Clanwilliam Dam Resort offers a classic South African holiday experience, centred around the vast expanse of the dam itself. This massive aquatic playground, set against the rugged backdrop of the Cederberg mountains, has long been a favourite destination for families and water sports enthusiasts. Located near the historic town of Clanwilliam, the resort provides a vibrant basecamp for a holiday filled with sunshine, boating, and outdoor adventure.
For campers and caravanners, the resort provides an extensive selection of campsites spread across grassy areas, many of which are located close to the water's edge. This allows for easy access for an early morning fishing session or a quick swim to cool off during the hot summer days. The sites are equipped with standard electrical points and are serviced by several ablution blocks. For those who prefer a solid roof, a range of self-catering lakeside cabins and chalets are also available.
Life at the resort naturally revolves around the water. It’s a paradise for boating families, waterskiing enthusiasts, and anglers hoping to land a prize bass. Beyond the dam, the resort serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area. You can visit the charming town of Clanwilliam, famous for its rooibos tea, or venture into the magnificent Cederberg Wilderness Area for incredible hiking and to view ancient rock art.
