Campsites in Albert Falls

Ovaflo Resort offers a classic, rustic retreat on the banks of the Umgeni River, providing a convenient and easy-to-reach escape for families from Durban and Pietermaritzburg. This is not a fancy, modern resort, but an authentic, back-to-basics campground where the focus is on fishing, family gatherings, and simple outdoor fun. It’s the perfect, unpretentious venue for a relaxed weekend away. The resort provides a selection of grassed campsites, each equipped with an electrical point to ensure you have the basic comforts sorted. A point of pride for the resort is its clean and functional ablution facilities, which offer reliable hot showers and flushing toilets for all guests. For convenience, a small on-site tuck shop stocks essential items, saving you a trip into town for ice or firewood. Life at Ovaflo revolves around the river. The Umgeni is well-known for its excellent fishing, attracting anglers who are happy to spend hours on the banks. For families, a dedicated playground provides a great space for younger children to burn off some energy. The surrounding riverine bush is also a haven for bird lovers, offering plenty of opportunities for sightings. For those planning a longer stay, a swimming pool is available as a welcome amenity to help you cool off.
