Vaalkop Dam Nature Reserve Campsite

A basic campsite in a 3,996 ha reserve around Vaalkop Dam, in bushveld north-east of Rustenburg. From Brits, take the R511 north to the Beestekraal turn-off and follow the Vaalkop signs to the reserve gate at the dam wall. Carp and yellowfish draw anglers, and more than 340 bird species have been recorded; an 800 ha bird sanctuary on the shore is closed to the public. The camping area lies on the northern side of the dam.
