Camping at Washington Slagbaai

There is no better way to experience the park than to stay in one of the historical Slagbaai houses. Camp under the stars and wake to the sun glistening off the water!

Park rules

Do not bring any animals or plants into the National Park. They can become invasive, threatening the local species.
Use the trash receptacles for litter. Take care that nothing harmful to the environment is left behind.
Do not play loud music or behave in a noisy manner, particularly near the saltpans. Birds, especially flamingos, are sensitive to disruption.
Swimming, fishing or kayaking are not permitted in the salt pans.
Capturing, harassing, killing and/or disturbing any of the animals or plants is prohibited.
Do not feed the animals as this will alter their natural behaviour.
Do not take pictures inside the caves. Flash photography is a hazard to wildlife.
Only four-wheeled motor vehicles, with a spare tire, are allowed. Roads are one way with a speed limit of 25 km/hr.
Do not build fires or discard matches or cigarettes as dry vegetation in the park is sensitive to bush fires. Building fires in only allowed in the charcoal barbecue pits at Slagbaai.
No weapons or animal traps (including fishing nets) are permitted in the park.
