Richtersveld - 3 campsites for the ULTIMATE Overlanding Adventure! - DG Overlanding
- Richtersveld
- De Hoop Campsite
- Potjiespram Campsite
- Sendelingsdrif Campsite
- Northern Cape
This is rugged unforgiving territory! You need to at least
have a high ground clearance vehicle and if you towing, then a 4x4 is really
recommended (if not a necessity). There are some amazing, yet steep, gravel
passes to negotiate to get to De Hoop. But the end result is really stunning.
The campsites were getting new ablution facilities when we
visited, but some still only have cold water and there is no electricity, (except at Sendelingsdrif). In addition, the water is not potable, so bring your
own. There is a small shop supplying the necessities (at Sendelingsdrif) as
well as a fuel station. If the Orange River is not in flood, then
Sendelingsdrif also serves as a border crossing (via ferry) into Namibia.
Stunning place and well worth a visit.
