Hartbeespoort camping can be a lot of fun! There are really great camping sites to choose from and the majority has excellent settings in tree rich areas. Some of these sites also have water streams running through them which together with the natural vegetation attract a bountiful bird population. Camping can be had in either tents or a van if you would prefer towing that. The facilities are generally well appointed with electrical points for vans and good ablution facilities.
The tent sites are also very popular, offering cheap accommodation Hartbeespoort dam and are pleasantly located within the camping sites, which in some instances may also offer chalets or cabins for rent.
