Henk Van Rooyen Park — Hotel in Nkomazi

Henk Van Rooyen Campsites....

So, we booked for 5 nights at Henk van Rooyen, in Marloth Park.

So, it's a bit of mixed emotions.

Stands are lovely, especially the river front camping stands, the view over the Crocodile river is magical, as loads of wildlife pass by.

Stands are paved, covered with shade netting , has 2 power outlets, a braai with a grid and a tap.

Braais & bins are cleaned daily.

All works great for our camping setup, nothing wow, very very standard, but acceptable. No issues with the stands, we had a great stand with wonderful wildlife sightings right from our chairs.

The rates charged are quiet expensive vs other campsites, fair enough, in season and river front view, lets use that as the reason the rates are what they are.

So my issue is with the ablution facilities, male and female are shockingly unacceptable- pathetic to say the least.

As a paying customer one would expect a bit more cleanliness and well kept facilities in the ablutions- especially taking into consideration the rates charged and paid.

The bathrooms are very outdated and small, although serviced in the mornings with clean floors and mirrors, the tiles in the showers appear to still look dirty with mould.

No access available for physically impaired individuals, with damaged tiles and sinks which are hazardous to even those that are physically capable of maneuvering around in the small spaces.

There is also a lack of space to keep ones clothes and towels dry, with limited hooks on each door- a broken plastic stool on the floor to try and keep your belongings dry during the shower. We would've preferred a shower door, or even a more practical/durable shower curtain.

The bathrooms are definitely not up to standard of the expected camping facilities available in the Low Veld, or what you would expect from an

otherwise well kept facility and grounds of Henk van Rooyen Park.

I was reluctant to book reading the most recent reviews regarding the ablutions. Well we decided to take a chance and camp as a stop over to Mozambique. From phoning to book to reception and departure, friendly efficient service. Really made us feel welcome. The stands are lovely and we enjoyed the view with everything you need - tap, electricity, braai, shade and paved area. The ablutions were sparkling clean. The worst they can be accused of is that the decor may be outdated. The building appears to be old but we'll maintained and I certainly don't expect the latest is bathroom fashion when camping. Agree ablutions not accessible to the physically impaired. The rates are fair given the setting and available facilities. Lovely pool. We only had a beer at the restaurant but having a look at the menu, prices looks...

The views over the Crocodile river and Kruger National Park is unmatched for any camping grounds.

There are a lot of animal activity throughout the day like - Elephants, Hippos, Crocodile, Lion, Buffalo, Leopard, Kudu, Waterbuck, large variety of birds , fish etc...

The sunsets are amazing and this is a very photogenic site with amazing views

The pool and shop area is big with a lot of picnic spots and sunbathing spots.

Braai areas are perfect. Bathrooms are clean and tidy. Swimming pool is always in a great condition The tennis court is well maintained Great restaurant on site

Perfect for family or couple getaways

Beware of snakes and wildlife Malaria red zone

Overall great place, perfect for kids and elderly.

Gated with 24/7 security.

Best camping...
