Tweede Tol sits at the original 1853 tollgate on the Bainskloof Pass, inside CapeNature's Limietberg Nature Reserve. There are 20 standard sites plus six private sites, a hot-water ablution block and a braai at each site, and campers have exclusive use of the Wolwekloof River swimming holes. Firewood may not be brought in because of the shothole borer beetle; eco-logs and charcoal are sold at the gate. The entrance has a 3.2 m height limit, alcohol is not permitted, and payment is cash only.
