Link copied to clipboard

Ideally situated on the warm Indian Ocean coastline, Scottburgh Caravan Park is widely regarded as one of the most iconic holiday destinations on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. Famous for its terraced layout, the resort offers guests an experience that is hard to beat: the sea views from most of the caravan stands are what will keep you coming back year after year.

The resort’s slogan is not an exaggeration – if you were any closer to the beach, you would be on the sand! Stretching over a kilometre along the coast, the resort offers direct access to the main swimming beach, making it the ultimate destination for sun-seekers, water babies, and families looking for a classic seaside holiday.

Camping with a View

Scottburgh Caravan Park is designed to maximise the natural beauty of its location. The park features spacious caravan and camping sites, many of which are elevated to provide uninterrupted panoramic views of the ocean. Waking up to a golden sunrise over the water is a daily luxury here.

The facilities are designed to handle the influx of holidaymakers that flock here during peak seasons:

Sites: Well-maintained grass stands with access to electricity.
Ablutions: Multiple ablution blocks are conveniently located throughout the park, ensuring hot showers and clean facilities are never far away.
Security: The park is fenced and secure, allowing you to relax completely while the kids roam freely on their bicycles.

Beach Activities and Aliwal Shoal

The kilometre-long stretch of coast bordering the resort is a playground for water enthusiasts. The main Scottburgh beach is protected by shark nets and lifeguards, ensuring safe swimming for the whole family. The bay is also ideal for snorkelling and bodyboarding.

For the more adventurous, Scottburgh is the gateway to the Aliwal Shoal, a world-renowned marine protected area. It is one of the top dive sites in the world, famous for its Ragged-tooth sharks and diverse reef life. Guests can easily plan a deep-sea fishing charter or a scuba-diving trip with one of the local operators based nearby.

Family Fun and The Supertube

Scottburgh Caravan Park is a paradise for children. Aside from the natural attraction of the beach, the resort boasts two sparkling swimming pools within the grounds. There is a dedicated play park, volleyball courts, and trampolines to burn off that extra energy.

A major highlight for any child (and the young at heart) visiting Scottburgh is the famous supertube. When the weather is hot, families head to the water slides located just 500 metres along the beach. This saltwater slide system is a local landmark and provides hours of adrenaline-fuelled fun. Additionally, the resort offers an entertainment hall and organised entertainment programmes during peak holiday seasons to ensure the little ones are never bored.

Nearby Attractions: Golf and Nature

The South Coast’s stunning climate all year round makes it the ideal caravanning destination, even in the winter months. Scottburgh Caravan Park serves as the perfect base to explore the region.
