Steepside Guest Farm, Camping Site near Rhodes

Description

Steepside Guest Farm is owned by Kobus and Karen Buitendag. The farm is situated half-way between Barkly East and Rhodes in the picturesque Southern Drakensberg.

Steepside now also offers a campsite for the more adventurous folk. The campsite has 2 ablution blocks with toilets, warm-water showers and washing basins. There is no electricity at the campsite, but deep freezes at the main house will be available to store spoilables.

During the winter, the Tiffendell ski-resort is a mere 50km away from the farm.
