Ons beplan om laat Januarie, begin Februarie hier te kamp met tent-trailer. Dit sal ons eerste keer hier wees, so enige voorstelle oor kampplekke sal waardeer word.

Die bekenste us Lientjies klip.

Berei net voor vir wind en dat jy regte penne vir sanderige grond het

So 'n ent suid is Yserfontein.  Dis 'n munisipaal, maar steeds puik.  As gevolg van baie Manatok-bome wat in die park geplant is, is dit ook heel goed teen wind beskerm.  Die bome staan tussen die staanplekke sodat daar ook heelwat privaatheid is en ek is  nie bewus van enige veiligheidsprobleme nie.  Die ablusies is ouerig maar word goed instand gehou en ek dink dis ietwat beter as Lientjiesklip s'n.  As julle juis by Langebaan wil wees, is dit bietjie ver, maar baie naby aan die suidelike ingang van die Weskus Nasionale  Park, wie se noordelike ingang by Langebaan is. Ons het al verskeie kere in beide parke gestaan, maar die laaste tyd verkies ons Yserfontein.  As julle genoeg tyd het, beproef beide- albei het 'n bekoring van sy eie.

Seker netsover noord van Langebaan as wat Yserfontein suid is, is die Dwarskersbos karavaanpark.  Ons het nog nie daar gekamp nie, maar eenmaal gaan inloer.  Dit lyk baie gesellig en die ablusies is goed.  Daar is ook al op hierdie Forum met lof van die plek gepraat.  Dis ook boomryk.

Yzerfontein is far more protected from the wind than Leentjies. Yzerfontein you need to walk over the dunes to get a sea view of the sunrise or sunset. Leentjies the view is on your doorstep. Stayed a month at both and enjoyed each one. Leentjies we have been to a few times. 

The Last two photos are from Yzerfontein the rest from Leentjiesklip

Leentjiesklip is pragtig.

Ons het ongelukkig gesien hoe lang-staaners se nuwe tent verwoes word deur n onnodige-sterk noordewind. Was hulle eerste kuier met hulle nuwe wa.

Ja, die wind kan nogal 'n probleem by die see wees.  Ek is nie seker wanneer dit windmaande aan die Weskus is nie- ek dink dalk in die winter.  Sulke tye kan Yzerfontein of Dwarskersbos dalk 'n beter keuse wees. 

Wind damage at Leentjiesklip to someone a few sites up from us.

Date was early September

Daar is ook beperkte plant lanings as windskerm by Leentjiesklip.

Ons het nog net 1 maal daar gestaan en ek kon nie verstaan hoekom my buurman se wa so skeef in sy plot staan. Toe die wind opsteek het ek eers verstaan dat hy die oord ken en die was se rugkant in die rigting van die heersende wind draai. Sy Rally staan stil en my tent ruk en pluk baie woes. 

We will be doing a road trip there in about 2 weeks time to do a recce on Leentjies and Oosterwal, plan to be at one of the two winter this year we  been told by locals that it rains approx 10 day a month but not much wind, will report back once we have been there and spoken to more locals.

Although we have camped many times in Langebaan we have never camped at Oostewal which is more in the middle of the town than Leentjies, both are Municipal run. Leentjies certainly has a better view over the lagoon although as stated you need to be aware of the prevailing winds and be prepared for them.

I don't think Oosterwal is quite safe due to where it is situated. But do give us feedback when you have been there.

Reports of theft have come from both campsites, although it seems to be the exception and not the norm. However with that in mind im leaning more towards leentjies at one of there private ablution stands with the sole purpose of keeping tent stuff under lock and key [ for what its worth ] in the ablution , but will go and check both parks out first.

Having now stayed in 11 different towns in the past 4 years this may be our first time at a municapal park, private parks are becoming scarce on the west coast.

If I remember correctly  you did stay in Mosselbay? The camps there are run by the municipality if I am not mistaken. You should also see the camps at Stilbaai and Jongensfontein, both municipal and both very good. Jongensfontein especially is very popular throuhout the year. But we are talking about the Westetn Cape after all.

We did stay 3 months at mossel bay at Dibiki , a very well run private park.

Brian, would you know anything about Vanputtensvlei , about 5 kms inland of Lamberts bay.

George unfortunately not, but I did find this quick video on the net tho. 

Van Puttensvlei

We stayed in Lambertds bay camp site for the month of october with the private ablutions. The ablutions are old, but cleat. Any complaint, they fix, good reaction. Very safe and if you pay for a month booking, it is cheaper than for 2 weeks.

Very center to visit elandsbay, doring bay, strandfontein, and lutzville wine route and tasting.

Try to stand not facing the sea to protect against the wind. They let you atand at any open stand. 86 was quite good

Would you perhaps know anything about Vanputtinsvlei campsite about 5 kms inland from lamberts bay.

Saw it, did not go and look at it

Sorry, wanted to say  every time we drove past their, we didnt see cars or any action, hence the non interest

Baie dankie vir almal se terugvoer en insette.  Dit word opreg waardeer.
