Known as the largest artificial lake in Vietnam, not only playing a crucial role in irrigation, thanks to its spacious and cool landscape and ideal tourist location, Ho Dau Tieng Lake has long been a familiar camping destination for many young people. Let's learn the camping tips at Ho Dau Tieng Lake from Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuan, a well-known figure in the 'camping enthusiast' community.
Located 38km east of Tay Ninh town, Ho Dau Tieng borders three provinces: Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, and Tay Ninh. The upper reaches of the large reservoir mainly lie within the administrative boundaries of Dau Tieng district, Tay Ninh province.
With a surface area of up to 27km2, Ho Dau Tieng was initiated in 1981 with the participation of the majority of Tay Ninh province residents. By 1985, the lake was completed and became an important hydraulic project in the South, helping to regulate salinity and freshwater in the lower reaches of the Sai Gon and Vam Co Dong rivers.
Positioned alongside Ba Den Mountain, the Tay Ninh Holy See, Ho Dau Tieng forms a picturesque tourist route in this province. Thanks to this advantage, you can explore these three points in a single day. During the mid-June summer days, Ho Dau Tieng attracts many visitors for recreational activities and to escape the heat.
For a long time, Ho Dau Tieng has been a familiar tourist camping spot for many young people, offering picturesque scenery and serene nature with endless grasslands. Accompanied by the vast expanse of the lake, always illuminated by the sun shining down from the mountains.
With its year-round vibrant green lake and gentle, soothing waves blending into lush green grass, this place harbors the picturesque beauty of unspoiled nature. Particularly, sunrise and sunset are the most enchanting moments of the day, captivating the soul with their dreamy essence.
No longer just a remote, simple check-in spot, the services around the lake are now increasingly flourishing. Especially, all-inclusive camping services are available for those who cannot camp independently. Moreover, to keep the lake ecosystem clean, there are regular waste collection services, with a fee of only 10k VND.
The lake surface is vast, with still some areas for free camping, perfect for those who prefer independence without relying on services. Therefore, if you plan to camp at Ho Dau Tieng Lake, it's best for your group to equip yourselves thoroughly with tents, camping gear, charcoal stoves, cooking utensils, food, snacks, and light meals to make the trip perfect and smooth!
