A forest camp on the Groot River in the De Vasselot area of the Tsitsikamma section, about 30 km from Plettenberg Bay. Its 65 campsites sit under indigenous trees and have no power; extension leads to bring power to sites are not allowed. Campers share ablutions with electric geysers and a coin-operated laundry.
