“Good clean campsite and ablutions, plenty hot water and clean toilets. No sign of reported vandalism and vagrancy.” - Donald Pittendrigh, 2009/08/14

“Hippo Pools was a good experience for us. The pools and camping area are very beautiful. The ablutions were not bad. Staff did our washing for a good price. <a href="http://www.linx.co.za/tripreports/hippopoolscamp/index.php" target="_blank">Read a Trip Report to Hippo Pools camp</a>” - Pieter Theron, 2009/03/02

“Sometimes there is no water available, since they didn't pay their bill. So ask at the reception and if you intend to stay longer, you should consider paying the water bill.” - Unknown Wagner, 2008/07/29
