Bruintjieskraal

Bruintjieskraal Campsite is set on the banks of the Groot River in the scenic Grootrivier Poort, at the entrance to the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area in the Eastern Cape.

Located near Patensie and roughly 8 kilometres from the end of the tar road into the Baviaanskloof, it remains accessible by ordinary vehicle. The campsite sits among indigenous trees and riverine vegetation between the Kouga and Winterhoek Mountains.

Camping stands are spread across the property in several groupings, with individual and clustered sites available. Each stand includes a flush toilet, shower, and braai area.

Visitors can explore the area through scenic walks, river hikes, swimming, fishing, and birdwatching. Baboons are resident wildlife in the area. Self-catering chalets at the adjacent Glencoe property are also available for those seeking covered accommodation.
