About Kampi

About Kampi

Kampi was founded in 2021 by JP Voogt, a South African tech founder and lifelong camper. The idea was simple: match the hundreds of unused caravans in suburban driveways with families who want to try camping.

Our story

Kampi started as an experiment in Pretoria. Within 18 months we had over 100 listings and bookings in all 9 provinces. Today we are South Africa's largest peer-to-peer caravan and camper marketplace.

What we do differently

Every booking is insured from the moment of handover. Every owner is verified. Payments are held in escrow until the booking is confirmed on the road. Disputes are handled by a small team who actually know the camping world.

The team

JP runs the tech side. Clarize handles admin and bookings. Christiaan, JP's brother, runs the sister workshop Noord Karavane in Pretoria. Together we keep the platform honest and the campers on the road.
