Nice quiet place above Swellendam, at a reservoir with a view of the mountains. You can swim in the lake.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
really nice and quiet spot. perfect for a swim after a hot day.
lots of morning walkers.
All as described before, great place! Feels safe, traveling solo.
to get there, go direction Berry Farm and take a sharp right turn into the dirtroad as on the picture
We spend 3 nights there with RTT without any problems. So many paths around, you can find quiet and nice place. Nice lake and little hike. We recommended, lovely place.

Perfect place to stay over night, in the morning there are a few people who walk their digs but everyone is super friendly
Report Check-InVery nice stop. There are lots of joggers and people walking with their dogs and families around sunset and also early morning. Otherwise its a very safe and cool spot.

kids had great fun playing in the water.
Parked next to the woods, down the road looking for protection, as it was too windy
Very quiet and remote…definitely worth spending a night here
You can park your truck on the dam of Grootkloof Reservoir with a nice view of the lake and the mountains. On Saturday evening were some people in the area but ok at night.
Report Check-InAgain at this beautiful spot, but unfortunately previous campers left their exkrement right in the middle of the spot.. not a nice behaviour!!
Report Check-InQuiet safe spot for wild camping. Mushrooms to be picked also in nearby forest.

Schöner ruhiger Platz oberhalb von Swellendam, an einen Stausee mit Blick auf die Berge. Im See kann man baden.
