The campground at CapeNature's Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve looks onto indigenous forest and has two parts. Campsite B has nine decked tent sites with screens, lights, power and USB points and views into the forest, while Campsite A has five basic sites near the pool for caravans and campervans. Caravans and off-road trailers are not allowed in the decked area. Firewood is not allowed in the reserve, but eco-logs and charcoal are sold at reception.
