Hoada Campsite & Tented Camp
This rustic camp offers spacious sites for tents or vehicles with rooftop tents, accommodating up to eight guests each, plus two larger group sites for up to fourteen people. Every site includes a small kitchen, braai facilities, a flushing toilet, and open-air showers — while the group sites have separate bathrooms. A distinctive feature is that the same fire used for cooking also heats the shower water, reflecting the camp’s eco-friendly philosophy.
Additionally, four permanent tented camps host two guests each, featuring cosy beds, private bathrooms, and a kitchen area for a more comfortable stay. Designed to minimise environmental impact, the camp is surrounded by rocky outcrops where guests can relax in private, on viewing decks or enjoy a dip in a small natural pool. As evening falls, breathtaking sunsets and star-filled skies create unforgettable moments close to nature.
Location
Hidden amongst large grey granite boulders and flourishing mopane trees, Hoada Campsite is situated on the #Khoadi//Hoas Conservancy close to Grootberg Lodge and just 75 kilometres from Kamanjab. It is another effort on the part of the community to raise funds for their people and showcase this isolated and unspoiled wilderness, with gratifying results.
A night or two here will ease the stresses of the modern world, as you take a step back in time and savour the basics of life again, with solitude, peace, views, and wilderness at your fingertips. This is the perfect place to rest on a tour of the vast open spaces of north-western Namibia.
In addition to the campsites, there is also the option of permanent tents should you need a little more luxury, and there is wood, braai packs, cutlery, and crockery available for purchase and rent at reception.
Experiences
During the day, you can learn about the local Damara people and their culture. A fun activity, which takes about 3 hours. In the evening, relax by the pool with a drink and enjoy the peaceful views. At night, unplug from technology and sit around a campfire while preparing a simple meal. Then, fall asleep under the stars, surrounded by quiet and nature. Spending a night or two at Hoada is a great experience for anyone who loves nature.
Adventures
Hoada Campsite is the perfect place to relax while exploring north-western Namibia, an area renowned for its unique flora, geological wonders, and remarkable wildlife, including desert-adapted elephants, rhinos, and lions. Guests can venture on nearby excursions, such as the Grootberg Pass just twenty minutes away, or explore Twyfelfontein to see ancient rock engravings, and Fort Sesfontein, built in 1896 and recently renovated. Immersive experiences with local communities in the #Khoadi//Hoas Conservancy are also available.
Located only three hours from Etosha National Park, Hoada Campsite serves as an ideal base for regional adventures. Alongside Hobatere Lodge and Grootberg Lodge, it forms part of a portfolio of properties in the #Khoadi//Hoas Conservancy bordering the park’s western edge.
