Nestled on a productive citrus farm near the town of Citrusdal, The Baths is an iconic and historic hot spring resort that has been a haven for relaxation for generations. This is a destination with a true sense of place and history, a place where the main attraction is a remarkable gift from nature itself. The natural hot springs, with their mineral-rich waters reaching a blissful 43 degrees Celsius at the source, are the heart and soul of the resort, offering a timeless and deeply therapeutic experience.
The entire resort is designed for relaxation and gentle recreation. You can spend your days alternating between the soothing heat of the hot pools and the refreshing coolness of the cold pools, or venture further to discover the beautiful mountain rock pools. The on-site MacGregor's Restaurant offers a delicious à la carte menu for a break from cooking, while a well-stocked shop provides all the basics you need. For a bit of light activity, you can enjoy a game of tennis, while the kids are kept happily entertained on the trampoline and playground.
The camping experience is wonderfully atmospheric and unique. The sites are nestled along a beautiful, shaded kloof that leads up to the baths, creating a sense of being in a secret, natural sanctuary. You will set up your camp under a dense canopy of indigenous Wild Olives and ancient Fig trees, with a gentle mountain stream running through the grounds. Due to this deep, natural shade, the campsite floor is a rustic, grassless forest floor, adding to the authentic, rustic charm. Each site is equipped with a braai and an electric point, and is serviced by three clean, shared ablution blocks.
