Kirkwood Wildsfees Camping

NIESHOUTKLOOF, the place where Nyalas graze and Bushbuck take cover…
Suki Ferreira is the host with a well-trained team keeping the camping grounds clean and safe. As a team we do our best to cater for the campers’ needs like selling ice & wood as well as creating a festive atmosphere for you to make the most of your time in the Eastern Cape at the SPAR KIRKWOOD WILDSFEES.
Over the nearly 2 decades - 18 years that Suki has been catering for campers at NIESHOUTKLOOF it has become a popular campsite for festival goers. The place where friends and family gather to have fun and do life as campers just for a little while.
Here at NIESHOUTKLOOF we run shuttles so that our festival goers can get to and from the festival grounds safely.
Come see Kirkwood & experience the SPAR KIRKWOOD WILDSFEES in style – whether it is in your tent, campervan, caravan or up a tree.
NIESHOUTKLOOF is situated 3kms outside of Kirkwood on a farm against the mountain in the Malmaison area. We do have limited electricity sites available. The campsites are set out for your individual group needs – we cater for each group specifically. The only way to get to NIESHOUTKLOOF is via a bridge over the canal. The road is accessible to most vehicles.
