“De Kleine Akker is 'n  baie rustige kampplek op Akkersdrift blomplaas. Pragtige, netjies ablussie. Baie stappaadjies. Ek beveel dit aan.”  Mariette van der Vyfer
“De Kleine Akker has a nice play area for toddlers and lots to do for kids. It's an excellent place to sit back and relax!”  Jani Human
“If you like camping in the mountains on a working farm surrounded by nature this is for you. The owners are friendly and accommodating. The campsite is well organised and very neat and tidy. There are excellent ablutions with hot water. There is a Lapa with braai drums ready for use. Children can keep busy with jungle gyms, paintball and well-looked-after animals in the animal sanctuary. The owners take pride in their farm and it shows. Thank you. We will return!”  Y Tr
“Verbaas was ons toe ons die heerlike skoon terrein sien met groen gras op die plaas. De Kleine Akker is definitief waarde vir geld en 'n plek om te gaan rus.”  Sanet
“Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en betrokke by die terrein. Badkamers is super skoon en netjies ten alle tye. Kinders was heeldag besig om te speel by swembad of klimraam of diere of sandput of woud! Het nie eers geweet van hulle nie. Ons sal vir seker weer by De Kleine Akker kamp! Dankie.”  Leendert C
