ZENNA POOL CAMP Long Hai Beach; www. zennapoolcamp. com; 093 265 3546 Price: 80,000vnđ per person to pitch your own tent | 150,000vnđ to rent a tent
Two and a half hours from Saigon, the first beach on the Ocean Road is Long Hai. However, Zenna Pool Camp is located on the beach in the nondescript town of Phuoc Thinh, just a few kilometres west of Long Hai. Set under dozens of casuarina trees swaying in the sea breeze, Zenna has lots of good, shady areas to pitch your tent. Rental tents come in all sizes: from 2 man to 10 man. The beach is OK, but it’ s better as a backdrop than for swimming and lying on. Zenna has two pools with slides( great for kids) which campers can use for 40,000vnd per day. There’ s a seafood restaurant and beach bar, and plenty of loungers set under the trees. It’ s a decent place to camp for a night if you’ re Shady space under dozen of trees by the beach, Zenna Pool Camp is within easy reach of Saigon short on time and can’ t reach the other beaches. Note that the showers and toilets aren’ t very appealing.

A little further up the sandbar from River Ray Estates, the Beach House is a decent new option. This is a good campground( including showers) under casuarina trees with a long beachfront. There are showers and a nice riverfront restaurant. Prices are very reasonable and, when I asked the manager, he said the price is the same to rent or pitch your own tent: 95,000vnd per person.
Lots of shady, beachfront space on the campgrounds at The Beach House The MAG Vung Tau 41
