It was a true camp experience. Double occupancy in the tent was tight on space but doable. Staff was good, polite, attentive and friendly. Breakfast dinner was really basic. Toilet, bathrooms were clean enough and hot water buckets were available. Western toilet was provisioned. Got to meet people from around the world over the bon . Overall good experience.
Personally my favorite campsite i have ever been so far at Hornbill festival.Plus the Washroom is a plus point with the best facility.If you want a good view of the surroundings with a good ambience to chill out and a good washroom to spent sometime with yourself,book CampHornbill..
Good place to stay. May not be the best for some, but the courtesy of the staffs makes up for any shortcomings. Free WiFi and breakfast with a.c. Should carry warm clothing specially by the restless adventurer's, who are beckoned by the call of the wild. This may not be the cheapest accommodation but a nice getaways from the dusty environment to the lush country scenery. Worth a shot if your budget allows.
We stayed at Camp Hornbill recently as a group of 10 people during the hornbill festival. The only pros were location (20 min walk) and clean toilet/ shower facility hence 2 stars. Unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros. Here is a sampling - some people from the group reached before the others; they were denied access to the tents despite a long and tiring journey. Tents are setup in farming sites although the land is left as-is and no attempt has been made to flatten the land. We had rocks under our tent. When we asked for extra mattresses to make it comfortable these weren't delivered. It got cold the first night; when we asked for thick blankets which some tents had, we were given an excuse that those were reserved. Why do u need to reserve blankets?? While the food was decent; the place was understaffed and would often take an order but not complete it. Overall, a place with a lot of potential but managed poorly especially considering the cost.
Don't let the good location fool you. The tents are very substandard. You can actually feel the rocks under you in the tent. We were given just a thin sleeping bag to sleep in, inspite of having blankets (FYI - These blankets were only for Foreigners). So if you are Indian you would be given the most sub standard treatment. The toilets were clean but they just have 1 for men and 2 for women. Also, you have to pay Rs20 to get warm water to take shower.
Camp Hornbill is about 20 min walking distance from Kisama. The cleanliness of the camp was quite appreciable. Supporting staff were jovial and energetic. The location of the camp was impressive but the place where were placed, has raugh surface. Blanket or sleeping bag provided by the camp requires improvement. At the temperature of 3-4* C,these r not enough. The bonfire was awesome. Overall I may give the camp 3.8 out of 5
Perfect location in terms of distance and scenic views for the festival. The team and the staff are very friendly with special mention to Rahul led by Kaushik & Rakhi. Bonfires in the night with conversations are the best.
It's Amazing experience to fill the dignity of our country, Different groups from various parts of India... Really fabulous..... And vegetarian be careful .
