Three campsites near the office at the foot of the Gamkaberg, looking across the Klein Karoo valley to the Swartberg. Two have sheltered areas for tents, and the newer third site is laid out for vehicles with rooftop tents and off-road trailers and has a fire pit. The sites have electricity and share solar-heated showers and flush toilets about 50 m away. The reserve uses borehole water at its tourism facilities, and visitors are welcome to bring their own.
