Overview

Z Camp sits on Kenh Ha lake in Phuoc Dong, inside the Galina Lake View grounds. About ten kilometres from the centre, fifteen to twenty minutes on a motorbike. The word lake is the point: fresh water, flat, no surf, ringed by wooded hills. The opposite of everything else on this site.

The main thing to do is paddleboard, from three until half past five. The ticket usually covers gate entry, a life jacket, a briefing before you get on the water and a snack. There are also kayaks, pedal boats, bicycles around the lake, fishing and a barbecue by the water.

You can stay: tents and glamping run roughly 350,000 to 800,000₫ a night depending on the type. The water is flat and shallow at the edge, which suits families with children better than an island tour does. No seasickness and no boat timetable.

Do this first

This is a lake, not the sea: the water is green rather than the turquoise of the bay, so do not expect Hon Mun. And the paddleboarding is an afternoon slot. Arrive in the morning and most of the water activities are not running yet.

Other outdoor days: the hill walks, Ba Hồ stream and Yang Bay falls.

What's included

  • A flat freshwater lake about ten kilometres from the centre
  • Paddleboarding 15:00–17:30, life jacket and briefing included
  • Camping and glamping, roughly 350,000–800,000₫ a night
  • Kayaks, pedal boats, bicycles, fishing and a lakeside barbecue

Practical tips

  • Come in the afternoon; the water activities do not run in the morning
  • It is a lake, not the sea: green water rather than the clear bay
  • Better than an island tour with children: no seasickness, no boat timetable
  • Confirm the price and the timings before you go; both move with the season

Frequently asked

Is this the sea or a lake?

A freshwater lake, Kenh Ha, about ten kilometres out. Flat and green rather than the clear water of the bay, so it does not compare with Hon Mun.

When can I paddleboard?

From three until half past five. The ticket usually includes gate entry, a life jacket, a briefing and a snack. Mornings are too early.

Can I stay the night?

Yes. Tents and glamping, roughly 350,000 to 800,000₫ a night depending on type. Confirm the rate, as it moves with the season.
