Description

Discover a true family-orientated sanctuary on the beautiful KZN South Coast at River Valley Resort. This is not a large, bustling, and impersonal park; it is an intimate and welcoming retreat where the focus is on creating a peaceful and secure environment for families to relax and reconnect. Nestled in a lush river valley, the resort offers a wonderfully sheltered and serene atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for those seeking a classic, comfortable, and truly restorative holiday experience.

The resort is a true paradise for children, and by extension, for their parents. The fantastic range of activities is designed with one beautiful goal in mind: to keep the kids happily and safely entertained for hours on end. A sparkling swimming pool, a fun-filled games room, and a dedicated children's playground create a world of adventure for the little ones. This allows mom and dad that rare and precious opportunity to genuinely relax - to put up their feet with a favourite refreshment, enjoy a good book, indulge in some peaceful bird-watching, or simply doze in the cool shade.

The camping experience is designed to be comfortable and classic. The beautiful, grassed, and shady caravan sites provide a cool and inviting base for your stay. Each site is equipped with a powerful 16-amp electrical point, with convenient water taps located in close proximity throughout the park. The resort also warmly welcomes the entire family, with a thoughtful policy that allows dogs to join their parents during the quieter out-of-season periods for a small daily rate. It is this unwavering focus on the entire family's well-being that makes River Valley a truly special place.

Just got home from spending 10 days at River Valley resort. Oh, how we wish those days could have had 48 hours each. The resort is absolutely lovely, with all camping spaces well shaded. The ablusions wasn't just clean, they were gorgeous. Everybody from reception to the staff, to residents and fellow campers were fantastically friendly and welcoming. The entire vibe in camp was peaceful and quiet. Their ResortGo app was so comfortable and super reasonably priced, in some regards even cheaper than nearby shops. And to get your goodies delivered at your campsite by a super friendly 'uncle ice' made you feel like royalty.

We are already planning for the next getaway, and they will most definately see us again.

Be blessed
Stef and Nico

River Valley Resort is the perfect place for peace and tranquility. The property is beautiful, boasting nature. Everyone was friendly, the chalet was very comfortable, clean, neat and tidy. Perfect getaway for peace and quiet. Will definitely be visiting again.

Had an awesome weekend camping. Anty Lenette at reception was extremely helpful. Camp sites are spacious and well maintained. Ablutions are very clean, took a very nice hot shower. Area is extremely quiet and clean. I’m going back next month.

Got there, key didn't open the door.
Waited in the rain, then moved us to another unit. Restaurants pizza was burnt and chicken was not cooked properly and also took 2 hours.then after we left they took off money from deposit for units that we did not use..they didn't check the meter in the new unit when they moved us so they used the first chalet meter number and not the new one.so apparently we used more than the 10 units given but we didn't.. but yet we get a very unprofessional email.
