1. Urban Camp - Windhoek
Urban Camp is a centrally located campsite with an amazing vibe, in the heart of Windhoek. It is a super comfortable campsite and you will never notice that you are in the middle of the city. That’s why we think it is one of the best campsites in Namibia. The atmosphere here is amazing. It is the ideal place to start or end your trip through Namibia. If you can only pick up your rental car the day after your arrival, you can also stay here in one of their bush tents.

2. Shark Island - Lüderitz
Shark Island Campsite is located on the Shark Island in Lüderitz, is a lovely town where you’ll see a lot of German influences in the architecture. From the campsite, you have a breathtaking view of the rough Atlantic Ocean, the bay, Lüderitz town, and the harbor. If you are lucky, you might even spot some seals and pelicans in the rocky areas around the campsite. It is the perfect base for exploring Lüderitz, where you’ll see a lot of German influences in the architecture, and the famous ghost town of Kolmanskop.

3. Oshana Campsite - Sossusvlei
Oshana Campsite is one of the two campsites located inside the gates of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, allowing you to access the dunes of Sossusvlei one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset. Each campsite has its own private bathroom and outdoor kitchen. So, you have quite a bit of comfort there. On top of that, you have a stunning view of the plains of the Namib Desert from your campsite. That’s why we found it one of the best campsites in Namibia. You can also use the swimming pool, bar/restaurant, and shop at the NWR campsite, which is the other campsite inside the gates.

4. Spitzkoppe - Best Campsite in Namibia
Camping at Spitzkoppe Kommunity Rest Camp is world-famous. To us and many others, it was by far the most beautiful campsite in Namibia. If you drive through Namibia with a roof tent, you should definitely spend a night in Spitzkoppe. There are 31 campsites, some of which are more secluded and others more grouped. The more secluded spots are far apart. You really feel completely alone and you can camp camp in complete peace and tranquility. All campsites have these gigantic red granite rocks as a backdrop and overlook the plain of the Namib desert.

5. Tiger Reef - Swakopmund
Tiger Reef campsite is the perfect base to explore Swakopmund. It is located at the Swakopmund River Mouth, only a few meters from the beach, and has neat, private sites and a sprawling communal lawn. Despite its beachfront location, you are rarely bothered by the wind because of the sheltered spots. Each campsite can accommodate up to 2 vehicles. Next to the camping, you can have a drink and a bite at the Tiger Reef Bar.

6. Hoada Campsite - Damaraland
Hoada Campsite is the perfect place to stay when exploring the northwest of Namibia. It is located between Grootberg and Etosha and is an ideal stopover for breaking the ride. The area is home to some incredible wildlife. If you’re lucky, you might spot some desert elephants in the area of Hoada.
The camping is hidden among large grey granite boulders and trees, so each campsite offers a lot of privacy and tranquility. They are built in such a way that they completely blend in with the surroundings, minimizing the impact on the environment. From the pool and the sunset bar, you have an incredible view of the surrounding plains and you can make a lovely walk behind the campground. Hoada Campsite also offers different activities, such as rhino and elephant tracking, to its guests.

7. Halali Camp - Etosha
Halali Camp is one of the 6 rest camps in Etosha National Park, halfway between Okaukuejo and Namutoni. It is not a very luxurious or particularly beautiful campsite. However, what makes this camp so unique is the scenic waterhole where you can sit and spot wildlife 24/7, even when the gates to the national park are closed. It was our favorite rest camp in Etosha because of its beautiful waterhole.

8. Okaukuejo Rest Camp - Etosha
Okaukuejo camp is another camp in Etosha National Park. It also has a beautiful waterhole to sit at and watch the animals day and night. All other campsites in Etosha have a waterhole too, but those at Okaukuejo and Halali are the most scenic ones with the best view. We also thought the facilities here were better than other camps we stayed at in Etosha.
