If you are searching for Alibaug beach camping that is easy to book, fairly priced and close to Mumbai and Pune, Revdanda Beach is where you should be looking. Our campsite sits a few steps from the Arabian Sea, around 115 km from Mumbai, and a single overnight stay covers your tent, dinner, bonfire and breakfast. This guide gives you the numbers you need to decide: what the package includes, what it costs, how to get there, when to go and how to confirm your dates. If you already know your date, head to our camping packages page and reserve your spot.
What You Get When You Book Alibaug Beach Camping at Revdanda
A good camping package should answer one question before you pay: what exactly am I getting? Here is how a standard overnight stay with us works, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
Tent and Bedding
Every group gets a weatherproof tent pitched on the sand near the water, shared by two or three people depending on the booking. Mattresses, blankets and pillows are provided, so you carry clothes and personal items, not sleeping gear. Couples can request a tent for two. Families with children usually take a three or four person arrangement so everyone sleeps in one place.
Food From Arrival to Checkout
Camping in Alibag works best when the food is sorted, because nobody wants to hunt for a restaurant at 10 pm. The package covers evening tea and snacks on arrival, a barbecue session around the fire, a full dinner and a hot breakfast the next morning. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are both available, and you should mention any allergies or dietary needs when you book so the kitchen can plan for you. For a closer look at the grill menu, read our guide to beach camping with BBQ in Alibaug.
Evening Setup
After sunset the camp comes alive. A bonfire is lit on the sand, music plays and there are group games for those who want them. Weekend and festival nights may include a DJ or a movie screening under the sky. If a party night is your priority, check the details on our Alibaug beach camping with DJ night page before choosing a date, since the format varies from night to night.
Facilities That Matter
Clean washrooms, a changing area, drinking water, phone charging points, parking and on-site staff are part of the stay. These sound minor until you are on a beach at midnight without them. We keep portable lighting around the tents and the walking paths, and the team stays on site through the night.
Alibaug Beach Camping Price: What You Pay and What Changes the Rate
Pricing is where most people hesitate, so here is the direct answer. Our standard overnight package starts at ₹999 per person. That figure covers the tent stay, meals and campfire setup described above. Your final amount depends on three things: the day of the week, the season and whether you add transport.
Weekday and Weekend Rates
Weekdays are the cheapest and the quietest. If your schedule is flexible, a Tuesday or Wednesday night gets you a calmer beach and the lowest rate. Saturday nights fill up fastest between November and February, and the weekend rate reflects that. Booking two to three weeks ahead usually secures both the date and the base price.
Long Weekends and New Year
Long weekends, Diwali week, Christmas and New Year carry a higher rate because demand is high and the event setup is bigger. If you want New Year camping at Revdanda, book as early as you can, because those dates tend to sell out well before the month begins. If you want a budget option, our ₹599 camping booking page lists the lighter format available on selected dates.
Transport Add-Ons
Prices above are for the stay only. If you want pickup from Alibaug, Mumbai or Pune, tell us when you book and we will quote it separately based on group size and distance. For groups of eight or more, a shared vehicle usually works out cheaper per head than individual taxis.
Why Most Campers Choose Revdanda Over Other Alibaug Beaches
Alibaug has several beaches, and each one suits a different trip. Knowing the difference saves you from booking the wrong one.
Revdanda Beach
Revdanda is long, open and uncrowded. The shoreline is wide enough that your camp does not feel squeezed between other groups, and the surrounding coconut groves give shade and a rural feel. It sits near the old Portuguese fort ruins and the historic Chaul region, which gives the trip something to explore beyond the sand. You can read the background on the area at Revdanda on Wikipedia. It is also known for being cleaner than most beaches in Alibaug, which matters when you are sleeping beside it.
Nagaon and Mandwa
Nagaon is closer to Alibaug town and busier, with water sports and a lively crowd. It suits groups that want activity over quiet. The trade-off is more foot traffic and a louder atmosphere at night.
Kashid and Murud
Kashid has lighter sand and clearer water, but it is further south and more developed, with heavier day-tripper traffic. Murud is known for the Janjira sea fort and works well as a day trip from Revdanda rather than as a camping base. If you are comparing options, our breakdown of the best beaches in Alibaug covers each one in more detail.
Camping in Alibaug: Which Plan Fits Your Group
The same beach works very differently depending on who you bring. Here is how to choose.
Couples
Ask for a private tent and book a weekday or a non-peak weekend. You get quiet evenings, a fire shared by fewer people and a proper sunrise walk. Couples who want music and a crowd should pick a Saturday instead.
Friends and College Groups
Groups of six to twenty get the best value. You can request a cluster of tents close together, a bigger fire circle and a games setup. Confirm your headcount at least three days before arrival so the food quantity and tent count are right.
Families With Children
Families should pick a calm night, avoid late DJ sessions and carry a few extras for kids, such as a torch, a light jacket and snacks they already like. Children enjoy the beach, the fire and the open space, and our team will help seat you away from loud areas. See our page on family friendly beach camping near Alibaug for what to expect with younger children.
Corporate Outings and Birthdays
Teams and celebration groups can request custom setups, from a private bonfire area to a cake and decoration arrangement. Share your date, headcount and preferences, and we will build a quote.
How to Reach the Camp From Mumbai and Pune
Revdanda is about 115 km from Mumbai and around 165 km from Pune by road. Both routes are straightforward, and the ferry option can cut the drive from Mumbai considerably.
From Mumbai by Ferry
The quickest option for foot passengers is a catamaran from the Gateway of India to Mandwa Jetty, which takes about an hour. From Mandwa you continue by bus, taxi or auto-rickshaw toward Alibaug and then on to Revdanda. If you carry a car or bike, the Ro-Ro service from Bhaucha Dhakka lets you take the vehicle across, and you can check live timings and fares with M2M Ferries. Passenger catamarans usually pause during the monsoon and resume after it ends, so confirm the schedule a day before travel.
From Mumbai by Road
If you prefer to drive, take the Atal Setu across the harbour, continue through Panvel and follow NH66 toward Pen and Roha, and then head to Revdanda. Expect roughly three hours on a normal day, longer on a Friday evening or a holiday weekend. Leaving before noon on Saturday avoids most of the traffic.
From Pune
Drive via the Tamhini or Mangaon route toward Roha and Revdanda, which takes around four hours depending on traffic and ghat conditions. If you are comparing trips from Pune, our guide to camping near Pune lists other options, though few offer a beach. For step by step directions with landmarks, use our how to reach page. Share your live location with the camp coordinator once you cross Roha, and they will guide you in.
Best Time for Alibaug Beach Camping
The camping season runs from October to May. The 2026 to 2027 season is just opening, which makes this a good week to lock in your dates.
November to February is the sweet spot. Evenings are cool, the sea is calm, skies are clear and the fire feels earned. March to May is warmer, with hot afternoons, but the nights are pleasant and prices are often softer. The monsoon, from June to September, is not a camping season here. The sea turns rough, beach access is restricted and ferry services are limited, so camps do not operate.
Before you finalise a date, check the coastal forecast on the India Meteorological Department website. A clear forecast and a low tide window around sunset make for the best evenings. We cover month by month conditions in our best time for Alibaug beach camping guide if you want more detail.
What a Night at the Campsite Actually Looks Like
Check-in begins around 4 pm. You reach the camp, receive a welcome drink and get shown to your tent. The next hour is yours to settle in, walk the shoreline and watch the light change. Evening tea and snacks arrive around 5 pm, and most guests catch the sunset from the sand.
After dark, the bonfire is lit and the barbecue starts. Games, music or a screening follow, depending on the night. Dinner is served in the open, and the evening stretches as long as your group wants it to. Most people drift to their tents between 11 pm and midnight.
Mornings are the part guests remember. The sea is calm, the beach is empty and the air is cool. Tea comes first, then breakfast. Checkout is around 10 or 11 am, which leaves time for a last walk before you leave. Many guests continue to the fort ruins before heading home.
What to Pack for Camping in Alibag
Pack light and pack for the evening, not the afternoon. Carry a light jacket or sweatshirt, since the sea breeze makes nights cooler than expected between November and February. Bring a change of clothes, a towel, sandals, a torch or headlamp, a power bank, sunscreen, mosquito repellent and any personal medicines. Carry a small bag for wet clothes if you plan to swim.
Leave valuables at home. Bring ID for every adult, because check-in requires it. If you are travelling with kids, add a favourite snack and a small blanket. If you plan to drink, do so responsibly, and remember that anyone driving the next day should not.
Safety, Rules and Beach Etiquette
Revdanda is a quiet beach, which also means rescue support is limited compared with a busy resort beach. Swim only in the daytime and only in shallow water near the camp, never alone and never after dark. Currents shift with the tide, and the staff will point out safe spots. Keep children within sight at all times.
Fire safety is handled by the team, so please stay within the bonfire area and keep a safe distance from tents. Loud music ends at the time set by the camp, in line with local rules. Treat the beach as shared space. The seven principles from Leave No Trace apply here as much as in any wilderness area: take your waste back to the bins, avoid disturbing wildlife and leave the sand cleaner than you found it. Plastic is the biggest threat to this shoreline, so carry a refillable bottle.

How to Book Your Alibaug Beach Camping in Four Steps
First, choose your date and check the weather outlook. Second, decide your group size and whether you want a couple tent, a family arrangement or a group cluster. Third, open our packages page, pick the plan that fits your budget and send your details. Fourth, pay the advance amount to confirm. You will receive a booking confirmation along with the campsite location pin and the contact number of the on-ground coordinator.
Booking early matters for two reasons. Peak dates sell out, and early bookings get a better choice of tent position near the shoreline. If your plans are uncertain, ask about rescheduling terms before paying so you know your options.
Cancellation, Weather and Payment Terms
Plans change, and weather can too. If a date is cancelled by us for safety or weather reasons, you can reschedule within the season or request a refund according to the terms shared at booking. If you cancel on your own, the policy depends on how close the date is, and cancellations made well in advance are treated more kindly than last minute ones. Read the terms on your confirmation message and keep it handy.
Payment can be made by UPI, bank transfer or card, and the balance is settled at check-in. Always pay through the official contact details listed on our website, and do not send money to unknown numbers.
Places to Visit Around Your Campsite
Do not treat the trip as sleep and leave. Revdanda Fort and the Chaul area hold centuries of Portuguese and Maratha history, and the ruins are a short walk or ride away. Korlai Fort, with its lighthouse and coastal views, is a quick drive and worth the climb, and you can read about it on Korlai Fort’s Wikipedia page. Kashid Beach is nearby for a lighter sand stretch, and Murud-Janjira, the island fort, makes a good half day outing. For a wider list, see our guide on places to visit in Alibaug and our overview of Revdanda tourism.
