About the camping
Hlalanathi Drakensberg Resort - Family-friendly chalets with mountain views, outdoor pool, and Drakensberg hiking access
Set in Bergville in the Northern Drakensberg, this holiday park offers family rooms with private bathrooms, balconies, and garden views. Each chalet includes a kitchen, dining area, and modern amenities. The resort features a year-round outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, and a children's playground. Guests can dine at the on-site restaurant serving local cuisine in a family-friendly setting, or use the minimarket and coffee shop. Activities include fishing, hiking, and cycling, with scenic mountain views surrounding the property. According to guest reviews, chalet 10 has inconvenient parking, and some units overlook a tennis court rather than the mountains. The resort is located approximately 10 km (15 minutes by car) from Royal Natal National Park, providing access to trails such as the Tugela Gorge hike. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Hlalanathi Drakensberg Resort. The nearest restaurants include Tower of Pizza (1 km away) and The Thukela Bar (3 km away). Hlalanathi is close to Cannibals Cave parkrun, a 5 km running event held on Saturdays.
