Joburg is where Kampi is busiest. Campers are listed right across the city. Sandton, Rosebank, Roodepoort, the West Rand, and everywhere in between. Whether you want a basic trailer tent for a weekend braai trip or a fully kitted caravan for two weeks on the road, there's something in your price range. And because every major highway in SA runs through Joburg, you can get to pretty much anywhere in the country without a detour. Pick up Friday afternoon, hit the road, and you're camping by sunset.

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 it easy to hire a caravan in Johannesburg on Kampi?
Dead simple. Joburg has one of the biggest selections on Kampi. Filter by type and price, send a booking request, and on most campers the owner gets back to you within 72 hours. A few campers are set up for instant booking instead.
Which Johannesburg areas have the most camper listings?
Sandton, Midrand, Roodepoort, and Randburg all have a good number of listings. The South of Joburg too. Search 'Johannesburg' to see everything and where the pickup spots are.
Can I tow a caravan from Johannesburg to Kruger?
Absolutely. Take the N4 via Witbank (eMalahleni) to Nelspruit and then Hazyview, it's the most popular Kruger route from Joburg. About 4 hours to Phabeni Gate. The road is toll-road quality, so any caravan handles it fine.
How much does caravan hire in Johannesburg cost?
It depends on the rig, owners set their own rates. 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. Going for a week or more? Lots of owners knock the daily rate down for longer trips.
