site layout
This large, grass-covered site comfortably hosts up to 30 people. It’s completely private, tucked beneath old oak trees and surrounded by wild mountain beauty.
You’ll find four power outlets spread out across the site, with another two at the kitchen, ample shade, and plenty of space for tents and caravans. The area is level and accessible, with drinking water taps and electric lights for visibility at night.
bathrooms
Ablution facilities include three showers and three toilets each for men and women – clean, private, and supplied with hot water from gas geysers. There’s a washing basin, a tap for dishes, and we’re in the process of adding a prep surface to make camp cooking even easier.
braai boma
The heart of the campsite: our partially enclosed boma firepit, with space to seat up to 20 people. It includes a tap, and a relaxed, protected setup that makes it perfect for lazy evenings around the fire. Please bring your own table if needed – and yes, we sell firewood on-site.
Private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature – the Ribbokskloof campsite is made for deep breaths, good company, and off-grid connection.
Whether you’re here to hike, swim, birdwatch or simply do nothing at all –
this is your s p a c e to do it.

Rules
The gentle art of switching off.
At Ribbokskloof, we invite you to slow down and savour the stillness. To help everyone enjoy the peace and beauty of the space, we kindly ask that guests keep music low and avoid fireworks or firearms. Day visitors aren’t permitted unless arranged in advance – it’s part of what makes the campsite feel so private. We ask that fires are kept to the designated boma, and that things stay quiet after 10pm.
For safety and respect for the land, please swim and fish only at the designated dams, and stick to the marked walking and cycling trails. Wildflowers, proteas, and farm fruit are there to admire, not to pick. And while we love the wildlife that shares this space, please don’t feed them – they thrive best when left wild.
All activities are done at your own risk, and we ask that you make use of the bins provided to help keep the site clean for the next guests.
Thanks for helping us keep the calm.
