What you need to know
Cam Son Lake spreads over an area of up to 3,000 hectares during the rainy season. It is surrounded by mountains and vast litchi orchards, making the scenery particularly photogenic. The area is inhabited by ethnic minorities (Tay, Nung, San Chi, Cao Lan) who preserve their traditional way of life. Visiting villages such as Dong Mam allows you to see traditional rammed-earth houses (trình tường) and experience local folk music.
Ideal time: comfortable temperature (22–28°C), high water level, lush green hills, and litchi harvest season.
