#JFWEpicRoadTrip: Beach Camping in Namaqua National Park
It’s safe to say that before we headed out for our second epic road trip (December 2017), I had some romantic notions in my head about camping on the beach. To assuage your fears, quite a bit of it was spot on. However, beach camping, especially in the no-frills […]
