TRAVELLER FEEDBACK:
Reportedly a nice camp in this area, and inside the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (the St Lucia Wetland Park). 2 to 3 days of camping and exploring here is ample. (Jan 2015).
Try to avoid this area in peak season. Samango monkeys and Bush pigs can be a nuisance. Lock away all food as well as refuse.
