Self-Catering Campsites in Chris Hani

For travellers navigating the long, straight roads of the N9, Welvanpas Guest Farm is a welcome sight. Situated between Middelburg and Colesberg, this is the quintessential Karoo stopover. A short, 2-kilometre drive along a good gravel road takes you off the highway and into the profound quiet of a classic farm, where a historic farmhouse stands against a backdrop of rolling hills. The intimate campsite features just 12 stands, ensuring a peaceful and personal atmosphere. You can choose between powered sites for a fully-equipped setup or unpowered options for a simpler tent pitch. Each spot has access to clean water and a braai, with firewood available at reception. The sparkling swimming pool is a highlight, offering a perfect way to cool off and wash away the Karoo dust after a long day's drive. A major point of pride for the farm is the immaculately kept ablution facilities, which provide reliable hot showers. Beyond the campsite, the appeal of Welvanpas lies in its simplicity. It’s a place to stretch your legs with a walk into the hills, enjoy the unique flora, and marvel at the incredible clarity of the night sky, making it an ideal and secure recharge station. With prior arrangement, leashed pets are welcome.
