Another stunning camping experience in the Cederberg can be had at Kromrivier.
Getting there: drive up the N7, pass Citrusdal. 200km, and just before reaching Clanwilliam, take a left onto a dirt road. Up the Nieuwoudt Pass, pass Algeria on your left and over Uitkyk Pass. 2km past the turn-off to Sanddrif take the right [-32.5071, 19.2833] and head south for 4.5km.

I camped at Kromrivier once a few years ago. It is slightly further south than Driehoek and Sanddrif, but still close to all the Central Cederberg attractions.
There is a small dam that you can swim in, and a river runs through the site (not enough water to swim in during the hot summer months). Reception has a shop selling milk, a small variety of soft drinks and sweets, and ice.
Accommodation
