Van Stadens Resort

Perfectly positioned halfway between the city of Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and the legendary surf town of Jeffreys Bay, Van Stadens Resort is a cherished coastal getaway. Its convenient location, just a 45-minute drive from the airport, makes it an incredibly accessible destination for both local families and travelers from afar. The resort is designed to be a vibrant hub of classic holiday fun, warmly welcoming overnight campers, day visitors, and picnickers alike. It’s the perfect place to pack your gazebo, grab your braai grid, and settle in for a sun-drenched day of relaxation and family fun.

The camping experience at Van Stadens offers a wonderful choice to suit every preference. The spacious, lawn-covered sites are suitable for both tents and caravans, and you can select your perfect spot based on your personal style. Choose a site nestled under the welcome shade of the sheltering milkwood trees for a cozy, protected feel, or opt for a spot with a breathtaking, panoramic view of the lagoon and the sea beyond. All sites have access to both electricity and water, providing the essential foundation for a comfortable stay.

To ensure you can get set up with ease, the resort offers some wonderfully practical advice. Be sure to bring your own portable braai, a long extension cord to comfortably reach the shared power points, and the standard blue caravan plug adapter. This kind of helpful, honest information is a testament to the park's friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. A convenient kiosk is open on weekends and during peak season for essentials and treats, completing the picture of a classic, carefree, and quintessentially South African coastal holiday.
