Loskop Dam 06-08-2004 |
On the weekend of the 6th August we went to Loskop dam to Caravan. This was a long weekend due to woman's day on the 9th August (Monday). We left later then usual as we needed to attend a funeral of a family member on the Friday afternoon. We left home at exactly 16:00 and not the normal 15:00. We arrived at Loskop at 18:00 on the dot. Exactly 2 hours and 180km's. The weekend was great. The weather was a mild summer with temperatures around the 25deg C mark. Our Opinion: - I love Loskop. It is African bushveld, shady camp sites in summer, better lawn then some sites I have been to. The ablutions are "Old" but clean and well kept. The swimming pool, put put, shop etc all great. In general you can not go wrong. Only drawbacks. The resort still allows day visitors and they have easy access into the camp sites. This lead to some drunken parties and resultant noise. One intrepid camper apparently had a what for with some noisy teenagers at 03:00 the one morning. after much swearing, they left. There was an audible applause from all the fellow campers once the offending persons had left. Would I go again. Yes, I think I will try a normal weekend and see what it is like. We were planning to go there for Christmas 2004, but now have some serious second thoughts. Our current favourite resort is still Swadini. Anyway, to some photo's.
