Whether you're visiting for a sailing regatta, a weekend getaway, or simply looking to unwind in nature, Henley Midmar Yacht Club offers a choice of camping and cabin accommodation to suit every guest.
Lakeside Campsite
Wake up to breathtaking views over the sparkling waters of Midmar Dam. Our lakeside campsite offers an idyllic setting where you can relax, enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings. Convenient bush ablution facilities, including toilets and hot showers, are located nearby, ensuring a comfortable stay while maintaining the charm of outdoor camping.
Lakeside Cabins
Nestled within our picturesque lakeside campsite are five charming timber cabins, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional camping while allowing you to remain immersed in nature. Each cabin accommodates a maximum of four guests and is furnished with a combination of queen-size and single beds, making them ideal for couples, families, or small groups.
The cabins share the nearby bush ablution facilities, which include toilets and hot showers. Guests are required to bring their own bedding and linen, including fitted sheets, duvets or sleeping bags, pillows, pillowcases, blankets, and towels, as the club supplies the beds only.
Clubhouse Campsite
Situated adjacent to the clubhouse, this campsite is perfect for guests who prefer easy access to the club's facilities. Campers have full use of the clubhouse ablutions, including modern toilets and hot showers, while remaining just a short stroll from the waterfront, clubhouse, restaurant and bar facilities, and the heart of club life.
Whether you choose the serenity of our lakeside campsite, the comfort of our lakeside cabins, or the convenience of camping beside the clubhouse, you'll enjoy the warm hospitality, spectacular scenery, and relaxed atmosphere that have made Henley Midmar Yacht Club one of South Africa's most picturesque inland sailing destinations.
