Gate quota at Stormsriver mouth

I've been trying to find out if there's a gate quota at stormsriver mouth.
The total of cars parked along the road leading to the restaurant yesterday were just ridiculous
And these capetonions never heard of manners as they just keep on pushing past hoping to find parking closer. There's only space for one car as both sides of the road have cars parked.
You need to give each other a turn to pass when you get a gap but no........ the people with cape town number plates don't wait there turn..... they think when you pull over to the side 20 of them can go
Clowns. It reminds me of the circus in the southern part of kruger

I can't find anything about quotas, Alpheus. Just that the pool is for overnight guests only.
Ja, those WP supporters are a different bunch...

I think quotas might be needed in a few more places other than Kruger. Yesterday Addo had queues at the main camp reception coming out the door, down the steps and through a big chunk of the car park... I was chatting to one of the guides I know and he said it was the worst he had seen in 18 years
Fortunately we had been 6th in the park in the morning so missed the madness

Sorry to contradict you, but I doubt that the Capetonians are worse than the rest of you and for that, the rest of the world

There are few people with good manners these days
Yes, SANParks has to do something serious about crowding

Spoke to a honorary ranger now. He confirmed that there's no gate quota here at stormsriver
He also mentioned that most of the oceanette accommodation are empty because SP must do repairs to them....
So how much money have they lost out on over this peak period

Sounds as if they are not very organized

How stupid! I am sure that it would have been full

We took a drive out of the park this morning. Came back at 11:30 and the number of cars at the gate were crazy

Maybe there was a leopard in the road?
