Cape Town resorts and camp sites are open for visitors, with strict Covid-19 protocols in place.
Following the step down to Alert Level 1 announced by the President on Sunday, 28 February 2021, the City’s resorts and camp sites have resumed operations, with strict Covid-19 protocols in place.
‘We are inundated with enquiries from the public about the status of the City’s resorts and camp sites, with the long weekend coming up later this month, and then the Easter long weekend not too long after. The Recreation and Parks Department is pleased to announce that all resorts are open and available for bookings. Camping sites will reopen by 12 March and bookings for the Easter holiday will be open from 11 March. We do caution the public that, in line with the Disaster Management Regulations, these recreational facilities will not operate at full capacity, so the number of available spaces are lower than normal,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.
In order to ensure that resorts and campsites are Covid-19 compliant and to mitigate the risk of infection, the City has introduced a number of measures, including:
• Patrons must wear face masks at all times inside resorts
• Covid-19 screening of all staff and patrons before entering resorts
• Cleaning and sanitising of public ablution facilities three times daily
• Patrons at camp sites are not allowed visitors
• Fewer bookings to facilitate social distancing
A full list of terms and conditions is available on the City’s website and will also be shared with individuals when making their bookings.
‘It’s important that our visitors do their bit to ensure that their stay is a relaxing one, but more importantly, that they remain safe. So we appeal to them to please adhere to the Covid-19 regulations in place, and to follow instructions from our staff. We have seen a dramatic decline in infections, but as has been widely publicised, another resurgence is a real possibility.
‘Should national regulations change, the City might have to close its recreational facilities and cancel bookings at short notice. We encourage patrons to prepare themselves accordingly and take note of the regulations currently being implemented, prior to visiting any City facility. The City reserves the right to terminate access and use of a facility for any person, in the event of non-compliance to Covid-19 regulations,’ added Councillor Badroodien.
