Stompdrift Dam Water Resort

Stompdrift Dam Water Resort sits on the largest dam in the Klein Karoo, located approximately 8 km from De Rust in the Western Cape.

Nestled between the Swartberg and Kamanassie Mountain Ranges and adjacent to Meiringspoort, the resort is surrounded by pristine hills and unspoilt vegetation supporting more than 2,500 plant species and 50 bird species, including African eagles and spoonbills.

The resort caters to campers and caravanners with powered sites, water taps, ablutions, braai areas, a scullery, laundry facilities, a kids' play area, and a recreation room. Self-catering cottages with an African safari character are also available.

The dam itself is the main draw, offering a wide range of water activities including fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and water skiing, making it a popular destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
