Campsites

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 Campsites

Campsites are the go-to for travellers who measure a holiday’s success by how dirty their boots get. These well-maintained sites offer levelled pitches, clean showers, and often a shop stocking firewood and emergency chocolate.

Families appreciate playgrounds and swimming holes, while solo adventurers might join impromptu group hikes organised by fellow campers. The best campsites feel like temporary villages, with kids on bikes and the scent of sunscreen mingling with braai smoke. Just remember: the early bird gets the prime spot under the shade.

Pros and Cons of Campsites

Campsites offer a range of options for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors. Most campsites are situated in picturesque settings, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Campsites are also often more affordable than traditional accommodation, making them an attractive choice for budget-conscious travellers.

One of the key advantages of campsites is their proximity to nature, allowing visitors to partake in activities such as hiking, fishing, and birdwatching. Furthermore, campsites often have basic amenities such as toilets and showers, making them suitable for both experienced campers and beginners.

However, some campsites may lack certain amenities such as electricity or running water, which could be a drawback for those seeking a more comfortable camping experience. Additionally, the popularity of campsites can lead to overcrowding during peak seasons, detracting from the tranquillity of the natural surroundings. Ultimately, the choice of a campsite will depend on individual preferences and priorities.
