Description

Sitrusoewer River Camp lies on the Sundays River’s scenic banks, just 50km from Addo National Elephant Park. Citrus orchards surround the camp, creating a perfect family getaway. In 2004, Johan and Anneke Swart launched Sitrusoewer as a private picnic spot on their farm by the river. Initially for friends and family, its local popularity soared. Demand for camping and fishing prompted expansion. Today, the camp features a lapa, four cabins, 25 spacious campsites, and four ablution facilities. Each campsite fits a standard caravan, tent, and one vehicle, with a power point and barbecue included.
