5 Stars for the staff This accomodation was booked by the travel agency, which organized our Sri Lanka trip. It turned out to be one of our favourite stays. The tree house had a terrace, where we could watch animals (monkeys, peacocks, birds, ect) but also lay down and have a nap. The Camp also has a river to take a bath. The staff needs special thanks as they were also just SO KIND and took care of us like no other accomodation/team throughout our whole Sri Lanka trip. Clear recommendation! 🙂

Perfect for relaxing and enjoying. We found a truly extraordinary location here. Lovingly furnished accommodation in the middle of nature with fantastic food and, last but not least, a great and committed host. We'd love to come back. Thank you Graham. ♥️

An extraordinary place and a green oasis. Excellent local food, beautiful huts to sleep in surrounded by nature, natural rock pools to swim in, an open area overlooking the river to do yoga, hiking to Bakers Bend and swimming in a private waterfall. Plus Graham as an excellent host and his entire team who looked after us wonderfully at all times. We were delighted and will definitely come back. Our highlight on the Sri Lanka tour.

Tranquil Retreat Loved every minute of it! Breath-taking setting, right in the heart untouched nature. The place was so peaceful with waterfalls, secret pools, tree houses and stunning scenery. Our room was super cosy and opened out to gorgeous views of the forest. The food was tasty and fresh and Graham and his team really looked after us. Cannot wait to come back and spend more time exploring!

Never been anywhere like this before! Never been anywhere like this before! Feels remote enough that you can relax and disconnect, but actually easy enough to get to. Incredible home cooked food (best kiri hodi I've ever had!) and the room was so comfortable, with the most incredible views to wake up to. We were already planning our return whilst we were there, wish we'd gone for at least 2 nights instead of just 1. 100% recommended!

Unique ! Fantastically beautiful! The chalets have no doors or windows, so you sleep and wake up to the sounds of nature. Graham and his team take great care of their guests. Despite the rain, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you very much!

Serenity Absolutely loved the stay at Forestry Camps. Beautiful property right next to Belihuloya River. Graham and the team was excellent in looking after us. Hidden gem of a place in Sri Lanka. A very relaxing experience.

A Tranquil Escape into Nature at Forestry Camps During my recent stay at Forestry Camps, I was treated to an experience that can only be described as a harmonious blend of nature's serenity and modern comfort. Nestled in an expansive forest, the camp offers an escape from the relentless pace of daily life, inviting guests into a world where the only backdrop is the lush greenery and the soothing symphonies of the woodland. The river baths were a highlight of our stay, offering a refreshing and invigorating retreat that stood in stark contrast to the standard hotel pool experience. There's something genuinely peaceful about being surrounded by the natural beauty of the forest while enjoying the cool, gentle flow of the river.

Good Vibes Retreat It was nice to be fully immersed in nature. Attention to detail was excellent. The freshness of ingredients and produce was the best I’ve seen. I would recommend the forestry camps to anyone seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC. Is all I can say.

It was my birthday trip going to Forestry Camps. Its location, Its nature, and Its concept are just astonishing. The owner, Graham, went to great lengths to make sure we were looked after well. The rooms are super unique. A complete open concept, with no walls; Which makes it even more magical. We've spent a large amount of time on the river (which is on the property) fresh and cold water straight from the mountain range. We were also taken to a waterfall. Completely hidden away. What a gem. We swam and relaxed there for an entire day. Lunch was brought to us. Local food at Forestry was one of the best I've had. Waiting to come back.

What an amazing place. Visited with a friend - planned only for a night but stayed 2 because this place has so much to offer. The camp with its wooden cabins with private bathrooms are located in the middle of nature. The landscape and views - a bath in the river close to the camp. Just breathtaking. Delicious food - mostly grown in their own garden.
Exceptional service by Graham and his team.
If you want to experience a hidden gem, which is still kinda unknown - book now. Won’t take long until this place will be well known and booked out for weeks/months.

Great place, a little isolated, very far from the hustle and bustle of cities.
We were told about "cabins" which are in fact very romantic rooms open to the outside with all the comforts.
You will fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of nature.
The reception is very friendly, and the owner is very friendly and efficient.
Excellent and plentiful food.
Very nice experience!

Photos and words don't do justice to this magical place. I arrived and thought ok maybe I made it to heaven (but I'm glad I'm still on earth).
@theforestrycamps has everything your jungle-hideaway dreams are made of. Our room was tucked away amid the greenery overlooking the rabbit rock. You literally sleep and wake up to the sound of flowing rivers and chirping birds (to having no walls!) We spent our time sipping (or chugging) beer and whiskey in a couple of natural pools of waterfall and rivers while doctor fish cleaned our feet and shiny butterflies chilled on our shoulders. Oh, and the food prepared by a family in their village = explosion of tastes. Thank you Graham for your incredible hospitality!
