best laid plans
As it turns out, we did an inadequate planning job for this part of our trip. Big Game is a tent complex intended to combine lodging and "safari" activity. We had arranged the latter separately at a different venue, and looked to Big Game as a fun lodging alternative. While it offered much more luxury (e.g., bathrooms, some electricity) than might be expected while camping, it wasn't exactly plush, and with the additional complication of heavy rain, the overall experience was less than ideal. There seemed to be some confusion about our reservation (two tents), as Big Game was initially unprepared for the two children in our party. Staff was gracious and anxious to accommodate, but little hitches caused some unnecessary confusion. We spoke with other guests who seemed to confirm that a more comprehensive plan on our part would have produced a better experience. At the same time -- a number of nights in a tent during the rainy season is very different from the same nights in a hotel room.

Great staff, but By no means luxury
Was not a luxury camping experience as advertised, more tent with a toilet and that’s about it. Fan hardly worked and the room was filled with creatures. Toilet area stunk as there was no trap to waste to keep smells out. Shower didn’t work, but as a plumber I managed to fix it, was clogged with gunk in shower head. Food in the evening could have been excellent as setting was great surrounded by fire, but unfortunately the food was cold and pretty average for the price paid. Safari was the highlight but you can get a taxi to the park entrance and save yourself a lot of money. The staff was great, shame the rest was poor

Nature stay
Beautiful camping stay. Take all the contacts possible if you travel to this place independently as it is not easy to find. Suggest asking for assistance on how to get there from the hotel before you go. Food was excellent, tents very good as well, staff very polite and helpful.

Great stay! Excellent staff and service. We had a beautiful dinner on the property at night. We arrived very late at night and the staff we very accommodating towards us, they scheduled a slightly later safari so we could sleep in.

Fantastic camping experience
The Big Game camp was everything we expected, quality Glamping. The staff are extremely accomodating and will help with any requirements you may have. The traditional Sri Lanka meals, breakfast lunch and dinner are as good as the restaurants we've eaten at, very very good. Dinner starts around a fire pit, and the moves to a romantic table for two under the stars near one of the big central park trees. It's great to star gaze in a country environment where there is so little surrounding light. If you're looking for a glamping experience I'd highly recommend staying, but recommend you try to stay in an off peak period. Over Christmas it could get pretty busy.

ENDED UP NOT STAYING!
Arrived via our hired driver with my partner and nephew. The person in charge greeted us and said you should have called. I said I did not understand that we needed to as it was already paid. He said you have three people? I said that is what I reserved through Expedia. The staff hurried to get us drinks then placed us in chairs in a make shift pavilion to go over the facility guidelines. He (the leader) stated that there is no tent for our driver and I would have to pay for him to stay at a hotel outside the camp. After he exhibited a pompous attitude, we decided to eat the cash and leave. Was very uncomfortable with his attitude. We are VERY easy going travelers but he made us feel unwelcome.
