Discover a truly private and unspoiled piece of the Eastern Cape coastline at Ocean View Campsite. This is not a polished resort; it is a collection of just three secluded campsites, each one individually tucked away into the indigenous coastal bush on a working dairy farm. The experience is wonderfully authentic, a place where you are asked to be tolerant of the normal, everyday activities of livestock and farming. It’s a genuine escape, where your reward is the rare and precious feeling of having a vast, beautiful stretch of beach almost all to yourself. Each of the three campsites is a completely independent and self-contained haven, ensuring your total privacy. Your personal site is thoughtfully equipped with its own electrical point with a light and plugs, a tap with drinkable water, and a private braai facility. The ablutions are a testament to the camp's rustic ingenuity, with a classic, paraffin-heated shower providing a wonderfully hot and refreshing experience, along with a modern flush toilet. The entire setup is designed to give you a comfortable and self-sufficient base for your coastal adventure. Getting to this secluded paradise is part of the experience. While off-road caravans will have no trouble, the sloping nature of some of the farm terrain might prove a challenge for older, more top-heavy caravans. A secure, automated gate provides peace of mind, and a cleverly constructed timber stairway eases your access down the dunes to the magnificent beach below. Here, you can enjoy many kilometers of attractive, unspoiled coastline, perfect for long walks, fishing, and simply soaking in the raw, natural beauty of this special place.
