Camping is one such experience where the soul gets rejuvenated and relaxed amidst the wonderful nature. It is open in all seasons and is for people of all age groups. Camping in monsoons provides a perfect retreat.

Camping at Pawna Lake is really popular and attracts a lot of corporate groups and young groups as well. Tents are placed around the periphery of the lake and one can enjoy their meals and recreational activities on the waterfront.
