SWIM & STARGAZE IN THE CEDERBERG

And loads of activities like swimming in the nearby stream, mountain biking or stargazing. Plus, there’s no electricity and cell phone reception, so it’s a great place to unplug. 

Good to know: The campsite also has homemade products like ​​dried fruit, preservatives and fresh roosterkoek
Rates: From R150 p/n for campsites, from R400 p/n
