Hong Kong is more than just a concrete jungle famous for its dining experiences and being a shopping paradise. Its natural landscapes and scenery are undoubtedly always worth a visit. And, a perfect way to experience the natural beauty of Hong Kong is through camping.
Camping in Hong Kong is always fun with friends and family, allowing for bonding time as well as being the ideal getaway for the weekend. But, the best part is that it can also be done in different ways depending on the experience you’re looking for.
You can choose to set up tents in the numerous Hong Kong camping sites and country parks or you may book a room or a bungalow in the Holiday Camps. More recently, however, a trendier way to camp has been growing in popularity – glamping – which essentially just involves living in big tents with all necessary facilities, making the experience a little more fancy and fun.
Here are some of the best glamping sites in Hong Kong for your countryside getaway where you won’t have to sacrifice comfort and amenities.
Park Nature
Park Nature is a serene glamping site in Hong Kong showcasing the far-reaching panoramic views of Yuen Long. It allows campers to connect with nature and forget all the stress from their daily lives.
Instead of tents, Park Nature’s accommodation includes seven luxury caravans of varying themes including a Moroccan-themed caravan as well as one with a modern, minimalist style. Some caravans are also pet-friendly, allowing you to bring your furry friends to an unforgettable getaway.
The interior of the caravans include furniture and appliances with a touch of deluxe design – beautiful wooden interiors, large windows to stargaze at night and comfortable bedding to make the experience more relaxing. This is certainly some of the swankiest camping in Hong Kong.
Park Nature also organizes activities for campers like an enticing mountain biking experience, a calm walk to Nam Sang Wai Wetland, a hike up the Kai Keung Leng trail to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the New Territories and even farming at a nearby farm. If you want to host a special event like a wedding, a proposal or even a party, Park Nature has got you covered with their special event planning services that will make your day even more beautiful and magical.
