Camping & Caravanning in peaceful nature [Wednesday, February 24, 2010]
Magoebaskloof Getaway Camping is an oasis of peace and tranquility where one is able to unwind and enjoy the lush subtropical vegetation and nature. It provide a welcome stopover for those going to the Kruger park or just wanting a awesome holiday in the beauty of nature.
There are 12 camping sites on this beautiful 64ha farm with about 4ha of gardens and 1.5ha of dams. Each campsite is about 10m x 10m & each site is clearly demarcated by drainage and clearly numbered. Each site has its own braai area with a light that can be switched on and off by yourself so that you can see your meat and what you are doing on the braai table. Underneath the braai table is a spot where you can put your braai wood or charcoal and big black dustpan right next door. Each site has their own socket outlets and is protected by it’s own 15 amp circuit breaker with an earth leakage (as required by law). Each site also has it's own tap for drinking water etc. but not for washing oily items as that is what the kitchen is for. The camping area is lit up with lights at about every second site making it a little more homely and visible. There is also a Sauna close to the ablution facility.
There is also a spot in the camping area where there is a supply of cut up fire wood that if needed can be bought at R20/lug box.
There is a central area to do the dish washing etc., with a fridge/freezer, urn, x2 toaster, two plate stove and a table top for a working area. There are also electric points in this central working area.
The female section of the ablution facilities has a shower with a glass pivot door and a changing area and 2 toilets. The basins are modern with mirrors above each basin and a water tight plug point with a mirror just above the plug. The males section is exactly the same as above except that there is a urinal included. All the floors in the ablution block and kitchen are tiled with black slate tiles.
There is also a volley ball court, jungle gym for the kids, sauna and a beautiful hiking trail with two beautiful waterfalls. The hiking trail goes to the top of the farm alongside a perennial stream, but is extremely steep. While on your way up you can have a shower under the waterfall in crystal clean spring water or experience what it is like to be Tarzan in the jungle while swinging on the monkey ropes.
Experience nature at its best; come on & treat yourself, you deserve it.
