Bloemhof Nature Reserve Groupcamp

Bloemhof Dam Nature Reserve sits on the N12 Treasure Route, roughly 300 km southwest of Johannesburg and 150 km northeast of Kimberley in North West Province.

The reserve lies about 4 km outside Bloemhof town in the direction of Hoopstad, and internal roads are generally suitable for most vehicles except in very wet conditions.

The group camp is set within this expansive reserve alongside one of South Africa's largest dams, covering some 25,000 hectares and fed by the Vaal River.

The area is a premier angling destination, hosting major competitions including the Tri-Nations and the Bloemhof Bonanza, and the dam is open to a range of water sports with powerboat launching facilities available.
