Pet-Friendly Campsites in Fezile Dabi

For those seeking a classic, no-fuss escape on the banks of the Vaal Dam, @97Weltina offers a tranquil retreat focused on the simple pleasures of fishing and family time. Located between Deneysville and Oranjeville, the resort is reached via a 3km stretch of gravel road, a short transition that takes you from the tarmac of the R716 and into a more peaceful, waterside environment. The resort is designed so that dedicated anglers don’t have to leave the rest of the family behind. While you settle in for a patient day of fishing along the shoreline, others can make the most of the on-site facilities. A well-maintained swimming pool provides a welcome escape from the Highveld heat, and a dedicated play park will keep younger children happily occupied. The open, spacious grounds also make it a great place for kids to safely ride their bicycles. The camping here is relaxed, with the focus squarely on the outdoor experience, supported by essential comforts like clean ablution blocks. Day visitors are welcome to enjoy the setting, but as the resort prioritises its overnight campers, it is always recommended to call ahead to confirm availability, particularly over weekends. With prior arrangement, small, well-behaved dogs are welcome to join your family for the trip.

Anchor Creek Marina offers a secure and practical base for boating and fishing enthusiasts in the quiet town of Deneysville. As its name suggests, the campsite is part of an active marina, giving it a distinct atmosphere focused on water-based recreation on the vast Vaal Dam. The entire property is well-lit and secure, providing peace of mind for guests, especially those with boats and valuable fishing gear. The intimate campsite consists of just 15 stands, ensuring it never feels overcrowded. A key feature is that all sites are paved, providing a clean and stable all-weather surface for any caravan or motorhome, and are set within a well-shaded area. The setup is straightforward and functional. Campers share conveniently located water and electrical points, so it’s essential to pack your own extension lead of up to 30 metres to connect to the grid. The ablution facilities are clean and well-maintained, providing reliable hot and cold water. A thoughtful touch is the inclusion of a bath in the ladies' section for a proper soak after a day on the water. However, the main draw for many is the excellent fishing available directly from the resort's waterfront. You can set up your rods and spend hours casting a line just a short stroll from your caravan, making it an incredibly convenient and relaxing angler's retreat.

True to its name, which means "Well Pleased," Weltevrede Country Resort is a destination designed to bring a smile to every member of the family. Beautifully situated on the banks of the Vaal River, with an incredible 800 meters of private riverfront, this is a classic holiday resort that offers a world of fun, relaxation, and beautiful scenery. It's a place where you can leave the stresses of the world behind and immerse yourself in a carefree environment of swimming, fishing, and quality family time. The camping experience is designed for comfort, convenience, and a deep connection to the river. The spacious caravan park features a wonderful selection of sites, all set on beautiful, lush lawns and offering plenty of welcome shade for your caravan. The park is thoughtfully laid out to be very close to the river, with some of the prime stands located just 40 meters from the water's edge. For the truly dedicated angler, three exclusive sites are situated right on the riverbed, providing the ultimate spot to fish for Geelvis, Barbel, and Carp. What truly sets Weltevrede apart is its commitment to a hassle-free family holiday. The kids will be entertained for hours at the playground, with trampolines, swings, and more, all conveniently located right next to the main camp. For the whole family, there is a swimming pool, a mini-golf course, and plenty of space for hiking and bird watching. Most thoughtfully, the resort features three separate ablution blocks, a clever design that ensures bath and shower time will never turn into a "traffic jam" - allowing you to completely forget about the queues and rushes of everyday life.
