Mae Mok Reservoir

Lampang

5.0(8 reviews)

Mae Mok Reservoir campsite in Lampang offers free tent camping and fishing right by the water in Thoen district, near the border with Thung Saliam district in Sukhothai. It's a good option for campers who prefer a reservoir setting over the beach or mountains, with quiet evening views and few visitors. The spot is well suited for fishing and overnight tent camping along the water's edge. There is no charge to camp here, but the site has no restrooms and no electricity, so campers should bring their own supplies including lighting. Mosquitoes can be noticeable in the early evening, so insect repellent is recommended. Overall it's a low-cost, low-crowd option for anyone looking for simple reservoir-side camping in Lampang province without facilities.

Notes from our team

Getting there: The road runs long along the reservoir. Small motorbikes can weave past the barriers, while sport-style mini bikes may not make it. The dam crest is about 1.8 km long, so campers can space themselves out.
Value for money: Entry is free per person, with parking and campfires allowed. Good for a casual drive out and an overnight stay without much advance planning — just fish or relax along the dam crest.
Food & supplies: There is a restaurant at the reservoir, so no need to pack much food. Several visitors ask everyone to carry trash back to the bins so the area stays clean.

A place filled with memories. Nature makes me feel calm and peaceful.❤️ Some places aren’t special because of what they are, but because of the memories they hold. The past can never be forgotten. It simply reminds us to keep moving forward. I don’t really know what true happiness is. Maybe peace is my own little kind of happiness.🤍
