Description

Urquhart Caravan and Camping Park is located just outside the historic town of Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Nestled beneath the Nqweba Dam wall and surrounded by views of the Camdeboo plains, the park offers easy access to town amenities while still providing a peaceful, natural atmosphere. Just a short drive (around 2 km) from the town centre and close to the renowned Valley of Desolation, the park is convenient for travellers coming off the N9 or exploring the region. Spacious shaded sites, grassy areas, and a large swimming pool make it an inviting spot for families, couples, and solo adventurers.

The park features both campsites and self-catering chalets, with electricity and well-maintained ablution facilities. Visitors can also enjoy picnicking, watch birdlife by the riverside, and reach shops, restaurants, and the local hospital in just a few minutes by car. Its friendly, laid-back environment and scenic surrounds create an ideal base for exploring the Karoo, or just relaxing next to the water.
