Situated 18km away from the Park Reception at Roodewerf, in the hills known as Elandsberg lies the very isolated Elandsberg Cottages. The Elandsberg Wilderness Camp was initiated in September 2006 and completed by April 2008. The rustic design of the cottage gives the visitor a true bushveld experience topped with a striking evening sunset over the Roogeveld escarpment.
