Comments: The Houthoop Camping Site- the site is on Steenvlei, a Dorper sheepfarm. It is the only camping site with grass in the area. Electricity & warm showers ensure an enjoyable stay. Close to the sea and centrally situated for the flower season. Also near the Richtersveld – succulents, as well as Namaqua National Park. Enjoy the Kleinzee golf course, 4x4 trips and diamond mine tour.
Additional Comments: Campsite on a farm
