Situated in the uMgungundlovu district, Nottingham Road offers 1 campsite. uMgungundlovu is a district located in the central interior of the KwaZulu-Natal province. The landscape is characterised by a series of rolling, fertile hills, high-altitude grasslands, and deep river valleys that lead toward the base of the mountains. The regional economy is primarily driven by academic and administrative services, commercial agriculture, and extensive forestry, functioning alongside a growing tourism sector. The natural environment features major dams, indigenous forest patches, and diverse botanical reserves. These geographic attributes provide accessible environments for inland water sports, hiking, and exploring the scenic rural landscapes that define the central heartland of the province.
The province of KwaZulu-Natal offers a vast range of camping environments stretching from the warm Indian Ocean to the high-altitude peaks of the Drakensberg. Along the eastern seaboard, campers can pitch tents in dense, subtropical coastal dune forests just steps from the beach. Further inland, the Midlands region provides cool, misty conditions with grassy waterside sites and farm-style camping. In the north, the terrain flattens into expansive savanna and wetland systems, where off-grid bush camps border major wildlife reserves. The western boundary is defined by steep basalt mountain cliffs, offering rugged, remote campsites that experience freezing winter temperatures and occasional snow. This diverse geography allows campers to easily transition from humid, sea-level coastal sites to challenging alpine overland routes.

Discover the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands at Glensheiling, a true country resort nestled within the famous Midlands Meander, just a short drive from Nottingham Road. This is not just a place to park your caravan; it’s an invitation to experience a peaceful, farm-style retreat where you can reconnect with nature and family. The resort offers approximately 30 spacious, grassed campsites with electrical points, providing a comfortable base for your adventures. The land itself tells stories; you can wander trails through indigenous forests, discover a stone hideout wall used during the Boer War, or see the very grooves in the stream where Zulu warriors once sharpened their spears. For keen anglers, the well-stocked bass dam is a major draw, while the boats and raft make it an irresistible swimming spot for the whole family. For children, Glensheiling is a paradise of old-fashioned adventure. Days are spent zipping down the adventurous "foofy slide," building secret forts in the pine forest, enjoying pony rides, or challenging the family to a game on the giant outdoor chessboard. While the kids play, parents can relax on the "Deck on the Dam," soaking up the sun and serene views, making it a perfectly balanced holiday for everyone.
