Kogel Bay Beach

If you love camping and nature and the ocean, you'll love camping here. The bathroom situation is terrible but but at least you can take a warm shower at times. Waking up to the sound of the crashing waves is heaven. Remember to bring a generator as there's no electricity.

Beautiful campsite with excellent location and very affordable. Unfortunately ablution facilities not well kept and no hot water in showers. Beware of the riptide when swimming and that there is no electricity on this campsite.

One of the best beaches in Cape Town! Current can be dangerous so just be careful but awesome sun rises & sun sets and water is always lekker!!!

Our sons first camping experience! Stunning views with beautiful beach. Lifesavers on duty daily. Shower facilities needs urgent upgrades.

What an epic drive back from Hermanus to Cape Town on the Whale Coast Route. This is an absolute must. The views, the most stunning ocean, lots of viewing points and a coastline that is so natural yet so inspiring.

Where my ashes will be strewn some day...As a Gordon's Bay resident I grew up frequenting this beach since age 5... thats 41 years of having a church or a Godly place right in my backyard. Surrounded by towering high mountain slopes and cliff faces the long white sandy beaches are perfect for a romantic sunset walk... NOT picnic!!! Unfortunately the locals are scavengers... yes, the baboons are of great concern and will not hesitate opening car doors, or staring you down in approach to take your cooler box or hand bag in search of treats. The waters of this majestic bay is of the cleanest and warmest in the cape, but please take care to swim where the lifeguards are as the currents here are strong and claim lives every year. Those same strong currents sometimes, seldom but if you know when, make for nice ridable waves from time to time. The infamous Caves are the waves mostly desried by experienced high performance surfers, as it breaks into ankle deep sand and necks have been broken here.You will not be sorry after a visit to this national Biosphere Reserve and the very basic (not well maintaned) camping grounds just off the beach will make any happy camper wantbto come back again and again if the baboons don't ruin your stay...

One of the most beautiful spots just past Gordon's Bay.A bit of a climb down to the beach so wear sneakers rather than flip-flops.Quite secluded and not overcrowded. There are lifeguards on the beach and a shark spotter hut on the main road.The caves are visible from the beach but the main, huge cave is further along the beach and somewhat hidden behind some rocks.If you are going for the main cave, ensure you are there when the tide is out, otherwise it's not accessible.

Fantastic location, right on the beach. The campsites are nicely spaced so with fire places. The ablutions were a bit unkept with lots of leaves and sand in the floor, though since I was the first visitor in a month I guess it's understandable. It can get busy over weekends during summer as it offers good shelter from the south east wind.A great stop of you are doing a van/camping trip down the coast.

The place is beautiful, it's great for camping or day visits. It's a good place for the whole family. It is safe, as there are security guards. There are braai facilities available as well as rest rooms.

Had an amazing camping experience here. Saw the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. Would definitely recommend.
