Caravan Hire in East London

East London is where the Eastern Cape coast gets properly wild. It's the last big town before the road heads north into the Transkei and along the Wild Coast. The city itself has great beaches. Nahoon Reef is a well-known surf spot, and the Amathole Mountains aren't far inland. For caravan travellers, EL is the logical starting point for a Wild Coast trip. Kampi lists campers from East London owners, including rigs that can handle gravel if you're heading off the tar toward Coffee Bay or Port St Johns.

About East London

Head north on the N2 and you're on the Wild Coast road. Butterworth in 1.5 hours, the Coffee Bay turnoff in 3 hours, Port St Johns in 4. Going south-west takes you to Stutterheim, Queenstown, and eventually up toward the Drakensberg. The R72 coastal road west through Kidd's Beach and Hamburg toward Port Alfred (2 hours) is a slower but much more scenic alternative to the N2. In town, Nahoon, Bonza Bay, and Orient Beach caravan parks are all well set up and close to the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is East London near the Wild Coast?
Yes, EL is basically the doorstep. Coffee Bay is about 3 hours north and Port St Johns is 4. The R61 from Mthatha connects to most Wild Coast spots. Just keep in mind that a lot of Wild Coast roads are gravel and can get rough, an off-road capable camper is a good idea for the more remote places.
How far is East London from Port Elizabeth?
PE (Gqeberha) is about 300km away, roughly 3 hours on the N2 via King William's Town. If you've got time, the R72 coastal road takes about 4 hours but it's a far prettier drive.
Are there good caravan parks in East London?
Definitely. Nahoon Caravan Park, Bonza Bay, and Orient Beach Holiday Resort all have power hookups, clean ablution blocks, and you can walk to the beach from your stand. They fill up over December, so book ahead for peak season.
What camper types are available in East London?
Check the East London page on Kampi for what's available. You'll find campers including off-road capable rigs if you're planning a Wild Coast trip on gravel roads.
