Cobham is one of our all time favourites. Lovely views, beautiful river close by, decent facilities and great hikes

Useful tip, when choosing a campsite, right at the bottom on the campsite there is a huge fallen over tree, on the other side of that tree, closest to the river, is the best campsite, on our opinion. Most people miss it, because it's not signposted. Great hikes, great campsites. Lovely spot.

Paradise

Underberg in general is a very special place. Cobham Campsite takes it to the next level. Situated on the river, with a big grass field with the back drop of the Southern Berg.
