Camping Overview

Delhi's Closest Overnight Camping Escape

Wake up to birdsong and the mist rising off the lake — no long drives, no complex planning.

Damdama Lake sits inside a protected Aravalli belt in Gurugram district, just 55 km south of Delhi. It is easily the closest genuine outdoor-camping destination for anyone in Delhi NCR who wants a real overnight experience — actual tents, a real bonfire, star-lit skies, and morning tea by the water — without spending eight hours on the highway. In under 90 minutes from Connaught Place you're checking into your tent, cool Aravalli breeze on your face, and by evening you're roasting marshmallows around a crackling fire.

Our camps are pitched inside a fenced, guarded green zone along the lake's western bank. There are three ways to sleep: Dome Tents for solo travellers and student groups (shared washrooms, most affordable), Swiss Cottage Tents for couples and families (attached washroom, real beds, electricity), and Luxury Glamping Cottages for premium weekends (king bed, AC, private deck). All camps share the same central bonfire lawn, dining shamiana, activity zone and lake access — you pick the sleep experience that fits your budget and comfort.

A standard overnight package covers evening tea + snacks on arrival, welcome drink, all 20+ adventure activities (kayaking, Burma Bridge, archery, rifle shooting, ATV, zip line, cycling and more), an unlimited BBQ dinner with veg + non-veg options, live music or DJ, community bonfire till midnight, tent stay, morning bed-tea, breakfast and a leisurely lake-side check-out. Add-on Add-on options include private bonfire, cake surprise, romantic in-tent candlelight dinner, professional photographer, in-tent floral décor and a sunrise trek to Mangar Bani.

Camping at Damdama is safe, family-friendly, and works for every group — solo backpackers, honeymooning couples, family weekends, college friend circles, and 100+ pax corporate offsites. Security guards patrol the campsite through the night, first-aid is on-site 24×7, and Sohna Civil Hospital is a 12 km ambulance ride away. Book online, arrive by car / cab / bike, park free and step straight into your weekend.
