Campsites in Ella

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!

This was a highlight of our trip in Sri Lanka. The camping is a unique experience with incredible views. Wake up to the sunrise from your bed! The accommodation and bathroom facilities are spotlessly clean and comfortable. Home cooked delicious meals, breakfasts, curries and bbq made with love, all eaten while overlooking the spectacular view. We enjoyed the evening bonfiire chats under the stars meeting fellow travellers. You will be warmly welcomed here by Viraj, Hiran and their kind family. Viraj arranged and guided us on a spectacular waterfall hike, took us shopping in Haputale and we enjoyed a fabulous cooking class with his mother. Jam packed adventure with great hosts. Viraj is very knowledgeable and super helpful.. Highly recommended! Thank you Viraj and Hiran.
