Situated in the Garden Route district, Ladismith offers 1 long-stay campsite. The Garden Route is a district located on the southern coast of the Western Cape province. The landscape is characterised by a narrow coastal strip situated between the Indian Ocean and the rugged peaks of the Outeniqua mountain range. The regional economy is strongly driven by tourism, commercial forestry, and agriculture, alongside established marine fishing operations. The natural environment features dense indigenous woodlands, expansive coastal lakes, and deep river gorges. These diverse geographic attributes provide accessible environments for hiking, water-based recreation, and exploring protected marine and terrestrial reserves along the varied coastline.
The Western Cape features a highly diverse landscape that supports a vast network of established caravan parks and coastal campsites. Bordered by two oceans, the coastal regions offer sandy beaches and sheltered bays where campers frequently set up near the water. Inland, the terrain is defined by the rugged peaks of the Cape Fold Mountains and the surrounding valleys, providing shaded, tree-lined caravan stands and quiet farm campsites. Further north, the environment transitions into the dry scrubland of the Karoo, while the eastern belt contains dense indigenous forests. The local climate is primarily Mediterranean, bringing hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters to the western areas, while the eastern coastline receives year-round rainfall. This geography provides campers with environments ranging from forested retreats to waterside resorts.

Located on the iconic Route 62, "A Touch of Plaas" is more than just a name, it's an invitation to experience genuine farm life in the heart of the Klein Karoo. Set just outside Ladismith with the dramatic backdrop of Towerkopberg, this small campsite offers a peaceful and personal alternative to larger, busier parks. It’s the perfect spot for travellers who appreciate quiet evenings, vast starry skies, and the simple rhythm of the countryside. With just five exclusive campsites, the focus here is on peace and personal space. The stands are exceptionally generous, measuring 14 by 9 meters, providing plenty of room to comfortably manoeuvre a caravan or motorhome and set up a proper outdoor living area. Each plot is fully serviced with its own electricity and fresh water connection. The standout feature, however, is the convenience and privacy offered with each booking. Every individual stand comes with its own private, dedicated bathroom, complete with a clean shower, toilet, and basin. This thoughtful amenity elevates the camping experience, removing the need for shared ablution blocks. To further enhance your stay, all guests have access to well-maintained communal facilities, including a shared kitchen for more complex meal prep, a scullery, and a separate laundry room—a welcome convenience for those on a longer journey through the Karoo.
