The Trail Base at Acacia Camp

The Trail Base at Acacia Camp Sentul

Fully-staffed private camp stays & outdoor events

The Trail Base at Acacia Camp Sentul is idGuides’ village-based trail base for group hike/trail run activities, private camps, outdoor education and natural group retreats and special outdoor events. The Camp is inspired by the famous East African safari camps, many of which are community-owned and managed, with the aim of blending in to the natural environment and having positive impact.

Situated on a 5000m2 hilltop, Acacia Camp boasts spectacular 360-degree views overlooking the idGuides-restored padi fields and the Ciherang River watershed up to its source at Cisadon 7km to the south in the Mega Mendung hills.

To preserve camp feel, Acacia Camp is situated where there is little-to-no vehicle access up to camp. Instead, all visitors need to walk 5-10 minutes along a good path which ascends through villages and padi fields. Porters are available to assist with bags (1 porter pp, max 20kg).

Facilities are simple but comfortable, intended in design and function as an expedition outdoor education base and natural camp retreat without the boundaries or restrictions of walls, unnecessary noise or light pollution.

Since 2009, our founding regenerative tourism principles are Zero-Waste, to Leave No Trace and to contribute positively to our surrounding environment and community partners. In keeping with eco-camp principles and practice, The Trail Base at Acacia Camp is designed to minimize water & energy use, waste and noise. Electricity is available for charging mobile devices and for essential lighting, with solar-powered and traditional lanterns providing safari-camp lighting during the night.

Facilities include a covered dining area with tables and benches (sitting up to 30 people to dine comfortably), 3 large bathrooms with clean shower & mandi wash facilities, sit-down toilets and loo paper. Our field kitchen is restricted to idGuides staff and our long-time cooks Ibu Ani and Ibu Yati – however with advance request – a BBQ can be made available to use by guests.

Our camping area has space for up to 20 tents spaciously, 30-40 at a squeeze.
