The entrance to the Storms River Suspension Bridge is within Tsitsikamma National Park, and access is included in the daily conservation fee charged at the park entrance[3]. As of October 2025, the daily conservation fee is:
- R78.00 for South African citizens and residents
- R156.00 for SADC (Southern African Development Community) nationals
- R326.00 for international visitors
Visitors with a valid Wild Card do not need to pay the conservation fee[3]. Remember to bring identification to qualify for the relevant rate, and note that the park gates for day visitors typically open at 8 am and close at 5 pm[3]. These rates are payable at the Storms River Mouth gate and grant access to the walking trail leading to the suspension bridge[3].
Historical reports from 2024 cite slightly lower fees (R68 for locals and R265 for foreigners), but the above rates reflect the most current published information for 2025[7]. Some secondary sources may state simply “free” or omit the fee; this generally refers to access to the bridge itself, not the compulsory park entrance fee[2].
