If you prefer to be closer to bicycle rental shops and general entertainment, we recommend applying for a permit at Area D. The abundance of tents almost creates a community- make sure you get your permit extra early! If you’re after peace and quiet however, Area G is for you. Located almost at the end of East Coast Park, we heard nothing more than waves hitting the shore.

Pulau Hantu is located to the south of the main island of Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore. Pulau Hantu is actually made up of two islets: Pulau Hantu Besar (Big Ghost Island) and Pulau Hantu Kechil (Little Ghost Island), with a total area of 12.6 hectares. At low tide, it is possible to wade across the shallow lagoon between the two islands, but not at high tide.

A romantic night under the stars. Pasir Ris Park is the perfect choice for camping on the quieter side of the island, yet fuss-free with all the modern facilities you need. Chill in the tent as you watch planes fly past and stay up all night talking about your dreams.

When the day breaks, you can explore a 6-hectare mangrove trail, get lost in a maze garden, learn stand-up paddleboarding, or go for a pony ride at Gallop Stable. This will surely be a special date that you’ll look back with fond memories when you grow old. Likewise, you need to apply for a camping permit online or at an AXS machine at the park. Camping is permitted in areas 1 & 3 right beside the waterfront. While most things are available at your “campsite”, for first-time campers, be sure to read our 1st-hand tips below.
