About Cardamom Tented Camp

Cardamom Tented Camp is an ecolodge in southwest Cambodia, set in the remote jungle of the Cardamom Mountains near Trapeang Rung. Guests sleep in tented rooms with their own bathrooms, and the camp is built around trekking through the surrounding forest in support of local conservation work.

Days here are spent outdoors. The camp runs guided treks with nature guides who know the local flora and fauna, and the river alongside the property is used for swimming off the jetty, kayaking upriver and tubing. Night boat tours go out to look for wildlife; guests have reported seeing macaques, snakes and a civet, and hearing gibbons. Meals are served at the camp, along with beer brewed on site.

This suits travellers who want to see the diverse ecosystems of the Cardamom Mountains without needing a high level of fitness, and it works for families as well as couples: guests have stayed with childr...

Amazing experience. Completely off the grid. Great food, awesome hiking guides, and a beautiful river. We spent our time eating, relaxing on the dock, and tubing and kayaking down the pristine river. We were the only guests staying at the time (in August). The employees were kind and really good at spotting the animals from afar. Highly recommend the night boat ride.

An unforgettable experience. My partner and I stayed three nights and wish it could have been longer. The staff were so wonderful and accommodating. The food was excellent. The tented room was gorgeous, bathroom was also great. Our host Alan and his family bent over backwards without us ever having to ask for anything. Would recommend this experience to anyone looking to visit Cambodia.

I have to give the camp the highest 5* review I can! We had the most extraordinary 3 days here. The staff are so passionate and inspiring - particularly Sovann and Thea who enhanced our stay so much. The food was amazing and we looked forward to every meal, and also their delicious home brewed beer. They are truly eco friendly - everything is recycled and they minimise their impact on the environment wherever they can. We swam, kayaked, tubed down the river, trekked through the jungle and saw a huge range of flora and fauna. The logistics of getting there aren’t as bad as it seems, we got a bus from Phnom Penh and were picked up seamlessly. Your stay also helps to protect the forest (as a non profit organisation) from logging and poaching and you really feel your impact. The tent is so comfortable with private bathroom and a comfortable bed. We wished we could stay for so much longer. If you are visiting Cambodia you must visit this place and ensure it can continue its amazing work whilst having a magical few days. We will return when we can!

We had the most wonderful time with Allan and his team. The nature guides are expert animal spotters and are great with guests of varying experience in the outdoors. Food and rooms are fabulous. A great weekend getaway from Phnom Penh.

Blue cafe is 84.8 km north-east of Cardamom Tented Camp — a short ride rather than a walk.

Blue cafe is a small restaurant located in Choam, Chi Phat, offering casual dining in a modest setting. It serves as a neighbourhood spot where locals gather, and the menu is reasonably priced. The compact size means it maintains an intimate, unpretentious atmosphere rather than catering to large groups or formal occasions.

Visitors consistently describe the place as straightforward and good value. Reviewers mention that it caters well to local tastes and habits, with pricing that won't strain a budget. The feedback is generally positive though expressed in measured terms rather than enthusiastic praise — most comments fall in the "ok" to "good" range, suggesting it delivers what you'd expect from a neighbourhood cafe without particular surprises.

This is the kind of place to visit if you're comfortable with simple, casual dining and want to eat where local people do. Given its size, it works better for individuals or small groups than large parties. There's no information about opening hours or specific menu items, so it's worth asking locals for current details when you arrive in Chi Phat, particularly if you have dietary requirements or are visiting during off-peak times.
