After 20 easy kms you'll arrive at the junction with the D570. A very large sign 'Camp Area' points towards the Naute Dam. The 5 km road to the dam is in a bad shape. Very soft and sandy. There are no facilities except for a empty oil-drum to put your rubbish in.
Water has to come from the dam.
Lot's of waterbirds here. After the junction with the D570 the D545 continues another 17 kms to the main road, the C12. The C12 is in a good condition but there are no towns or facilities untill you get near the Fish River Canyon area. There may be railroad workers camps along the railroad where you can get drinkingwater. There are camping facilities at the 'Augrabies Steenbok Reserve', but the camp area is 16 kms from the mainroad.
