Rivierzicht River Resort

My partner and I are regulars at Rivierzicht River Resort, and honestly, we can’t recommend it enough. It is our go-to spot when we need to get away from the city and enjoy pure relaxation in nature.

​We have experienced both the cabins and the bushveld accommodation, and both were absolutely amazing.

The units are always spacious and kept incredibly tidy. Whether you are by the river or in the bush, the setting is peaceful and beautiful.

If you are looking for a perfect nature break, this is the place. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Rivierzicht takes clamping to a new high. We stayed on the river in one of the clamping units and enjoyed every minute of it. From quality bed linne, to towels to a fully fitted coverd,outdoor kitchen, all essentials are provided! The units are clean and spacious, with each unit allocated its own bathroom and its own lapa and braai. We swam, watched our neighbors fish and enjoyed the outdoors. Can't wait to go back!

As a group of 5 friends across 2 vehicles we booked a camping site (hence no rating on rooms) for the weekend,14th-16th November, initial contact was via email to Vicky and Barbara who were most helpful! On the day of check in, Vicky advised us of the stop go roadworks taking place on the Worcester - Robertson road and also supplied an alternative route to avoid it! We got campsite 16 which came with a braai drum welded to a wheelbarrow frame, tap, and shade structure, had an ablution block of 4x shower - toilet -basin combos mere meters away.

Check in was pleasant and quick, handed in paperwork, directed to campsite and informed of honesty hut with ice, water and wood available. later the evening Barbara made her rounds of the campsite asking if we were settled in and if we needed anything, a pleasant touch!

Ablutions were clean and cleaned regularly throughout the day, with all the campers observing the establishment rules around noise, a pleasant weekend was had by all, bonus, getting to watch the Springboks annihilate Italy with 14men while at camp!!!! (vodacom gave us a better connectivity experience vs mtn for the game )

After dark, as soon as the last remnants of twilight faded, the sky transformed into a massive, inky-black canvas absolutely dusted with stars. The Milky Way was clearly visible—a spectacular, hazy ribbon stretching across the dark. You could easily spend hours just picking out constellations and marveling at the sheer density of the celestial view. A unique bonus was how quickly and frequently we spotted satellites! We saw several bright ones steadily tracing silent paths across the sky, was mesmerizing to watch them glide across the field of view!

Will definitely be back again!

It's midnight, the music is still playing "softly" but the base and lyrics echo down the river for all to "enjoy" whether you asked for it or not.

Another piece of wood is added to the fire and the laughter of another bad joke feels like it's being told inside your tent. There is no way to turn down the volume.

The rules state : "Please respect fellow campers with regards to the following:
Loud music and rowdiness"... This rule is pretty useless to disrespectful people. How do you enforce such a rule and at what time do you ask drunk people to please go to bed.

The campsite is beautiful. The water in the river is refreshing and cools you sufficiently during the warm sunny afternoon and it's even refreshingly warm while the sun is setting.

But tonight the entire atmosphere is ruined by disrespectful campers next to you.

So if you like to play music in nature, next to a beautiful river and far away from the city, then come and ruin it for the campers next to you. Come get drunk and tell jokes for everyone to hear, no one will ask you to stop.

But if you prefer only the sound of nature and want to fall asleep after a fun filled day, away from the noise of the city, then rather stay away from this place.

For myself, until the rules are changed and enforced, this campsite will never see me again.

I tent camped for 2 nights with my 10 year old son. It was a very good experience. The stand was quite big. The place was clean and quiet. The ablutions were good and of reasonable quality. Eveyone abided by the honesty box.
