Camper Reviews
Campsite Suitable for Rock Climbers
De Pakhuys is perfect for rock climbers since it is in the heart of the Rocklands bouldering region.
The campsite hosts are available when you search for them, and there is hot water available to shower and wash dishes. There are also some utensils available to use, making it a practical stop for light travelers.
The campsite is rugged and if you are looking for a minimal spot, this one is for you.
Undermaintained campsite
Although a beautiful site with access to rocklands and all the necessary amenities it was highly disappointing.
There was no one on site to discuss payment, site booking and any further questions with.
Communal spaces were very dirty and un-kept.
There was loud music and shouting throughout the night.
The only thing that saved this campsite was the setting.
