On my arrival at Morgan Bay Campsite, it was clear right from the start as to why this is such a popular outdoor venue. The campsite is set against the scenic backdrop of the Inchara Lagoon and has large trees that offer lots of shade to campers. Lush, green grass is found underfoot, so prepare to dump your shoes – going barefoot is the order of the day. The beach is literally on your doorstep, or should I say tentstep. To give you an idea of the close proximity of the calm lagoon waters, many of the campers were fishing from chairs right in front of their tents. Now that’s what I call the best of both worlds, you can braai and fish at the same time! If you’re lucky, you could even have a fish braai.
Each camping stand has its own electricity, picnic bench, and brick braai facilities. The ablutions offer hot showers and are serviced daily. The one thing that struck me, and seemed incongruous with the peaceful surroundings, was the loud noise of a pump (I assume coming from what looked like a pumphouse next to the ablution block), which came on intermittently. There are coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers for those who want to do laundry. There is also a bowling green that is available for all visitors and campers to use.
