Camping


Camping is a favourite outdoor recreational activity, in which the campers get away form civilization and enjoy nature by spending one or more nights at a campsite. They may use a tent, a primitive structure, a travel trailer or recreational vehicle, or no shelter at all. Camping as a recreational activity became popular in the early 20th century. Campers frequent national parks and other publicly owned natural areas.

Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (Kuala Selangor Nature Park)
Next to Bukit Malawati is the Taman Alam Kuala Selangor, a 240-hectare nature park on the estuary of Sungai Selangor. The campsite charge RM50 for 40 people. This Park is noted for its birdlife, with around 150 species of birds sighted. There is an estimated 100,000 wading birds, comprising some 30 species, passing through here on their annual migration. An enclosure in the park houses a number of the endangered milky stork. This is an active breeding programme run in conjunction with Zoo Negara, or the National Zoo. There are numerous trails, watchtowers and several hides for better bird-watching.
