The Growcery Camp

The Growcery Camp is an eco-campsite perched on the southern bank of the Orange River in the Richtersveld, Northern Cape, roughly 22 km downstream from the Vioolsdrift border post between South Africa and Namibia.

It sits in one of the country's most arid landscapes, yet the riverbank setting provides a striking contrast of water and mountain scenery, with views across to the Namibian ranges.

The camp serves as a natural access point to the Orange River and the surrounding Richtersveld wilderness. Activities on offer include river rafting, kayak hire, guided hikes, 4x4 safari trails, fishing, and sunset picnics.

Fresh meals are prepared on-site, with the camp growing a portion of its own produce. Campsites range from private to shared, and the night skies in this remote desert location are a draw in themselves.
