“I want to change people’s thoughts about camping, saying it is a sacrifice of one’s needs and satisfaction”, Duy said. Being different from popular camping types such as bushcraft (specialized in survival skills, using what is available in the nature), original camping (only a camp and a few simple items), high-camping is aimed at comfort and relaxation to the visitors.

This place is suitable for people who do not have time to go travelling or camping in the middle of the pandemic. The owner shared: “Because of Covid-19, I can not travel or go to crowded places. It is faith that I came to camping, one of the safetest travelling activity at the moment”. The café is in the process of completing menu. Photo: Tran Ngoc Qui
