Discover 6 exceptionally ideal camping spots in Ninh Thuan for your September 2nd getaway.
Let Mytour guide you to 6 fascinating destinations in this rugged land.
1. Rái Cave
Regarded as the most unique “waterfall on the sea” in Vietnam, Rái Cave offers a myriad of emotions during exploration. The highlight of the Rái Cave area is the ancient coral reef, attracting tourists for sightseeing and photography. The most beautiful time at Rái Cave is at dawn, with the red glow of the sun beginning to awaken life. The green moss, after a night's slumber, seems to come alive with the first rays of sunlight. As the sun rises higher, the sea surface appears like floating clouds.
The perfect time to visit Hang Rái is in the afternoon, setting up camp to catch the sunrise. Hang Rái offers all necessary services, from dining and accommodation to scooter rentals, so you don't need to worry about anything. Just 5km away from Vinh Hy Bay, with numerous vineyards nearby, you can explore beautiful beaches without going too far.
2. Cape Dinh
On the DT701 route from Ca Na to Phan Rang, you'll traverse a breathtaking coastal road, with Cape Dinh being an ideal camping spot. To reach Cape Dinh from the main road, you have to cross a sandy desert, approximately 2km long and quite challenging. However, the seascape here will make you forget all the effort.
While Cape Dinh used to be remote with limited services, it now boasts various eateries, freshwater bathing, off-road biking over sand dunes, etc. Bring along a tent to sleep on the beach and fully experience the beauty this place has to offer. The crystal-clear sea, the majestic scene from the lighthouse will captivate anyone setting foot in Cape Dinh for the first time.
3. Freshwater Beach
Named after the freshwater stream flowing into the sea from the Nui Chua National Park, Freshwater Beach requires careful observation to find the trail down to the beach. It's not an easy path as it's quite rugged. Most visitors reach Freshwater Beach by tourist boat, often with limited time to explore the beauty of this place.
Camping on Freshwater Beach, considered the most beautiful in the Tứ Bình sea, will provide you with many unforgettable experiences. The picturesque scenery will make you want to stay here forever. In front, there's the blue sea with white sand, and behind, a gentle flowing freshwater stream. Surrounded by lush mountains, it feels like the entire beach is yours alone. The sea here is safe for swimming, with a long stretch of fine sand and gentle waves. Moreover, in the rock pools, you can admire colorful schools of fish swimming playfully.
4. Nui Chua
Conquering Nui Chua is no easy feat, even though this mountain is only approximately 1,000m above sea level. With various peaks at different heights, the highest being the summit of Mount Co Tuy at 1,040m. After successfully conquering Nui Chua, many believe it's more challenging than climbing the roof of Indochina, Fansipan, as Nui Chua is located in a unique forest, characteristic of the arid ecosystem in Southeast Asia, with a climate as dry as Africa.
The mountain climbing itinerary typically lasts for 2 days and 1 night, allowing you to experience the harsh weather conditions here, scorching hot during the day and bone-chillingly cold at night. Camping and cooking in the forest while conquering Nui Chua will provide you with the most practical experiences, helping you gain more understanding and maturity after the journey.
5. Thung Beach
About 8km from Vinh Hy Bay towards Binh Tien Sea, Thung Beach captivates those who love true wilderness. There's no electricity, no fresh water, no phone signal, and no restroom facilities. However, Thung Beach area hides many incredibly interesting things, with colorful coral reefs and a variety of marine creatures, from familiar to exotic. From venomous sea urchins to massive sea slugs the size of two hands joined together, or numerous moon-faced snails, the diversity is endless.
As night falls, the sky becomes a canvas of twinkling stars, a cool breeze gently blowing, undoubtedly, camping here for just one night will leave you with many regrets.
6. Kien Kien Stream
Another stream within the Nui Chua National Park, however, Kien Kien Stream presents a lush and pleasant meadow scene. Located in Thuan Bac district, the journey here allows you to marvel at fields of thousands of sheep, feeling like you've stepped into a remote western frontier, truly fantastic.
