Rent a caravan or camper in Centurion, directly from its owner

Centurion sits on the N1 halfway between Pretoria and Johannesburg, which makes it about the easiest place in Gauteng to hitch up and leave. The N4 towards the Kruger gates starts a few minutes away, the R21 puts OR Tambo within half an hour, and the Magaliesberg is an hour west. Owners here list everything from lightweight trailers to full touring caravans, and because you collect from the owner rather than a depot you can load up on a Friday afternoon and still be set up on a Highveld campsite before dark.

24 campers available on Kampi in Centurion.

About Centurion

North on the N1 you are in Bela-Bela in about 90 minutes, with the Waterberg bush camps beyond it. East on the N4 through eMalahleni puts the Kruger's Malelane gate roughly four and a half hours out, a comfortable single day with something behind you. West on the R512 you have Hartbeespoort, the Magaliesberg resorts and Pilanesberg, all close enough for a weekend without a long tow. South the Vaal is 45 minutes, and if you keep going the Free State opens up. Centurion's own roads are flat and wide, so a first tow out of here is about as gentle a start as Gauteng gives you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the price on Kampi actually cover?
What you pay is the owner's rate for the camper plus Kampi's service fee for handling the booking and the payment. Where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day; not every camper carries it, some owners carry their own instead, and the camper's own page says which. There is no once-off admin fee. That was Kampi's pricing before 1 July 2026, and a booking made before that date can still show it. Most owners also add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable damage deposit. The camper's own page shows both, and what your dates come to, before you send a request.
How are the rental days counted?
Every day of the trip is charged, including the day you collect the camper and the day you bring it back. A Friday to Sunday trip is three days, not two, because both the collection day and the return day count.
When does the money actually move?
On most campers, nothing is charged when you send a request. You only pay once the owner approves it, and owners have 3 days to answer. A few campers are set up for instant booking instead and charge as soon as you book, the camper's own page says which. Either way, you pay Kampi online, never the owner directly.
Do I need a special licence to tow it?
Not necessarily. Up to 750kg you can tow on an ordinary Code B licence, the same one most drivers already have. Over that you need a Code EB. Every camper's page says which one it needs, and Kampi has a whole page of campers that need no EB at all.
What if I need to cancel, or something goes wrong?
Cancel a request before you have paid and nothing is owed, because nothing was ever charged. Once you have paid, cancelling before the trip starts means a non-refundable booking fee of up to R189 may apply, and the rest is refunded according to the camper's policy. Cancelling once the trip has started, or on a listing with no cancellation policy set, refunds nothing at all: not the rate, not the cleaning fee, not the cover. The camper's own page shows its exact cancellation policy before you book, and it is worth reading before you pay.
Who am I actually renting from?
A private owner, not a franchise or a depot. Sending a request opens a message thread with them under their name, so you can talk before you pay anything. Their phone number and the exact pickup address open up once you have paid, not at the moment they approve. You collect the camper from them in person. Most owners have had an ID document, proof of address and the camper's papers approved by Kampi before their listing went live, though not every one of them has. There is no corporate credit or background check beyond that. What else stands behind them is the reviews they have earned on Kampi.
Is Centurion a good place to start a Kruger trip?
It is one of the better ones. The N4 runs east from here the whole way, it is a toll road in good condition, and Malelane gate is about four and a half hours out. Most people leave early, stop at Machadodorp for fuel, and are set up inside the park by mid afternoon.
How far is Centurion from Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg?
Hartbeespoort is around 50km, so under an hour on the R511 or via the N4 and R512. The Magaliesberg resorts are another 20 to 30 minutes past the dam. It is the standard Gauteng weekend: leave after work on Friday, back on Sunday afternoon, no long haul at either end.
Do I need an EB license to tow from Centurion?
It depends on the camper, not on where you collect it. Lighter trailers and popup campers can be towed on a standard Code B license; heavier touring caravans need a Code EB. Every camper's own page states which license it needs, and the no EB license page lists the ones you can tow without upgrading.
What camper types are available in Centurion?
Centurion and the wider Tshwane side of Gauteng carry a broad mix, from off-road trailers built for gravel to family caravans with a fixed bed and a proper kitchen. What is listed changes as owners come and go, so check the page for what is free on your dates.
