Camping Sites
Stands
The camp site only has 3 stands , which are large and well grassed. Each stand also has its own 3x3m shade cloth structure with a wooden table and benches. The ground is soft and it is easy to drive your tent pegs in.
Electricity
Each site has its own electricity connection, but as the stands are large, so bring your extension cord along (just in case).
Ablutions
There are 2 wooden ablution facilities for all the campsites. The ablutions are very quaint. There is a toilet, a basin and a shower in each one. The hot water to the bathrooms is supplied by gas geysers, so there is ample hot water to go around. The ablutions are always kept neat and clean. Just be aware that the shower only has a curtain, so wet floors are inevitable after the shower has been in use.
Braais
Each site has a braai drum. You will need to bring your own braai grid. Wood can be purchased at reception.
Bins
Bins are provided on the campsites.
Washing up
There is a washing up area adjacent to the ablutions.
On site
The main attraction a Umshanti is the access to the dam.
Each site has a beautiful view of the dam and the surrounding mountains.
The dam can be accessed via a steep road or a steep path from the campsite.
Canoes are free for use
Boat cruises can be arranged with the owner (Kosie)
A smaller, flat bottom boat can be hired for the day
You can book a flight with Kosie on his microlight and have a view of the surrounding area from above
There is a communal fridge/freezer for use by campers

Camping Review Umshanti, Swellendam, Overberg, South Africa
Taking a break from Pig Farming, we went camping at Umshanti close to Swellendam Western Cape, South Africa.
Umshanti is a small resort in Swellendam in the Overberg, Western Cape of South Africa. It's a small private camping resort and host about 4 camping sites and if you are looking for a small isolated camping site in the Overberg, I will recommend Umshanti as the best small private camping resort in the Western Cape
A beautiful river, rowing, fishing and power hang gliding is some of the activities you can do there.
Swellendam is know as the 7th oldest town in South Africa
A great weekend fishing, boating, hang gliding and of course a barbecue or two.
