Rent a caravan or camper anywhere in Gauteng, directly from its owner

Most of Kampi's campers are based in Gauteng. Pretoria and Johannesburg between them have more listings than any other province. Makes sense when you think about it: hitch up on a Friday afternoon and you're in the Bushveld by dinner time. Kruger is 5 hours up the N4. The Drakensberg is a morning's drive down the N3. Even the coast is doable for a long weekend. You'll find caravan rentals ranging from lightweight popup trailers (no EB license needed) to big touring caravans with full kitchens, hot showers, and aircon. Pickups are spread across Pretoria, Joburg, Centurion, and the East Rand, check the listing for the exact spot.

About Gauteng

From Gauteng you can go pretty much anywhere. N1 north gets you to the Waterberg and Limpopo bushveld. Bela-Bela is barely 90 minutes. Keep going and you'll hit Kruger via Phalaborwa (5 hours from Pretoria). N4 east takes you through Nelspruit to the Lowveld and Mozambique. N3 south drops you in the Free State or KZN. N14 west? Kalahari and Northern Cape. For quick weekend trips, the Magaliesberg is right on your doorstep, good camping, great braai spots. Hartebeespoort Dam and Pilanesberg are both under 2 hours. Even the Cradle of Humankind is a short drive from Pretoria.

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.
Where can I pick up a caravan in Gauteng?
It depends on the owner. Most are in Pretoria, Joburg, Centurion, or the East Rand. You'll get the exact address once your booking is confirmed, owners usually share a pin drop or directions.
What's the best destination for a Gauteng caravan trip?
Hard to beat Kruger (5-6 hours). Pilanesberg is the quick option, 2 hours and you're on a game drive. The Drakensberg (4-5 hours) is worth it for hiking and mountain air. Magaliesberg (1.5 hours) is perfect for a weekend braai trip.
How much does caravan rental in Gauteng cost?
Owners set their own rates, so it depends on the rig. The per-day price is the owner's rate plus our service fee for handling the booking and the payment, and where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day. There is no once-off admin fee. Most owners add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable deposit, both shown on the listing before you book. A lot of Gauteng owners also offer weekly discounts, so longer trips work out cheaper per day.
Can I tow a caravan without an EB license in Gauteng?
Yep, as long as the trailer is up to 750kg. There are plenty of lightweight campers on Kampi that qualify. Use the 'No EB License required' filter and you'll see what's available near you.
