Families seeking a nature escape without long travel can now enjoy camping and glamping in the heart of Putrajaya. The Wetland campsite, located in Taman Wetland Putrajaya, offers a serene environment with fresh air, just a short distance from the Klang Valley.
This year, a "Rahmah" package was introduced, making camping accessible at RM30 per site on weekdays. This initiative, managed by Gopeng Glamping Park (GGP) Consultancy & Training Services Sdn. Bhd., aims to boost weekday visits and lower recreational costs for families. Previously, weekday rates were RM50, and weekend rates were RM80.
Why not try to attract more people to camp on weekdays at a lower price? Weekends are already busy, so we are focusing the Rahmah package on weekdays for now.
"We thought, why not try to attract more people to camp on weekdays at a lower price," said Adam Haikal Yusof, Operations Manager for GGP. "Weekends are already busy, so we are focusing the Rahmah package on weekdays for now." Visitors can also purchase Rahmah meal packages for as low as RM9 per person, including food, drinks, and fruit, simplifying meals for campers.
The campsite boasts modern facilities such as free parking, power outlets at each site, a campfire area, an open hall, restrooms, a surau (prayer room), and a children's oasis pool. It also adheres to a Muslim-friendly concept, prohibiting alcohol, non-halal food, smoking, vaping, and drug use, with potential fines up to RM3,000 for violations. Safety is a priority, with 24-hour security, regular patrols, and emergency buttons available.
Sometimes families come camping wanting to relax. So we provide food options at a low price to make it easier and more economical.
