Reviews Summary
Palmiet Beach Kleinmond is lauded as a hidden gem, praised for its tranquility, natural beauty, and pet-friendly atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the opportunity for peaceful walks, stunning coastal views, and exceptional stargazing.

"This is one of the best hidden gems around. It is a campsite of note. To be in nature, yet also have the luxury of a shower as well is already a plus. You also get access to such a beautiful beach and lagoon. I was there on a clear open sky and have never ever seen the milky way as clear as I did then. One truly beautiful place"
