Does anyone perhaps know of a good camp site for 3 tents in the vicinity of Organ Pipes top / Cleft Peak / Castle Buttress area?
I have yet to find a even a remotely decent spot during my previous 5 visits
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi Supertramp, we recently saw a lot of Basotho activity on Camel and Organ pipes route. I guess for the festive season, and due to lower hiking numbers as a result of the virus?? We reported this at Didima, and the fact that littering increase as a result. I would camp closer to the waterfall on the slopes of Cleft, or use the caves. I have used a flat spot -29.010843852002434, 29.178539557642903 here before, but would not this time. The valleys are also very wet. Hope it helps
Regards
Nic

Thanks a million for the information Nicolaas . I share your sentiment on not camping in close proximity to the highway. Some newcomers to the Berg in this group, wouldn't want to scare them off with Rolands and the group is too large for the Ndumeni caves.
