A campsite of 22 stands inside Kgaswane, a provincial reserve on the northern slopes of the Magaliesberg just outside Rustenburg. The reserve is known for its sable antelope, a large central vlei and a Cape vulture breeding colony, and it is the base for two overnight hiking routes. Access is from Helen Joseph Road heading west out of Rustenburg; motorbikes are not allowed, and the waterfalls are open only to booked overnight hikers. Mining company Impala Rustenburg funded a renovation of the camping area and its bathrooms.
