Pet friendly out in the bush.

Only issue was the noisy trucks on the nearby road.

Great concept.

The concept is great with fenced-off camps and walking routes. The tables and braai in the camp were welcome. Fences could do with some maintenance, ours did not close. Photos indicate grass in fenced camps which is not the case, very dusty. I booked specifically for the grass. I didn't see the supposed security that roams Friday and Saturday. Only one ablution block which is quite the walk depending on where you camp. Some cobwebs could be cleared in the bathroom. Also note you must sign an indemnity form which is not indicated in the listing.

The Crooked Tree 's response

Hi Maddison-Lee,

Thank you for your feedback. We are always striving to be better.
I apologise for the grass shown on old photos, we are in the process of taking new photos since we are upgrading with new tables etc. We had grass previously but it deteriorated. Grass would be lovely but doesn't last. We are looking at other options for these areas.
The fences are going to change altogether, so this is on the cards for maintenance. We have also just levelled all the fenced off areas to make these stands more suitable for tents.
Signing an indemnity form is common practice at any camping ground.

Much Love and lots of wags,
The Crooked Tree

We enjoyed our stay, just wished there was a pool.

We enjoyed our stay, a pool would have been amazing, especially for the kids. The river swim is not too great for them. The fenced camps are great, but the fencing and gates could use some loving.

Clean venue, but.

The venue overall is clean, as were the ablutions, however, some of the amenities are in serious need of replacement because of termite-destroyed wood. There are only 2 ablutions and 2 sinks near the entrance for the entire venue. It also needs to be mentioned that the entrance road is not in good condition and only really suitable for SUVs as regular cars stand a very good chance of bottoming out really badly and taking damage. The road traffic noise at night is very noticeable, and despite the venue having a strict no music policy, it sounded like someone was having a disco nearby.

Heerlike stil area met oorgenoeg bome en privaatheid

Daar was warm water in die ablusie ten spyte van kragonderbrekings. Plek is skoon en netjies, mense is vriendelik. Ons het geen probleme ervaar nie. Die hoofroete wat daar langs verbyloop kan bietjie lawaaierig wees deur die nag. Neem alles wat nodig is saam aangesien daar nie 'n winkel naby blyk te wees nie.

Lovely quiet area with plenty of trees and privacy

There was hot water in the ablution despite power cuts. Place is clean and tidy, people are friendly. We experienced no problems. The main route that passes by can be a bit noisy at night. Take everything you need with you as there doesn't seem to be a store nearby.

Unieke wegbreek.

Die voordeel is vir seker die afstand van die huis af, en die feit dat die hondekinders kon saamgaan! Die kampplek is redelik goed versorg, en die badkamers netjies, alhoewel die watertemperatuur nie is wat mens van gas sal verwag nie. Die staproetes was teleurstellend, dit was swart moeras-modder. Die jonger honde was mal daaroor, die ouer honde en mense minder so. Daar is nie water naby aan die staanplekke nie, so neem 'n waterkan saam. Die water by die opwasarea is nie regtig warm genoeg om skottelgoed te kan was nie. Verwag ook redelike padgeraas (voertuie en trokke) deur die nag, maar dit word effens verdoesel deur die stroom langs jou. Slegs 4 of 5 van die kampplekke is privaat, so maak jou keuses mooi! Ons was gelukkig genoeg om een van hierdie te kry.

Unique getaway.

The advantage is for sure the distance from the house, and the fact that the dog children could go along! The campsite is quite well maintained, and the bathrooms tidy, although the water temperature is not what one would expect from gas. The hiking trails were disappointing, they were black swamp mud. The younger dogs loved it, the older dogs and people less so. There is no water near the pitches, so take a water jug with you. The water at the washing up area is not really hot enough to wash dishes. Also expect reasonable road noise (vehicles and trucks) through the night, but this is slightly masked by the stream next to you. Only 4 or 5 of the campsites are private, so make your choices carefully! We were lucky enough to get one of these.

It was nice

We arrived as confirmed on email. Set up camp. Bathrooms rustic and clean. I was just caught off guard when we were asked if payment and reservation had been made for our 2nd night.

Heerlik naby aan die natuur!

Die bospaadjies was die beste! Heerlike groot kampplekke.

Vreeslik raserig.

Plek is pragtig en die kampterrein is baie mooi, maar dit is ongelooflik raserig. Dit is 100 m van die R24 en mens hoor die heeltyd karre en trokke. Alhoewel die kampterrein geen musiek toelaat nie, het hulle bure nie dieselfde reëls nie en ons is wakker gehou deur baie harde musiek en geskree wat regdeur al twee aande wat ons daar was gehou het. Die klank was so naby, dit kon netsowel op dieselfde terrein gewees het. Ons kon glad nie slaap nie.

Terribly noisy.

Place is beautiful and the campsite is very nice, but it is incredibly noisy. It is 100 m from the R24 and you hear cars and trucks all the time. Although the campground doesn't allow any music, their neighbors don't have the same rules and we were kept awake by very loud music and yelling that continued throughout the two nights we were there. The sound was so close, it might as well have been on the same site. We couldn't sleep at all.

Lovely area and camp site.

Would be nice if there was a pool or area for fishing.
