De Kleine Akker offers an intimate and rustic escape on a working farm, situated in the scenic area near Elim, just thirty minutes from Gansbaai. This destination is a hidden gem for campers seeking the pure simplicity of the countryside, surrounded by the unique fynbos of the Overberg and offering beautiful views of the nearby mountains. It is a place where time seems to stand still, making it an ideal sanctuary for nature lovers and those looking to trade the bustle of coastal towns for the silence of the farm.
The camping experience is small-scale and personal, with a limited number of stands set on well-maintained lawns. The sites are spaciously laid out and provide wonderful, unobstructed views over the farmlands, where guests can often enjoy the sight of grazing farm animals nearby. To ensure a comfortable stay, each stand is equipped with its own electrical point and access to a shared water tap. The atmosphere at the campsite is informal and welcoming, perfect for long evenings spent around a campfire under the clear starry skies of the Western Cape.
Facilities on the farm are neat and functional, featuring a communal ablution block equipped with hot showers and modern amenities. A covered lapa is also available, serving as a cozy central meeting spot for guests, complete with braai facilities. The surrounding area is excellent for relaxing walks along the farm paths or exploring the nearby beaches and nature reserves of Gansbaai and Stanford. With its personal touch and beautiful natural setting, the campsite provides a grounded and restorative outdoor experience in the heart of the Overberg.
