Cobham Campsite
Cobham Campsite
Cobham Campsite sits within the southern Maloti-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site, near the small town of Himeville in KwaZulu-Natal, roughly 150 km from Pietermaritzburg.
The rustic open camping area allows tents and caravans anywhere within designated limits, with a small ablution block offering hot showers and toilets. The site is operated by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and has no electrical plug points.
The campsite serves as a key trailhead for the southern Drakensberg, with well-marked paths leading up the Pholela River valley to destinations such as Pholela Cave, Spectacle Cave, and routes onto the escarpment via Masubasuba, Minaret, and Amakehla passes.
The Pholela River, flowing directly through the reserve, is regarded as one of South Africa's premier trout streams, holding self-sustaining wild rainbow and brown trout in clear, pool-studded water.
