Our story begins in 2004 when Johan and Anneke Swart started Sitrusoewer as a small and private picnic spot on their farm next to the river. While it was reserved for friends and family, it quickly gained local popularity and the demand for a camping and fishing spot in the area lead to it being expanded over time. It now boasts a lapa, 4 cabins, 25 camping sites and 4 ablutions.
Sitrusoewer River Camp evolved with the times to be more comfortable whilst being more tuned in to nature. While we have a generator for loadshedding, it is far from the premises and guests get to enjoy all the luxury without the noise. The cabins are also equipped with a few basic appliances and aircons, because the less you have to pack, the better! We welcome day visitors, long-standing campers and everyone in between!
While staying at Sitrusoewer can bring endless fun and enjoyment, sometimes you want to explore the nearby areas as well. We get that. Sitrusoewer is a mere 50km drive from Addo National Elephant Park, where you could spend the day going on game drives. If you are interested in something a bit more hair-raising, we are also located about 35km from Adrenaline Addo Adventures. If there’s anything else you want to try, don’t hesitate to ask. We will try to help to the best of our ability.
Yes, please respect the orchards, no picking!
