Wang Thiam Mek (Kaen Lueang Island) offers one of Mukdahan province's most striking sunset viewpoints from a mid-reservoir island at the three-province border of Mukdahan, Kalasin, and Roi Et. The campsite in Mukdahan sits within Huai Wang Nong Reservoir in Nong Sung District, where golden kaen lueang trees grow along the water's edge and calm days bring clear sky reflections on the surface. Overnight camping costs 100 THB per person, with a vehicle entry fee of 50 THB per car. The community-run site has food, drinks, and toilets on-site. The access road is roughly 2 km of unpaved laterite track — too narrow for two vehicles to pass each other, and small cars are not recommended during rainy season. The nearby Tat Ton Waterfall makes a worthwhile side trip. Opening hours are Monday–Friday 12:00–18:30 and Saturday–Sunday and public holidays 10:00–18:30.
