Cape Cross Campsite, Skeleton Coast | Namibia Tours & Safaris

At 120km outside of Swakopmund, this ocean breezy spot is that peaceful and simple kind of isolation on the coast we like. Moving away from traditional safari camping, here you will be camping on the coast while enjoying the luxuries of the lodge.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

This campsite is one of the most private campsites you will find on the coast, the concrete platforms and walls for privacy (and wind) you will be unbothered in your own nook.

Each campsite comes with lights, a power point, wash-basin, working surface and a braai facility with a grid. The ablution facility is just outside your camping spot and has showers with hot water, toilets and mirrors.

While staying at the campsite, you have full access to Cape Cross Lodge, which consists of a bar, wine cellar, a TV lounge, a small shop, restaurant and a deck looking over the ocean, not bad for camping right?

The activity list is quite a big one for such a quiet destination, here you have the ocean, for a surf, canoeing or a sundowner. Go on picnics, hiking trails and scenic flights to take in the view and for something a little more down-tempo you can enjoy a cellar tour and wine tasting. There is one activity however that is the ultimate winner and that is the trip to the dead sea, where you will float right on your back and your drink will float right next to you, it is a weird feeling being so light but you have to try it!

We also can't forget the iconic seal colony, so pinch your nose and go have a look, while you are there you might also learn a bit of history about Cape Cross itself.

It's doesn't seem like a bad idea to go camping, but then you get to dress up for the restaurant and bar right on your doorstep. It's not glamping, but it sure is close.
