The rustic farm-style setting of Die Houthoop is ideal for visitors to Namaqualand who would like to experience true Namaqualand hospitality.
Houthoop is ideal for nature lovers who would like to see Namaqualand in all its splendour. The flower season starts from June to October when winter rains have converted the veldt to a green “winter wonderland”.
Informal walking trails are available. You might see the “meerkat” or suricate, a small mammal while walking. Plants can be identified and for the inquisitive person, there is a world of insect life.
The Houthoop Camping Site is on Steenvlei, a Dorper sheepfarm. It is the only camping site with grass in the area and have 10 stands. Electricity and warm showers ensure an enjoyable stay. The park is close to the sea and centrally situated for the flower season.
Also near the Richtersveld – succulents, as well as Namaqua National Park. Enjoy the Kleinzee golf course, 4x4 trips and diamond mine tour. Also enjoy the several mountain passes (Messel road, Wildeperdehoek pass, Komaggas pass and Anninoes pass).
