Go! Drive & Camp

Have fun yet relax in the Bushveld

The Magaliesberg runs like a boundary between the Rand and the Bushveld. On the southern side of the range are the gold mines of the Witwatersrand, while on the other side is where you’ll find another kind of gold: some of the most popular camping sites in the country.

ATKV Buffelspoort, tucked right up under the Magaliesberg, is one such golden resort. Located just outside Mooinooi, the resort features just about every form of family fun you can imagine – from a waterslide and Jacuzzis to large resort-sized indoor and heated swimming pools as well as plenty of stands.

A mere 53 km away, at Rust Oord Bushveld Camp, the pace is a lot more laid back. As the name of this new resort suggests (translated from Dutch as “rest resort” or “tranquil resort”), the owners are committed to relaxation. You will be at home on one of just 18 stands, surrounded by the Bushveld, and this is the perfect spot to take some time out, get back to nature and forget about the stresses of everyday life.
