PUTRAJAYA has launched an upgraded campsite in Precinct 13 as part of initiatives to promote nature-based tourism.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh said the visitor numbers to Putrajaya Wetlands Park had risen steadily over the past three years, from 444,938 visitors in 2023 to 473,602 in 2024 and went up to 487,371 in 2025.
“The increase highlighted the growing popularity of nature-based recreational activities among urban residents,” she said when launching the upgraded campsite at Taman Wetland Putrajaya.
Also present were Federal Territories Department director-general Datuk Muhammad Azmi Mohd Zain and Perbadanan Putrajaya president Datuk Mohd Sakeri Abdul Kadir.
Yeoh said the campsite built on 0.5ha featured 48 tent lots capable of accommodating between 120 and 200 campers at any one time.
Rental rates start from RM50 for a two-day, one-night stay. Visitors can also rent camping equipment including tents, chairs, beds and lighting.
“The appointed operator is also offering weekday discounts for those seeking a quieter camping experience,” said Yeoh.
With the affordable facilities, urban families could now enjoy a more comfortable and family-friendly camping experience in a natural setting in Putrajaya, she said.
“The upgrading of the campsite is a positive step towards encouraging more families to reconnect with nature without having to travel far from the city.
“The development of recreational spaces such as this reflects the importance of balancing urban growth with quality of life.
“City development should not only focus on physical infrastructure, but also on how communities and families could enjoy healthier, more meaningful lifestyles,” she added.
Yeoh said the upgraded campsite was designed to support Putrajaya’s aspiration of becoming a greener and more liveable city, with improved facilities aimed at ensuring comfort, safety and accessibility for visitors.
Among the facilities available at the site are toilets, shower rooms, a surau, electricity supply, parking spaces, a dining hall and open areas for family and community activities.
The campsite also offers a variety of outdoor and adventure activities, including ATV (all-terrain vehicle) rides, cycling, flying fox, wall climbing, abseiling and jungle trekking.
One of the key attractions is the 420m dual zipline – the longest parallel double zipline in the country.
