Fiddlers Creek

Fiddlers Creek is a campsite located in Vioolsdrift, on the banks of the Orange River in Namaqualand. It serves as the base camp for Bushwhacked Outdoor Adventures. The campsite is located on the banks of the Orange River, providing an oasis for travelers from both South Africa and Namibia. It is a base for Orange River rafting trips and 4x4 excursions into the Richtersveld.

With 200 meters of waterfront on the river and fourteen grassed campsites, Fiddlers Creek is essentially a bush camp equipped with modern facilities. Each site features an undercover kitchen with basins, running water, counter tops, lights, power points, and a built-in barbecue area. Some larger sites also have large tables and benches as permanent fixtures under the roofed area. The sites are enclosed with reed fences to provide privacy for campers.

Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are available upon advance booking, with a minimum group size requirement. A specialty at the campsite is the spit braai, where they endeavor to provide the meat of choice, complemented with home-baked breads on the coals, scrumptious salads, and desserts.

The campsite offers 4x4 sites for smaller groups and families. All five of these sites are river-front sites with ample shade. These sites are popular among people wanting to spend time camping at the Orange River. Each site has barbecue facilities, allowing visitors to enjoy fishing, swimming in the river, and peaceful evenings under the stars in privately enclosed spaces. Sites 1 to 4 are for camping, while site 5 has a permanent caravan available for hire. Tents, mattresses, and other camping gear are also available for rent.
