Thank you so much for those kind words 😁 Yes, we were there in 2022/2023. Had a lovely stay

Thanks for your reply Mark. It's important to note that the other campsites in Ponta do Ouro are far from the beach, down some very bad roads and do not offer longer stay rates. Other campsites in the area can only be accessed by 4 x 4.

Still alive.

I'm surprised to get this response, is this from the owner?? Trying to dilute the seriousness of the matter? IT'S NOT NICE to have hundreds of worms clinging to one's body, no matter how dangerous they are - or not. Campers should be warned or at least informed that these worms are in the dam - where people are encouraged to swim. Instead I got a "sure there's nothing dangerous in there, it's hot, have a dip" from the owners. It's easy to put up a sign warning campers about the worms, there are plenty of signs up for all sorts of other things at Glennscheilling. But I've found that many owners will do their best to hide anything that may cause them to lose business, from dead bodies to filthy water containing fecal matter (they'll just let you drink it) to worms in the swimming place and on and on. This needs to be addressed in South Africa. Owners that hide anything like that from campers are crooks in my book. And there seem to be plenty of crooks around.

I don't. Try calling Yellowwood Forest in Morgan Bay

Sounds great, let us know what Bass camp is like , the place and the fishing and the surrounds. Enjoy it...

Hi Kevin, 4X4 caravans are very expensive. You can get great deals on used standard caravans. My caravan is a standard caravan and it handles reasonable dirt roads just fine. But there is a lot more shaking of the body on some of the rougher roads. The shaking causes body panels and caulking to loosen and eventually leak. Water will rot the interior wall framework wood. If you're able to, repair this yourself (and it's not too difficult - I have just done repairs to all the corners and windows of my caravan). The cost was less than R2,000 for all the repairs and my caravan is 30 years old. So, I bought the caravan for R50,000 including 2 outside tents in almost new condition and 2 add-a-rooms. I spent R20,000 renovating it - modernised interior, shower installed, plumbed it with hot water, new LED lighting etc. I've spent R2,000 on repairs (+ about 12 hours of my labour) Total spend less than R75,000 A used 4X4 caravan will cost you around R500,000 plus. My suggestion is buy an old standard caravan and do it up yourself. You can get to most places in it. Any repairs - learn to fix them yourself (the university of KZfaq) If you want to go to a place that has really bad roads, like Mozambique, load a tent in the car and use that for your trip. But if you want to travel around Southern Africa and spend a month or 2 in each place, take the caravan. It's much more comfortable and it's a nice home. In my opinion a 4X4 caravan is a HUGE waste of money. The R400,000 that you save will pay for a lot of chops and beers and will cover 4 or 5 years of caravan park monthly fees. If you worry about those people who will look down on you for not having an expensive, modern new 4X4 caravan, put a large 4X4 sticker on each side of your rig 🤣 Good luck.

Thanks, Don, for the detailed reply, very useful information.

Yep, me too.... unfortunately.

Hi Sue & Stuart, glad you found my channel 😊🌈

Should be fine, the road back up is steep, as shown in the video.

Hi Izzy, You'll be fine on the dirt road from the highway, and also on the sand road going down to the camp which is about 1 km long. Enjoy it.

Hi Craig, buy a dji mavic mini drone, they're cheap, fantastic quality picture, you can hold them in your hand and walk around and shoot with the stabilizer giving you a good steady picture, and you can fly it for great aerial shots. Most of my shots are done using the drone, it's also light and easy to use. I also have a GoPro which I use occasionally, but the drone can fly and a GoPro can't - although a GoPro can film underwater - so eventually get both. But the drone first - definitely. Good luck and enjoy the adventure.

Use 2021 OUTDOOR LEGENDS to find the caravan parks. It's the best. Good luck, enjoy 😊🌈

Yes, the sites are not for caravans only, most weekend stayers came with tents and also used the power points 😊
