Our campsite is grassed with trees for ample shade. Each campsite in our main area has access to electrical points, lights + braai facilities. We have non-electrified sites for 4×4 off-grid campers. Central wash up stations and clean ablutions with hot water (separate male + female) are available. We have 10 electrified camp sites, 2 non-electrified campsites, each accommodating 4-6 persons per site. We have 5 set up dome tents with bed + bedding for those looking for a camping experience but with no gear due to travel restrictions or for first time campers. We have two cabin glampers (shared ablution block with campsite) with basic utilities. The camp is set within the Renosterveld Project (as one of the last remaining bio-domes of indigenous renosterveld). This provides a unique natural transition of wildlife between the farmlands. Wildlife such as porcupine, bontebok, bush buck, steenbok, genet, serval, cape hare and mongoose are just a few of the species seen around camp. The birdlife is rich and a paradise for avid birders looking to catch the world famous Fish Eagle, Blue Cranes, Kingfishers. For group pre-bookings we also offer catering options. Please note that we are not a music festival destination and do not wish to strain our camp for short term over capitalised events. We are open to private functions, such as film sets, small rustic weddings, family reunions, milestone celebrations and school market.
The camp has a no pets policy as we fall within the Renosterveld Project and situated on a working farm.
No music permitted in camp unless special written permission has been granted and camp hired for private function. No music after 12pm policy
