Westvaal Holiday Resort
Nestled on the banks of the Vaal River, Westvaal Holiday Resort stands as a testament to almost 50 years of natural beauty, fishing, and family tradition.
Centrally located between Parys, Sasolburg, and Vanderbijlpark, this family-owned resort offers an authentic camping experience and rustic wooden cabins for those seeking convenience amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Vaal River region.

Over the years, Johan's hard work and dedication shaped Westvaal into one of the favorite campsites and fishing spots in the region.
Today, as the second-generation owners, the family continues to share Johan's passion, keeping his legacy alive.
