I had booked the tent for a new & peaceful experience but didnt want to stay too far away from Kodaikanal. This is a campsite & NOT a resort\ hotel to set the expectations right. 
   
Location
This site is few kms before entering Kodaikanal & takes diversion after travelling a couple of kms from silver cascade. There is thar road & can travel both during day\ night to the site if need be. There is no easy signage until you reach the gates. You need to travel about 300m to reach the reception from the gate via paved blocks. 
  
Parking
There is parking for about 4 cars near the reception but more cars can be parked near the container rooms using a short path provided. The parking near reception would be outside electrified fencing & others inside. Some hill driving experience is needed to reach here & use the parking though there is no need to be a expert. No off-roading involved which usually is the case with most other camping sites in and around Kodaikanal.
  
Rooms
I had stayed in the tent type room. They have a restroom & changing room with a lock provided nearby the tent. Considering this is a campsite, the facilities are more than expected but basic if you compare it against a hotel\ resort. There is no light for changing room area & some cupboard either inside or outside the changing room could have been more helpful. The tent was a bit wornout but i got some extra pillow & heavy blanket. It was a bit smelly but again you are in a campsite, The tents & blanket were able to hold back the winds & chill weather well, there is no need to worry on that front. Do not expect television, kettle, any such extra amenities. I didnt feel comfortable with the containers as it seemed a bit locked up & may suit family with child if they want a campsite experience. 
     
Environment
The campsite is located within a pear farm & they do other vegetable farming as well such as carrots, radish, cabbage, etc. I had visited in Feb month in which the pear trees were all dry, expected to be ready for picking post mid-March. The rooms are at different heights, climbing the crude steps maybe difficult & they do have smoother slopes which can be used for climbing. The night lighting is good & gives a peaceful night.  There are some kids play items, indoor games, barbeque, campfire, sound system, etc. 
   
I had gone to relax & the campsite environment was much suitable. During the morning hours, i had walked independently till i reached the peak of the hill. The path was through their farms, a small stream crossed, rocky place & then tharred road as well. There are couple of bungalows as you climb higher. The campsite is under a private property & to protect the area they have electric fencing. Believe it was much frequented earlier by bison. There are supposedly no monkeys. Unfortunately, there are a lot of speakers in nearby temples\ mosques, etc i believe which give a noisy environment at times which is not under the control of property management. 
   
Staff
I had booked during a weekday & off season so had the entire resort for myself literally. On reaching there was no one around, had to call, wait & get the staff available. Some temporary staff reached but did not have enough information to share. Eventually the site in-charge Mughendran reached & made our stay pleasant. He was willing & able to spend more time since there were no other guests. Limited staff took care of all our requests, many coffee\ tea requests, drinking hot water, cooking, indoor games, hot water for bathing, guiding us within the campsite, etc. Seems additional staff come into picture based on crowd, etc. The campfire & bbq were good considering we were alone but was also the only option they provide for dinner. The food was reasonably good. 
Additionally while i vacated, the incharge guided us to a summit within their property reachable by car via a steep climb. The view point from there was a very good with a lot of hills visible below our feet. The staff under guidance of Mughendran seem to be turning around the campsite for betterment.
  
Improvements Needed
There are some more maintenance needed in the facilities provided, i heard a lot about the investments about to be made & would like to see the changes. Hot water initially did not reach the room & after some fixing came in brown color & may need a bit more regular checks. A cupboard for tents would help. 
   
Overall
I would like to visit again & spend more time during weekdays next time.

Good Hiking & Camping Site near Kodaikanal

We visited Pear County with 2 other families & kids.  It’s a beautiful Orchard with numerous pear trees. We had a lot of fun Pear Picking, guided by their patient staff and we also got to walk through the vegetable garden spotting carrots, beans etc. It was a great experience for the kids. They offered to arrange lunch as well. If you wish to unwind & relax amidst the Beautiful orchard, they have cute Cabins with a double bed & attached restroom. It’s the perfect place for a picnic with children.

Pear Picking

Fantastic place if you are looking for cosy date with nature. The format is tents or container based rooms. The property staff are very resourceful. There is a BBQ night every night with a good serving of veggies and chicken. There is a also a morning trek around the property for the adventurous. Overall a nice pleasant stay.

Lovely locale close to nature

We visited The Pear County stay our Kodaikanal trip in March month. We experienced camping on the hills with a breathtaking view, enthralling off-roading entrace road, lipsmacking food, barbeque beside campfire and an amazing staff to make your stay an amazing all around experience! For an icing on the cake, if you hit the months right - the whole site gets covered in the mist.  What else do you need? :)

Tent House 🏘️

Beautiful property in the lap of nature! The concept is very different with cabin stays and comfortable tents. Staff was very kind and helpful, the set up and amazing barbecue with great food and bonfire. The trek in the morning is totally worth it with a breath-taking view overlooking the river crossing the city of Madurai. The property overlooks the city of Kodaikanal and gives a spectacular sunset view. Has a game room, dedicated fire and barbecue place, and dinning place. Breakfast was fulfilling and I had a great time here! Family and solo traveller friendly - this is a must visit if you are in Kodaikanal!

Must visit in Kodiakanal!

I stayed at The Pear County for 2 Nights. My experience staying there was awesome and the staffs are very helpful.
I think it's just not another Resort or Hotel, The Pear County is an Experience!
I stayed 1 Night in at Tent & 1 Night at Cabin (Container home). It's completely understandable that Hot water is not always possible to get at Hilly place, but the staffs always helped us with Hot water supply. Food is homely. 
I think this is a unique experience someone can get at Kodaikanal.

Amazing place!!

Amazing services, superb staff members and beautiful spot! Going back again with my family for sure. 
Also, have to mention the lovely bonfire & BBQ where my friends and I got to meet everyone living there and that was thrilling too! Great food, stay and company!

The Sabarjelly project!

This resort is nothing short of a pear paradise. With sprawling orchards of pear trees and camouflaging green container cabins set in between, this resort located on a hill overlooking Kodaikanal is a perfect vacation spot for the adventure seekers. The cabins and tents come with attached bath. The breathtaking jewel box view of Kodai can be captured right from the cabin windows. The package comes with a trek to the top of the hill to look at the city view, which is a must-do for trekkers. The food is delicious and the staff are very cordial. Icing on the cake would be their campfire nights with BBQ. Would love to visit again soon.

Perfect holiday getaway

Great Location, Yummy Food, Friendly staff, Excellent service!
Overall awesome experience.
Camping is highly recommended. Campfire with music and bbq is also awesome.
The place is simply awesome :)...
