Located in the picturesque Vleiland valley - on the R323 linking Laingsburg (N1) to Route 62 via Seweweekspoort - this is a perfect weekend getaway or overnight stop. Ideal for groups of friends or adventure bikers who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Porcupine Rest Camp offers you the chance to really appreciate nature and the beauty of the Karoo landscape.

Three individual campsites under shady trees, each with private shower, flush toilet and a large braai area. Each site is in a unique setting and spaced well apart from the others. Each campsite has its own ‘secret’ path to the seasonal river, and a private beach or rock pool where you can enjoy a dip in the heat of summer.

Basic camping gear - tents, stretchers, mattresses, chairs, lamps and tables – available for hire. We set up camp for you at no extra charge.

Braai wood, ice, meat, farm bread, eggs and other essentials available.

Camping and 4X4 caravans only. (June 2015).
