Dungandlovu Rustic Camp has four huts each equipped with four beds. Basic comforts include good drinking water, firewood and a deepfreeze, no bedding is provided. The viewing platform on the lakeside of the camp at sunset commands magnificent views of the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park.

NB
Visitors intending to visit Charter`s Creek, Fani`s Island or False Bay should be aware of the drought conditions that are currently being experienced in northern KwaZulu-Natal, particularly over the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. There are no boat tours from Charter`s Creek and fishing or the launching of boats from any of the three camps is not possible because of the low level of Lake St Lucia.
