Sterland Caravan Park

Campsites at the Sterland Caravan Park, located 1 km outside Sutherland, offer a typical farm atmosphere under the vast star-studded night sky. Seven stands are available, with electricity and a clean ablution block. You are welcome to camp with a tent/trailer/caravan. There are no chalets at the camping site.

The stands are nicely laid between the Chinese poplars and Soutbos. The surface is gravel, and is ideal for camping. On the side of the premises is a Muisbos enclosure, two metres high, with a braai area in the centre with surrounding lights and a electrical plug. Each stand also has a separate braai area.

The ablution block has a scullery in the centre, with the ladies shower and toilet on the one side and gents on the other side. The ablution block is serviced every morning and washing lines are available. Wood can be obtained at the local shops in town.
A splash pool is available for those warm summer days.
We run our own private stargazing with six telescopes at the campsite every night - booking is essential.

    "The stands were well protected from the wind and the road to town just next to the park. It was very peaceful and so close to town, but you did not even notice that. A very convenient stay over if you want to visit SALT and explore Sutherland."

  • "Rustig en stil"

    20 November 2017

    "'n Groot probleem is kommunikasie, ek het ongeveer twee maande voor die tyd plek bespreek en deposito betaal. Op Safari se aandrang het ek twee weke voor die tyd die uitstaande balans moet betaal wat ek gedoen het. Die oggend van my vertrek word ek genader en gevra oor uitstaande balans. Siende ek soos 'n ordentlike persoon net wou groet en bedank vir die aan gename tyd wat ek beleef het en die vriendelikheid was die vir my 'n dolk in die hart en het my laat voel of ek soos 'n skelm wou uitglip. Ek vertrou dat U iets in die sisteem sal in bou om hierdie soort van VERLEENTHEID te kan voorkom. Dit laat 'n suursmaak op 'n verskriklike besonderse tien dae wat ek in Sutherland beleef het.U is welkom om my hieroor in te lig."

    "We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Sterland. It is such a neat and well kept caravan/campsite with all the necessary amenities. The ablutions are spotless and the carefully planted trees provide shade and cool the air. Would definitely recommend it, especially if you want to see the stars. <br/><br/>Please note that the only petrol station in Sutherland has specific business hours and is only open from 11.30-12.00 on Sundays."
