About this place

De Hoop Camping Site lies in the Tankwa Karoo National Park, a vast and remote stretch of arid plains on the border of the Western and Northern Cape. This is one of the quietest and most starkly beautiful corners of the country, where flat-topped koppies and dry riverbeds give way to wide horizons and some of the darkest night skies in South Africa.

The camp offers a simple, back-to-basics stay suited to self-sufficient travellers who come for the silence and the space. Days are spent on long drives through the succulent Karoo landscape, watching for the gemsbok, springbok and Cape mountain zebra that move across the plains, and the area is a noted destination for birders and stargazers alike.

Facilities are minimal in keeping with the wilderness setting, so visitors should arrive well prepared. The reward is an unhurried desert experience and, after dark, an exceptional canopy of stars.
