A small campsite at a family-run lodge on the tarred Sani Pass road, about 1 km before the Sani Pass Hotel, on the edge of the Drakensberg World Heritage Site. There are nine sites with their own braai stands and parking, and several are suited to rooftop tents. There are no electrical points; one unisex block has gas-heated hot showers, and campers share a basic kitchen. The lodge's tour company runs trips up Sani Pass into Lesotho.
