Caravan Rental near Nature's Valley
Nature's Valley is the Garden Route at its most untouched — indigenous forest right down to the beach, the Groot River winding through the campsite, and none of the commercial noise you get in Plett or Knysna. The rest camp sits on the river banks under massive yellowwood trees, and you can kayak upstream into the gorge straight from your campsite. It's also where the famous Otter Trail ends, so don't be surprised to see tired hikers stumbling onto the beach. Rent a camper on Kampi and come here for the kind of quiet that actually recharges you.
About Nature's Valley Rest Camp
Nature's Valley is part of the Garden Route National Park (Tsitsikamma section) and the setting is hard to beat. The beach is wild and usually empty, the lagoon is safe for swimming and kayaking, and the forest walks connect you to massive old-growth trees. The Salt River Mouth trail is an easy walk with great birding. Storms River Mouth is about 20 minutes east for the famous suspension bridges. Bloukrans Bungee — the world's highest commercial bridge bungee — is 15 minutes up the N2. Plettenberg Bay is 30 minutes west for supplies, restaurants, and Robberg Peninsula. This is a place for people who want nature, not nightlife.
