The place is the very good and the staff there especially Pandurang kaka and Krishna both are very welcomeing and accommodating. One thing I think everyone should know is that to reach there you have to take a taxi from kasara station, so when you get down at kasara station write outside the station you my find lot of taxi guys who would insist that you go with them and in order to reach the camp side that is bhavali dam, you will need to do a special taxi which will cost about 1k. But don't fall for it, instead walk a little bit ahead you will find other taxes which I on sharing basis and ask them to drop you to igatpuri highway. And they will only charge 70 rupees for it. Once you are at the highway just take an auto to the village that sharing auto or a Omni van would cost only 20 rupees. After which you will have to walk through the village for give it take 10 minutes. And you will reach the camp. This way you get to socialize and make some contacts with the local for your next trip and also get to walk through a nice village and at the same time same of about 900 rupees. I did not know about this that's why I ended up giving about 900 rupees to the taxi guy for one way trip. I hope this helps you. Besides this there is also a facility of swimming they have life jackets too,

The overall experience was awesome as the weather was good and due to heavy rains it was only us who could make it to the location so we had the entire place to ourselves. Food was awesome but the quantity was less as compared to our past camping experience. The location is heavenly and was a cure for my insomniac as I slept like a baby amidst the soothing and calming sound of nature (a perfect lullaby for all ages). I hope the latrine situation was a little better and found the toilet to be very small and uncomfortable (It was super clean though). We have already planned another visit to the same camp at the break of winter this year and hope by then everything else will be sorted and done up.
