We realise that many people were great fans of this site in particular within the park, so we are happy to be able to invite these loyal fans back to the park to take in the exceptional beauty of the Breede River,” says Park Manager, Bulelwa Msengi.
Visitors should bring their own camping gear, and please note that no caravans are allowed on these specific sites.
