Typical farm atmosphere with lots of space for camping and cottages. These are separate from the main farm with a nice stream passing by. The campsites has ablution facilities close- by. A very nice place to relax and wind down from the everyday hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle...

Great campsite. Friendly staff. Awesome cycling.

A rustic but lovely situated campsite. For the number of sites we felt bigger ablution blocks were needed.Was very peaceful and worth a 2nd visit but not in high season.

My happy place. I have been back here so many times. I cant recommend it any higher. Its beautiful.

Had the most divine cocktails and pizza at Jamaka Cafe yesterday eveningCrust was thin and the toppings freshThe Jamaka cocktail is made with local organic orange juice, sweet and tastyGood vibe and musicDefinitely recommendedAlso bought organic wine, organic dried mango pieces without any added sugar or preservativesas well as citrus honey at the farmstall.. Well worth the visit

Best place to get out and relax while being surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The family that runs it is the most friendly and accommodating people you will meet. Couldnt recommend this special spot more highly!!

Weve been to Jamaka twice, staying in a different spot each time (30-something last time, and 17c in January 2021).One thing about Jamaka Ive always appreciated is how large the farm is. There are many campsites to choose from, many of which are along a beautiful flowing stream that is a life-saver in the hot summer months (we literally spent an average of 5 hours in the water each day just to stay cool). Some sites are bigger/smaller than others, so pay attention when making your online booking. Also on offer are chalets and cabins for those who prefer not to camp.The hosts are very welcoming, friendly, and super helpful in pointing you in the right direction when looking for your site, and as to where the hiking trails start. You will also meet some quirky animals at the reception area (ie. a horse who is obsessed with the sprinkler, and a large goat that faithfully keeps watch from the lawn.)Jamaka is a citrus and mango farm. I am not exaggerating when I say that they sell THE tastiest organic dried mango slices and fresh orange juice I have ever had. They also sell farm-grown rooibos and buchu tea, as well as snacks, drinks, and other useful bits and bobs you might need during your stay.There are a number of shared ablution blocks distributed between the campsites, all of which have been very clean and neat when weve visited. There is also a covered communal wash-up area. In season you can also indulge in some delicious hot snacks, ice creams, and milkshakes at the little restaurant near the main swimming area (be prepared for a long wait, though). Speaking of swimming areas, there are 2 large pools (one with a zip-line that the kids were crazy about), and a smaller pool which is great for the parents with small toddlers.The hikes were very enjoyable and afforded a good view of the valley. The trails differ in terms of length and difficulty, just ask at reception before you start out.This is definitely a place geared toward families, so if you are looking for absolute quiet and tranquillity, then consider visiting during the off-season months. Otherwise, we highly recommend a stay here for friends and family.

Amazing weekend camping with family... Truly memorable. Very affordable and great for ziplining for the bigger kids and adults. Rock pools are awesome.. A bit chilly but your body adjusts... Hiking trails were awesome too. Easy and not too long.

A great place to enjoy.Plot locations and sizes, swimming holes, the river itself, the cafe, the peoples.Didnt have time to do a hike or two but they were easily accessibly.Facilities are solar powered so dont expect close to warm water on an overcast day but place is great!

Stunning environmentSuper serviceA place to exhale and recharge

Awesome place to stay.Peace and quiet

We camped at Jamaka and it was top class at very fair pricing. The owners went to a lot of trouble to make one feel close to nature. Its an honest no frills campsite. They offer a wide variety of camping spots - you never feel cramped for space - with electricity. The ablutions is practical and neat, just remember to supply your own toilet paper (the small convenience shop will sort you out with white gold if you forgot). As for activities: two great pools in the mountain stream for swimming and foefie slide, paint ball, easy hikes for the family and even soft serve ice cream and milk shakes! Jamaka will definitely see us again.

The best Camping experience in a long time. Friendly staff great facilities and beautiful nature setting. We will definitely go back.

Amazing place would definitely go back

Best family camping site! Super friendly and helpful staff. So clean and value for money. Great river pools for swimming. Small camp cafe with pizza and snacks kept us staying longer 😉

Very nice place, cottage 9. Everything you need is there, even an in house fireplace. Beautiful view over mountain and valley. Although it rained buckets, was cold and even hail fell, we managed to walk up the mountain, down along the river and up a stream gushing down the hill. Well tended camping and cottages. Would be great in summer. Fabulous river to swim in! Thank you, we( 3 sisters) had a good visit

The camping at Jamaka is exquisite. They have a number of fully equipped cottages you can rent, ample camping space and even log cabins* for those who want something between camping and cottage. All very close to the river, aka natural pool. They had ice cold drink, fresh juice, soft serve and pizza right there!*Note, these log cabins are equipped with a kitchen (utensils, glasses, basin, little fridge and microwave) and bunk beds. You will need to bring along your own bedding and towels, and use the campsite bathrooms. (However, a HUGE thank you to Jamaka for supplying us with everything we needed and couldnt fit onto our moto!)The road up and through the mountain was breathtaking. Gravel and lots of fun. We encountered a couple of 4x4d caravans along with your typical Fortuner roaming around. But the gravel is pretty manageable (on our day anyway, might be different if it rained) and the occasional sedan was also noticed on the road. Do your research and contact the campsites to stay up to date on road conditions. We rented a very durable motorcycle from Dusty Route Adventures which was nice and light, and exceeded all of our needs and expectations.Jamaka staff were friendly and very helpful. We appreciated all the chats and advice and would definitely visit again!

Just loved the place ,well received at reception by the owners,clean ablution blocs,loved the zipline,peacefull and tranquility at its best

Loved it. Very friendly host. Excellent farm products on sale.

Excellent camping site, private, lots trees, beautiful streams of rivers all over. Nice hiking and running spots. Ice cold pools was amazing.

Beautiful large campsites right next to the river. Small toilets and minimal wash up areas, but overall fantastic vibe, location and so much activities to choose from including paintball!

The most amazing getaway gem in the mountains

Extremely nice camping experience away from city life. Well stocked cafe and office as well, with a topping of friendly service.Superb cocktails available at the café.

Super friendly host, Jannie welcomed us. The camp area has increased to a whopping 80 sites- and at no stage, other than from # 55 onwards, do you feel cramped. We visited during quiet time, river front (when flowing) sites and the beautiful mountain right around. A quick 24 km ride on the back road , to Clanwilliam. Basic ablutions, might not cope during busy periods . Only fridge and power for lights, no kettles, aircons or microwaves. Solar for bathrooms and wash up.Swimming holes with dammed river water.

What a place!! Spent Xmas there with family. Just loved it. Next to the river. Nothing beats camping. Jamaca is a very special place. Will be back.

Nice relaxing atmosphere and good for a weekend getaway.

The camp site is peaceful and right on the edge of the river with three rock pools which is easily accessible. The staff is awesome and the vibe at their little cost bar is fantastic.

Best guest farm out there!

Oh my word, it was so beautiful,

What a great place to go for a weekend! The campsites are awesome down by the pool and ablutions great! We had a great weekend

Lovely camping and most frendley people. Jannie Nieuwoudt the owner is one of the most incredible person we ever met. Thanks your great hope to see you soon.

What a wonderful and tranquil place to relax and get those batteries charged up once again?! The river tuns throughout the camp site, which is such a pretty feature. Ablutions are few and far between, but the sheer beauty of nature is what this camp site is all about. Friendly reception, small shop available stocking wood at fair prices! Would like to visit soon again.

Great for groups. Great for relaxing. Perfect camp site.

One of the Best places Ive been to in my years of camping. Katrin is always accommodating.

Fab weekend in House 5, big enough for 2 or 3 families. Kids had a ball meeting the local horse and heard of sheep. Will definitely be back

Amazing warm and friendly. Loved the experience...

Beautiful setting next to the river. Basic ablutions, but well worth it for down to earth camping. Friendly reception.

Stuning, will be going back for another peaceful weakend.

Very nice place. Very friendly owners. Hope to be heading back there soon

Well run. Clean ablutions. Shop with all necessities. Great camp area!

Very nice and shady campsite...lovely stream for kids to play in and big jungle gym.Showers and toilets nice and clean with hot water.

Excellent, tranquil spot for a getaway. The wonder of nature!

Perfect holiday destination. Something for everyone here 👍

The best camping site if been to in years ⛺🏕️😁❤️

Again a hidden gem in the mountains. We rented a whole house... wow such value for money.... and swam all day long in the dam with a zip line... everything we wanted was there. Friendly owners .... just had a great time only wished it could have been longer

Great place to relax, must visit the Jamaka camp bar!Thanks Jamaka for a great breakfast too!

Loved the serenity, rustic and very relaxing. However.... just dont like the spiders...We were in House No 4. Please change to a double bed mattress.Otherwise definitely coming back!

Camp there for 7 days, had a swell time in raw nature with the family, will have to go back to do a repeat.

Its a beautiful location in the mountains. Peaceful and tranquil. Ive never seen a night sky as beautiful. Definitely wont find that close to any city.The only thing is getting there is about 35km of dirt road so going with a bakkie is preferable.

Fantastic facilities, great hospitality and the nature is undescribable.

This was such a beautiful surprise, a paradise in the Cedarburg, campsites next to a small river stream, beautiful view of mountains

Wonderful campsite and friendly staff surrounded by mountains and a river

An absolute gem! I cant believe its taken so long for us to stay here.Wonderful place. Beautiful setting, peaceful!Owner is very helpful.Great place for a family retreat.God is good.

Great to get away from it all..safe for kids 🏕️

It was a great outdoor experience however there are many gravel roads. A 4X4 is preferable. Roads are not suitable for lowered cars. You can only make use of the river pools.

Very clean and well maintained self catering site.Well worth a visit.

Had an amazing weekend camping next to the river. Wil definitly be back as soon as possible

Loud music from at least two parties. Deof doef almost through the night. All this despite them having a rule against playing music, but sadly not enforced. Thankfully we were not too near but wont take the chance again.

For me it was an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately we only had time to stay for one night, but I think its worth while to stay at least a couple of days. Jamakas ambience removed my mind from the city woes and reminded me that there are better, simpler ways of living. Very friendly and interesting owners. Comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Fantastic pool. Gorgeous animals. Mesmerizing views. I definitely plan to revisit and tag my friends along.

Outstanding place....run by a well-organized:democratic family team.Highly recommended fir hikers:mountain devotees.Those wanting a quiet but interesting break should try out Jamaka....you wont be disappointed...and it will be the first of many future vidits.Lilian Bron.Mexin Madonci and Vivian Mjongile.

Gorgeous spot in the cederberg with excellent camping facilities. The campsites are large, private and situated right next to the river with electricity and very clean ablutions. The owner Katrin and her husband are extremely warm and welcoming and the shop has tons of wonderful home grown products to buy and delicious craft beers on sale. Jamaka is a place we always come back to!

Really nice stay, just a warning for the roads to get to the campsite. Would recommend a 4x4/ bakkie. But once you there its really amazing

Soooo accomodating and lively

It was great to get away. Our camp site was amazing. Some of the other camp sites have no grass or tree cover, but you just need to be specific on your needs when booking.GREAT PLACE

Great camping adventure.Expansive camps sites available, with electric points nearby and various ablution and wash up blocks spread around. There are also braai spots per camping site. To cool down, there is a lovely pool fed with ice cold mountain water as well as shallow streams that flow along the site.Best to go with a 4x4 or a car with good suspension, to deal with the 18km gravel roads upon entering the camp site.A great and fun time to getaway from the urban rush with some friends and family.

Even though this majestic valley has been devastated by fire recently it is still beautiful beyond words. Our cabin was delightfully rustic but comfortable. The Jamaka staff are super friendly and helpful and the shop at reception stocks essentials as well as the best dried mango, frozen organic orange juice and fantastic craft beer. The 2 swimming holes along the river are just fabulous for all ages, the best way to just relax and wile away a day or 3.

Direct line-of-sight to Vodacom tower makes for great reception. You can even sit right next to it and do your conference calls, but it is a hike up with 270m ascent so not for everyone.Lots of leopard prints and poo but no sightings.Epic kloof down the Rondegat river, a must do for all you hardcore canyoneers.

The original Wolfberg crack. Bushman caves, Rooiberg traverse a must! Machine gun not for everyone but highly recommended (looks bigger from up close). Beware of the German oracle. Rare opportunity to capture and release the Namaqua Burrower scorpion, as well as picking a mango or naartjie with prior arrangement with farmer, otherwise you’ll get caught on camera. Fooffy slide and cold water immersion not for the faint hearted. Puppies and panda bears every 6 months if you’re lucky.

Fantastic place. The houses are well equiped and clean. Home away from home and more. Relaxing atmosphere. Hidden gem by far.

Lovely camping farm and family with delicious dried mango

Beautiful, peaceful, natures best.

What a wonderful surprise! The view, the fireplace (my personal happy place) and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This is a wonderful gem weve discovered.

This is a good camp away from the hussle and bussle of everyday life. The road from the N7 is a gravel road, so a bit rough on a normal sedan car, but doable.The site is well maintained and staff are very friendly.

Excellent camping ground. Very nice and polite owners. Beautiful views when swimming, mountain biking, climbing and driving to Jamaka Organic Farm. I always recommend it to German tourists, because the owners can speak German. Ideal place for a family vacation.

All 10 of us camped on this beautiful farm for 4 days. The campsites are spectacular , the loos and showers are extremely good. The walks in and around the Cederberg and the farm are spectacular. I highly recomend Jamaka

Amazing campsite and very peaceful. No music is allowed so the days are filled with laughing children and campfires at knight. You can hike in the mountains for free and without a permit but no overnight hikes and no fires. Fishing is also allowed but the fish are very small.

Great camping spot

The Cederberg is beautiful, at Jamaka it is perfect for families. The river is safe, their are canoes, fireplaces and if you love hiking their are tons of trails all over!

Great

I stopped at Jamaka looking for a spot to do a mountain biking trail. Katrien was very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. Good coffee. Great beer. The campsite looks very green and sheltered right by the river. The MTB trail was great. All around a great experience. I will definitely come stay here in future.

Beautiful and peaceful...

We had a lovely time on the farm and loved the hikes and the swims in the beautiful river. However, we were very disappointed with the cottage itself, and expected a bit more comfort for the price - single beds (when a double bed was guaranteed), a very old and dirty braai grid, no candles/wood/fire lighters, some lights not working, cracked windows, peeling wall paint, no towels, 1 small roll of toilet paper, broken kitchen utensils, old dirty couch etc. Totally overpriced for what we got. The area around the house was also very neglected. When we raised our concerns the staff responded very apathetically. (Date of visit: October 2018).

Absolutely incredible. One of the best organic farm /camping spots yet! Very friendly owners. The sites are generously spaced and the river through the farm is exquisite. Also some of the best hikes around the farm and surrounding area and a challenging 4x4 route not for shiny new SUVs.

I looòoooooove this place. So amazing. Please go to Jamaka Cafe for a beer.

All campers are jammed on top of each other. No toilet paper provided... first camping facilities to have experienced that. Very noisy. Advertised as an organic farm but campsite and river filled with exotic trees which is a little contradictory. Hot water is limited . I recommend charging more and having less people. Running sprinklers all night at the camping site. Smelly of rotten vegetation.

Its a farm in the Cederberg area and its a quite place for a retreat for those who like outdoors. There is a campsite by the river which is a plus or you can make use of their self catering facilities. To wrap it up they grow mangos which are all organic and I think March and April is the best time because they are in season. You can either buy them fresh or dried.

Amazing setting in water rich, red sand magic wide open space heaven, cedarberg. Rustic cottages with fireplaces and the everything you might need interns of basic utensils. Loved it,

The cottage is rustic . We were on a road trip and didnt bring towels, since all the other self catering establishments we visited provided towels. This was a bit of a predicament. There were also no coffee or tea or even soap to wash the dishes with. Even in the Tankwa Karoo these were provided . A bit of a let down.

Awesome venue! We stayed in one of the cottages, and it was a great experience. The house was spacious and had a definite charm. The kitchen was well equipped in the way of cutlery and crockery. The TV was also a nice surprise, as we were able to watch the rugby. Spacious fridge and freezer also made things a lot easierA built in outside fireplace, plus a freestanding braai with grids provided made braaing for a large group manageable. The shop stocks a good selection of basics you may have forgotten/ run out of.The surrounds are breathtaking, despite being saturated with alien vegetation. The rock pools were a treat and provided a much needed respite from the dry heat.Friendly owners and a generally good atmosphere.

Warm and Friendly service. One of the best camping sites.

Had a great trip here! Rented out three sites with a ton of family and everyone had a blast. Great way to get away from it all and enjoy the stars and a good brai!

Friendly staff great place rural solar geyser in ablutions cold in winter

We have been coming to Jamaka for many years and have had wonderful service and the atmosphere is great. It is like coming to our second home and family

One of my favourite get away places. Amazing scenery. The perfect camping spot

Its a little paradise tucked in the Cedarburg mountain. Friendly people. Stunning views. Great getaway!

An excellent getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Best place to relax and unwind..

My family and I had a wonderful time at the campsite. The owners, Jannie and Katrin are two of the nicest people we have come across in a long time and they were really helpful when there was a cloudburst on the 3rd night of our 5 day visit. We also added another member to our family thanks to Jannie and Katrin...his name is Ceasar and he barks! The campsite comes highly recommended.

Lovely setting along a river with good bird life. Adequate facilities. Great hikes.

Fantastic camp sites. Lots of shade, right on the river with lots of different swimming spots.
