Camping at Seebries Caravan Park
Our stay in Langebaan brought us close to nature as we camped at Seebries Caravan Park, right on the edge of the lagoon. With the town buzzing for the marathon weekend, it was one of the only campsites available, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The lagoon views, peaceful environment, and budget-friendly rates (the cheapest we paid during the entire trip!) made it the perfect home base for our West Coast adventure.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed weekend away or an action-packed trip to explore craft beer and spirits, Langebaan has something for everyone. This town on the West Coast is well worth the stop on your Beer Troopy journey.
So, next time you’re in the mood for a coastal adventure with great beer and gin, add Langebaan to your travel list—and don’t forget to bring your Beer Passport for those stamps!
