Great place. Everything as described. Super place to just take a day and chill doing nothing as you watch Mt. kenya peaks playing hide and seek with the clouds 😅

Camping is 500 ksh ppn including a clean toilet and hot solar shower. You can ask to use the kitchen and the socket if you need it.
Mike is an extremely kind caretaker that will help you with everything you need, I highly recommend it!

What a fantastic camping location. An acre of lush lawn grass to set up on, good security and fantastic location. Practically at the foot of Mount Kenya with great panoramic views, including the glaciers and peak when the clouds give way.
The caretaker, Mike, is friendly and very eager to help. He is an oracle of local knowledge and will assist with a smile. Clean bathroom facilities with plumbed hot and cold water plus cooking facility if required. Electrical connection available for a modest charge.

We loved this very cute campsite in the foothills of Mt Kenya. Gorgeous views of the mountain, grassy site, super clean and hot shower. It is a smallholding with some sheep, a cow, vegetable patch, all really well looked after plus 2 gorgeous dogs! Mike the manager is charming and helpful and even provided us with potatoes and veges from the plot. At over 2600m it gets chilly at night but gorgeous through the day! Great access to hiking around the area.

Super nice and well maintained plot, surrounded by village and farm life.
Mike is super engaged and we really enjoyed our time there.
Don't trust Google to find the place, the roads Google uses do not exist. See picture...
The place is noisy in the evening due to motorbike traffic, but quiet at night. Shower is hot, ablutions are super clean.
Good 4G Safaricom.
We did a nice hike along the river to the pools.

Campsite in a rural setting with great view of Mt Kenya. Camping is on a slightly sloping field with nice green grass. Enough level spots to accommodate RTT's.
There is a vegetable patch and friendly manager Mike is more than happy to share some with you.
A clean bathroom is provided for campers and the solar hot water provides for a lovely shower. Camping is KES500 pppn. We enjoyed the cooler climate after Turkana, Marsabit and Meru NP. It's at over 2600m so nights do get cool.
There is also a nicely appointed log cabin for USD60 a night in case you want to get away from camping.

The Wonky House Camping Ground is located 9 kilometres off the main road from Timau town in a secure and serene farming village overlooking Mt. Kenya. In front of the house is a small area perfect for camping. Timau is in close proximity to various wildlife conservancies and national parks such as Ol Pajeta, Lewa, Borana, Samburu National Park and Solio Ranch. The Wonky House has a great vegetable patch for guests to enjoy fresh produce during your stay. It is a great place to escape from city life! It gets quite cold at night, don't forget your cosy pyjamas. They can be contacted on +254 727 102120 for more information and camping rates.
