Nagle Dam Nature Reserve sits in the Valley of a Thousand Hills, nestled in the foothills of KwaZulu-Natal's Table Mountain, less than an hour's drive from both Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

The reserve is managed by Msinsi Holdings and borders the Umgeni River and the main dam, offering a bushveld setting with thornveld vegetation and wildlife, including fish eagles.

Camping areas are unmarked, allowing visitors to pitch tents close to or further from the water's edge.

The reserve offers two main camping and picnic areas: a riverside spot along the Umgeni River with ablutions and braai facilities, popular with anglers, and a main site on the dam's edge with male and female ablutions and hot showers.

Activities include overnight fishing, canoeing, and boating.
