5 White Clay Resort

You won’t find a better place to camp in the Coffee Bay area. The resort is small, so it won’t get too crowded – and it’s right next to a beach. The stands are on terraces: Even if you’re in the back row, you’ll have an unobstructed view of the sea. The resort is about a kilometre from Coffee Bay. If you don’t mind a steep hill, you can walk there for a morning cuppa at the Coffee Shack.

But White Clay also has a restaurant, bar and shop, so you don’t have to leave the grounds if you don’t want to.

Facilities: Each stand has power, and the ablution facilities are clean and neat. There are also 12 selfcatering chalets that sleep 2 – 11 people.

Niggles? There are a few trees in the campsite, but it’s not exactly like you’re camping in a forest. Bring a gazebo if you want to spend a lot of time at your tent during the day.

Rates: Camping from R120 per person. Chalets from R300 per person (no meals) or from R750 per person (all meals included).

How to get there? The resort is south of Coffee Bay. The campsite is on a steep hill but all the tricky parts are paved, so you can camp in any vehicle.
