    Default Bakkrans co-ordinates, Richtersveld

    Looking for Bakkrans co-ords, on the Namakwa Eko 4x4 trail. Might need to stealth camp there for one night on way back from Nam. Slept there 10 years ago on Richtersveld hike -memory bit rusted on how to get there? Thanks!

    Reviving this thread - I assume Bakkrans is considered wild camping with no booking and first come first serve?

    Anyone have info on how it works for Koerdap? Booking at Lekkersing or can it be booked prior?

    Bakkranse is part of the Namakwa 4x4 trail. You need a permit and booking. Here are their website:

    tel 027-7128036, e-mail [email protected] or Lekkersing Municipal Office 027 8518580

    Accommodation can be arranged through the Lekkersing Oorgangsraad according to the North-South Richtersveld Rout pamphlet/map with the above mentioned contact details.

    Thanks, yes, I saw Bakkrans is part of the Namakwa 4x4 trail - I booked via them earlier today. They manage Bakkrans and Tierkloof, for future reference.
