Park Nature

Nestled in the western foothills of the scenic Kai Kung Leng, Park Nature offers an idyllic caravan camping experience for the luxury lovers among you. Putting the “glam” in glamping, the stargazer caravans come with premium amenities, such as air-conditioning, refrigerators, kitchenware, eco-toilets, electric showers, and even an automatic mahjong table for rental. Its biggest draw, however, has to be the open panoramic roof that allows you to doze off peacefully to the star-studded sky. If stargazing is not your thing, there are also other caravans with British and Moroccan themes, as well as various pet-friendly options!

Accommodation aside, daytime activities are just as enticing, with loads of outdoor fun to be had on-site, like football, badminton, trampolines, and barbecue pits. Venture further afield and nearby countryside attractions like Nam Sang Wai and Hong Kong Wetland Park await to be explored.
