Storms River Mouth Rest Camp Accommodation Garden Route National Park SANParks

Storms River Mouth Rest Camp

The Tsitsikamma Section of the Garden Route National Park stretches from west of Nature’s Valley to the east of Storms River Mouth, including 5 km of the sea, protecting a wonderland of inter-tidal, reef and deep sea life. A remote mountainous area with breathtaking sea views, deep and secluded valleys and 80 kilometres of rocky coastline is included in this spectacular reserve.

Tsitsikamma is a Khoi-Khoi word meaning “the place of much water” and refers to the numerous estuaries and ancient rivers which carved their paths to the ocean down steep and rocky ravines.
