Lake Camp at Elephant Hills
Off grid in Khao Sok
Embrace the lake-meets-jungle vibes at this unforgettable floating camp which you can experience as part of a multi-day Elephant Hills Jungle & Lake Safari. t
From the moment you step on the traditional long boat at the edge of Cheow-Larn Lake, you know you’re in for an incredible experience. The Khao Sok backdrops get more and more mesmerising the closer you get to this floating heaven and the off-grid vibe really sets in as you are dropped off for 24 hours of back-to-nature wonders (for guests on the Jungle & Lake Safaris). There’s time for lake swimming, canoeing and paddleboarding before lunch – what a way to get settled in.
Meals are served buffet style in the communal dining area; the dishes are full of flavour and there’s a real mix of Thai and Western. Day guests will have more time to get out on or in the water before they leave, while overnighters can take the boat across for an uphill hike through the jungle to an incredible cave (included but optional). The following morning begins slowly before you head out on a canoe safari and return for lunch and your boat trip back.
Why we love Lake Camp at Elephant Hills
-
There are three- and four-day Elephant Hills Jungle & Lake Safaris which feature an overnight stay at the Lake Camp; you can also visit the camp for the afternoon on three- and four-day Jungle Safaris.
-
There are canoes and stand-up paddleboards to use between included activities; alternatively, take a cooling dip in the lake right from your terrace.
-
If you’re staying here overnight, a jungle hike and guided (but self-paddled) canoe tour along the lake’s edge and narrow side channels are included.
-
The camp is truly off grid – they use wind and solar power (be prepared for limited access to electricity here) and there’s no Wi-Fi or televisions. But no worries, nature puts on the show.
Facilities
Jungle Hike
Included on the 3- and 4- Jungle & Lake Safaris
Jump back on the long tail boat which will whisk you across the water to the head of a rainforest trail. Local guides will join your group and guide, and you’ll all ascend steeply through the trees to a cooling cave before retracing your steps back to the lake shore.
Guided canoeing
Included on the 3- and 4- Jungle & Lake Safaris
You and your group and guide will grab some canoes and head off northwards from the camp. The lake narrows here there are a network of side channels that you can dip in and out of, looking for waterside wildlife.
Watersports & swimming
Included on the 3- and 4-day Jungle Safaris and the 3- and 4-day Jungle & Lake Safaris
There are canoes and stand-up paddleboards that you can take out into dedicated area in front of the camp. They are free to use between activities – just grab your life jacket and off you go.
This is the sort of place where memories are made as a family with no outside distractions. Nothing beats swimming off your terrace together, grabbing some canoes or paddleboards and messing about on the water or playing card games in the evenings.
Just like the Jungle Camp, the tents can be set up with an extra trundle-style bed, and each tent can accommodate two adults and two kids. For more space and family harmony for two kids and two adults, we recommend booking two tents and each parent sharing with a child. Children 7 years and older are welcome at the Lake Camp.
