Driehoek is my new favorite destination in the Central Cederberg.
Getting there: take the N7 from Cape Town through Piketberg and on to Citrusdal. Turn off the N7 onto the dirt road to Algeria. Pass Algeria, and turn left at the signpost for Driehoek.
When arranging a hiking trip to the Cederberg recently, I originally planned to stay at Algeria, as we intended hiking from there. However, after finding out that Algeria was the most expensive camping of all the campsites mentioned above, I started to look elsewhere. This turned out to be our good fortune, as Driehoek is superior to the other options in a number of ways: Sanddrift tends to get crazy-busy, Kromrivier is not as green and shaded and is quite a distance further, Driehoek being closer than both if you are entering from the north (passing Algeria).
The campsites are next to the river, and most are shaded by mature oak trees. They are on beautiful, level lawns, and each has its own braai place.
The ablution block is clean: mens and ladies showers and toilets with electric lights and gas heated water.
There is a scullery to the side of the ablution block with dishwashing basins and a large electric chest freezer.
Driehoek is a working farm. Some years back they replaced the citrus orchards with vineyards, and they now produce their own estate wines.
