SANParks Elandsberg Wilderness Camp is located in the Tankwa Karoo National Park. The magnificent Tankwa Karoo National Park straddles the border of the Northern and Western Cape provinces, with the Roggeveld escarpment to the east, Cederberg to the west, and Klein Roggeveld Mountains to the south.

These isolated and romantic Elandsberg Cottages are situated 18 km away from the Park Reception at Roodewerf, in the hills known as Elandsberg. Each cottage has an en-suite bathroom, a kitchen with a 2-plate gas stove, a solar-powered fridge, cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils, paraffin lamps, and candles, and a living room with a sleeper couch and a fireplace. Outside, there is a covered patio with a splash pool, sun loungers, outdoor dining furniture, and built-in braai facilities.

The rustic design of the cottages gives the visitor a true nature experience, topped with a striking evening sunset over the Roogeveld escarpment. Each cottage boasts beautiful views of the Karoo plains and the imposing Roggeveld Escarpment. The cottages are spaced far enough from each other maintaining privacy, yet close enough for groups to book different cottages together.

By the use of the locally made unbaked clay-and-straw bricks with sections of walls built with rock, a bygone era is evoked, one of simpler times. Examples of this building method can also be found in the many ruins within the park.

"Adventurous."

Our accommodation was perfectly located in the Park with a beautiful view. What would make our holiday better is to be better informed by Reception about the following: There is no reception in and around the Park, although there is Wi-Fi at Reception. One can also buy (very good!) wood at Reception. It is a 20 km drive to reception (one way). The roads around and in the Park are currently washed out in places and would recommend that you tackle it with at least a 2x4 vehicle. We even had to turn around with a 4x4 vehicle on several occasions because it was not possible to continue driving. It also takes a lot longer to get from one point to the next and you have to plan for it. It would help a lot if Reception could indicate on our arrival which roads are not accessible. The bridge between Tankwa and Calvinia is washed out and not accessible at all (even with a capable 4x4 vehicle) despite Reception still indicating that you can get to Calvinia by road. Middelpos has been without fuel for over a year, despite being listed as one of the closest places to get fuel. Apparently Gannaga Lodge has a fuel tank, but we only found out later and cannot confirm that this is the case. We drank the tap water without problems, but would recommend taking your own water if you are not used to the taste. The unit was equipped with everything we needed! There are solar panels so electricity was not a problem. Definitely pack binoculars and bird book! And research the wildlife ahead of time because there is no catch, and there is a lot of interesting wildlife that you will want to know more about.
