Arcadia Backpackers & Water Park

Kampot


One of Kampot's great backpacker party scenes, riverside Arcadia organises riverboat pub crawls and offers a wide range of accommodation, from large, mixed dorms by the bar to quiet, private doubles by the water. Guests get free entry to the water park, which includes a Russian swing, a 50m water slide, a climbing wall, a diving platform and a zipline.

Those who only wish to visit the water park can do so for US$7.
