Image
 Camping in summer in Cambodia can be a wonderful experience, especially when you choose places with rivers or waterfalls where you can cool off and enjoy nature. Although the dry season (November to April) is usually the best time for camping, some areas are still great during early summer if you prepare well.

Many beautiful places, such as Kirirom National Park, Kampot, and the Cardamom Mountains, offer cool environments with rivers and waterfalls.
