It is ideally located near Patensie approximately 8 kilometres from the end of the tar road en route into the Baviaanskloof - yet easily accessible with a normal car.

The campsite and chalets are located in tranquil settings amongst indigenous trees and riverine vegetation on the banks of the Grootrivier between the Kouga and Winterhoek Mountains making it an ideal breakaway into nature.

Absolutely Awesome place to camp. Thank you Christiaan for your friendly hospitality and great service. We'll definitely camp there again

Beautiful scenery, campsites next to river. Ours had a fire pit, a rustic private flush toilet and very nice hot shower. The site had lovely soft green grass and we had a kitchen sink with work surfaces under a roof and with paving.

Beautiful camp sites with stunning views. We were greeted with hospitality on arrival, booking + check in was easy. We stayed at camp 4 - very private. Green campsite with a lot of shade and clean facilities.

Lovely rustic exclusive campsite (14) on the river. (no power, gas shower)

Extraordinary camp spot with the most spectacular views and wild life - one of our trip highlights. Already recommended this place to friends and family. Facilities were all in working condition and blends in with the surroundings.

A lovely, peaceful and picturesque camp site on the river. We had site 5 and it was a little away from the others so nice and private. We had lovely hot showers too. I would advise 4 x 4 vehicle if you want to drive through the park.
