We stayed two evenings on a 14 day tour of Namibia. The camp sites are all private with your own bathroom and wash up area. All amenities were well kept and clean. This being in the desert, there is unfortunately no natural shade. The sites all have a partially covered area where you could layout a free standing tent. We... More

We stayed at this camp site in September 2011 but we would still like to write a review now to help other campers in Namibia. We booked this place ahead which seemed to be needed if you want to stay close to the Sossusvlei entrance. The Sossus Oasis Camp site was one of the best campsites where we have stayed.... More

We stayed here for 2 nights last month of August, while our honeymoon trip in Southern Africa; and we must say that it was definitely one of the best campsites we've ever been. It's excellent located near Sesriem Canyon, at only some hundred meters from the entrance of the Namib Naukluft Park. Placed in the middle of the desert, with... More

The campsite is very well located 100 meters from the national park entrance. It is composed of only few pitches (around 10) which are located around a small clean swimming pool with sun chairs. Each pitch has enough space and they are not located too close from each other. The reception is located in the petrol station next to the... More

We stayed at this campsite during April 2012 and the sites were great. We were 3 couples in 3 tents which we erected around the shade concrete and used the paving as our "entertaining area". There are hotwater (solar panel) shower and toilet facilities, wash basis and braai (fire place) which were cleaned out every morning. The staff were very... More

The private facilities of this camp site are great. Your own clean shower, toilet and wash basin (2 even) as well as electricity and fire place provided for a very comfortable night in the bush. It is also conveniently close to a gas station and small repair station (which we unfortunately had to use because our car broke down). It... More

This place has many of the standard campsite amenities - braai, powerpoints, shaded concrete pitches. Everything runs off solar power, so hot water and power may be patchy, but they were fine for us. The camp site is pretty new and there's a pool in the center of the 15 pitches. There's a fuel station with a little internet cafe... More

Right next to the gas station, next to the entrance to Sossusvlei, this campsite was a really nice, affordable place to stay. Each campsite has a concrete slab covered for shade, a very clean, private shower, sink and toilet stall, and a kitchen sink a workspace complete with a light and an electrical outlet. There's also a brai grill (barbecue).... More
