“Ons het baie lekker by julle gekuier. Dis ‘n besonderse plek wat julle daar langs die rivier het.”

Redakteur in WEG tydskrif“Ideally situated quite far off the main road with the quiet and tranquil surroundings. I’d definitely recommend this spot!“

“Great campsite for a single group of people. Fishing in the river directly from the campsite is nice. The wingerd stompies is a great plus!“

Where is Batis & Bass River Camp?
Where two rivers meet, your escape begins.
Listen. Can you hear it? It’s the sound of the Wit River whispering to the mighty Breede, right where they join forces. This is the heart of Batis & Bass River Camp.
Tucked away in the breathtaking Breedekloof Valley, we are your secluded sanctuary. While just minutes from Worcester and Ceres, we feel a world apart from the noise and rush of city life.
This is the perfect patch of earth for you, your friends, and your family to unplug, gather around a fire, and reconnect.
Escape the ordinary. Discover your riverside hideout.
Three Campsites: Batis, Bass, and Ficus
Our three secluded campsites are nestled close together yet crafted for privacy.
- Each campsite promises an exclusive retreat thanks to the lush tree line and river views.
- Each campsite has an ablution block (consisting of a toilet, gas shower, basin, and sink) for the exclusive use of the campers of that campsite.
- Electricity points are available in the camping areas.
- All campsites offer easy, direct access for all motor vehicles, campers, and caravans.
Batis Campsite
Batis campsite can accommodate up to 20 people (which includes children younger than seven).
Bass Campsite
Like Batis, Bass campsite can also accommodate up to 20 people (which includes children younger than seven).
Ficus Campsite

This campsite has a splash pool, ideal for relaxing with friends. A wood-fired donkey is connected to the splash pool for heated water if desired.
Please note that the Ficus campsite is not suitable for young children, since, if they are in the river, it’s not possible to keep an eye on them from this campsite.
