Waschbank River Lodge - Campsite

 Waschbank River Lodge - Campsite Free State - South Africa - DG Overlanding

  • Waschbank
  • On the Orange River

Date Visited: May 2024








Waschbank – Ideal for a stopover. The sites are terraced down towards the Orange River. 

All have electric power and green grass. There is a swimming pool. Also, the lodge has a restaurant which can be used by the campers. The ablutions were lovely and clean.

You might need a 4x4 if it’s being raining, as the grass slope gets slippery, but nothing serious.

Victoria Bay - one of our favourite campsites by the sea !

They have both private and communal ablution sites.

All sites have electricity, a fire/braai pit and views of the ocean. 

Also, the Victoria Bay beach is a lovely beach for swimming and also one of the top beaches for surfing.

Sit, sipping sundowners, overlooking the sea !! What more could you ask for!

 Kalahari Trails - A Kalahari Campsite Review - (Near the National Park)

  • Kalahari Trails
  • Meerkat Manor
  • Kalahari
  • Private and communal ablutions

Date Visited : September 2024





Kalahari Trails (also known as Meerkat Manor – from the TV show) is a stunning place. 

They have multiple accommodation options and we stayed in their private ablution camping sites. Really nice, with some shade. Hot water from electric geyser and they have flush toilets. Electric power is also supplied. The campsites have a braai/fire pit. 

They also arrange dune walks which are very informative. 

A lovely campsite in the Kalahari near to the Kgalagadi National Park.

Bruintjieskraal is an off grid campsite - no power and no potable water. But hot shower's by gas. On the Groot river in the Baviaans. Quiet a steep entrance into the campsite, but not a problem with a 4x4.

Nice big campsite, lolvely boma with a sink and a semi-private ablution with seperate flush toilet and hot shower.

Doringkloof 4x4 Bush Camp - Campsite Review

 Doringkloof 4x4 Bush Camp - Campsite Review - Baviaanskloof - Eastern Cape - DG Overlanding


  • Doringkloof 4x4 Bush Camp
  • Baviaanskloof
  • Eastern Cape
  • South Africa
Date Visited : April 2024






If you visiting Baviaanskloof, then the Doringkloof 4x4 bush camp is a must !!

A stunning campsite, with green grass, a swimming pool, electric power, nice braai and fire pits and plenty of space. Buit, be aware that you need to cross a river to get to the campsite. In the dry season the crossing is easy, but you will need to check after any rain. 

There is also a dam and they have many 4x4 routes that can be driver - check with reception.

Welvanpas Guest farm is located in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Green grass, electric power, braai, nice ablutions, swimming pool and a kiddies play area. Located about 14Km's north of Middelburg Cape, on a farm. 2Km's of dirt road, but ok for camper vans and normal road caravans.

Lovely place to stop off if you heading to Baviaanskloof, or further down to the Cape.
