Camp Forktail Creek - Accomodation

Accomodation - Mud Huts

Camp Forktail Creek has eight spacious mud huts. Locally made from mud

taken from the Camp itself, they have thick, pure mud walls and large

windows to retain light and heat.

Each hut has a private verandah or a sun room and a fully functional

toilet, with hot water on tap. Some huts have thick thatched roofs and

the others, tiled roofs; the tiles being sourced from Mahila Umang Samiti, a

local organisation that aims to promote and sustain a growing network of

hill women.

The huts are comfortably furnished with furniture made of waste wood and

painted with used Mobil oil (this not only looks attractive but keeps the

termites away!)

Each hut has twin or double beds with soft and warm duvets, side tables,

a chest of drawers with a dressing mirror, a luggage rack or table, some

lounge seating and deck chairs for the verandah. Some huts also have a

shower, a writing table and large sofas that could convert by night into

extra beds- making them ideal for a family of four.

All the huts are well spaced out to allow for maximum peace, quiet and

privacy for guests.

Thanks to the Camp’s efforts at replacing Lantana Camara (an invasive

weed introduced in the 1800’s) with indigenous forest trees and grasslands

- guests can look forward to seeing many interesting visitors from the

jungle from the comfort of their verandahs!
