ELECTRICITY:
The camp has a few powerpoints, but we are unsure if they work. (April-18).

SHADE:
Only in summer, but not in winter, as the Mopani trees loose their leaves.

TRAVELLER FEEDBACK:
The campsite was renovated and ablution tiled and painted, clean and in working condition. (Apr-18).​ The chalets and lodge at Robins Camp have been leased to private operators who are busy with building and renovations. Camping with power points and hot water (donkey) is available, but construction work is very noisy in the daytime and campers are well advised to rather stay at the Deteema Picnic Site or Deteema Dam Camp hide. (May/Jun 2018)

WATER:
There was drinking water here in 2018.
