Ymansdam is situated near the Tankwa Karoo National Park at the foot of the Roggeveld Mountain, about an hour's drive from Calvinia.

Guests can choose between four campsites that also have ablution facilities. Please note that tents are not provided and guests have to bring their own. At night guests can relax around the camp fire and look up at the starry skies while enjoying the unbelievable fresh air so akin to the Karoo.

Ymansdam also has a fully equipped self-catering Cottage that is ideal for two or three people. The Cottage has an en-suite bathroom, open-plan kitchen and lounge as well as a veranda with a fireplace and a splash pool.

Visit Ymansdam and taste, experience and smell the lovely Karoo.

Please note that various facilities and services are available on the premises. These include purchasing wood, braai areas under trees, meals by arrangement, outside ablution facilities and a warm shower. We also have a farm dam and hiking trails, walking, biking, 4 x 4 trails, bicycle touring and birdwatching are some of the activities to partake is as well as donkey cart rides are available by appointment.

Perfect spot to do basic camping in quiet karoo surroundings by

PRO'S
1. Perfect spot to do basic camping in quiet karoo surroundings.
2. No cellphone coverage!
CON's
1. Water drips on you when sitting on the loo.
2. The campsite was swept and cleaned, but there were floaters in the loo.
3. Complicated 'donkey' and tap arrangement for anyone to operate who is not technically (plumbing) minded. Some instruction on-site would be good.
4. SMS'd ahead to inquire about a braai grid and was told there was one on site. There wasn't, and had to ride back to farmhouse to fetch one.
5. Although we used an entire bundle of wood to heat the donkey, the water was barely lukewarm.
6. No potable water. A warning about this would be good. We travel on a motorcycle and cannot carry much with us.


The remoteness by

I think this is a brilliant place. I wish I could have stayed my 2 nights but I was running behind. I will most definitely be back with my 2 and a half year old son when he turns 4. Worth the trip


Privacy by

We arrived at 7pm, were greeted at the gate and told that sorry, the "donkey" providing hot water was out of order but that they have put a container with water in the camp area. It is winter, month of July! They offered that we may use their shower in their house the next morning. Not acceptable. Also the bush toilet was out of order. Please do not advertise what you can not provide. Will definitely not go there again. Better to sleep beside the road.


Getting out as soon as we could by

The location is stunning, but we arrived at 1730 the person ( query the owner) who accepted the balance of our money pointed to a gate we should go through. We followed a track to a site. The toilet had no water, the donkey wasn't working. There was a 20litre container of water in the boma/site, tap was dry. We had travelled from East London and were bitterly disappointed, it certainly wasn't what one would expect for that price. We decided to leave the following morning in disgust and write off the monies paid for a second day. This trip with my 80year-old mother and 84 year-old father, to see the west coast has started with a bad experience. My parents have camped in the Zambezi valley and Mozambique and say this for the money paid is the worst they have seen.
