A basic, fenced camping area next to Sendelingsdrif Rest Camp, where every visitor to the South African side of the park has to report at reception. It suits a first or last night in the park, and the rest camp also has chalets and a swimming pool. The pont across the Orange River to Namibia leaves from here, but SANParks closed it on 21 September 2026 because of high water, so plan to enter via Alexander Bay. A high-clearance vehicle or 4x4 is recommended for the park roads.
