Magoebaskloof Camping Sites provide a welcome stopover for travelers and holiday makers. Located in an oasis of peace and tranquility where one is able to unwind and enjoy the lush subtropical vegetation. The magic of fresh spring running water is a taste of heaven, as is the chance to breathe some clean, fresh air.
Magoebaskloof Camping Sites are serenely situated in the scenic mountainous setting of Magoebaskloof in the Limpopo Province near Haenertsburg and Tzaneen. We are less than three hours drive from Pretoria. You are at liberty to wander throughout the area, through the forests and along the river while enjoying and experiencing the call of the prolific bird life in a peaceful environment and maybe even seeing the protected and rare Samango monkeys.
There are 10 camping sites on this beautiful 64 ha farm, with about 4 ha of gardens and 1.5 ha of dams. Each camp site is about 10 m x 10 m and is clearly demarcated by drainage and clearly numbered. Each site has its own braai facilities, an electrical socket outlet which is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker with an earth leakage. Each site also has it's own tap for drinking water, but not for washing oily items. The camping area is lit up with lights at about every second site making it a little more homely and visible.
There is a central area to do the dish washing, with a fridge and freezer, urn, 2 toasters, a 2-plate stove and a table top for a working area. There are also electric points in this central working area.
The female section of the ablution facilities has a shower with a glass pivot door and a changing area and 2 toilets. The basins are modern with mirrors above each basin and a water tight plug point with a mirror just above the plug. The males section is similar and includes urinal. All the floors in the ablution block and kitchen are tiled with black slate tiles.
There is also a volley ball court and a beautiful hiking trail with 3 beautiful waterfalls. During heavy rain, the road to the camp site may be affected, but is fit for 2x4 vehicles.

27 guests' feedbackThe scenery is one for the books. However, the facilities were a bit disappointing. Some of the lights and one of the showers did not work well. If we weren't all human, the broken shower would have been a problem.
It's a nice campsite if you have a 4x4 vehicle.
Truly an experience to cherish. Quiet, clean and the sounds of nature bring humanity to a standstill. Staff are so helpful. Whoever the owner is, thank you so much for sharing Eden with us.
Tried to contact them about 15 times on Sunday December 25th but the cell number rings until it goes to voicemail. A Whatsapp was sent at 20:46pm to the cell number and also to website, tried to contact them as I wanted to check in by 10am on the 26th. On the 26th of December I tried to contact them again at about 10am but the cell still rings until it goes to voicemail. At 11am upon my arrival at their entrance I first get a "yes its fine" Whatsapp. The campsite's name is actually Eden's Gate or Magoebaskloof Getaway and not indicated as on the map provided by the website (there are many other campsites in the same area and without a proper name you will end up in the wrong place). The directions on the website took us to a wrong place in the woods, so we got lost. Called the manager again, but again they didn't answer their phone. I requested a pin drop but still waiting for it. With great difficulty we arrive at the place with a road that I would not recommend with a car and caravan - the road needs a lot of work. We met Sam at reception who was unhelpful as if we were bothering him. He claims the 50% still had to be paid, after I had to quickly correct him that it had already been paid. His flimsy excuse was that there is no catchment in the mountains and was not aware of the calls in the past 2 days. I immediately dialed the number in front of him and he turned red with embarrassment when the phone rang in his hands. Hyt also didn't see that we asked for a pindrop after we got lost in the woods for almost an hour. The campsite was empty and we could choose a pitch. We were the only campers. Took pitch 6 which has the most grass. The rest is dirt and with all the rain it was a mud mess. Surely they can redo the place where your caravan or tent stands with paving bricks like 99% of other campsites which prevent everything from getting full of mud. Bathrooms were clean, but the right side men's toilet (only 2 toilets in men's bathroom and 2 in women's bathroom) was leaking water washing the bathroom floor. The left-hand hand basin tap can also be tightened. The men shower head is broken and you have to dance around to get wet. The women's bathroom's right toilet was also leaking water and I had to turn off the faucet to stop the waste. Only certain bulbs in the campsite worked and we had to take out some of the bulbs from the empty pitches ourselves to replace the ones that had blown. From our arrival we could hear that there is a short circuit somewhere on the electric wire. Day 2 after I complained, they found a live open electrical wire in the yard at stand 5 and tied it off. Also no electricity was available at the pitches where you plug in your caravan as according to the workers it is on a 'single (one) phase' but the site and ablution blocks are on a 'three phase'. After 2 days without power , the workers made available extension cords that had to be plugged into the bathrooms. The people who checked in a day after us at stand 4 and 5 didn't stay long and were also unhappy. The geyser was on solar so the lukewarm water was limited as it was very cloudy. Surely it could also be connected to power to avoid a cold shower. Wall plugs at the chapel which is outside by a river and under trees were open and exposed to the rain. Location was exceptional nice - ponds, grounds, chalets, but serious maintenance needs to be considered. It would also mean a lot if the manager answered their phone as they run a resort. I shudder to think if there was an emergency and people tried to contact them .On a scale of 1 to 10 I give them a 9 for the location. Access to the resort (the dirt road to the resort) 1 out of 10 - would not venture the road without a proper 4X4. Not good for a regular town car. Customer service I would give them a 0.5 out of 10. Would I recommend the place to other campers? Definitely not happy. NB I would give them no star for customer service but had to as you can't save your comment without filling in the space.
As a whole, a pleasant experience but wouldn't camp here again. The campsite feels exclusive since there are only a few spots, and the no music policy is fantastic. Seems like you're camping on a working farm and you can hear people living on the farm clearly. (The noise at night didn't last long, but we were woken up just after 5am by a car's hooting.) The name on the website is incorrect which makes finding the place quite tricky. (It's actually called Magoebaskloof Getaway). The website states you should look out for yellow banners to find the entrance, however, the banners are no longer yellow - they are now white, and with the name of the campsite being different to the actual name of the campsite, it's rather confusing. This is a little thing, but there was no soap in the soap dispensers. Having it which would have been a welcome touch. Cold shower: this could be due to loadshedding but made my overall experience unpleasant. No braai grid at our camp spot. We were able to use a grid from an unoccupied camp spot, but if all the spots were filled, this would've been inconvenient.
Road only for 4x4 caravans.
We had a great time camping, but the road was not suitable for a 2x4 with a trailer. You definitely need a 4x4 for towing to the camp.
Path down to the resort a bit steep for a regular caravan. Ideal for tents and forest wagons. Ablution facilities nice and clean, but can be too few if park is full. Very nice camping and the little shop has everything you need.
In late autumn it is too cold to camp here in a tent. The name of the place is confusing.
Beautiful nature and peaceful.
This place was not as advertised, there are no waterfalls near the area as advertised, no trails directly from camp site, we went for a walk and got chased off a property for trespassing. There is no mention of the wedding chapel on the camp grounds and no prior notification that a wedding will take place during our stay. So the rest of the camp area was used as a parking lot for 150 peoples cars, in addition the wedding venue did not have enough ablution facilities so the camp ground ablutions was used and not cleaned. No sanitizing stations were available at the ablutions as per Covid 19 regulations needless to say that the 150 people that attended the wedding at the camp site a day after the new level 3 was announced. I would not recommend this camp ground to anyone, the blatant false advertising is disappointing. We ended up leaving 3 days earlier than planned due to all of the above. In addition the camp manager indicated that she is aware of the false advertisement and verbally communicated that the owner will not change the false advertisement on the websites.
I will wholeheartedly recommend Magoebaskloof Camping Sites. I would just like to spend more time there the next time I go.
Kettle would be very nice if it was possible, not a gas kettle. Very good that music stopped by itself around 11:00 without us having to ask each other as campers. Each campsite naturally respected each other. Very nice. Receptionist was great. Even helped us set up camp at night when reception's brother saw us struggling a bit at night. Exceptionally good service.
Nice campsite, clean bathrooms but lots of work activities at wedding hall.
I would not recommend for regular cars with caravan, but rather for 4x4 vehicles.
Beautiful scenery. Ablution not up to standard.
We had a lovely relaxing time, but unfortunately we were only there for two nights and had to get back to the concrete jungle.
It's a lovely place that has unfortunately become more of a wedding venue. Cute little kitchen. Camp is tidy but bathrooms not serviced over the 4 days. Beth is very friendly and helpful. Ladies shower clogged and there is only one. Nevertheless, wonderful camping and hiking. Road not suitable for ordinary caravans.
Peaceful, quiet, and breathtakingly beautiful. Enjoy every moment.
Nature incredibly beautiful, but the resort is not maintained and the camping area is significantly smaller than in the photos. It must also be clearly stipulated that the access road is a 4x4 route.
The road from the tarmac is almost impassable for an ordinary sedan car. A four wheel drive vehicle is required. The campground is nice, but the owners are upgrading to a wedding venue. If attention is paid to the road and the improvement is completed it could be a great weekend getaway. There is no swimming pool.
We expected to find a campsite as in the photo, but instead there was a construction site going on. The building is a wedding hall. That's practically the entire width of the view. After we complained, the hostess let us stay in her log house for 2 of our 4 nights. It was worth it and beautiful. I would advise that you find out if there is a wedding on before you book. My opinion is that one will not be able to camp while there is a wedding going on.
Very nice place and Beth is a winner!
Would recommend they put in a pool.
If you want to rest and enjoy nature, every moment will be appreciated.
However, it should be made very clear to the prospective visitor that it has 4x4 access. Otherwise perfect.
