"Even its only 50-60 KM away from Jakarta, but it takes hours to get there. You can go there bu car or motorcycle. A long the way to Rawa Gede you will see many beautiful landscape actualy. But… you have to make sure that your vehicle is in a perfect condition. And…. no celular conection there, but you can pay a wifi conection with very-very unstable connection.
Place : quite challenging to find. There are many ways to get there.
Ambient : very nice ambient, good air, nice view
Food : you can find many small resto (warung) selling food & beverages. But… are you really want to eat there? Its camping ground men, lets cook for ourself.
Parking : a lot of parking place, no need to worry
A place to sleep : use tent… come on… its camping ground
No camp without camp fire. But make sure that the fire is off when you leave it.
Water can be an issue here since I’am a bit surprise when i go to free public bathroom, there are no water there. Then i have to use other public bathroom and i have to pay 2000 per use. Still cheap but it is a little bit far.
Overall, the local government has to improve many things here in Rawa Gede. It has a good potential for tourism but the support infrastructure is not that good.
Oo.. by the way I don’t feel any spooky feeling there but in the middle of the night there are 2 young lady was possessed."
