Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village

Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village

Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village (English: Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village) is a camping facility operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong. It is located in the eastern part of Shau Kei Wan on Hong Kong Island, facing Lei Yue Mun, covering an area of 22.97 hectares, and is the only holiday village within the urban areas of Hong Kong (Hong Kong Island and Kowloon).

The site of Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village was formerly the Lei Yue Mun Barracks. The barracks were decommissioned in 1986, with its southern part converted into a park and holiday village, which opened in 1988. The central area is occupied by the Island Eastern Corridor, while the northern part remained vacant until it was transformed into the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence in 2000.

Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village has a total of 4 family lodges and 2 group lodges, all equipped with balconies, bedrooms, and washrooms with shower facilities, accommodating up to 282 people. Buildings are scattered across different parts of the hillside and connected by pedestrian pathways. Some buildings are accessible only via one-way vehicle access roads; advance application to the programmes team is required for vehicle entry.

Although the park was repurposed from a military barracks, not all structures have been renovated. For instance, Building 8, located behind the coffee kiosk (Building 7) and connected to it by a passageway, has been designated as Zone 0 (though visitors can open the unlocked fence and access it via the drainage channel). Another unnumbered building, situated diagonally opposite the restaurant of Building 4, is also enclosed by barbed wire; visitors must climb up the rocky slope and then over the fence to enter. A locked gate blocks the road near the Lei Yue Mun Riding School; according to maps, the road extends all the way to the waterfront and crosses the Island Eastern Corridor via an overpass.

The holiday village offers three types of camping programs for groups of three or more: Day Camp (check-in at 9:30 AM, check-out at 4:30 PM), Overnight Camp (check-in at 2:30 PM, check-out at 1:00 PM on departure day; maximum consecutive booking of 4 nights), and Twilight Camp (check-in at 4:30 PM, check-out at 10:30 PM).
