Wan Tsai West Campsite is one of the 41 campsites currently managed by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD).
It is a large campsite located within the Sai Kung West Country Park (Wan Tsai Extension) and is situated close to its sibling, the Wan Tsai South Campsite, roughly 10–15 minutes' walk away. The campsite is built on open flat grassland giving it a spacious environment, and it is well-equipped with barbeque pits, benches and tables, bathrooms, and flushing toilet facility with extra sinks for cleaning, making this a very popular campsite for beginners.
The site was originally a borrow area, where stones and sand were used in the construction of the Ma On Shan new town. After the borrow area ceased operations in the 90s, the peninsula was incorporated as an extension of the Sai Kung West Country Park, and the campsite was officially opened in 1996.
The Scout Association of Hong Kong has organized a Jamboree for all Hong Kong and international Scouts on the peninsula for a week between 1999 and 2000 to celebrate the beginning of a new millennium. Another Jamboree was held there in 2001 to celebrate 90 years of Hong Kong Scouting.
