The larger of the two camping grounds in Royal Natal National Park, set below the Northern Drakensberg close to the Amphitheatre. The grassed camp is lined with tall trees and runs along a mountain stream, with sites both with and without electricity and space for caravans. Hiking trails start nearby; baboons in the park are bold, so keep food locked away.
