De Hoop Campsite is a prime destination within the Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, renowned for its stark beauty and rugged landscapes. This arid wilderness, South Africa's largest mountain desert park, is characterized by its sun-scorched lava mountains and expansive sandy plains.
Situated conveniently near the river, De Hoop Campsite is a popular choice for visitors seeking a central location. The area is particularly appealing to fly fishermen, birdwatchers, and families. A 4x4 vehicle with high clearance is essential for accessing the campsite, which offers 12 rustic sites and shared cold-water ablutions.
Activities at De Hoop Campsite include fly fishing, swimming in the river, and white-water rafting (with your own equipment).
