Campsite Overview

Beaverlac is situated on a heritage site, the Grootfontein farm. It is just a short drive up and over the mountain from Porterville, approximately 2.5hours from Cape Town. Its rustic charm has been a popular camping destination for many campers throughout the years, as you cannot help but be drawn in by the natural surroundings and stunning rockpools that are scattered around the farm. It is one of the most affordable campsites, also offering a few rustic wooden cabins if you prefer camping in something a little more structured.

Pet-Friendly and Affordable

Beaverlac is really an overall gem, being close to Cape Town and at very affordable prices, this site offers everything.

There is an extremely well stocked shop so you can purchase amenities that were forgotten at home. There is an abundance of birdlife and great swimming spots which are a short walk away.

World class swimming spots

Love this place, so good in the Summertime. Lots of dogs and students make it a festive spot, but if you are prepared to walk a few km’s, you will find some of the worlds best mountain pools, and probably have it to yourself. The last section of road down the pass might be tricky for towing something large and heavy.
