Oewerbos River Camp

Perfectly situated on the banks of the mighty Orange River, Oewerbos River Camp is a true oasis for the long-distance traveler. As its name suggests, this is a lush green sanctuary that stands in beautiful contrast to the surrounding arid landscape. It is the ideal halfway stopover for anyone journeying between Cape Town and Windhoek, or for those en route to the rugged beauty of the Richtersveld Transfrontier Park. It’s more than just a place to rest; it’s a destination designed to help you relax, recharge, and instantly switch into holiday mode.

The atmosphere at Oewerbos is one of relaxed, resort-style comfort. After a long day on the road, you can settle in and immediately start to unwind. Take a refreshing dip in the sparkling swimming pool, or find a comfortable spot on the beautiful deck, order an ice-cold beverage from the fully stocked bar, and simply watch the majestic Orange River flow by. For your dining pleasure, the on-site restaurant offers delicious meals, providing a welcome break from travel snacks and camp cooking.

While relaxation is a top priority, the camp is also a vibrant hub of fun and adventure for the whole family. You can explore the river on a guided canoe or pontoon boat trip, try your hand at some fresh-water fishing, or explore the surrounding terrain on a 4x4 trail. For the kids, Oewerbos is a true paradise, featuring a play park, a giant chess set, and the thrilling excitement of a zip line and a foofy slide to keep them entertained for hours. It is this masterful blend of a strategic location and a world of fun and relaxation that makes Oewerbos an essential and unforgettable stop.
