Camel Rock

About Camel Rock

Camel Rock is a striking natural wonder located just at the entrance to the coastal village of Scarborough, making it an essential, low-effort pitstop for anyone road-tripping along the Cape Peninsula toward Cape Point. This weathered sandstone formation is remarkably lifelike, perfectly capturing the silhouette of a sitting camel gazing toward the mountains. Since it’s situated right alongside the main road, it offers a fantastic, quick photo opportunity without the need for a strenuous hike. The surrounding fynbos and the dramatic backdrop of the Atlantic coastline add to its rugged charm, though visitors should keep a watchful eye out for the local baboon troops that frequently frequent the area.
