We were one of the families that had the misfortune to visit this lovely park the same weekend as y K review and have to say that we felt threatened to the point of having to call management at 11.30 pm. We had your spotlight pointed directly at us and lemons and other projectiles thrown at our family all because we politely asked for you to turn your music down. When the manager come over you became threatening and aggressive towards her to the point the police were called. She advised you to call it a night and go to bed and leave the park in the morning as you were clearly drunk. You continued to be abusive towards us and other guests while packing up and driving out of the park intoxicated. Once the police had arrived you had parked up out the front of the park and gone to bed thankfully. Your account does not in anyway reflect the events and how threatened we felt but appreciate the manager quickly responding to our late night call so we could enjoy the rest of our stay.

Last week, our whole family stayed here, using both a caravan site and a glamping tent. We had a wonderful experience. The natural surroundings were beautiful, and the location was very convenient. We were a little worried after reading some of the reviews, but the toilets were well maintained, and the showers always had plenty of hot water. We also had a lovely chat with Kim at reception. She was incredibly kind and warm, and her friendly service made us feel very welcome. Our family will definitely be back for our next holiday, and we will happily recommend this place to our friends.

We had an amazing stay in Bangalore! The place was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and felt just like a home away from home. The weather was beautiful, and the warm, cozy atmosphere inside made our stay even more relaxing. Everything was well maintained, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Bangalore. We would definitely love to stay here again! 😊
