Calm water of Pawna lake fills this place with serene peaceful atmosphere. One who loves reading and drinking this is ultimate. But don't forget to carry your favorite drink because nothing available in this village. Cool breeze from lake is to die for. Food made by locals can be let down. Toilet are ok type. One can combine this with Tikona fort trekking. Don't forget to bring fishing tackle to catch 🐟.

Thank you for sharing your insights about your visit to Pawna Lake! It sounds like you had a tranquil and peaceful experience surrounded by the calm waters of the lake. Your description of enjoying a good book and a drink in such a serene atmosphere is truly inviting. It's a great tip to bring your own drinks, as the village might not have a wide selection available. The refreshing breeze from the lake sounds delightful, and your suggestion to combine the trip with Tikona Fort trekking is a fantastic idea for an adventure.

Don't book your tent here if you want to save your mood and weekend from spoiling. these people are cheater who take half amount as advance and then run away, now you do whatever you can do .
they are complete cheaters they will promise you in very structured and professional way that what all they are providing but thats where the trap waiting for you. they will ask yout to deposit the half amount and then you are gone. once you reach the camp site the location and camp will be diffrent than what you were shown in pics and promised. you will call for this and spoil your 30 mins but no use, either you choose to go back and loose your 50% money or compromise. story does not end here, you will get tent with thermocol thin paper as bed and no cushion or bed , bring cushion and bed with you. their dinner,BBQ is such that you will sleep without eating. better pack a dabba from home before going. after all this you wont like to pay the remaining half due or you will look for reasonable amount to pay as you had bad tent location, tent , food service but no you have to pay the full. they will take the money forcebly.
so my suggestion, if you are looking at google review then hold on , all 5 star reviews are from their own people. better ask some friends where they have stayed and go to same place or choose some trustable sites to book but never book directly by paying anything in advance. if someone ready to book without asking for money in advance then book there, go and see if satisfied stay or look some toher tent as there are many around that area, negotiate and enjoy.
but avoid this "Pawna Tents Camping" at any cost you will thank me later

Most pathetic experience!! Unhealthy for human beings!

Wish there was a way to give them ratings in negative, unfortunately I have to give them 1 star!
So I went here for New Year’s Eve with my husband a bunch of friends! The music was so loud that my ears were not just hurting but I had to check frequently to see if it’s bleeding. We requested multiple times to the organisers and Dj to lower the volume, however they were too drunk to take any instructions! On top of it the songs they played was something, none of us had ever heard our entire life, it was a the most torturous 4-5 hours of my life! I kept praying to the almighty to save my eardrums ….

Next, food! Well we got paneer chilli for starters after many reminders that we gave to the organisers! It was cold and pathetic but… but… after eating the so called main course I would still rate the paneer chilli high! In main course we got mattar paneer made in water, chapatis bigger than the size of 4 palms put together and lentils literally floating in water with rice! I still can’t believe I did this to my self on the last of the year which is suppose to be a celebratory day!
Yes, there was jalebi also, which gave me some sugar rush and I felt alive!

Bad condition of the washroom, tent, behaviour of the organisers is something which I will not even get into because that compared to food and music torture that looked better! Early morning we left without even waiting for their breakfast because we knew it would be a disaster too!

Highly unrecommended place, unhygienic, unhealthy and traumatic experience…

P.S. The name was Pawan Farma through which we booked!

A joyful experience visiting this lovely place for Camping was just mesmerizing..
Lonavala is one the best place to go for holidays in Maharashtra and if you are in lonavala then why not go for Pawna lake to explore the scenery all around. You can do night camping in pawna lake with your friends and family to witness this amazing place, there are many site seeings and a beautiful lake to sit and feel the view in a relax mode.

It was a pathetic experience in Pawna Lake camping. Most pathetic. The organizers were pathetic. They didn't know how to control a crowd. People were drunk and played music till 4 am in the morning. Even after repeated requests to lower the volumes they didn't listen. I can say here one thing, most people of India do not know how to respect others . They do not have the basic civic sense. Though most of us are educated, However, we do not know how to respect others. There was a 9-year-old kid with us. Who was up the entire night due to the music even after requesting them they didn't listen These educated (Uneducated) people thought drinking, playing loud music, and shouting and hooting the entire night, by disturbing others would make them happy. Thus Pawna Camping and I am sure all other camping sites near Pawna Lake are all equally worst.

Someone rightly said, They do not deserve a single star as well.
Very Unsafe, Very Dangerous and Very Unpleasant. Specially for families and couples.
Never ever go for camping, special with pawnatents.com.
Boozing is allowed here and there seems no safety and anything can happen here.
No peace, No fun. disturbance all over. We returned back the same night. We were lucky that we had our own vehicle

We were a group of 8 college friends, and got amazing rates from Thrillophilia, as compared with other travel platforms. We made the plan in the morning of Saturday (last minute plans), and immediately booked space for 8 tickets.

We left around 12 from Mumbai, and it took us a good 3 and a half hours to reach our campsite.
It was raining cats and dogs when we reached, however the organizers had everything arranged so well, from camps to the eating area to activities corner. Good food and good arrangements - must say! The night was well spent with music, a little alcohol and games. The next morning, we went for a quick swimin in the lake, and it was cray good! Cheers to us and these guys for accommodating us at the last minute.
