Berg River Resort

A weekend away or longer break needs the right base. Families planning school holidays, couples seeking a quiet escape, and groups wanting to recharge often find themselves weighing options — where can we go that won't drain the budget, that has space for the kids to run around, and that feels like an actual break rather than a rushed day trip? Paarl's position between the winelands and the Berg River makes it an obvious choice, and having a campsite nearby means you're not fighting traffic back to the city each evening. What matters is finding a place that handles the practicalities — good ablution facilities, security that lets you sleep properly, pitches with enough shade when the summer heat builds up, and enough going on (or enough peace and quiet) depending on what you came for. The difference between a camping experience that restores you and one you'd rather forget often comes down to those details.
