Sossus Oasis Campsite

Beat campsite in namibia

A very well equipped campsite right next to the entrance of the National Park of Deadvlei/Sossusvlei. The campsites have access to a pool, private bathroom/toilet at every campsite with hot/cold water, 2 electricity plugs and a grill. The campsite has a fuel station and a little conveniance store. Wifi is also available at the shop for free if you are staying there.

The camp offers two levels of camping, rustic and with amenities. Our area offered an outdoor covered kitchen for cooking and meals with a grill. The area contained a clean toilet and hot showers. The camp store offers a variety of camp staples, snacks, wine, beer, and something you might have forgotten. An outdoor covered area allows customers to enjoy a meal, beverage, or snack. WiFi vouchers are free and last about one hour. Service available only at camp store Friendly staff esp Rejoice and Fabian

The service at the gate leaves a lot to be desired. The camping site is overpriced and poorly serviced. Not worth paying good SA rands for such amenities. Time to let Namibia go and focus on better inland attractions. NWR aren't delivering on the fees charged. Attitude of personnel is below standard.

Situated across from the Entrance Gate to Sossusvlei and Sesriem the campsite have 12 individually shaded sites, each featuring its own private toilet and shower facilities, kitchen wash-up basin, braai, and electricity point. The vistas are simply breathtaking. The swimming pool was a huge bonus especially in a February heatwave. Although situated adjacent to the road, any noise and dust is negligible. However, the wind can pose a slight challenge; we found ourselves preparing our meals in the bathroom to shield from its gusts. Convenient amenities within walking distance include a well-stocked shop as well as fuel, diesel, and a tire workshop at the Sossus Oasis Service Station. Beware of bat-eared foxes, which may take your biscuits, vegetables, or even a bottle of gin even if it's pack away in a crate on the ground;-) it's advisable to store all food (and shoes) at a higher level.

If you're looking for the perfect Sossusvlei camping experience, then look no further than the Sossus Oasis Camp Site. It is located just outside the Sesriem Gate, making Sossusvlei extremely accessible, and the campsite almost feels like a desert fairy-tale that definitely should be at the top of your list. Each of the private campsites are like their own mini oasis with each having a rustic yet beautiful private ablution, kitchenette, and "braai" (BBQ) area. The campsites are spacious and are suitable for tents, bush-wagons and caravans alike; even including a paved roof-covered area providing some reprieve from the sun. Each site is strategically positioned to face the desert (some better than others) ensuring all guests have beautiful views and the best seats in the house for unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. It isn't just the private campsites that make the campsite so special. They have a refreshing swimming pool for you to cool off at as well as the Sossus Oasis (reviewed separately) nearby which serves as a fuel station, convenience store and check-in area for the campsite. Keep in mind that wildlife are able to roam freely, and we were lucky enough to see Oryx as well as a Fennec Fox nearby our site. Also watch out for the jackals, especially in the evenings, as they're notorious bin raiders. I recommend you secure yours with heavy rocks to avoid any surprises. Camping at the Sossus Oasis Camp Site was an unforgettable experience, and I will most definitely be back if I ever have the opportunity of visiting Sossusvlei again!
