Facing the spectacular sandstone hill, with the outcrop shaped as a camel's head (giving it it's name), is this tranquil farm with glorious views of the Maluti Mountains. Camelroc is situated between the two Caledon rivers and is close to Caledonspoort border post. Camelroc can definately be recommended as a good base from which to explore the Eastern Free State as well as Lesotho. For those who prefer to stay at base and relax, one can opt to take walks into the mountain, have a swim in the pool and braai beside the cottage whilst enjoying the serenity and splendour of this Eastern Free State countryside. There are diverse activities to be enjoyed and places to discover in the area.
Camelroc has seven chalets that are fully furnished and well equipped to self cater: Two cosy open plan chalets sleeping 2 to 3 guests; one small 2-bedroom chalet (double bed & bunk bed) sleeping a maximum of 4 guests; two 2-bedroomed chalets, sleeps 2 in each of the rooms, plus 2 on a sleeper couch in the lounge; one 3-bedroom 8 sleeper; and one 4-bedroom 8 sleeper.
In the main homestead one can be accommodated in the guest house's three en-suite rooms sleeping 2 each and tastefully decorated with Oregon pine furnishings. Please note, rooms in the main house are not equipped for self-catering.
Guests are welcome to enjoy the use of the thatched entertainment area around the pool or play table tennis on the patio. There is a netball ring in the garden and ample space to play ball games and volley ball.
The Guesthouse, built from traditional sandstone, has a fireplace in the lounge. All the bedrooms have heaters and electric blankets for the cold winter nights. The perfect halfway stop between the Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Come and enjoy this country stay with its beautiful views of the countryside, bird life, small game, rock art and the Poplar tree's turning in Autumn.
"All worked as advertised, chalets fully equipped, owners onsite, friendly and responsive. We have known about Camelroc for many years but this was our first stay - our kind of place, and we'll be back, DV."
"The house and view was exceptional.With electric blanket, under floor heating and fireplace this is the ideal place for the cold.Although it is very close to the border it is very quiet.I will highly recommend."
"What is the name of this animal/bird? It is not an ostrich but what is it? I enjoyed it. My son enjoyed the walking trail. We all enjoyed the place."
"We loved staying there. The hiking trials are very well maintained and covers all the different habitats on the farm. The chalet was neat and clean with all the essentials."
"I loved my stay at Camelroc. One feels at home, the space is well maintained and the rooms are warm and cosy. Highly recommended!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The chalet had everything we needed and was serviced daily (including new kindling for the fireplace). The surroundings are really beautiful and there are very well marked hiking trails and mountain bike trails."
"We often come to Fouriesburg and Clarens and always look fora decent self catering place that at least has a view and where you can get away from it all. Camelroc is that place - the unit was superbly equipped with the best view from your private patio, a place to come a recharge your batteries. The hosts were most friendly. We will definitely be back! Such a special place."
"Great for a walk or some great MTB trails and then relax with a fire a night. Makes for an enjoyable stay."
"We had a fantastic time at Camelroc. The Chalet was very clean and fitted with everything needed, including a Jetmaster fire place, oil heater, panel heater & electric blankets for those cold Free State nights. While having early morning coffee, blesbuck and duikers came to greet! Fantastic shower with continuous hot water. It is the perfect base camp if you want to visit Lesotho."
"Had much time to relax, and prepare for the next day's work in town of Fouriesburg"
"Beautiful setting"
"I was completely in awe of the beautiful mountains and surroundings. The pictures on the site didn't do justice to the actual beauty of the place! I recommend you go see for yourself. We had a view from all windows. The chalets are so perfect. They thought of everything and everything was spotless. The people were friendly and we enjoyed our stay. Only too short. The countless wonderful reviews in the guestbook came as no surprise.Thanks for sharing your piece of heaven with us.Reinette du Rand"
