Why do families choose Simply Heaven in Rishikesh?
Families choose Simply Heaven because one enclosed property has something for every age: shallow river water and open lawns for children, adventure for teenagers, and ground-floor rooms and quiet seating for grandparents. Meals, rooms and evening activities are all on site, so nobody has to drive around after dark.
The resort sits beside the small River Heul on Neelkanth Temple Road, near Rajaji National Park, and the Ganga riverbank is about a 500 m walk. Days start with a buffet breakfast, move between the river, the lawn and a short guided walk, and end with dinner around the bonfire. If you want more comfort, the luxury camping cottages add king-size beds and 24-hour room service.

Which room type is best for a family?
For most families, an interconnected quad-sharing family room or a quad-sharing AC cottage is the best choice, because parents and children stay together with one attached bathroom. Couples with one child can take a triple-sharing cottage, and larger families can book interconnected rooms next to each other. Nobody sleeps in a tent here: every family stay is a solid room with air conditioning and an attached bathroom.
| Room type | Best for | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Interconnected family room | Families of 4, or two related families | Quad sharing, connecting door, attached western bathroom |
| Deluxe AC cottage | Parents with 1 or 2 children, elders | AC, winter room heater, flat-screen TV, seating area, room service, ground floor |
All rooms have an attached western bathroom and 24/7 hot water, and the property has power backup and Wi-Fi in common areas. Our guide to camping in Rishikesh compares every stay type in more detail.
