This beautiful old farm house is surrounded by the beauty of mountains and huge trees. If you are looking for a safe, quiet place to stay over, this is the ideal facility.

Over the past Ten years, the wife and I spent just over six months of the year, on and off during the year, travelling the country. We did the Star Grading of most of the graded resorts country wide. We camped in over 80 caravan parks a year, and tow our sponsored Jurgens Fleetline caravan around 25 000 kilometers a year.

We want to know what type of camper you are. Go to our forums page and comment there.

I have kept ALL statistics of my caravans over the years. We started caravanning with my father in law (I “made” him buy one as I could not afford it!) in 1973 and we used to erect two tents - one in front (kitchen, dining room and lounge) and one at the back of the caravan (bedroom for me, the wife and our two (then) small children).

In my travels around the country, I read numerous visitor comments that are made in our National Parks "Visitor Registers." I have included the comments in English and Afrikaans for the benefit of our campers.

What a "Lekker" turnout! We had 21 families at the CaravanParks.com Forums Members Koro-Koro Rally. The weather was superb, the comradeship was exceptional, the venue was excellent, and an absolutely good time was had by all! A special thanks to Willem Brits (Wilsur) for putting the whole Rally together – much appreciated. I see you have "Passed the buck" for the next CaravanParks.com Rally/Saamtrek to be held in August this year. The proposed venue is to be ATKV Eiland Spa. (That’s if they can accommodate us.)

Camping remains the oldest form of alternative accommodation and goes right back to Neanderthal man

During our recent “Tour around the country” Grading trip, we stopped at Eastco Magalies, on appointment, to do the Grading Assessment on the resort.  On arrival, Louise, the resort manager, told us that The Motorhome Club will be rallying there this coming weekend. We were due to depart on Friday morning.

I meet up with literally hundreds of International visitors during my travels. I spend half of my time travelling the country with our elegant sponsored caravan
