To the best of my knowledge there are no caravan parks with dedicated pensioners in South Africa. Having said that, if you go to Tsipise during the winter months you may beg to differ. It is an Aventura Resort, and may be a bit on the pricey side, and probably as far from the coast as you can possibly get.

I know of two caravan parks with permanent residents near to the sea. The one is Kays Caravan Park situated at 54 Woltemade St, Strand, Western Cape.

The structures some people lived in comprised Wendy Houses, and created the impression that it could be a squatter camp in a nice suburb.

Some time ago a fire (as often happens in squatter camps) caused damage to structures in that park. I have not gone past there recently, so my observation may be dated.

The other permanent caravan park near the sea that I know of is Riverside Caravan Park on the Goukou River near Stilbaai. This is a very nice park which is owned on a sectional title basis. I suppose the local estate agents should be aware of stands that become for sale in that park. It is on the river, which streches over 22 kilometers of navigatable water, with the result that most campers are also boat owners. Nice for fishing!

The river used to have another name, which if used today can land you in deep, deep trouble.

Sorry Dereck finger fout  Banana 

Dereck, we camped for a week at Imhoff Caravan Park in Kommetjie last year.  There were quite a few permanent caravanners.   From what we could see they all seemed very happy there.  Their website does not give rates for permanents, you would probably have to go speak to them to find out more.   We enjoyed the park very much and it is absolutely well sheltered from the wind.   Freda

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the info.
