Excited to launch the Oriole Camp site – small, private camp site on the Eastern edge of Harkerville forest, 4.5km North off the N2 – between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna. 14km from Plettenberg Bay and 16km from Knysna.

Surrounded on the N, W and S boundaries by SANPARKS/Harkerville forest, this is a paradise!

The Quteniqua Hiking trail is less than 1km away with the various Harkeville Mtb trails on the doorstep. Pristine indigenous forest, with Bushbuck, Bush pigs, Genet, Caracal amongst the fauna and rich in birdlife – Turaco [Lourie], Wood Owls, Grey Cuckoo Shrike, Southern Boubou, Black-headed Oriole, Chorister Robin Chats, Red-billed Wood Hoopoe amongst the varied bird species we witness daily on our walks or trail runs.

SANPARKS activity permits are available from the Garden of Eden or Harkerville offices – Wild Cards are valid for hiking and trail running.

We aim at trail runners, mountain bikers, hikers, bird watchers, paddlers [Keurbooms River Lagoon, Knysna Lagoon and Buffelsbay] and Nature lovers in general.

There are 2 x 3.6m x 3.6m decks and a lekker fire pit/braai place. In about 2 weeks’ time, there will also be a protected roof cover over both decks – helps keeping your stuff dry on a rainy day.

No loud music, though – the sounds of the forest might be all that you need.

Lockable Ablutions > Hot/cold shower, wc, basin and outside washing up basin.
