Draaihoek Plaas Kamp

Located in the heart of the fertile Olifants River Valley, Draaihoek Plaas Kamp offers a genuine West Coast farm experience just a stone's throw from the town of Vredendal. This quiet escape is set on a working farm, where the rhythm of agricultural life provides a peaceful backdrop for campers looking to unwind. Surrounded by the sprawling vineyards and emerald-green lucerne fields that define this region, the camp provides an authentic sense of place that feels both grounded and welcoming.

The campsite is characterized by an intimate selection of stands situated on soft, level grass. While the valley sun can be bright, the open layout allows for expansive views of the surrounding mountains and the winding river valley. Each site is electrified, making it a convenient choice for those traveling with modern comforts or refrigerators. For families, the inclusion of a dedicated play area and a community garden adds a touch of charm, encouraging children to enjoy the wide-open spaces while adults relax nearby.

Water plays a central role in the experience here, with a clean farm dam on the property that is perfect for a spot of catch-and-release fishing. For those who enjoy being active, the farm offers ample space for gentle strolls or more vigorous mountain biking along the farm tracks. After a day of exploring the valley or visiting nearby local wine cellars, the communal ablution blocks offer a tidy and reliable space to freshen up with plenty of hot water. It’s a straightforward, honest camping destination that captures the simple joys of life.
