Planning a trip to Rishikesh will always involve a stretch of adventure sports and activities that are not only sought by adventure enthusiasts but also by visitors who like to take it slow and leisurely (we fall in the latter category). The place is the adventure capital of the mountains, relatively closer to the banks of the Ganga, and offers the best hill station experiences at the best prices. You can choose from a variety of adventures like treks, trails, rafting, climbing, and more. Our favourite activity of all has to be camping.

The camping experience allows waking up to the beautiful views of the misty mountains, with the sound of the gushing rivers adjacent to your stay, along with fun activities that help you bond with people from all walks of life. Check out the best camping places in Rishikesh for an experience that will probably become a core memory!

Camp Brook

A luxury camp in Rishikesh, Camp Brook offers a fun adventure with a touch of luxury, convenience, and comfort. It's a serene location in the middle of the hills, adjacent to a small river, and has a swimming pool within its premises. You can opt for fancy cottages or luxurious tents, with amenities like a clubhouse, play arena, conference hall, yoga hall, and multi-cuisine restaurant. We especially love that the place is pet-friendly. It's a great camping site to relax, unwind, and be close to nature.

Camp Jugnoo

For folks with a moderate budget to spend, Camp Jugnoo must be on your radar for an unforgettable experience. It's a perfect mix of budget and luxury, with a number of amenities and options of camps as well as cosy cottages. The location is slightly offbeat and is surrounded by mystical mountain views. The campsite also offers many fun activities and adventures, like zip-lining, bonfires, forest camping, and rafting. We would especially recommend this place for big groups of friends or even corporate field activities.

Wildex Camps

If you are looking for a camping experience closest to its traditional meaning, Wildex Camps should be your go-to. Located almost 14 km from Rishikesh, it overlaps the same area as the Rajaji National Park and involves a row of tents along the riverside sharing a backdrop of mesmerising mountains. They also offer activities like bonfires, music nights, rope climbing, rappelling, and outdoor sports like volleyball and badminton. It's based in a mainstream destination but is still away from the hustle-bustle, making it the perfect weekend getaway for solo travellers, couples and groups alike. 

Ganga Beach Camp

Ganga Beach Camp is another great camping site beside the majestic free-flowing Ganga. They have two locations, namely Riverside Camp and Riverside Cottage; the former includes a camping experience by the Ganga, with a picturesque view of the Himalayan range, and the latter involves an elevated stay in a cottage by the upper side of the river. Apart from this beautiful and comfortable experience, you can also book experiences like river rafting, kayaking, and zip lining. 

Nakshastra Resort/Camp

Nakshatra Resort is a luxury campsite, perfect for all who don't mind shelling out for a one-of-a-kind experience. It's a resort/campsite located on the foothills of a magnanimous mountain range overlooking River Heul. Your stay by the river will be as luxurious as a resort, completely hassle-free, and full of comfort. They've got beautiful open gardens, making it the perfect location for nature lovers looking for a leisure camping experience.

Aspen Camp

Aspen Camp is recognised as one of the best campsites in Rishikesh by the Ministry of Tourism of India. It's a five-star facility situated merely nine kilometres away from Laxmanjhulla. This grand property is spread across six acres, with 12 luxury cottages, open gardens, a swimming pool, and a multi-cuisine restaurant. This campsite is pet-friendly, so you don't have to leave your furry friends behind. 

Blue Jay Camps

A string of camps nestled on one of the highest points of Kunjapuri hills, this campsite will keep you close to all the major tourist attractions and famous dining spots of Rishikesh. They've got fun activities planned like starry night bonfires, and music nights. We'd say it's a great location for a traveller who is gonna stay there for a long time.

Rishikesh Camps

With 12 camping sites and 10 cottage sites in Shivpuri, Tapovan, Ghattu Ghat, Mogan Ghat, and Raja Ji National Park, this camping is another prime location for solo or budget travellers. The locations are surrounded by pristine views and lush greenery, with great amenities and packages for big groups or companies. You should definitely consider this one if you are looking for an offbeat stay that still offers all the mainstream activities and adventures.
