An oasis on the banks of the Orange River! We had a lovely stay camping with kids. We would recommend that there is a 5km rafting experience for families with small children, who would like to raft in the morning before crossing the border to Namibia. We were rushed to get going after 10km rafting and would have preferred to have someone to eat before we had to rush off. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the pool was an absolute blessing after a long day of driving.

Beautiful scenery and good hospitality, but poor bathroom facilities and no trash cans. I recently visited the Orange River Rafting Lodge and have mixed feelings about my experience. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and made the trip worthwhile. The bar area was also a highlight with a cozy atmosphere and excellent hospitality. However, the camping area was disappointing. The bathrooms were in poor condition, and many of the lights did not work in the evening, making it difficult to use the facilities. Furthermore, there were no trash cans in the camping areas, which was very inconvenient. Although the overall stay was enjoyable, thanks to the scenery and friendly staff, the condition of the bathrooms does not justify the daily rates. It is a beautiful place, but it definitely needs renovations to make it worthwhile.

Pragtige natuurskoon en goeie gasvryheid, maar swak badgeriewe en geen asblikke. Ek het onlangs die Orange River Rafting Lodge besoek en het gemengde gevoelens oor my ervaring. Die natuurskoon was absoluut pragtig en het die reis die moeite werd gemaak. Die kroegarea was ook ’n hoogtepunt met ’n gesellige atmosfeer en uitstekende gasvryheid. Die kamparea het egter teleurgestel. Die badkamers was in ’n swak toestand, en baie van die ligte het nie in die aand gewerk nie, wat dit moeilik gemaak het om die geriewe te gebruik. Verder was daar geen asblikke in die kampareas nie, wat baie ongerieflik was. Alhoewel die algehele verblyf lekker was, danksy die natuurskoon en vriendelike personeel, regverdig die toestand van die badkamers nie die daaglikse tariewe nie. Dis ’n mooi plek, maar daar is beslis opknappings nodig om dit die moeite werd te maak.

Great resting place. The lodge was lovely. We had a great time camping along the Orange River. The management team was friendly and very helpful. The camping facilities are clean and nicely furnished and you can rest very well. Would recommend the place.

Heerlike rusplek. Die lodge was heerlik. Ons het vreeslik lekker gekamp langs die Oranjerivier. Die bestuurspan was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die kampgeriewe skoon en is lekker ingerig en 'n mens kan baie lekker rus. Sal die plek aanbeveel.

Very comfortable and clean campsite on the banks of the Orange River. We had a great time camping here - unfortunately it was only for the 1 night before we crossed the border to Namibia. I would definitely have camped there more if we lived closer. Would recommend to any campers. Each pitch is private with a braai, canopy, bench set and sink and enough light. Fantastic place!

Baie gerieflike en skoon kampplek op die oewer van die Oranjerivier. Ons het vreeslik lekker hier gekamp - ongelukkig was dit net vir die 1 nag voor ons oor die grens gegaan het na Namibia. Ek sou beslils meer daar gaan kamp het as ons nader gebly het. Sal dit vir enige kampeerders aanbeveel. Elke staanplek is privaat met 'n braaier, dakkie, bankiestel en wasbak en genoeg lig. Fantastiese plek!

No, stop. We booked a large stand because we were two families, it was given to someone else. Pool was dirty. Our campsite was wet sprayed before we arrived. The canopy area was not given. All the extras were very expensive, we just left. Our water was off in the ablution blocks for the two nights.

Nee wat, hou verby. Ons het groot staanplek bespreek, want ons was twee gesinne, dit was vir iemand anders gegee. Swembad was vuil. Ons kampeerplek was natgespuit voor ons gekom het. Die afdakarea was nie gegee nie. Al die ekstra's was baie duur, ons het maar gelos. Ons water was vir die twee aande af in die ablusieblokke.

Most beautiful campsite along the Orange River! We really enjoyed this lovely campsite along the Orange River. The whole site is neat and the pool helped a lot in the heat! The bar and restaurant is a nice area and we enjoyed the incredible scenery. The campsite's bathrooms can improve.

Lekkerste kampplek langs die Oranjerivier! Ons het dié lieflike kampplek langs die Oranjerivier baie geniet. Die hele perseel is netjies en die swembad het baie gehelp in die hitte! Die kroeg en restaurant is 'n lekker kuier-area en ons het die ongelooflike natuurskoon geniet. Die kampplek se badkamers kan wel verbeter.

Seesaw; ranging from anticipation to disappointment. Pool manna though! Friendly reception at first, but... Beautiful location on the Orange River, especially after visiting drought-stricken Namibia and Richtersveld. Accommodation does not meet requirement especially when temperature is mid 40's and air conditioners are not functioning properly. Bathrooms only zinc roof which has sauna effect. Other units (similarly more luxurious) were not occupied - not sure we got what we booked for? Smokers (visitors - family/friends of management?) get preference for deck and resident guests banished to porch under zinc roof where heat is unbearable; management decided that they did not want to accept alternative arrangement. On request if they can help with tea bags for our guests from Scotland - answer concise no. Water tank runs empty through the night and no toilet/other water. Knock a person up and eventually supply is restored. On sale car picks up another nail in rear wheel!

Wipplank; wissel van afwagting na teleurstelling. Swembad egter manna! Aanvanklik vriendelik ontvang, maar... Ligging teen Oranjerivier pragtig, veral na besoek aan droogtegeteisterde Namibia en Richtersveld. Akkommodasie voldoen nie aan vereiste nie veral wanneer temperatuur middel 40's is nie en lugreëlaars nie behoorlik funksioneer nie. Badkamers net sinkdak wat sauna-effek het. Ander eenhede (meer luuks gelyk) was nie bewoon nie - nie seker ons het gekry waarvoor ons bespreek het nie? Rokers (besoekers - familie/vriende van bestuur?) kry voorkeur vir dek en inwonende gaste verban na stoep onder sinkdak waar hitte ondraaglik is; bestuur beslis dat hulle nie alternatiewe reëling wil aanvaar nie. Op versoek of hulle kan help met teesakkie vir ons gaste van Skotland - antwoord bondige no. Watertenk loop leeg deur nag en geen toilet/ander water nie. Klop 'n persoon op en uiteindelik word toevoer herstel. Op koop tel motor nog 'n spyker in agterwiel op!
