Long-Stay Campsites in Plettenberg Bay

Tsitsikamma Sunrise Caravan Park offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful countryside retreat that serves as the perfect home base for exploring one of South Africa’s most celebrated coastlines. Situated conveniently between Plettenberg Bay and the wild beauty of Nature's Valley, this park provides a quiet, green sanctuary to return to after a day of adventure. Whether you've been hiking the famous trails, relaxing on Keurboomstrand, or exploring the local attractions, you can look forward to a tranquil evening under the stars. The park is thoughtfully laid out with 55 level campsites, each offering a generous 120 square meters of lush, well-maintained grass. This means you have plenty of room to set up your caravan, tent, and outdoor living area without feeling crowded. You can choose a stand with or without an electrical point to suit your needs, and fresh water points are easily accessible throughout the grounds. Naturally, a private braai at your site is standard for that essential camping experience. A standout feature is the park’s commitment to sustainability, evident in its excellent ablution facilities. The water is heated using a combination of solar and gas, ensuring a reliable hot shower, and wastewater is recycled to keep the gardens green. In addition to the main facilities, two private family bathrooms provide extra convenience for those with little ones. You’ll also find practical amenities like a scullery, laundry facilities, and washing lines to make longer stays comfortable and easy. Prior arrangement with management is needed for guests wishing to bring one small, leashed pet along.
