Lakeside Camping in Bangalore

Bangalore’s true charm cannot be experienced merely from sitting in the confines of an apartment in the city, but camping across its lake is what actually gives a glimpse of it. For most people, lakeside camping in Bangalore isn’t just another vacation, it is an escape, which rejuvenates and refreshes their soul. 

The most acclaimed of the places for Bangalore lakeside camping is the Ramanagara lakeside region, which sits in the lap of the majestic Ramadevara Betta hills. These granite hills were the backdrop of the film Sholay, and as such carry an artistic context with it. This lakeside camp blends adventure like rock climbing, zip lining and kayaking, with activities that make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. 

Visitors also love to set bonfire and do camping at the Kanva Lake, which happens to be an artificial reservoir formed by the Kanva Dam. As the evening starts setting its foot, the camps start teeming with echoes of laughter, joy and excitement. Manchanabele Lake is another hotspot for campers, offering picturesque scenery of the Savandurga Hills in the background. It is also an attraction for birdwatchers, as it boasts richness in its bird species diversity. 

Lastly, the Savandurga Lake, set amidst the roaring Savandurga Hills, is one of the most exquisite places to visit near Bangalore. Camping here means enjoying a setting of uneven topography, with quirky monolithic rock formations in the backdrop. Whether a sudden gush of adrenaline is what you are seeking, or just to stretch your legs and relax, lakeside camping in Bangalore is a must try for you. Why wait, lace up your boots and get started with a journey that will give you surreal experiences.

A desperately needed respite from city life, Natureside Adventure Camping in Ramnagara provided The guided walk to Ramadevara Betta and the ziplining and rappelling adrenaline experience were much sought for. Mud volleyball and the rain zone helped to maintain the energy level. Finishing the evening with food, music, and stars was just incredible. Looking forward your return!

Nature, leisure, and quality time—this camping vacation provided all three. While we lounged in the peace of the lake view, the children delighted in the pool and zipline. Campfire under the sky was wonderful. Definitely advised for households!

I joined this camp alone and departed carrying a lot of new acquaintances. The squad bonded easily from the kayaking and mud volleyball activities. Two remarkable experiences were sky cycling and cave exploration. I wanted exactly the lake view and chilled-out BBQ supper. Thrillophilia managed all, including food and transportation. For someone yearning nature and adrenaline combined into one, this is the perfect quick escape from Bangalore.
