Roodekoppies Dam is on the Crocodile River about 30 km north of Brits. It's a fishing and birding destination first, with several private resorts along the shore offering caravan stands. Dennekruin Fishing Resort has stands on the water's edge, and Roodekoppies Hengeloord has powered and unpowered sites. Nearly 250 bird species have been recorded around the dam, and the fishing (barbel, bass, carp) pulls anglers from across Gauteng.
Several resorts operate around Roodekoppies Dam. Dennekruin Fishing Resort has 23 fishing swims, glamping cabins, and camping sites right on the water. Roodekoppies Hengeloord has stands with and without electricity and charges a daily access fee. The dam is a top spot for freshwater fishing, particularly barbel, bass, and carp. With 249 recorded bird species, it's also a serious birding location. The Crocodile River setting is peaceful and the bushveld scenery makes for a quiet weekend. Hartbeespoort Dam is further south for water sports and restaurants. Pilanesberg National Park and Sun City are within an hour's drive for day trips.
