About Campsites in Western Cape

Campsites in Western Cape 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 Western Cape 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.
