Description

Immerse yourself in the deep tranquility of an unspoiled coastal forest at Futululu Forest, a unique and beautiful sanctuary for nature lovers. This is not just a campsite; it is a genuine forest experience, a place where you can relax, unwind, and feel completely enveloped by the lush, sub-tropical vegetation. The atmosphere is one of profound peace, with the sounds of the forest, the calls of rare birds, the hum of insects, and the rustle of leaves, creating a soothing and ever-present soundtrack to your stay.

The resort's location is simply unparalleled, making it the perfect base camp for exploring the region's incredible natural treasures. Situated just 17 kilometers from the vibrant town of St. Lucia, and a manageable 50 kilometers from the world-renowned Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve, you are perfectly positioned for adventure. Futululu serves as your private gateway to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a unique World Heritage Site. You can easily embark on unforgettable day trips to spot the Big Five, explore the pristine beaches of Cape Vidal, or take a hippo and croc cruise on the St. Lucia estuary.

After a day of adventure, the intimate and peaceful campsite welcomes you back. With a limited number of sites, the experience is wonderfully personal and uncrowded. Each site is a self-contained hub of convenience, thoughtfully equipped with its own plug point, a private water tap, and a dedicated braai area. These are all supported by clean communal toilet and shower facilities. For groups with varied preferences, the resort also offers self-catering chalets and backpacker-style rooms, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect forest retreat.

Thank you so much Futululu for the last minute slot to allow us to come camp at your beautiful facilities.
Upon arrival we were immediately relaxed and excited so we extended our stay by another 2 nights.
Our 2 children were instantly happy and excited to venture around your property, where our 5 year old did your obstacle course over and over again.

What started off as a horrible experience at our first accommodation facility, you truly changed it around for us for the last 3 nights we spent on holiday.

What a gem you have.
We will definitely be back for a longer holiday in one of the school holidays in the future.

excellent service and atmosphere. Clean room, stunning views, and the property is situated in a convenient location, close to all local amenities. Our stay at futululu was an unforgettable experience; the rooms were spacious and clean, with amazing views.

This place was awesome for the family! A great advantage for me was that the place doesn't have wild animals like other parts of St. Lucia. Also super affordable! Stargazing, rest and relaxation. Physical activity for all levels of fitness. We stayed at the environmental centre chalets, it had everything we needed. The host is sweet and kind. Innumerable tourist attractions nearby.

Warning:

Water is not the cleanest so carry drinking water.

Visited the caravan park twice. Once on my trip from Gauteng to KZN and the second time on my way back. The road down to the resort is a bit rough but short. Very peaceful and quiet. Very rustic and I feel it needs some work. This is an environmental centre so there are groups. My first visit it seemed to be a team building and the second was a school group. Strict noise rules so not problem. There are the 2 horses which wander around, the owners/managers have dogs but control them and some chickens. I saw monkeys (none aggressive), guineafowl and a small buck which moved so quickly I could not identify it.
