“A very hectic little campsite, squashed in, right in the center of the fishing village. There are locals hanging around, some artists, backpackers ,bikers and campers all seeming very happy with the chaos. ” - Mietsie Visser, 2013/01/15

“Booking for campsites over the December period is not essential, you can just arrive or make a provisional booking just in case. There is a slipway to launch a boat.” - Janine Reyneke, 2009/07/09
