Wilge River Resort

Wilge River Bush Camp offers lovely camping sites situated on the banks of the Wilgerivier, 50 kilometres from Emalahleni. This exclusive campsite features 15 carefully spaced sites, each accommodating four guests and offering unobstructed views of either mountains or bush. The property provides the perfect retreat for families or groups of friends seeking a nature-based camping experience. Guests are required to bring their own camping equipment and supplies, but the camp provides all essential infrastructure including electrical supply points, water points, and braai stands at each site.

The camp features communal facilities that encourage guest interaction and relaxation. There is a lovely children’s and adult swimming pool where guests can cool off on hot summer days, alongside a shared thatched-roof lapa area ideal for group gatherings. The property maintains three ablution blocks providing several toilets and showers, with the main central block featuring a Ladies’ bathroom with two baths and a shared scullery room for all campers. Secure parking is available for guest vehicles. The location is approximately 99 kilometres from Pretoria CBD, making it an ideal weekend getaway destination.

Wilge River Bush Camp is designed for guests seeking a quieter, more exclusive camping experience where they can unwind and immerse themselves in nature. The camp maintains strict no-smoking policies in buildings and ablution areas to prevent fire hazards. Guests are encouraged to explore the various nature and game reserves in the surrounding area, enjoy the scenic 4×4 routes, visit nearby golf courses and estates, or explore the local sculpture park.
