About the campsite
With Ooty becoming utterly commercial, the hill town is flocked by hoards of tourists throughout the year. Camping in Ooty is the best option if you want to experience the wilderness & untouched side of Nilgiris.

For people unfamiliar, Ooty - The queen of hill stations is a popular hill retreat located in Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu. The town of Ooty sits right the heart of Nilgiris Bioreserve in the western ghats - one of the most important biodiversity hotspots of the world.

Ooty is surrounded by dense, lush green sholas (native forests), wildlife reserves & numerous waterbodies. Most of the these are offlimits to tourists in an effort to protect it's rich flora & fauna and the fragile ecosystem. With mainstream tourism choking the eco system, Ooty is slowly reinventing itself to become one of the sought after destinations for eco-tourism, tent camping & trekking.

Exoticamp's Misty Ooty Camping stay is set amidst a sprawling private tea estate. Located in the Eastern slope of the Western Ghats; our tent stay in Ooty offers a breathtaking, bird's eye view of Moyar Valley, Rangaswamy Peak & Bhavani Sagar Dam. The tents are set on plantation slopes ensuring a panoramic view throughout your stay - making this the best hilltop camping in ooty

You could spend your day with a cup of tea, reading a book or listening to your favorite melody while you appreciate the breathtaking view. You could also trek up to a couple of nearby peaks to get awe inspiring cloud-filled valley views. Very little light pollution around the campsite also makes up for a wonderful stargazing experience. Download Sky-map / Sky view app & indulge in some self-taught stargazing.

The campsite enjoys great weather throughout the year, with occasional mist drifting in and out of the campsite. With Satyamangalam Reserve Forest in the vicinity the chances of spotting native wildlife is always there. The place is also fantastic for bird spotting.

This was my first time camping with Exoticamp. I have been following their Instagram page for a while and wanted to go on an adventure. I am so glad I chose this Misty Ooty package. It was so much fun, adventurous, and at the same time super relaxing. The hostess and the staff were all great. Overall such a fun experience!

Living in the hustle and bustle of Chennai traffic can be tiresome. Thanks to exoticamp I got the chance to get away from the mundane and enjoy two days of adventure and fun. The memories and the people I met with are gonna stay with me forever. As a solo traveller I felt at ease and enjoyed the most of what this trip had to offer. I am really glad for the split second decison I made because I have innumerable memories that I will never part with. I would recommend this is to any traveller who enjoys thrilling hikes and spectacular views. And thanks to Lakshmi Narayanan and Gayathri for hosting us.

This is my first camping experience. It was awesome. Quality food served. Quality time spent. Very much enjoyed without any gaps. We had fun activities, trekking to least explored yet safe place, refreshments whenever needed, gaming session, dance. On top of everything, we enjoyed a lot at campfire. Sam was full of energy and talked about every topic that popped out. Chandru enhanced the natural beauty with his lens.
