You pitch your tent on gravel, which makes for easy maintenance but is uncomfortable underfoot. Take slip-slops to wear around camp.

Addo gets quite busy over long weekends and school holidays. This national park is a great stopover, but also well worth a few days’ visit. It now has the Big Five and an excellent network of roads for game viewing.
The campsite has lots of shade, neat spekboom hedges for privacy, and spacious ablution facilities. Most tent sites are quite small, so book a caravan site if you want a larger stand.
There’s a well-stocked shop and a restaurant half-a-minute’s walk away, a bird hide, waterhole, game hide and interpretive trail. The camp is the starting point for horse trails too.
