History
In the early 1970s Ibu Tien Soeharto proposed turning part of a large rubber estate here into a campground for Indonesia's scouts (Pramuka). It opened for the 1973 Jambore Nasional and is managed by the national scout headquarters, Kwartir Nasional. Sources give its area as between 198 and 210 hectares; construction of the Jagorawi toll road separated it from the neighbouring Wiladatika park.
What to see and do
Walk or cycle the shaded tracks, rent a pedal boat on Danau Situbaru, try the flying fox and rope courses, or simply picnic on the big camping fields. The site has rentable tents of various sizes, sound systems and firewood, plus barracks, guesthouses and bungalows, football pitches and places of worship for several faiths.
Tips
Weekend mornings are lively with community exercise classes and food sellers; weekdays are quiet. Ticket prices above date from 2023–2024 reports and were still being quoted in 2026, so treat them as a guide. Bring insect repellent and water, and see our green escapes guide for nearby parks.
Getting there
The entrance is close to the Cibubur exit of the Jagorawi toll road. Grab or Gojek is easiest; Mikrotrans JAK 73 runs between Jambore Cibubur and Pasar Rebo.
Questions about Bumi Perkemahan Cibubur (Buperta)
How much is the entrance fee to Buperta Cibubur?
About Rp10,000 per person for general visitors and Rp5,000 for scouts, plus parking (prices reported 2023–2024, still quoted in 2026).
Can I camp at Buperta Cibubur without my own tent?
Yes. Tents and camping equipment can be hired on site; book via the official contact on buperta.id.
Is Buperta the same as Taman Wiladatika?
No. They were once one site, but the Jagorawi toll road split them; Wiladatika is a separate recreation park just inside Depok.
