Working with Coleman’s brand new range of tents and camping equipment got me thinking about a new book …. A #getoutside Guide to all of SA’s brilliant little outdoor secret spots. Places where you can mountain bike and rock climb and fish and trail run and hike and play to your heart’s content.

Which brings me to Nuwerust Rest Camp, which is indeed a spot just like this. It is as off-the-beaten track as one can wish for, and you have to deal with the elements and the occasional scare from creatures such as parabuthus granulatus scorpions, but the surrounding Cederberg Red Karoo is wilderness personified.

We only spent a couple of days here at the foot of the magnificent Rooiberg peak, but after experiencing this paradysical rough diamond, I can promise you that we will be back to visit Steven and Louise. The magnificent camp site made a perfect setting for the COLEMAN tents and CAMPING GAZ gear, and there are dozens of trails here that I still want to explore.
