Crodinie Campsite
Description
Crodinie campsite is roughly 20 km from Swellendam in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. The campsite is situated on the working farm of the Kemp-family bordering the Breede River. Crodinie is accessible for all vehicles, but we would suggest taking a 4×4 to tow your caravan up the steep hill at the campsite.
If you are camping with a regular tent, you should not have any problems traversing this steep hill with a normal vehicle. There’s no electricity at the campsite, but there’s solar power and gas run geysers for hot water in the ablution facilities. The ablutions are neat and easily accessible from all the campsites. Each stand has its own braai area, green grass and most have shade. We recommend that you bring your own freshwater for drinking and cooking.

What a campsite! We were there on a quite chilly night in early July and arrived after sunset. The incredibly nice lady in charge showed us the way down to the site. She even went out of her way turning on the power for us, even though we were the only ones there and were only staying for one night. The toilets and showers are well thought out and provide all the basic needs.
Waking up in the morning was a beautiful experience as we were treated to a lovely view of the lake surrounded by nothing but nature.
Even though this campsite is quite far away from the nearest town or even the road it is a must visit if you are in the area. Be prepared as there is no power provided
We would have loved to stay longer and have vowed to return one day.
This spot is something special!
With the kindest regards Thomas & Jasper 🙂
