There are few locations in South Africa as iconic or dramatic as the mouth of the great Umzimvubu River, and Ferry Point Resort commands the ultimate view. Perched overlooking this legendary meeting point of river and ocean, with the vast expanse of Long Beach stretching out before it, the resort offers a visual spectacle that is simply unparalleled. This is the heart of the Wild Coast, a landscape of untamed beauty and raw power. The resort’s character is perfectly in tune with its surroundings - it’s not about polished luxury, but about providing a comfortable, rustic, and affordable base from which to soak in this million-dollar view. The camping experience here is tailored for the purist and the adventurer. Designed exclusively for tents, the campsites embrace a back-to-basics philosophy, inviting you to disconnect from technology and immerse yourself in the natural world. There are no power points at the individual sites, a deliberate choice that encourages you to tune into the rhythm of your surroundings, the sound of the ocean, the call of sea birds, and the brilliance of the night sky. In the evenings, the general camping area is cast in a soft, gentle glow from solar lighting, providing just enough light for navigation without spoiling the natural ambiance. This thoughtful approach to off-grid living extends to the amenities. The ablution facilities are also lit by solar power, and a reliable gas geyser ensures the simple but essential comfort of a hot shower at the end of a day spent exploring. While camping is at its heart, the resort also offers rustic self-catering cottages for those who prefer a solid roof. Whether you’re setting up a tent or settling into a cottage, Ferry Point is the perfect launchpad for your Port St Johns adventures. From fishing in the river to hiking the dramatic coastline - offering an authentic and unforgettable experience for the budget-conscious traveler.

Just a three-hour drive from the heart of Gauteng, 3 Provinces 4x4 Adventures is a true natural gem, offering an authentic escape into a world of rugged beauty. Situated near the town of Volksrust, the name hints at its unique geographical position, close to where Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Free State meet. This is a landscape blessed with abundance, where waterfalls cascade down cliffs and black eagles soar overhead, promising a genuine mountain adventure. The camping experience here embraces a true off-grid philosophy. A generous number of campsites provide the perfect basecamp for your adventure, but it’s important to note there is no electricity at the sites themselves. This invites a return to the simple pleasures of an evening spent around a crackling campfire under a vast, starry sky. Essential comforts are provided by clean communal ablution facilities, where hot water for the showers is supplied by a classic and reliable donkey boiler. The main attraction is the network of scenic and challenging 4x4 trails that wind through the property, offering a thrilling outing for the whole family. It is essential for visitors to know that the terrain is best suited for off-road trailers and campervans; access for standard road caravans may be difficult. For those seeking a solid roof, a selection of cozy rock and log cabins is also available.
