Rivierplaas Campsite

Western Cape, Worcester, Breede River

Rivierplaas Campsite is a rustic Breede River camp on a working farm near Scherpenheuwel, south of Worcester. Grass stands sit under trees with river swimming, kayaking, and bank fishing.

The fishing

The camp sits on a side stream of the Breede River, not the main channel. Fishing is in the designated fishing areas only, a few metres from the stands. You cannot fish from your stand and there is no fishing in the swimming areas. Barbel, carp, bass, blue-gill and eel are caught. Barbel take chicken livers, carp take pap and mielie mix, and bass take spinners or lures. Bait and tackle are not sold or rented, so bring your own.
