Gourits River Eco Camping

605 views Share

Description

Situated on the tranquil banks of the Gourits River, approximately 16km from the town of Albertinia, Gourits River Eco Camping offers a scenic and grounded breakaway in the heart of the Garden Route. This destination is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to escape the hustle and bustle, providing a space where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the river's flow and the calls of the local birdlife. It is a place where you can trade the city skyline for breathtaking views of the Langeberg Mountains, offering a classic farm-stay experience that is as relaxing as it is adventurous.

Each campsite is capable of accommodating up to six people, making it a great choice for families and small groups. The setup is highly versatile, welcoming everything from traditional tents to caravans, camper vans, and rugged Echo 4x4 trailers. Because the sites vary—with some offering electrical points and others providing a completely off-grid experience—it is a good idea to confirm your specific site requirements when booking. The camp provides clean, communal ablution blocks with warm water showers and flushing toilets, along with communal braai areas that serve as a perfect social hub for evening meals under the stars.

Life here is centered firmly on the great outdoors and the river itself. You can spend your days hiking the trails, casting a line for a bit of fishing, or exploring the water by canoe. For those with a bit more energy to burn, there are quad biking and mountain biking trails that showcase the varied terrain of the farm, as well as scenic drives for a more relaxed exploration. Whether you are swimming in the river or simply enjoying the bird watching, the camp provides an authentic, accessible gateway to the natural beauty of the Western Cape.

This was truly one to remember. Awesome owners. Friendly and helpful. Everything is neat, clean and Everything you need for a camping stay are there.
True beauty nature. The sounds of wild life, farm life, and not to mention the stars at night. We will definitely visit again and recommend them for anyone who wants to break away from daily work routine.
Thank you guys. We loved it

We had an amazing stay! Our kids had endless fun in nature, on the farm, and playing in the Gourits River that runs through the property. Even after a full week, they didn’t want to leave. The area is wild and rugged, with stunning viewpoints and plenty of space to explore off the beaten path.

The owners are super friendly and welcoming, always making sure everything is taken care of. We were treated to delicious food and felt at home right away. they pointed out the giraffes living nearby. We were able to watch them peacefully and up close.

A perfect spot for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who loves getting into the wilderness. We would absolutely love to come back!

Nice farm in the middle of the bush. We stayed at the campsite for one night - it’s a small yet well maintained campsite with 13 spots. Ideal when going to Wilderness/Garden route for a stop along the way.
Showers and toilettes are very comfortable and clean. Unfortunately this year the river was very very low because of the heat, but you can still go to a spot and have a swim.
2 highlights of our stay :
The drive through the game reserve at dusk where we saw impalas, ostriches and other small animals. You can just take your car and drive through the reserve for about 2km, and come back. Definitely a nice surprise.
The owner kindly offered us farm eggs and coffee in the morning, as we didn’t have a lot of camping ustensiles. That made our day !

My wife and I absolutely loved our weekend on the farm. Everything was perfect. Friendly service, comfortable and relaxing. Loved the pool patio and braai area. We will back soon for some more relaxation.

Awesome camping spot. Quiet respectful campers and clean, thoughtful facilities. River was low sadly but that's of course an uncontrollable. Was sad seeing a few dogs chained up by local farm workers and I hope they can be educated about that. Otherwise a wonderful stay and will defintely return.
