Just 1hr45 minutes from Vung Tau , Giang Dien Waterfall and camping in Dong Nai

The Eco-tourism of Giang Dien Waterfall is located in Hoa Binh Hamlet , Giang Dien Commune , Trang Bom District , Dong Nai Province We have been on a number of occasions as a group usually 6 people however our last visit was a true family outing with 13 of us spanning 5 tents . Make sure you pack the esky before you go , ice is available at the site , don ’ t forget the meat for the BBQ .

For the ladies the list is like moving house , however good to have : Food for 2 BBQ ’ s , snacks , Coffee /
