camping on ubin the best in singapore?



Pulau Ubin is a favourite site for the family's monthly camping trips because it's 'more exclusive', says Mr Tan. 'At East Coast Park and Pasir Ris, you don't feel like you're with nature. There are people playing music and playing games. It kills the atmosphere.'
Mr Gordon Tan to The Straits Times in their article Great Escape: about camping in Singapore

A night on Ubin is anything but boring!

to read about his encounters with owls, bats, fireflies, pythons and luminous mushrooms. And there's nothing like waking to the call of birds and the village rooster.

I had been looking forward to the excursion as I've always wanted to cycle around Ubin for an entire day, exploring her many mysteries. Our team arrived in the afternoon. After walking a fairly long distance, we pitched our tents at the camping area and began cooking dinner. It was a very fun experience to cook in the wild as we were stripped of our daily conveniences. Making full use of the basic necessities we have, we put together a decent meal and most of us enjoyed the food. I believe it was the experiences we went through together that day, which made the meal taste extremely sumptuous. Later in the night, we had fun playing games, lighting up the sparklers as well as chatting with one another. Before we knew it, the sun has risen above the horizon and shortly after, we broke camp and returned to mainland Singapore.
