Ideal camping locations in Lombok
Lombok sports several great locations for a camping trip. With many quiet hills, beaches, and many other natural places, it can get difficult to choose. Be sure to get permission before camping in the wild.
Mount Rinjani
Most people go camping on Mount Rinjani. This is partially a must and partially an amazing experience. When you want to hike up the majestic volcano, there are no accommodations on the way. But, the porters provide tents for camping in Lombok in the most natural environment.
Camping on a hill
You can do Camping in Lombok on beautiful hills. This way, you will enjoy the view of Lombok from a broad perspective. Don’t forget that the sunset and sunrise are also very charming here.
Beach camping
The advantage of camping on the beach is that you can hear the relaxing sound of waves crashing on the sand. As an added advantage, you can get out of your tent and go fishing or swimming.
Camping Ground

Facilities while camping in Lombok
Even though the recommended places above are mostly natural destinations for Camping in Lombok. On average they already have supporting facilities. Toilets, parking lots and more. When it comes to camping equipment, you can rent it. You can find rentals spread across the island.
Glamping in Lombok
When you are looking for a bit more comfort, you should add glamping to your Lombok itinerary. If you don’t know what glamping is yet, I can tell you that it’s short for ‘glamorous camping’. Basically, this is a new concept that combines traditional accommodation with the otherwise back-to-basics, camping.
You won’t need to provide anything. Best of all, you can enjoy a bit of luxury compared to camping in Lombok. Stronger and thicker tents, an actual mattress, private bathroom, shelves or wardrobe, lights, electricity, chairs, tables, water heaters and other more than welcome amenities.
Where to glamp in Lombok
As the concept is already pretty popular in Indonesia and Lombok, it’s not too difficult to find a glamping camp. Choose one with a view of the beach, rice fields, or Gunung Rinjani. There are even glamping sites with a swimming pool. You can already book a stay from IDR 450.000 (USD 30 | EUR 27.50| AUD 45).
Some of the best glamping spots are Sembalun Glamping, Jeevaa Bloam Beach Camp and La Cocoteraie Ecolodge.
Alternative to camping and glamping
Many tourists do prefer the comfort of an actual building, like a Lombok bungalow or villa. This way you can feel more safe about leaving your valuables in your room. And you won’t need earplugs since the walls block off any unwanted noise.
At Amazing Lombok Resort, you stay within the Lombok nature. There are gorgeous hills in three directions. And the resort is surrounded by local farms. Still you can enjoy sleeping in a real bed, soaking in the refreshing swimming pool, and snacking all day at the restaurant.
