Campgrounds

Whether you’re seeking a cosy retreat, a luxurious escape, or a home away from home, we have a great selection of accommodations for you.

About Campgrounds

Campgrounds cater to travellers who believe the best nights end with marshmallows charred over an open fire. These sites range from no-frills fields with basic ablution blocks to glamping-ready spots with pre-pitched tents and power hookups.

The communal vibe shines at shared braai areas and washing-up stations, where backpackers and families alike trade tips on the best nearby walks. A good few campgrounds sit near national parks or coastal trails, making them a practical base for outdoor enthusiasts. Early risers might snag a pitch with sunrise views—just don’t forget the groundsheet and sense of adventure.
