Leokop

Leokop is one of two electrified camping areas within Chelmsford Nature Reserve, situated on the shores of Ntshingwayo Dam in northern KwaZulu-Natal, roughly 30 kilometres south of Newcastle. The reserve is managed by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife.

Each campsite at Leokop accommodates a maximum of six people and includes braai facilities and an electrical plug point, with the exception of six sites. A communal ablution block with hot and cold water serves the camp.

The campsite is well maintained and sits within a reserve that has been operating since 1975. Visitors to the area can take advantage of a wide range of outdoor activities, including boating, sailing, fishing, cycling, hiking, birdwatching, and game viewing.

Ntshingwayo Dam is a noted fishing destination, with carp, barbel, and scalies among the most commonly caught species.
