Tinangol Camp

LOCATION

Approximately 150km north of the state capital Kota Kinabalu, in the northwestern corner of Sabah. The journey from Kota Kinabalu takes around 3 hours by bus.

ACCOMMODATION

Capacity: Sleeps up to 20

The longhouse is divided into 5 sleeping rooms. Each single-sex room sleeps three to four people, using mattresses on a raised platform. Volunteers should bring their own mosquito net to ensure an insect free sleep, though other bedding is provided.

Kitchen & Dining: A well equipped kitchen staffed by local cooks who supply a daily menu of three delicious well balanced meals, all made from fresh local produce.  Food will be a mixture of Malaysian and western so it should cater for all tastes and preferences! We can cater for a variety of different dietary requirements so just let us know before you travel.

Toilets & Showers: Toilet and shower block located near the long house. Washrooms are separated into male and female. Toilets are traditional Asian style squat toilets.

Laundry: Small laundry area for volunteers to do their hand washing.

Social: The longhouse includes a large communal area along one side to gather plus a smaller seated entrance porch. There is also an external covered area next to the volleyball court.

Power Supply: The camp benefits from 24-hour mains electricity and UK standard 3-pin plug sockets.

Phone signal: Fair but intermittent.

Other Facilities: A small community run shop selling basic toiletries snacks and drinks was recently added to the camp, with all profits going straight back to community endeavours.

Security: Camp Tinangol has 24-hour security.
