Do
Go hiking! There are a number of trails starting at the campsite. The best known is the Otter Trail. This trail must be walked over a few days. You have to reserve first (do so many month in advance!) and bring your own food, sleeping bags, tents... on the trail. It is not always easy to walk, but can be managed, if you are not sick or overly afraid.
There is also a long free-hanging bridge to the east of the camp. It is called Storms River Bridge, because it crosses the Storms River. It can often be seen on photographs, advertising the Tsitsikamma.
Buy
A small shop in the park offers some groceries.
Eat & Drink
There is a restaurant within the park.
Sleep
There is a camp in the Tsitsikamma. It offers many chalets, lovely campsites, a restaurant and a shop. Be sure to book a chalet before you arrive, especially during high-season.
Get out
