Adjacent to Royal Natal and 4 km from its gate, is the 762 ha Rugged Glen reserve. There are nature trails and trout-fishing, and horse Rides set out from the Rugged Glen stables.
The game and birdlife are similar to those found in the Royal Natal National Park, and the sanctuaries share access roads from Harrismith and Bergville.
The Rugged Glen campsite, dominated by the 1 890 m Camel's Hump caters for visitors and has ablution blocks with hot and cold water.
