, and just one power socket for three of us. The stand fan kept tipping downward and couldn’t be raised higher. In V4, the wash basin leaked badly. We reported it, but it wasn’t fixed properly, so we were moved to another unit. We will never return.

Our two nights in tent 16 started badly. It smelled unpleasant and wasn’t very clean. There was a frog in the toilet bowl and toads were running around the basin. The basin seemed unstable, the bathroom entrance was tiny, and there was no place to hang towels or clothes. The shower didn’t work properly either. The hotel felt poorly maintained and managed, and wasn’t user-friendly. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Everything felt old and poorly maintained, and the camp was dark, dirty, and smelled strongly unpleasant. The bed and pillow were damp and smelly too. I wouldn’t come back.
