The Best Camping Sites in the Western Cape?

Making a list of anything is difficult enough, however to rank or sort that list is almost impossible due to the subjectivity of it all. However, why not create a list without a ranking or scorecard?

So without further ado, here’s a few camping sites which we would recommend for the Western Cape:
