Your accommodation
There are 12 campsites arranged in a circle around a pool.
Each pitch has a shade roof and its own shower, toilet and washbasin. There is also a braai area and an electricity connection.
The campsite has a pool with sun loungers and some seating areas under a shade roof.
The reception of Sossus Oasis Campsite is in a small shop. In the shop you can get some basic food items, snacks, firewood and hygiene products. Outside there is a covered seating area overlooking the petrol station in front. There is a kind of "service-station romance" here and you have access to Wi-Fi.
The petrol station also has a tyre workshop. The workshop can change tyres and also help with minor problems with the vehicle.
At the restaurant of Sossusvlei Lodge you can have dinner with a prior reservation. In front of the restaurant there is a floodlit waterhole which attracts springbok, oryx antelopes and jackals. The lodge is on the other side of the road and is within walking distance.
