Nature's Retreat at Phu Kradueng Park Campground

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the center of Phu Kradueng, head south on Route 203 towards the Phu Kradueng National Park entrance. Follow the signs for the National Park. Once you reach the entrance, you will need to pay a small entrance fee (approximately 200 THB for adults and 100 THB for children). After entering, continue along the main road until you reach the parking area. From the parking lot, the campground is a short walk along the designated trail. Make sure to carry your camping gear and water.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Phu Kradueng Park Campground using public transportation, you can take a bus from Loei City to Phu Kradueng District. Buses typically depart from the Loei Bus Terminal. The fare is around 50-80 THB and the journey takes approximately 1-2 hours. Once you arrive at the Phu Kradueng bus station, you will need to hire a local taxi or songthaew (shared taxi) to the national park entrance for about 100-150 THB. After entering the park, you'll have to walk to the campground, which is a few kilometers away from the entrance.

• Hiking

  For adventurous travelers, if you have reached the park entrance, you can hike to the campground. The hiking trail is approximately 6 kilometers and takes around 2-3 hours to complete. The trail is well-marked, but be prepared with proper hiking shoes and plenty of water. Remember that the campground is located at a higher altitude, so the hike may be challenging. Make sure to arrive early to avoid hiking in the dark.
