About Hoada Campsite & Tented Camp

The camp provides 8 campsites, with 6 suitable for up to 8 persons and 2 designed for larger groups. The smaller campsites can accommodate up to 4 tents or 2 vehicles with rooftop tents, while the larger campsites can accommodate up to 14 campers and feature separate male and female ablution facilities.

Each campsite is equipped with a kitchen area that includes a washbasin and running water while the braai area also serves as a geyser, providing hot water for the ablution facilities as you cook your meals. The presence of large granite boulders offers protection from the wind and creates natural partitions between the campsites, adding to the picturesque setting of your stay.

Our four permanent tents are furnished with beds and bedding, bedside tables, a bench, and a private ablution facility located behind each tent. It's the ideal option for a break from setting up your own campsite.

At this haven in the wilderness, you can enjoy a drink at the bar while savouring the view of the surrounding bushveld, and perhaps taking a dip in the small pool nestled in the rocks, before making your dinner beneath a star-studded sky.

Hoada offers a range of experiences that invite you to slow down and connect with the landscape.

A full-day rhino tracking excursion takes you deep into the wilderness alongside experienced local trackers, following signs across the terrain in search of one of Africa’s most endangered animals. It’s a day shaped by patience, learning, and the quiet anticipation of a rare encounter.

For those who prefer to explore at their own pace, self-guided walking trails wind through granite boulders and open plains. These routes offer a more personal way to experience the surroundings — noticing the details, the silence, and the subtle movement of life in this rugged environment.

visit to the Damara smallholding a short distance from the campiste, adds another layer to your stay. During the two-hour farmlife experience, you’ll take part in everyday activities — milking a goat, building a traditional cow dung hut, and preparing food over an open fire. The experience ends with tea and freshly-made fatcakes, in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Back at camp, the rhythm remains unhurried. Birdlife moves through the area for those who take the time to watch, while the rock pool and small bar offer a place to cool off, relax, and ease into the evening as the light fades over the landscape.
