    Overview

    Leave the city behind and reconnect with what matters — good people, open skies, and the wide-open Tankwa Karoo. Rooidakkies is an off-grid camping spot where you can stargaze under some of the clearest skies in South Africa, braai around the fire with friends old and new, and experience the magic of the desert — whether it's a quiet weekend or one of our legendary events. Bring your own tent or stay in one of our comfortable dome tents — either way, you're in for an unforgettable Karoo adventure. Located in the Ceres/Tankwa Karoo region, the site offers no electricity at campsites for darker skies and quieter nights, with solar charging available at the main building. No fixed check-in/check-out times. Pet-friendly. Approximately 2–3 hours drive from Cape Town via the R355.
