Glamping Camp Bandung
at Ciwidey, Situ Patenggang, and Pangalengan

Glamping Camp Bandung originated in Lembang but has expanded to include Ciwidey and Pangalengan in southern Bandung. Glamping, or Glamour Camping, has become a popular trend in recent years, as it allows people to enjoy sleeping outdoors without the hassle of carrying and setting up a tent. You even get comfortable beds and an ensuite bathroom if you book a large tent. Additionally, some glamping sites are part of a resort that offers one or two restaurants.

2. Green Hill Park Ciwidey

Address: Jalan Patengan Km. 41 Rancabali, Ciwidey, Bandung.
GPS Coordinates: 7°08'30.4"S 107°23'43.0"E (-7.141790, 107.395284)

Green Hill Park Ciwidey is situated within Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Cimanggu in Ciwidey. Taman Wisata Alam is a protected natural park used for conservation and tourism. As a result, glamping in Green Hill Park is nestled inside a pine forest.

Green Hill Park offers glamping accommodations in various types of tents. The smallest tent can accommodate two persons, but the bathrooms are communal. On the other hand, the largest glamping looks like a big cottage with a porch, a living room, and a private bathroom, which can accommodate up to ten persons.

Visiting Green Hill Park with a group is a lot of fun, as you can enjoy activities such as paintball war, ATV, or trekking around the park. Since Cimanggu is well-known for its hot springs, soaking in the hot spring pool is an activity you don't want to miss.

3. Glamping Legok Kondang Lodge

Address: Jalan Kurunangan Lebak Muncang, Ciwidey, Bandung.
GPS Coordinates: 7°07'02.1"S 107°25'04.1"E (-7.117262, 107.417817

Glamping Legok Kondang Lodge is a luxurious glamping camp in Bandung. However, it seems somewhat biased to call them glamping since each room looks more like a cottage than a tent. The only thing that makes them look like a tent is the canvas tent used for the roof. The lodge offers a range of impressive facilities, including private bathrooms with bathtubs, private heated infinity pools, floating breakfasts, and terrace fireplaces.

The location of Glamping Legok Kondang Lodge is a bit remote, which allows you to relax in peace and quiet while soaking up the stunning views of nature. Children are not left out as they can engage in fun activities such as playing in the playground or picking strawberries in the nearby nursery.

4. Bubu Jungle Resort

Address: Jalan Raya Ciwidey - Rancabali Patenggang KM.39, Ciwidey, Bandung.
GPS Coordinates: 7°07'20.2"S 107°25'05.3" E (-7.122282, 107.418127)

Another glamping camp in Bandung near Glamping Legok Kondang Lodge is the Bubu Jungle Resort. The name Bubu comes from the Sundanese language, which means a traditional bamboo contraption used for catching fish. Hence, every cottage has a giant bubu surrounding it, including the camping pod. Although it is called a camping pod, it looks like a tiny cottage inside a giant bubu. It is a cozy space that can accommodate two people and comes with a private bathroom, wifi, cable TV, and Bluetooth speaker.

As a resort, Bubu Jungle Resort provides many facilities, such as swimming pools, floating breakfast, jacuzzi, bonfires, and barbecue. Plus, you can book an outbound program, paintball, and ATV ride.

5. Ciwidey Valley Resort

Address: Jl. Barutunggul KM. 17 Ciwidey, Bandung.
GPS Coordinates: 7°08'04.9"S 107°24'57.4"E (-7.134707, 107.415950)

Ciwidey Valley Resort is a glamping camp situated in southern Bandung, which used to be a popular destination among tourists. The resort offers various types of accommodation, including glamping. You can choose between a small tepee-style tent (an Indian tent) for two people or a big tent for families. The resort features a heated swimming pool resembling a waterpark with its slides and waterfalls, a playground, and a small labyrinth. It also has an aviary, but sadly, it is dirty and lacks any exotic bird.

Unfortunately, the resort has been facing maintenance issues for a while now. Many guests have complained about the hygiene and cleanliness of the facilities. Moreover, the swimming pool is often overcrowded since it is open to the public.

Glamping Camp Bandung in Pangalengan

6. Pineus Tilu Riverside Camping

Address: RG9V+6X9, Pulosari Village, Pangalengan, Bandung
GPS Coordinates: 7°10'54.9"S 107°32'41.9" E (-7.181928, 107.544975)

Pineus Tilu Riverside Camping is located inside the Rahong pine forest, Pangalengan. You will find nine spacious tents nestled beneath the canopy of pine trees on the banks of the Palayangan River. The tents will not be damp because every tent stands on a wooden platform. Each platform is large enough for one big tent and a dining area overlooking the river. Each tent is divided into a bedroom and a living room, with a capacity of up to six people. Electricity, communal bathrooms equipped with warm water, and barbecue sets are facilities you will get when you spend a night in Pineus Tilu. Plus, the cell phone signal from the major providers, such as Telkomsel, Indosat, and XL, is quite strong. But, don't forget to bring some food for dinner since Pineus Tilu only provides breakfast!

Inside the 4.5-hectare Rahong forest, there are six tourism areas. You can participate in many outdoor activities, such as paintball, flying fox, rafting, tubing, fun games, and off-road adventures. Other nearby attractions include Nimo Highland, Situ Cileunca, Wayang Windu Panenjoan, and the Malabar tea plantation.

You see, glamping is a very loose term. Glamour Camping often means you will not sleep in a tent! Most likely, you will get a modified cottage with canvas tents as its roof and sometimes walls. Therefore, make sure you do a quick check to make sure the glamping camp Bandung you like is up to your expectation :)

Finally, the idea of glamping is to experience the outdoors. No matter how clean the camping ground is, it is prone to bugs and such. So, you'd better bring some mosquito repellent and bugs spray. Some guests suggest using sticky straws to catch flies.
