Campsites around Kanchanaburi?

[coley]

Hi. Small group of us are heading to Kanchanaburi and surrounding area during Songkran on bikes. Anyone recommend good campsites there? We are heading for Srinakarin and across the lake in various places. I did a search on Google but not much help. I know that there are places in the national parks but no idea of capacity and chance of finding space. Other alternative is 'into the wild'. Worth doing that instead? Thanks in advance

Just before you cross the lake there is a big campsite on the edge of the National park. It's about 2km out to the ferry in the morning. will try find the link somewhere and put that on later.

There's a great thread on Thai campsites and parks. You might find the information here.

Not sure about a camp site but if you need a resort I would highly suggest the Tokyo Resort......Place is awesome!

Thanks guys for the responses. I was beginning to think that there were no 'happy campers' in the area. Will look into the leads. Thanks sabian, drift and Craig for your input so far. Its nice to have a shower sometimes lol

Janner - Have a look on booking.com and Agoda - there should be some on there with reviews. By the way, in my experience Agoda have always been cheaper.

Use Nong Bua Lam Phu for your search.

Many thanks socksy01 for your help.

I have looked on both sites you mentioned and got some info but it was all in Thai and no translation, I only made a cursory check but I will try again in more depth.
