Vietnam Camping

Camping in Vietnam is a little different than say, the Rocky Mountains. For one, it’s a tropical and subtropical destination, so it’s hot, which doesn’t bode well for tent camping. The spots to camp are mostly guided camping tours. Though motorbikers on long trips will often camp, sometimes in a netted hammock.

Places to Camp in Vietnam

National Parks are going to be among the best places to experience nature in Vietnam. A few of them have campsites where you can pitch a tent. Backpackers hiking up higher peaks will often camp in the forest. And there are also a slew of glamping options in Vietnam, like the hobbit village or La Gi Basecamp.

Guide to Where to Camp in Vietnam

Vietnam is a hidden gem in southeast Asia that calls tourists who are thirsty for stunning scenery that can’t be found elsewhere. Being able to spend a night or two outdoors in Vietnam might sound like the perfect way to soak up the views for some time away from crowds and bustling town streets.

While camping in this country isn’t the same as in other parts of the world, it’s still possible to do with specific protocols.

Motorbike Camping

One way to experience rural Vietnam is to travel by motorbike to remote areas and beaches and set up a place to sleep with netted hammocks and small ground tents. Keep in mind that before setting up anywhere for the night, you need to inform the local authorities and see if a permit is required to stay overnight.

It’s also important to consider that this part of Asia is home to many snake and bug species, so it’s best to be prepared for running into this kind of wildlife. Be sure to have a proper motorbike packing list for your trip.

Guided camping tours are another way to experience more of Vietnam’s outdoors and natural areas. Some of these multi-day tours combine hiking and cycling, allowing visitors to explore the land in more ways than one.

Other trips include travel by motorbike or boat, and local guides will bring visitors to some of the most spectacular off-the-grid locations that most tourists never see. There are those that visit some Vietnam’s amazing national parks too.

Beach Camping

Some beaches in Vietnam have designated campsites for adventurers looking to spend the night outside by the shore. The accommodations can range from hammocks and hunts to tent camping, both on recreation sites and some outdoor activities nearby.

Resort Camping

Some of the more unique countryside resorts might have a tent camping option where they provide and set up your nightly accommodations. Or it’s even more a glamping option, whether it’s a sturdier, bigger tent, or some tiny house with amenities. One option is this Lord of the Rings themed hobbit village.
