Dullstroom on the Dam

Perched on the edge of the scenic Dullstroom Dam, this destination offers a refreshing high-altitude escape in one of South Africa’s most famous fly-fishing hubs. The atmosphere is defined by the crisp mountain air and the misty mornings that frequently blanket the Steenkampsberg Mountains. It is a place where the pace of life slows down to the rhythm of a casting line, making it a premier choice for those who find peace at the water's edge or enjoy the cozy, alpine charm of the nearby village.

The resort features a generous number of stands, thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the tranquil waterside views. The sites are well-maintained with soft grass underfoot, providing a comfortable base for caravans, trailers, or tents. Each stand is equipped with a standard electrical point and a braai area, ensuring all the essentials for a classic South African camping experience are at hand. The communal ablution facilities are clean and practical, offering the necessary warmth and comfort required for those chilly Mpumalanga nights.

Activity revolves largely around the water, with the dam being well-stocked for trout fishing. Whether you are an experienced angler or a novice looking to try your hand at the sport, the accessibility of the shoreline is a major draw. For those who prefer land-based exploration, the surrounding area is perfect for gentle walks or more vigorous birdwatching. After a day of outdoor activity, the proximity to the town’s quaint coffee shops and local breweries adds a unique layer of convenience to this highveld retreat.
