Beautiful site. Lots of peacocks. This is a nice area that is family friendly. You can view wildlife and there are paved roads to drive. Lots of little areas to explore and not overly busy either. The area is very well kept

This place saved us when we realized we couldn't do car camping almost anywhere else 😬 there's a public bathroom and interior shower too, which is apparently rare to find in other campings. Be careful though, the gates really do close from like 7:45pm to 7am, so plan your activities accordingly (or park in front of the gate if you need to arrive late/leave early)
