Campsites in Badulla

There’s nothing like this place! It really is like camping in the sky. Comfortable tent very cosy, plenty of privacy, great bathroom facilities, incredible food, and warm vibes! The host did everything to make sure I was comfortable. I loved the location, but it does require some scenic walking along the rail track to get there - the tuk tuk can’t take you all the way. I would recommend walking from the Ella train station along the tracks so you don’t need a tuk tuk at all - it’s only 15 min walk - and it’s safe, many locals walk along it, you will hear any incoming train for a long time before you see it. The lovely host helped me carry my bags along the track. Easy walking distance from Ella town too. A really unique must-do experience. And it’s only a 10 min walk to the 9 arch bridge!

If you are looking for a gem off the beaten track, this would be it. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere just between rice fields, mountains and coconut trees. Very welcoming family who will take great care of you - showing you around the area, explaining about gardening and cook delicious food. Very peaceful and authentic spot in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend
