Wonderful campsite along the river.

Response from the owner 18:29 24 Apr 25

Hi Franco! 🌿Thank you so much for your kind review — it means the world to us! 🙌We're thrilled you enjoyed the peace of the river and found value in what we offer. Next time you're in the area, pop by again — solo or not — there's always a fire burning and a spot waiting under the karee trees.Safe travels and may the road always lead you back to Riverbend. 🚐🔥🌊

We spent the night there. For the price we paid, we expected much better. Very disappointed. Know they flooded but post they paid the money back and instead closed until they are back up to standard. Access road to the camp is very poor and not recommendable for normal vehicle or road caravan.

Response from the owner 17:28 23 Apr 25

Hi Karen, ag sorry (Susan),Thank you for your feedback — we’re always open to improving where we can.Just to clarify for future guests: the access road you’re referring to is a public municipal road, not part of Riverbend Camp’s property or maintenance responsibilities. The recent heavy rains certainly didn’t do it any favors, but thankfully it remains passable and has been used by multiple standard vehicles — including sedans and motorhomes — without issue.If there’s anything specific on our campsite that didn’t meet your expectations, we’d love to hear it — we’re all for growing. But blaming us for municipal infrastructure might be a bit of a stretch, especially during a flood season.Looking forward to welcoming you back under sunnier skies — maybe with a off-road caravan next time. 😉

Hi Molozi,Now that’s the kind of feedback that keeps the campfire burning and the boats floating! 😊We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay — clean comfort, good vibes, and a surprise boat trip? Sounds like Riverbend did what it was supposed to do.You and your partner are always welcome back — whether it’s for the views, the peace, or just another dose of river romance.Next time, the first skemerkelkie’s on us. 🍹🌅Thanks again for the kind words!Warm regards,The Riverbend Camp Team

Beautiful campsite with shady trees right on the banks of the Vaal River. Each pitch has its own very clean showers, toilets and sinks. Very good free wifi. We made two nights out of one because we felt so comfortable. The owners are extremely nice and helpful.

Jewel on the banks of the Vaal River. Green lawns and willow trees. Safe and well located near the N12. Perfect for quiet campers, but also for water sports enthusiasts..... motor boat, skiing, water ponies and fishing.

Response from the owner 16:41 21 Oct 24

Baie dankie vir jou "review" Wilhelm! Dit is vir ons ‘n groot plesier om te hoor dat jy die groen grasperke, wilgerbome en ligging langs die Vaalrivier geniet het. Ons is bly dat daar iets is vir elkeen, van rustige kampers tot watersport-entoesiaste. Dit was regtig aangenaam om julle te ontmoet en nuwe vriende te kon maak, en ons hoop om julle gou weer terug te verwelkom vir nog 'n heerlike kuier!

All is as advertised. Friendly welcome, nice surroundings, well equipped. No signage from the town to the site, you need google maps to find it.
