Mamil Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Looking for campsites situated close to MTB trails in the western cape. Recently camped at Oewerzicht near Greyton and had a blast. Looking to do more of that sort of thing. Ideas and suggestions?
NickGM Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Looking for campsites situated close to MTB trails in the western cape. Recently camped at Oewerzicht near Greyton and had a blast. Looking to do more of that sort of thing. Ideas and suggestions? https://www.piketbobergtrails.com/I can't personally endorse this because I haven't ridden there, it's just a suggestion to get the ball rolling. But other people have ridden them and rave about the trails. I think there are a couple of big mtb events here, including WP enduro. There's bound to be camping nearby. I've stayed in the odd self catering place in the area and thought it was a great area to visit. Just be sure that you are actually allowed to ride those trails when it's not part of an event. I'm sure others here will chip in regarding Piketberg.
Mamil Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 My understanding is the piketberg trails are closed to the public except on the U and the one day event? https://www.piketbobergtrails.com/I can't personally endorse this because I haven't ridden there, it's just a suggestion to get the ball rolling.
