Camping in Caledon
Camping in Caledon should be on top of your list of things to do if you plan to visit the Overberg region in the Western Cape.
There is something about sleeping under a blanket of stars with the moon keeping watch over you that city living could never capture. With less light interference and minimal noise, save for the sounds of nocturnal creatures going about their business, camping outdoors will help you connect with nature like never before.
Camping and caravan sites in Caledon are popular amongst tourists, especially in summer. However, home to the famous mineral hot springs, visitors frequent the town all year round. Many are happy to camp, even in winter. There’s something quite special about being surrounded by the elements in this spectacular part of the world.
When booking your campsite, ask about the facilities and amenities. In Caledon, you will find that most places have good ablution blocks and give you access to swimming pools, play areas for children and other great activities to spend your time. Certain campsites have electrical hookup points and taps.
While some campsites are modern, others offer the bare minimum, and you must arrive well-stocked for your adventure. However, most of the time, you won’t be far away from the local shops where you can shop for groceries and other camping essentials.
If sleeping outdoors is not your cup of tea, most campsites have a rustic self-catering cabin or two, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Whether it’s your first trip to Theewaterskloof in the Overberg or you are a regular visitor to Caledon, you will love being out in the open in this stunning part of the world.
