Lake Tagalala campsite has basic but good facilities, including cold-water showers and covered cooking areas. There is usually water, but it is worth also filling up a container when entering the reserve. The campsite is located roughly midway between Mtemere and Matambwe gates on a low rise near Lake Tagalala.
