Wood Lake RV Park and Marina

This is spectacular land for beaches, boating, cycling, hiking and fishing for rainbow trout, with all the above available either around the grounds or within a few minutes' walk. The resort is surrounded by wineries with several within biking distance: hire a bike five minutes' walk away to pedal forth, or book a tour bus to pick you up at Wood Lake then drop you back afterwards. If you do hire a bike (or set off on foot), the routes around Spion Kop Hill seven and a half kilometres away are particularly recommended: Spion Kop means 'lookout hill' in Dutch and the views from here are splendid. Hiking, biking and mountain biking trails are all around this 350-hectare area, ranging from easy to difficult. For kids – and grownups – the local kangaroo farm is five minutes' drive away; football, baseball, a beach and a playground are at Beasley Park within a kilometre; Swalwell Water Park is a top stop for a hot summer's day, and Oyama Zipline Adventure Park within 15 minutes' drive has aerial antics for all ages.
