About!

Welcome to Backwoods Camp, nestled in the heart of Surla, Goa, where nature takes center stage. Our camp is a sanctuary for nature lovers, surrounded by lush, dense forests that are home to an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Whether you’re a birdwatcher, a wildlife enthusiast, or someone simply seeking peace in the great outdoors, Backwoods offers the perfect retreat.

Our accommodations are simple yet comfortable, designed to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. The food, while humble, is freshly prepared and packed with flavor—nourishing both body and soul. But the true charm of Backwoods lies in the breathtaking natural beauty that envelops you at every turn.

Guests often leave with memories of serene moments in the wild, and we pride ourselves on offering a personalized experience. Many visitors, like those who’ve recently stayed with us, rave about our excellent birding opportunities, the warm hospitality of our team, and the memorable moments created in this extraordinary location.

A special thank you to Loven & Sandeep, who went above and beyond to help our guests spot the elusive Sri Lankan frogmouths, and to Rupa & Sukhandi for their dedication to ensuring everything behind the scenes—from meals to housekeeping—runs smoothly.

Come, unwind, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of Backwoods Goa. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
