Mae Tho National Park is a highland campsite in Chiang Mai province with sweeping mountain views and, on clear days, a visible glimpse of Doi Inthanon peak. Located in Hot district about 160 km from Chiang Mai city, reached via Highway 108 through Hot district, then the Hot–Mae Sariang road, turning onto Highway 1270 toward Ban Kong Loi–Ban Mae Tho. The last kilometer before the park office and campsite is an unpaved dirt track with deep ruts, requiring a 4x4 during rainy season since sedans likely cannot pass; it dries out after rain. The site itself is clean and shaded with clean toilets and helpful staff. There are no restaurants or convenience stores inside the park, so bring food and water in advance. Mobile signal is inconsistent and not available on every network in the mountains, so a power bank or power station is recommended for overnight stays. Bungalows are available but visitors should confirm availability before visiting.
Equipment rental availablePhu Khiang Dao Campsite is a hillside campsite in Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai province, known for morning sea-of-mist views facing Doi Luang Chiang Dao. Located in Ban Mae Sai, Mae Na subdistrict, this camping in Chiang Mai spot is privately owned by the same owner as Baan Kod Lom Hom Doi. Guests must first check in at Baan Kod Lom Hom Doi, then either hike about 400 meters uphill to the campsite or ride a motorcycle directly up to the camping area. From the main road, it's roughly 8 kilometers to Baan Kod Lom Hom Doi along a concrete road that isn't too steep. Camping fee is 150 THB per person per night, with tents, sleeping bags, pillows and sleeping pads available for rent. There are 2 toilets and 2 shower rooms, but no electricity or hot water — only solar-powered lights near the bathrooms and walkway. AIS and True phone signals both work on site. A round-trip shuttle service from the district town is available for 600 THB. This campsite suits campers looking for a quiet, private outdoor experience close to nature.
Equipment rental availablePong Jo Reservoir Campsite in Mae Wang National Park offers a scenic campsite in Chiang Mai overlooking the reservoir with beautiful evening light. Tent fee is 30 THB per person, park entrance is 20 THB per person, and there's a 30 THB vehicle fee. The park limits capacity to 50 visitors per day, keeping the grounds spacious with good spacing between tents, and campers can choose their preferred view spot on a first-come basis. Staff are helpful and both the campsite and restrooms are kept clean. Nighttime temperatures can drop to around 15 degrees Celsius, so bring extra blankets. The parking area is fairly far from the camping spots, so bringing a cart is recommended, though one can be borrowed from park staff if needed. The park also has tents available for rent for those who don't have their own gear, and the shaded area under large trees makes it a good spot for a day picnic even without camping overnight.
