  One of the great places to stay if you visit this part of Knuckles. There is a nice small dormitory hidden in the forest and the camp site is located at the edge of a mountain slope with nice, scenic backdrop. There is also a nice natural pool with a small waterfall. These are located about 2km from the Knuckles Conservation Center at Deanston. You can take public transport up to the conservation center (Hunnasgiriya-Loolwatta bus). It is also possible to drive an ordinary car up to the conservation center. A 4WD can make it all the way up to the dormitory. Both dormitory and camp site can accommodate about 10-12 people in each. They are just 100m apart. Just as any other forest department facility, you get the service of a cook if you reserve the dormitory. You have to go to the forest department head office at Rajamalwatta Mawatha, Battaramulla to make reservations. Please make sure to carry enough kerosene oil and lanterns, because you are entirely depending on it and there is no electricity available for nearly 2.5KM. When you need to charge you phones and Cameras you can head back to deanston (2.5Km + from campsite) and get it charged. We were impressed after seeing the camp site. Forest Dept has done a great job creating the camp site. There were two camping ground which had cement foundation. Yet we had some leach bites… If you are planning to do camping in the rainy season and afraid of leach bites better be prepared. (Picture Above) I like knuckles camp site because it is located in a unique location and have all the camping facilities needed. Most of All it features 2 Toilets 1 is on the camp site and the other one around 750M away next to Dothalugala Cabin. Also it has pure water source which is drinkable unlike Horton plains. When we camped there the temperature was 13 Celsius at night and 17 Celsius during the daytime.
