Spitzkoppe Campsite
Spitzkoppe, Namibia
At the foot of the huge granite rocks lies Spitzkoppe Campsite. You really should spend a night here with a roof tent.
Why you'll love it here
- Experience a magical sunset and glowing red rocks.
- As there are no lights on the campsite, you can enjoy a magnificent starry sky as soon as it gets dark.
- The campsites are far apart – you have the feeling of being alone in the wilderness.
About Spitzkoppe Campsite
About Spitzkoppe Campsite
At the reception of Spitzkoppe Community Campsite, as the site is officially called, you will receive a map of the extensive grounds. With a total of 31 pitches, separated from each other by rocks and terrain formations, the campsite feels incredibly spacious. Every pitch is right in the middle of nature with an unobstructed view of the impressive rock formations of the Spitzkoppe.
Which pitch is the best?
The choice of the perfect pitch depends on what you value most:
- Best view for sunset: We chose Campsite 10B – with an open view of the Kleine Spitzkoppe in the distance and the perfect sundowner spot.
- Right by the famous rock arch: Campsite no. 5 is very close to the Rock Arch and ideal for photographers.
Tip: As you can choose your pitch yourself on arrival, we recommend using the Sun Surveyor app to check the exact position of the sunset – that way you can make sure your view is not blocked by a rock.
