It's good to note that standard camping with shared ablutions is also available, as well as chalets for those who prefer not to camp.

The only reason I am not giving a higher rating is because of the lack of shade at the Private Camping spots. If they plant some trees this would significantly improve the experience. Despite this, we had a very enjoyable stay at River Chalets and if, in the future, I am looking for accommodation in the Mariental area, I will definitely...
