Very friendly, neat camp.
We had a fantastic time! Will recommend it to anyone that loves getting back into nature.
Dear staff of Nature's Valley - my family and I enjoyed a great time while camping/lodging at NV Rest Camp!!Thanks for good services rendered to us during our stay!!Suzette
We had a great time in Natures valley rest camp. The staff is friendly, the bedding clean and the setting is ideal when you want to rough it up a bit.
Stayed in the forest huts. Accommodation was very affordable. Facilities were very well maintained and very comfortable. The park itself was an amazing location. Beautiful and full of activities.
The camp is situated in an incredibly beautiful part of the valley. The facilities are clean. Watch out for baboons raiding by not leaving food out........Stunning walks, rides, runs and canoeing. Try supporting the Covie community by running, walking or cycling their rustic trail.
It was a wonderful experience. The facilities are of a high standard. Lots of birds and other creatures to admire. We will visit again and advise our friends to visit the park as well.
This camp is so perfect. I would not want them to change anything. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The place is so beautifully kept.
Even though it rained the whole weekend we had a very enjoyable time - excellent ablutions - cleanliness & general mangement of campsite was very good
My wifeand I and our two daughters aged 10 and 6 had a great time except for the baboons. My girls are terrified of baboons cos they (baboons) entered our tent, destroyed our kitchen, stole our food and all of this happened while the girls were in the tent. The facilities - excellent. The staff extremely friendly and they tried to get the baboons away.
It was a short great stay-I can not say anything negative-clean and quite camp!Thanks
Amazing secluded spot. At night we saw genets and a bush pig. In the day baboons and a Knysna Loerie! Rowing to the beach and breathtaking hikes were highlights

I went away to Nature's Valley for a month and it was magical. I took my Mom away with me and family and friends popped up for a few days here and there to join us too. Everybody really enjoyed it.The accommodation was very unassuming, a quaint forest hut on the edge of the river covered by a forest canopy. With fresh air, and a really moderate, pleasant climate made for a very pleasant stay. One of my intentions of staying in Nature's Valley was to escape the Cape Town hayfever I inevitably get every year. I am pleased to report that there was absolutely no hayfever whatsoever during the stay!A massive plus for me is that I was able to work while I was there - the 3G reception is, believe it or not, exceptional. To be able to stay in an unassuming forest hut, on the side of a beautiful river, in the middle of a forest, while being able to browse the internet! Magic.There are canoes at the camp which you can hire out and take down the river as far as the mouth. From the mouth you can take a walk on the beach or branch off onto one of a few wilderness trails. There is one quick 20min trail, in particular, which takes you to a lookout point with a spectacular view of the sea, river, and both sides of the valley which the hill/mountain separates. For more of a workout, the lengthier trails are also exquisite taking you deep into the forest.We were visited by a few animals during our stay! A genet would come into the cabin from time to time at night. A bush pig who we named "Wilbur" scrummaged around outside on a few occasions, "inhaling" food rather than eating it haha. And we were visited by baboons twice who were so cheeky they came into the cabin and stole food from under our nose. It was quite riveting, except I had heard that when visited by a baboon in close quarters it's best to keep still, leave them be and not look them in the eyes!I will definitely return to Nature's Valley soon, though there a few other SA National Parks on my checklist which I would like to experience first. I would highly recommend this camp to anybody.
Very Quaint and comfortable.
Sadly we arrived when it was dark and had to leave early the next morning so it was a very brief stay in the forest hut (we went on to stay the other end of Storms River mouth in an oceanette which we highly recommend). The forest hut was great, just by a pond and lots of privacy - basic but it had all we needed. Shame we didnt have longer. Staff in the park were very friendly and helpful & it was awesome to see baboons as we walked back from the bathroom! (Chris & Rose)
