Most National Parks in Malaysia provide jungle camping sites. There are also many mountain and beach sites which are suitable for camping. In picking a camp site, always take note of the weather conditions. The rainy or monsoon season during December to February renders some camp sites along the river trails of Taman Negara inaccessible. Always check with relevant Park authorities first.

The lower altitudes of primary jungles like Taman Negara and Kenong Rimba Park in Pahang; Endau Rompin in Johor; Mulu and Lambir National Parks in Sarawak are humid, so your choice of tents should allow for good ventilation. All-enclosed nylon tents with sewn-in groundsheets are not recommended as they tend to condense air inside. Cotton tents get heavy after absorbing water.
