We should premis this review by stating that we have never been "campers" and not likely to to be in the future; add this to the purpose of the visit being the ANZAC day, marking 60 years since the commencement of the Death Railway and the mold for "Happy Campers" is not quite there! The Campsite is quite unique with... More

The campsite is close to Death Valley Museum which is the best museum to see of the Death Railway. The campsite itself is great with a pool by the river that is fed from a spring. There are spacious tents in a semi circle with the evening meal/barbecue set out in the centre. Our tent was spacious all facilities, good... More

Hintok River Camp Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. I booked accommodation online on its website and got 40% off. The tented camps are fully air-conditioned and very comfortable. The environment is so beautiful around this site which includes river, green grounds and mountains. Swimming pool is quite refreshing here and Thai food they serve is very tasty.

This hotel is very near the memorial sites for the WWII activities like seeing the Bridge over the River Kwai, riding the train, seeing the Death Railway Museum and the cemetary, and the Hellfire Pass museum and memorial. Also, you can rent bikes and ride into the village to see the women weaving baskets, and visit a rubber tree farmer... More

Two blissful nights spent at the Hintok River Camp were one of the highlights of a month-long trip to Southeast Asia. The camp is located near the museum dedicated to the prisoners of war used by the Japanese to build the Burma-Thailand railway during WWII, supposedly on land used by the Japanese. The camp consists of individual canvas tents, commodious... More

It's the so-called glamping in this area. But I think there is more to work on it. The room is spacious and unusual but cleanliness ought to be improved. And the service level too. I personally find the place too dimly lit in the night and if one needs help in the night, the front office staff are not there... More

We stayed there for a night as part of a tour we were doing through the region of kanchanaburi. None of us had tried *glamping* before so we were quite curious. Getting there was a bit of a track but once we had arrived it was just fantastic!!!! The tents are huge and equiped with A/C, except for the bathroom... More

Great location, great idea as a luxury campsite but missing quite a few things for a $150+ a night out of the way resort. First thing when you enter the property the feel of total lack of a maintenance and that is sad in a place where manpower is seemingly readily available and cheap. The service is friendly but very...

You stay in a tent--a large tent that holds two beds. The bathroom area is pretty basic. There is air conditioning, but you don't need it in January. The camp overlooks the river Kwai. There is a lovely spring-fed pool down the steps near the river. Also there are two sheep that wander around keeping the grass short. Bizarrely, they... More
