Camp Under the Stars
Fall asleep to the sounds of nature.
Hello and welcome
Camp Grounded @ Gracelands Farm is a back to basics youth, church, and team building camp venue just outside Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal, designed for schools, churches, corporates, and youth groups who want to get people off their screens and into the great outdoors. Our faith based camp experience is rooted in Psalm 121, offering young people and adults alike the chance to pitch their own tents, gather around a fire, and grow in friendship, resilience, and faith.Whether you’re planning a school leadership camp, grade bonding trip, corporate team building event, workshop, or church youth retreat, Camp Grounded provides a safe, affordable, and nature filled environment where campers can run barefoot through open fields, conquer our obstacle course, take part in team building activities, chat around a camp fire, and fall asleep under the stars. This isn’t a resort style getaway — it’s a return to real childhood – a return to intentional connection and adventure, creating space to strengthen character, faith, teamwork, and community. With flexible programs, hearty meals, and the option to bring your own tents, we make it easy for you to host a meaningful, life shaping experience for your group. Located just 37 minutes from Durban and 45 minutes from Pietermaritzburg, Camp Grounded is perfectly positioned to serve schools, churches, and corporate teams across KwaZulu-Natal.
