Ahoy there!

We recently opened a campground on Koh Ta Kiev Island off the coast of Sihanoukville earlier this year called Crusoe Island. We opened the campground in response to a great number of travelers telling us they loved staying on the islands but could never afford to stay long. We've kept our accommodation very affordable, our bar prices are not inflated and the menu ranges from $2 to $20 to cater for the long-termers as well as the occasional splurge.

We sell camping permits for $2 per night which gets you access to the campground facilities including showers, western toilets, a beach bar, an excellent restaurant and the hire shop.
If you don't have your own gear, we rent out 4-man tents (comfortable with 2 people) with mattresses and pillows for $5 per night which includes camping permits. We also have some pretty funky bungalows including a grass tee-pee, a jungle hut and a wrecked boat converted into a house.

We offer a great range of activities to keep you busy including fishing trips, snorkeling, spear fishing, trekking, jungle survival classes, khmer kick-boxing classes (bokator), woodworking shop, archery... the list goes on.

The campground is on a western-facing headland with several small private beaches and one 1.8km long beach. There are campsites right on the beach, set back into the jungle canopy and even a few completely secluded sights with incredible views. A long and colorful coral reef lies ~50m off the beach and offers brilliant snorkeling.

The boat ferry runs from Otres beach daily and costs $13 for a return ticket.

You can check out the Crusoe Island website or Facebook page for more information and lots of photos.

Note: We have secure parking on the mainland for anybody touring on motorbikes. We came to Cambodia years ago on a bike and welcome fellow riders!
