Lovely little dam in the river to swim in. Sadly there is not a blade of grass to be seen anywhere, just sand to camp on. ]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:03:35 +0000 9624-18 http://www.rateyourcampsite.co.za/component/content/article/26-western-cape-campsites/9624-berg-river-resort.html We camped for the long weekend from 18-21 March 2011. The camp was very full and we pitched camp in the centre of Block A (closest to the swimming pool, shop and hall) as that was the only area where we could find 2 adjacent sites for our group of 8. The setting is beautiful with most sites shaded, but the ablution facilities is in dire need of an upgrade. On all three nights we had to endure 3 different groups of extremely loud and drunk campers, swearing and shouting till 03:00 with no regard for fellow campers - not the kind of exposure I want for my 6 and 10 year old children. Also no chance of getting any rest. Apart from one vehicle that patrolled the camp at around 19:00 on Friday announcing that no music was allowed, there was no visible security, patrolling or reprimanding of misbehaving campers noticed. Berg River's web site claims to be a "small, family-orientated resort for people who are interested in the simple things in life." Definitely not true. Don't go there during weekends or holidays. Go as a day visitor because they have lovely shaded lawns and braai facilities. Campers were reasonably well behaved during the day. I will not stay there again. ]]> Tue, 22 Mar 2011 18:54:13 +0000 9994-16 http://www.rateyourcampsite.co.za/component/content/article/26-western-cape-campsites/9994-kambati-river-resort.html We camped for 5 very relaxing and fun filled days. ]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 11:37:33 +0000 10234-15 http://www.rateyourcampsite.co.za/component/content/article/26-western-cape-campsites/10234-mountain-breeze-caravan-park.html Fantastic place to use as a base. Lots of shade, we experienced little or no wind, while the wind was pumping in Strand and Somerset West over a period of two weeks. Highly recommended! ]]> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 06:17:57 +0000 9624-14 http://www.rateyourcampsite.co.za/component/content/article/26-western-cape-campsites/9624-berg-river-resort.html We were booked in for the period 24/12/2010 to 7/1/2011. The idea was to use it as a base to travel around the Cape area. We had 2 attempted robberies and 1 actual robbery on the 25th December. On two occassions the adults were not on the sight, but the children were, needless to say they were traumatised. The management were very helpful, specifically Ian, who tried to move us to a different site, this however did not work out as the camp site was full. They refunded our money without any problems. The resort itself is very pretty, ablutions need to be updated. I would like to make people aware that you could have problems with robberies as numerous campers were robbed in the period we were there. ]]> Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:26:24 +0000
