Accessible via the scenic R326, this family-friendly retreat in the Overberg is designed to give campers of all ages a balanced mix of comfort, entertainment, and outdoor adventure.
There are 56 campsites, most of them grassed, and all equipped with 220V power points and braai drums for relaxed evenings under the stars. Partial tree cover provides welcome shade in many areas, and the resort caters to tents, caravans, and motorhomes alike.

There’s also paintball, mini-golf, and a zoo with farm animals that entertains all ages.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find hiking and mountain biking trails, fishing spots, and 4×4 tracks, while sports fans can watch South African rugby matches on a big screen. Bird watchers and nature lovers can explore the area’s quieter corners at their own pace.
The on-site tuck shop stocks essentials and snacks, and accepts both card and cash. While Vloedbos is not pet-friendly, it is securely fenced, family-focused, and offers free cellphone reception.
