Campsite Overview

Bontebok National Park is located on the N2 and opposite the quaint town of Swellendam. It forms part of the gorgeous and world-renowned Cape Floral Kingdom, a natural spectacle of beautiful flora now designated as a Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. ‘Lang Elsie’ has been designed according to the area’s overriding principals of functionality with minimal impact – situated near the Breede River, this self-catering accommodation is a welcome and unobtrusive part of the surrounding environment, clean, quiet, and friendly.

Accommodation includes a four-bed chalet, a six-bed family cottage, and caravan and tented camping sites, hosting up to a maximum of six people each. The main camping area is situated behind the chalets. These sites have a powerpoint, a communal kitchen and ablutions. The campsites along the Breede River do not have power only a tap for water. For the use of the ablution facilities guest need to walk up to the camping area.

Activities available to guests include hiking, mountain biking, and walking trails, game viewing (self-drive), birding, and river activities.
