De Voetpadkloof

What an awesome place. The road from JHB was good all the way, and the access road from the main road to camp was gravel, but fine. There is so much to do here, and the alternate accommodation looks great. They offer an awesome pensioners discount and next time we are bringing friends, and are going to stay in the Luxury Log cabins due to the fantastic value for money they offer. ...not that the camp sites are not good value too! We went on two great hikes. Recommend the one to the waterfall which is 4km long there and back. A little bit of rock climbing but not a problem if you are of average fitness. They have a great shop on site and one of the better enclosed hot pools.The staff were great, and we enjoyed the game drive @ R70 pp!! There are three resident Klipspringers in the camp. I have never been so close to a klipspringer!

What an awesome resort. Keep in mind that we are new to this camping scene and are still learning the ins and outs. We thus find it a little difficult to rate resorts due to not knowing what other resorts offer. BUT... De Voetpadkloof is simply awesome. The booking of the site was easy and painless. Signing in was friendly and painless. The price was affordable if not a little lower than what we were expecting. Pleasantly surprised with the pricing in fact. As we went midweek, we were expecting to be one of a few campers, but again we were surprised by the popularity of the resort, and it was clear to see why. The ablutions where clean at all times. Even smelt nice. The water was hot and plentiful. Always hand soap and toilet paper available. The sites are neat and paved. Well shaded with electricity, braai and bins per site. Although we never had a tap on our site, one was situated close by and offered no inconvenience at all. Bins were emptied every morning and the braai was cleaned. The staff was some of the friendliest I have come across and not shy to give you a smile and a wave. Leisure and facilities are a major plus point and there is more than enough to keep young and old busy for any length of stay. To name a few activities, and I may miss a few, there is a waterpark with slip n slides, Hot - warm - cold and kiddies pools, putt putt, game drives, zip lines, paint ball, hikes, fishing and bird watching. One could even spend some time just relaxing at the tea garden or pub. (I nearly forgot the kiddies play parks). I am not up to date with my buck species but believe that I saw more than six different species just driving in and out of the resort. There was also zebra to be seen as well as nagapies jumping from limb to limb of the trees. Beautiful blue headed lizards came to visit and more birds than you can imagine. There is a shop with a little bottle store. You will be surprised at what they stock. It may be slightly more expensive than your local supermarket, but it is a convenience store and will save you when you need it. At no time did I feel unsafe at all. In fact, I normally lock everything away at night when camping. Here it never felt necessary, and I left my site unattended for extended periods only to return to find that nothing had been moved. The general atmosphere was lovely. Friendly campers of all ages greeting and chatting. Lots of laughter emitting from the pool and play areas. Parents playing with their toddlers and couples sitting peaceful on their sites just observing those around them. Awesome value for money, and not only will I return, but I would also be proud to introduce this resort to my family and friends. I look forward to being able to take my Granddaughter with some day. Me being a GOF, there were a few things that caught my attention, so I feel that I need to add a few things that never went 100% according to expectations. The water in the dam was not warm enough for the fish to be active and my wife caught a kurper where I did not have a bite. This is unacceptable. The SoftServe machine was not available and although I understand why, I felt I missed a treat. The toilet paper is only single ply. Now if you can live with those negatives, there is no reason for you not to visit.

Dear All We have joined our children as part of their church weekend. Overall experience was 8/10. The 4km gravel road to reception is well maintained and can be traveled with any caravan. Staff are friendly and always willing to assist, from setting up your tent to blowing out an gas oriface. Facilities are well kept and kept neat at all times, even if the park is full as per the weekend when we stayed. One aspect to kept in mind, especially if you are a first time visitor and because stand are allocated, is to make you wishes known upfront, and the park management will accommodate you as far as possible. One negative aspect was a group partying until 3am in the morning, disturbing the whole camp. Although Management reacted to several complaints it took them as said until 3am to sort it out and they should have reacted stronger the first time around. The rest of the weekend was without these incident. As said initially, an enjoyable experience with our children and grandchildren in a well maintained park with nice / leveled camping sites and lots of activities to keep everyone busy if you wish to, otherwise just enjoy the camping.

Toegangs roete tot die oord is goeie teerpad. Vanaf die ingangshek tot by staanplek is dit seker so 2-3 km goeie grondpad wat gemaklik met n pad karavaan gedoen kan word. Toegang tot oord word verkry via n hek kode wat deurgegee word tydens bespreking. Die ontspanning wat oord bied is vir oud en jonk. Die oord het verskeie voetslaan en fietsry roetes wat hulle aanbied. Die voetslaan roetes is gemerk vanaf maklik tot gemiddeld tot moeilik en in afstande van 1,5km tot 9.5km. Fietsry roetes is dieselfde moeilikheids grade gemerk en is afstande vanaf 4km tot 11km roetes. Ons het egter net die staproetes gedoen. Daar is paar pragtige uitkyk punte op die roetes, so moet nie kamera vergeet nie. Die meoilike roete was die "Die Kuil" wat ons nie kon klaarmaak nie....bang gewees vir die ketting leer, maar is besis hoog aanbeveelbaar om net gedeeltelik te doen om daai ongelooflike mooi kloof te sien.....fotos kan nie die mooiigheid beskryf nie......asemrowend. Die ander roetes met uitsig vanaf bo die berge is net so mooi....pragtig die skepping. Die oord bied ook wildsbesigtings toere aan vanf hul voertuie teen n baie billike tarief. Klomp kampeerders het hulself geniet om die dam met hul hengel toerusting. Hengel word op "catch and relaease" basis gedoen.Daar is n heerlike waterpark met n supertube en klomp speed slides. Dit was winter, maar tog was daar paar kinders wat die koue water trotseer het. Wat baie populer was, was die Ziplines wat van die berg koppies af beweeg. Kayakke en fietse kan gehuur word by die kantoor. Daar is 2 groot buite swembaddens waarvan die een verhit is en dan n pragtige onderdak warmwater swembad wat dwarsdeur die naweek baie populer was. Ons het die 9-baan Putt-putt baie geniet...sommer 3x gespeel. Alle fasiliteite was netjies en skoon gewees. Die personeel van oord was baie vriendelik gewees....ontvangs, skoonmakers, winkel, instandhouding en bestuur was altyd gereed met n vriendelike groet. Ablusies was n plesier om te gebruik en was deurgaans skoon gewees. Stort hokke is lekker ruim. Ons het deurgaans veilig gevoel. Die winkel op perseel het al die basiese benodighede beskikbaar gehad....sorg egter dat jy vleis saam neem, het nie vleis in winkel gesien nie. Hulle het ook n drankwinkel op oord wat baie goeie voorraad aangehou het. Die teetuin het gesorg vir lekker ontbyte, hamburgers, toebroodjies en die heerlikste chips. Aangrensend aan tee tuin is n bar waar die volwassenes lekker saam gekuier het en ook die rugby Saterdag aand gekyk het. Die atmosfeer was deurgaans heerlik gewees met vriendelike medekampeerders wat ook altyd reggestaan het vir n groet of vinnige geselsie. Alle staanplekke het plaveisel en is goed afgemerk met muurtjies en duidelik genommer....hoofsaaklik terasse. Ek voel ons het baie goeie waarde vir ons geld gekry. Daar is ander aantreklikhede in omgewing, maar ons het nie daarvan gebruik gemaak nie aangesien oord genoeg bied. Hulle is tans besig om n kuierplek in die veld te maak vir funksies....baie interesant a die oudhede wat gebruik word vir decor. Daar is ook boskampe beskikbaar....1x met krag en die ander sonder krag, maar het water en ablusies beskikbaar....en eie swembad om af te koel in warm somers dae.Vir diê wat verkies om nie te kamp nie....daar is lekker verskeidenheid van alternatiewe verblyf: daar is safari tent huise, log cabins, Berg tenthuise en chalets. Ek kan hierdie oord met ope hart aan mede kampeerder aanbeveel en glo jul sal net so n lekker tyd as ons ervaar, maar probeer om bietjie langer as net n naweek te gaan....daars te veel om te doen. Ek sien reeds uit na my volgende besoek hier!
