Peace of Eden Vegan Nature Lodge Campsite

Accommodation Description

The campsite at Peace of Eden Vegan Nature Lodge is a true back-to-nature experience tucked into indigenous forest near Knysna. The forest camping area is simple, spacious, and serene, offering a peaceful alternative to traditional campsites. There are no demarcated stands; instead, guests choose their own spot beneath the trees to pitch a tent or park a small camper. The atmosphere is quiet, communal, and eco-conscious, attracting mindful travellers looking to unplug and immerse themselves in nature.

Facilities include compost toilets, warm outdoor showers, and a rustic communal forest kitchen equipped with gas stoves, basic utensils, and a dining table. There are braai areas for outdoor cooking, and the surrounding environment is rich in birdlife, forest trails, and serenity. This is a minimalist camping experience perfect for those seeking reconnection with nature, simplicity, and themselves.

Setting Description

The campsite is set deep in Peace of Eden’s indigenous forest property, just outside Knysna along the peaceful Rheenendal Road. Surrounded by fynbos and forest canopy, the setting is tranquil and free from the noise of everyday life. The property borders ancient forest and lies close to the magical Jubilee Creek and other trail networks, while still being within easy driving distance of Knysna’s beaches and shops.
