We list six grounds in Lopburi, with more variety than the number suggests: the shore of Pasak Jolasid reservoir, a clifftop ground in Sap Langka Wildlife Sanctuary, the blue waterfall at Wang Kan Lueang Arboretum, and a reservoir-side camp near the city.
Fees run ฿30–200 per person per night: ฿30 at the state-run sites, about ฿100–200 at private camps. Every ground has toilets and eight in ten have showers, but only a third have electricity.

Pasak Jolasid has the dam's own ground and a private lakeside camp people call the New Zealand of Thailand — green grassland by the water, with cycling and birdwatching. Pha Song Tawan in Lam Sonthi district is a clifftop ground inside Sap Langka Wildlife Sanctuary, for sunrise over the valley. Wang Kan Lueang is a limestone waterfall with clear blue water where you can pitch and swim, and near the city there is a camp on Sap Lek reservoir.
November to January is Lopburi's season: the sunflower fields around Pasak reservoir bloom, the air is cool and the sky is clear, and Pha Song Tawan may have mist in the valley. Wang Kan Lueang runs for most of the year because it is spring-fed, so it works in the dry season too. The hot season is very hot and dry — the waterside grounds are more comfortable than the cliff.
The wildlife sanctuary ground is a conservation area: follow the rangers' rules and get in touch beforehand. Most grounds have no electricity and only one of the six has a restaurant, so bring lighting and food. Half rent gear. Lopburi is two to three hours from Bangkok, depending on the zone.
About ฿30 per person at state-run sites; around ฿100–200 per person per night at private camps.
Around November to January; fields flower at different times, so check before you go.
Yes — at Wang Kan Lueang Arboretum you camp near the falls and can swim, and so can you at some lakeside camps on Pasak reservoir.
