Ruah Camping is a small campsite located on a working table grape farm in the Hex River Valley, close to De Doorns. Experience the beauty of the mountains and streams in raw nature. The campsites are ideal for those with camping trailers, bush caravans or vehicles with higher ground clearance.

The campsites are grass-covered sites, some with shade, which overlook the river and have a view towards the valley as well. Each site has a braai area.

Campers have shared use of a communal ablution block with showers, toilets and washbasins.

While swimming is not allowed at the weir at the campsite or in the reservoir, there is a rock pool for swimming about a 5-minute walk on the trail. Campers can feel free to roam, jog, cycle around on the farm. There is a trail passing the swimming rock pool which is less used, but will take you to a San rock art site, and more pools.
