Description

Bontebok National Park is situated 6 km from the picturesque and historic town of Swellendam, 240 km from Cape Town and 540 km from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). The park is easily accessible from the N2 and because of its small size, visitors can drive around the whole park in a few hours. It is a great stopping point between Cape Town and the Garden Route, for a picnic, swim, or small hike to stretch the legs. It also offers passers-by and local residents a great braai location or a place to bring the kids.

Sheltered by the rugged bastion of the Langeberg Mountains, and flanked by the tranquil Breede River, this remnant piece of the Cape Floral Kingdom saved the bontebok from extinction.

Accommodation is offered in fully equipped self-catering chalets at the Lang Elsies’ Kraal Rest Camp. The Rest Camp also has caravan and campsites with or without power, all of which have communal ablution facilities. The Lang Elsie's Kraal Rest Camp is named after the 'Hessekwa' Khoi Khoi chieftainess called 'Lang Elsie’, who lived there with her clan in the 18th century. The Rest Camp is set on the banks of the Breede River, and provides pristine scenery of the park, Breede River and Langeberg Mountains

Bontebok National Park is also great day-visitor location. Recently upgraded day-visitor facilities include a rest camp and recreational braai facility called ‘Die Stroom’. Enjoy a picnic on the banks of the Breede River, or braai at one of the designated braai spots, or Die Stroom function centre, also on the banks of the Breede.

Was okay. Just too close to other campers. It's a nice location. The campsites are very close to each other, so not a lot of privacy.
