Comments [ leave a comment ]

“We camped here in September 2013. The campsite is large and neat and renovations were being done. The ablution was old but clean with hot water and power points available. The Ruins are exquisite, especially early morning. The place has a mystical, ancient feel to it. The museum is a highlight.” - Mietsie Visser, 2013/10/08

“This campsite is well maintained with the minimum funds, with armed guard at night. When you visit the ruins do pay for a guide otherwise you will never here all the facts(or stories) about the ruins. Definitely worth a visit.” - Deon Kotze, 2010/02/21
