Also known as China or Chinamans, we couldn’t find much info on Draaifontein. It’s another Vaal Dam fishing venue with wide open spaces and lots of fish but not much in terms of accommodation. It’s strictly camping as far as we can tell.
Having said that there are a few reports coming from competitions being held there recently that suggest the quality of fishing is very good, with all the usual suspects (carp, yellowfish, mudfish) in abundance. We also saw some photos of very large barbel caught there.

A very good fishing spot. Friendly hosts. Very recommendable. Clean flush toilets. Well stocked shop. Dirt road to venue good enough for small vehicle. I have not seen ablutions, but there is enough confidence by Chinaman to show it to us. We were a bit pressed for time.
Thanks a lot for the info, it’s always great to get an updated review.
