Adjacent to one of the Krugers two southern most gates, the Crocodile Bridge camp is situated in the south-eastern corner of the Park on the banks of the Crocodile River.
The camp also serves as an entrance gate into the park and is only 13 km from Komatipoort and the national N4 highway.
Five km from the camp visitors may leave their vehicles for a short walk to the river to watch - among other things - the hippo and crocodile lazing in pools and basking on sandbanks.
Elephant and rhino are often sighted in this vicinity, and the grasslands attract zebra, wildebeest, impala, kudu, waterbuck and large herds of buffalo.
No restaurant or cafeteria facilities exist in the camp, but the camp shop does stock the basic food and drink requirements together with a small compliment of books and curios. The retail hours are the same as for the entrance gates.
The petrol station has got a ready supply of hi-octane, unleaded and diesel fuels, engine oils and compressed air for inflating tyres.
Laundromat facilities are available - coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers can be used at any time during your stay.
