Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve Campsite

A provincial reserve of about 18,000 ha wrapped around Sterkfontein Dam, roughly 23 km from Harrismith, with the Drakensberg escarpment on the skyline. Camping is offered alongside basic self-catering chalets; some stands have electrical points and some do not. There is no restaurant, so stock up in Harrismith. DESTEA confirmed in May 2025 that the reserve stayed open for camping, fishing, boating and self-guided game drives while the chalets were refurbished.
