Big Fish Caravan Park

Big Fish Caravan and Camping sits directly on the Gamtoos River, roughly 3 km from the river mouth and about 20 km from Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape.

The park is set on a working dairy farm, giving campers the distinctive backdrop of grazing dairy cows alongside river scenery.

The Gamtoos carries salt water as far as 8 km inland, making it a productive fishing ground for species including grunter, dusky kob, garrick, and Cape stumpnose. Boat anglers can launch from the park, and shore fishing is popular up and down the riverbanks.

The campground offers 40 sites on grassed ground, each with electricity, drinking water, a braai stand with grid, and a night light. The furthest site sits no more than 75 m from the water's edge.

Facilities include ablution blocks with family bathrooms, a swimming pool, and an on-site shop selling wood and ice. The park is family- and pet-friendly and accepts long-stay guests.
