Camping at Bukit Surga

Bukit Surga is a very unique place to camp in Bali.  It sits up in a mountain overlooking the region of Karagasem.  From this vantage point you get views of the rice terraces and the green hills all the way out to the ocean.  In the mornings and evening you are often bathed in mist as it rolls up the valley, making for a cozy camping experience.

Another thing I like about camping at Bukit Surga is that you can drive right up to the camping area and get a perfect spot with a view.  Bathrooms (toilet and shower) are acceptable, extra options are nice, and the staff are wonderful.

Cost to stay: 25,000 per person

Getting there:

Pay close attention to our map, as there is a right way to go up the mountain and a wrong way.  Depending where you are coming from, Google might route you up the East side entrance which is not the best way and can be very very difficult to do.

What I suggest is create a three point route like this:

1. Your location
2. Put in a stop here at the gorgeous rice terraces  https://goo.gl/maps/tB8siy5HQfKHGogX8
3. Then make your destination Bukit Surga https://goo.gl/maps/nJPFcPcNzr6VpRT29

When you arrive keep to the left.  It looks like a narrow dirt road but it soon opens up into a wide grassy area where you can park the campervan and begin enjoying yourself.

Reverse the direction for going down the mountain.  When you leave Bukit Surga do not turn right out of the camp.  Go left and all will be well.
