DON'T go there.

Seriously. The dirt road is in incredibly bad condition, lots of wide & deep potholes, deep ditches and long stretches of washed out areas. High risk of getting stuck when muddy from rain.

It takes ages to get to the campsite and extremely careful and attentive driving.

When we finally made it, the site was not accessible due to huge & deep waterholes in the road. Campsite had a very eerie sort of atmosphere, we did not feel comfortable there. We turned around and left.

Go to KiwiCamp in National Park Village instead. It's free as long as you don't need power & has great facilities.

The Okupata caves on the way to the campsite are not worth it, either, btw. Very difficult to find. Don't trust the location shown on Google. Keep going further along the road until you see the sign saying the cave is 5 min away. The cave sits directly in the river bed with water streaming down the entrance. At least we think that was the entrance, there was no sign.

We left immediatly after having a look at this place.

It is a very spacious carpark (no shade) surrounded by beautiful bush. The Okere Falls and caves are worth visiting. However, the carpark is used by a rafting company to pick up boats and guests after their tour on the river, so it is extremely busy with buses, trailers and people the whole time.

Also, I don't know why people assume this is an official freedom campsite, because we saw no signs allowing camping. In fact, the only sign we saw actually forbid camping. But since people have apparantly stayed there without trouble, maybe it's ok, I don't know. Maybe it's not too bad to spend a night there after the rafting company is done and people are gone, but not if you arrive during the day and want some peace and quiet.
