Caravan Rental near Tietiesbaai, West Coast
Tietiesbaai is a campsite inside the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve on the West Coast, about 6 km from Paternoster. It sits right on the beach among granite boulders and white sand, at the furthest westerly point of the Western Cape. There's no electricity here by design, which is exactly the point. Sixty campsites, flush toilets, hot showers, and the Atlantic Ocean a few steps from your tent or camper. It's 150 km from Cape Town.
About Tietiesbaai Campsite
Tietiesbaai has 60 campsites with a maximum of 6 people per site. Ablution blocks have flush toilets, water taps, and hot-water showers. There are no power points, so your camper's battery and solar setup are what you've got. This is back-to-basics camping, and that's what draws people here.
The setting is spectacular: rocky coastline, white sandy coves, and the open Atlantic. Fishing is popular (bring your rod and bait), and kayaking and snorkelling are possible when the sea is calm. Hiking trails wind through the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve with its fynbos and coastal views. The Columbine Lighthouse is a short walk. In whale season, you can spot southern rights from the shore.
Paternoster village is 6 km away for restaurants and supplies. West Coast National Park and Langebaan are a 30-minute drive south. Off-season rates are R200 per site per night; in season (November to Easter) it's R250.
