So we entered into our 2nd month of vanlife by driving all the way from Margate to Morgan Bay in the Eastern Cape.
It took us 10 hours to get there and we stopped at a rest stop just as you exit Umtata.
Morgan Bay is about an hours drive out of East London. It is a sweet little town with beautiful sea views and also the Inchara River. 🌊
We booked our stay through the Morgan Bay Hotel, for a monthly stay it cost us R2600. (Super reasonable! 👌)
They have ocean side camping spots, middle ground and river side spots. we stayed close to the bathrooms on the river side, and we are so glad we did as the ocean side got extremely windy while we were there.
It's a small caravan park that gets a bit busier on the weekends. The gate is always open so people in the community also pass through whilst walking their dogs. There are a lot of dogs around and as the receptionist said, the dogs run Morgan Bay 😅
Octavia loved making new friends, especially on her free walks on the beach! ⛱️
The bathrooms at Morgan Bay Caravan Park are newly renovated and beautiful 😍 It was a pleasure being able to have such wonderful facilities to use. When the camp site is busy, try time your showers 🚿 for when there's not too many people using them as the pressure drops a bit and hot water runs out 🥶
For essentials there is a Top Shop a few km from the campsite. They stock the basics like bread and milk, and some treats 😋
Next door to Top Shop is the Morgan Bay Meat & Deli which has some frozen meat options. (very good quality & price 👏 ) and the best rusks we've ever had!
Morgan Bay Hotel is another place to visit, it's walking distance from the campsite and has a pet friendly restaurant called The Deck Restaurant & Pub🍴
The Hotel also has a spa, this was a nice added treat that we don't usually indulge in. after 10 hours of driving, I think we deserved it 🤭
If you're looking for some more adventure, take a drive up the bumpy dirt road to Morgan Bay Cliffs. The views will blow your mind 🤯
From the campsite it's just a hop, skip and a jump away from the beach. Literally hopping over the river mouth at low tide 🤣 The beach is wide and so beautiful, especially at sunset 🌄
We highly recommend a stay at Morgan Bay!
