Berg River Resort

I had a great time , after 25 years of not camping . The only problem was the fact that the curfew is a bit early it felt like I was in lockdown . The last night of our stay we got the people behind us was extremely roudy , the where arguing , almost fighting till 3 the morning . The security was there but when he left it just went on again.My daughter had an allergic reaction late one night there was no first aid lucky for me a very helpful aunty came to the toilet , I asked her if she perhaps had allergex, fortunately he has also had a allergic reaction that same day so she gave me of the tablets they gave her husband I'm very greatful for that aunty , I didn't get a chance to go and thank her again cause when we got up they already left

Upon arrival, my experience started off on the wrong foot. The two receptionists were very unwelcoming and looked at me as if I didn’t belong there until they realised I was actually a guest. Only then did they greet me, but even so, their attitude didn’t improve much. Although the environment itself was slightly peaceful, I didn’t really enjoy my stay. I spent a few days there in October, and it’s clear that things have changed over the years — unfortunately not for the better. For what they charge, the resort feels overpriced. The chalet appeared clean at first glance, but once inside, it became obvious that the cleanliness was only surface‑level. The shower was dirty, the kitchen tiles were greasy and I even found tiny roaches on the crockery. They also have set geyser times, which I found quite strange and inconvenient. Fortunately, I had brought my own items for halaal purposes, but even then I couldn’t use my own pan because the induction stove only works with their pots and pans. What stood out most was how fixated the resort seems to be on enforcing fines — whether it’s for not using their cookware or for breaking the “no noise” rule — instead of focusing on creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for guests. Overall, the stay felt more stressful than relaxing and definitely not worth the price.

Our family had so much fun. Loved that us moms could get tubes and relax in the river while the kids enjoyed the pool. All of us enjoyed the super tube. That pool is a little too shallow. All in all we had a great day. Vendors had some interesting goods on sale. Loved that we could braai there, no alcohol allowed and no loud music. Parking is pricey considering everyone iver 3 is already R150 Would definitely visit again.

We went twice in one week as just day visitors. R150pp entrance for the day and R150 per car. Most day visitors go to the pools, which leaves the most beautiful river with abundant space to swim and take pics in your floaties. There are many braai spots available. There are many activities for kids ie water slides, pools, mini go carting, goat and chicken feeding etc there's also a take aways and bar at the pool side.

Camping at Berg River Resort as a biannual event for our family. There are good facilities. It's amazing for the kids and safely is phenomenal. There is now a mini mall less than a kilometer away which is great to stock up, especially for longer stays. The only two shortcomings are that the plots can be very dusty and not level enough for comfort or convenience. Secondly, the up keeping of the toilet/bathrooms are touch and go. We do owe Berg River Resort for some of the best memories growing up for us and our kids.

Amazing gem of a place in Paarl. Green grass to camp on and so much to do there. Water slide and pools for the children, float on tubes and swim on the river, putt putt (adventure golf), a brilliant convenience store for basics as well as a good well priced takeaway (menu attached) on site for those that get hurgry between the evening braais. Toilet and restroom ammedities clean with continual hot water. I love the fact that no music is allowed at this site cause. Definitely be back again.

My family and I visited for the first time as day visitors, and unfortunately, we would not return. While the facility itself is clean, the overall experience was disappointing due to a lack of control and supervision. There was very little respect from both adults and children. Lifeguards were socialising with visitors instead of actively monitoring the pools. Children were splashing others with water guns in the baby pool without any consideration for those around them. We experienced an incident where children were playing with a ball in front of the big pool, repeatedly hitting it into our area. We had a toddler with us who could easily have been hurt. Even after asking them to move to the field, they continued playing there, and no lifeguard intervened. Another incident involved my 2-year-old daughter being splashed in the face by other children her age while their parents sat and watched without correcting them. This behaviour should not be allowed, especially in areas meant for small children. There is a serious need for stricter supervision, more visible and alert lifeguards, and better crowd control. More shaded areas would also be appreciated. Overall, the place lacks order and proper management. The environment felt chaotic and unsafe. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our visit. I would not recomnend this place.

Its was okay... Not what it used to be. The 11 o clock the evening rule and no music policy needs to be looked at.... People come there to have fun and relax..... Im not saying allow them to blast there music.... But allow them to play it for themselves at least.... And 11 o clock pm the people can not talk loud... Whats that all about... Its a camp! We pay money and are not children to be treated like that... The venue its self gets a 5 star... The rest of it.... No comment.... Wont be going back there again.
