Montagu Caravan Park

Description

Ideally located midway between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn on the famous Route 62, where you can visit ‘padstalle’, arts and crafts stalls, antique furniture galleries, hot mineral springs, savor sweet fruit and visit the excellent wine tasting cellars in the area.

Situated in the middle of an apricot orchard surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views of the Cogmans Kloof Mountains, this pristine resort offers beautifully laid out and grassed camping sites for caravans, motor homes and campers. Electricity on site and conveniently well appointed ablution facilities, complimented with bright blue skies, determines the Montagu Caravan Park as a definite must in your holiday and traveling itinerary.

For those travelers touring without caravanning and camping, we offer excellent fully furnished and equipped self-catering chalets and wooden cabins for the backpacker.

The tranquil dam on the property is home to a large variety of bird life, and is ideal for fishing, bird watching and paddle-boating. Serene beauty and a sense of calm prevails at our picturesque dam, where early mornings and late evenings represent a special treat as our dam reflects stunning African sunrises and sunsets.

For the outdoor sport enthusiast, you can explore hiking trails or pit your off-road skills on one of the 4 x 4 routes in the area. The unique village of Montagu is also well known for its extreme rock climbing, and for the not so adventurous, you can simply relax at our sparkling swimming pool.

This is a family park, and is endorsed by CCSA, SAWA and MCSA, and is also regularly voted as one of the Top 100 caravan Parks in South Africa.

Our caravan park is pet friendly, and we offer very special and attractive rates for Senior Citizens for long or even short term stays.

For a very special treat, Montagu Caravan Park is the rendezvous where you can meet and make good friends all year round.
