Where to Go Camping for Aspiring Outdoor Lovers

19 Oct 2022

1. Cederberg Wilderness - Algeria & Kliphuis

The Cederberg is a paradise for hiking and rock-climbing enthusiasts. The region is a meeting-place of vegetation types, which means visitors are exposed to a remarkable increase in diversity of flora and fauna. CapeNature offers a range of accommodation opportunities, from secluded mountain units to fully equipped cottages, to 48 riverside campsite facilities. PS. Hot tubs are coming soon to the campsites!

2. Limietberg/Tweede Tol

Visitors can still get lost in this vast reserve, and the strict limits placed on hiking numbers guarantees a feeling of seclusion, even isolation. The region offers visitors the chance to spot increasingly rare endemic bird and plant species, and to plunge into fathomless mountain pools. Despite its popularity, Tweede Tol still feels like a well-kept secret, the kind of quiet getaway that families will return to again and again. The old boundaries have gone, but the towering mountains remain. This campsite is situated close to Paarl approximately 1.5 hours from Cape Town.

3.Gamkaberg

Gamkaberg remains a haven for these rare creatures. The reserve offers unbounded challenges to delight the adventurous – from the stunning trad rock climbing at Tierkloof, to the hiking and 4x4 trails through rugged, pristine wilderness. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, Cape Nature offers a range of comfortable tiers of basic and glamping camping facilities, as well as gentle hikes and rambles.

4.Grootvadersbosch

Basic Campsite:

This campsite accommodates campervans and caravans strategically located near our lovely pool and recreational area.

There are five basic campsites available (A1-A5), each with its PowerPoint, USB port, water point, and braai facility. Communal ablution facilities are available with a communal scullery (communal fridge located here).

Decked camping:

Sites for pop-up tents, each complemented with individual spacious wooden decks and screens for privacy.There are 9 campsites, each with a wooden deck and screen, lights, electrical and USB points, braai pit and grid, a bench, table and seating with water and scullery. Each site looks onto indigenous forest, providing many opportunities for bird watching. Communal ablution facilities are available. There is a communal fridge, and a play area/jungle gym for kids (no children to be left unsupervised). A rare highlight would be a sighting the forest emperor butterfly or a subspecies of the elusive ghost frog, as they can only be found in this forest.

Glamping:

The five glamping tents are structured and pitched on decks separate from the main campsite. Glamping sites are 2 metres apart from each other and screened off by a wooden fence divider. Each tent is fully furnished for maximum comfort and convenience.
