Revisiting South Africa's caravan parks: The holiday tradition that shaped a nation

The article examines the historical role of caravan parks in shaping South Africa's domestic tourism during the 20th century. Destinations such as Warmbaths (now Bela-Bela), Hartenbos, Margate, Velddrif, Gariep Dam, and Hibberdene became hubs for family holidays. While changing travel preferences have reduced their peak popularity, many parks have adapted by offering modern amenities and glamping options, retaining appeal for affordable nature-based getaways.
